allows more opportunity to cause Critical results, destroy cover

Rifle (3) and Tsunami Arms Helix (4).
Spray'n'Pray is an alternative way of using autofire, involving a
more liberal spread of bullets to ensure a hit rather than
attempting to focus as many bullets as possible into a small area.
Spray'n'pray still uses the Autofire skill, but
(so +2 for SMGs and Assault Rifles,

the Head misses completely, regardless of coverage.
Suppressive Fire can be used against those already in cover to
keep their heads down. A failed Concentration Check will force
them to use Full Coverage on their next Turn.
Unlike characters (and vehicles), cover is damaged similarly to
armour (it still does not provide "bonus SP", it still either stops
an attack or it doesn't). The damage dice are rolled but not added
together, instead you just need at least one six to damage cover,
,.
All Thick cover materials and most Thin cover have a Durability
(equal to a fifth of their HP as written in the core rulebook). See
below for reference.
(Thick 10, Thin 5), (Thick 8, Thin 4),
(Thick 6, Thin 3), (Thick 5, Thin 2), (Thick
4, Thin 1), (Thick 3, Thin N/A; destroyed on impact).
When cover is reduced to half Durability or less (round down),
it becomes less effective. In this regard the Cover DV Modifier
is halved, essentially Good Coverage (+4) becomes Poor
Coverage (+2) until destroyed, and Poor Coverage gets reduced
to +1 until destroyed.
Though characters (including NPCs) will have a few less Hit
Points, they can take the opportunity to recover some during,
and at the end of combat.
Hit Points are now worked out:

during combat; they must have Full Coverage with no danger of

Mortally Wounded cannot recover without medical treatment.
A netrunner also has the option to make a Recovery Action
while Jacked In, though this will use a Meat Action, so they won't
be able to do any NET Actions while recovering that Round.

by their current wounded state. Only Stabilisation and rest (as
well as Speedheal) can heal Hit Points above these thresholds.
Vehicles can be used as cover, as well as transports. But due to

use the same rules as characters for damage.

Alternative Netrunning rules using the elements as (mostly)
presented in the core rulebook. They're a bit "Gibsonesque",
that, as an old Cyberpunk GM, I'm more used to personally using.
This is simply a change of name and replaces Backdoor. Also
now a "Backdoor Tunnel" to the Architecture Core (see later)
is something that can be left as a Virus Action.
Instead of going with the Elevator idea, a NET Architecture is
now represented visually as a Cylinder, the centre a pillar of light
representing the Core (bottom of elevator) with ICE Walls
(instead of Floors and Passwords) revolving around the pillar that
the netrunner has to progress through to breach the Core.
A NET Architecture can cover up to an entire building (up to
ten floors) for private systems or a city block for government
civil systems. That's not to say that specific building floors or
areas won't have their own ramped-up NET Architecture. A
netrunner needs to be within 6m of any device or access point
to Jack In, but once in, they can move about freely as long as
within the boundaries of that particular NET Architecture (seen
as a hazy red wall through virtuality goggles).
As 'Floors' aren't required for Control Nodes and Files,
, in that regard only
(instead of 3d6 floors).
ICE Walls can have up to three 'layers'. A Black ICE Wall can use
multiple layers to have more than one Black ICE program (3
max), all Black ICE forming that wall attack at once as they would
a floor. Additional layers added to White ICE (see later) simply
increase the DV by +1 per additional layer to the first.
A device is connected to a Control Node through a Control
Node Link, which can serve as an Access Point into the
connected NET Architecture. Any such nearby devices on the
current floor can be identified and located with a Scanner Action
(or with "eyes-on" using virtuality goggles if within line of sight).
The DV for the Scanner action to locate a controlled device is
conveniently the same as the device's Control Node DV, all
devices within range of the netrunner that have a Control DV
less than the Interface + 1d10 result will be highlighted in the
netrunner's virtuality goggles. A single device can be directly
taken control of using Control Action once identified and within
6m (or compromised using Electronics/Security).
When a device has been successfully identified with a Scanner
Action or spotted with virtuality goggles, the netrunner can now
use the device's Control Node Link as an Access Point to Jack In
into Net Architecture for the building, when within 6m of the
device. The netrunner will always begin at the outermost (first)
ICE Wall of the Architecture.
Revolving around and surrounding the pillar of light are Walls of
ICE, some White (non-lethal), some Black (lethal).

White ICE doesn't just have to be bypassed using Intrusion (if it
has multiple layers, that may not even be possible); a netrunner
can also "hammer" through, using a NET Turn to Activate an
ICE-Breaker program (Ice Pick and/or Ice Cutter), the

through White ICE doesn't require any Check, but it is "noisy"
giving the Netrunner a Penalty to all Cloak Actions in that
Architecture until they Jack Out, equal to -1 per White ICE Wall
Derezzed.
.
A Pathfinder NET Action works a little differently now, a result
total is generated using Interface + 1d10 as usual. The total is
how far through the ICE the netrunner can see, essentially the
total is reduced each time it hits a White ICE Wall or Black ICE
Wall (identifying the ICE), it passes through each wall until it
reaches zero and stops at that ICE Wall, or reaches the Core.
The amount the total is reduced by is equal to either
. Count a Wall once, regardless of layers.
When Pathfinder Action succeeds in reaching the Core, the
netrunner will see any Demons installed (and what they are) and
any other netrunners Jacked Into the Architecture (if they're
Cloaked, remaining Pathfinder total must beat their Cloak DV).
Once all the Walls of ICE have been either penetrated or
Derezzed, the netrunner will be able to enter the NET
Architecture's Core. This works the same as reaching the bottom
of the elevator and a Virus can be left.
Control Nodes, Files and such can be accessed once the Core
has been breached,
. Files require individual
actions to search for (see later).

 NET damage Critical Injury rules are similar to the rules
presented in this document in as far as
. However, this is how "Critical Effects" are
triggered with Black ICE and programs. If it isn't possible to
trigger the Critical (no more programs to destroy, crashed
Cyberdeck Critical received as part of unsafe Jack Out when
Cyberdeck already 'crashing', all effected STATs are already at
1 etc.), instead the netrunner suffers a Head Critical Injury. This
is additional damage to the brain, causing reactive symptoms; a
"Damaged Eye" Critical Injury could mean blurred vision, for
example. "Lost Eye/Ear", is considered to be temporary
blindness/deafness until treated, "Foreign Object" counts as an
additional entry of Brain Injury. If they are already suffering the
rolled for Injury, the Critical is ignored.
Should a netrunner have their Hit Points reduced to 0 from
Black ICE and receive the Brain Injury Critical, a Death Save must
immediately be made to avoid total brain death. If they make the
roll, the Death Save Penalty increases by one and a Death Save
will be made as normal at the start of their next Turn (as they
convulse on the floor). If the Brain Injury Death Save is failed,
the Black ICE has utterly destroyed their mind.
As you need to be at the Core to use Control Nodes, this is
where you will find Demon programs (as well as on-site
netrunner security). Demon programs will defend the Core
much the same as they will defend a room using a turret, if it's
unauthorised, it's going get attacked. And not just with a Zap
either, no, with a small assortment of non-Black ICE programs
hardwired into the system. 1 Demon can be added to an
Architecture for every 4 Walls incorporated in the system.
Using a Cloak NET Action sets a difficulty the Demon has to
beat to notice the netrunner's actions whenever they perform a
Control Action, accessing a File, or attempt an Interface Check
to install a Virus while in the Core. The Demon uses it's Interface
+ 1d10 vs the Cloak DV, this counts as a Pathfinder Action, so
if one of it's programs is See Ya, this will also add to the result.
If discovered, the netrunner will be attacked by the Demon until
the netrunner has left the Core or the Demon program is
Derezzed. Leaving the Core will take the netrunner to the last
ICE Wall that is still Rezzed.
To re-enter they will have to once again bypass the last Rezzed
ICE Wall leading into the Core; using Intrusion if White or Slide
if Black ICE, once they have re-Cloaked (unless all the Walls are
Derezzed, in which case, the netrunner can stroll right back in
again, though remember -1 to Cloak per Derezzed White ICE
Wall, for hammering through). If a netrunner doesn't perform a
Cloak Action after discovery by a Demon before re-entering the
Core (or it returns from Derezzing, see Demonic REZurrection),
the Demon will automatically be aware of the intruder and attack
again.
These are the same used by netrunners, the Core can have up
to one program plus another per 4 Walls. A Demon (or
Mini-Demon, see later) can activate a program once per Round
just as a netrunner. Usual choices are DeckKRASH or Hellbolt,
See Ya and Armor non-Attacker programs are popular as well.
Demons are hardwired into a system, they can be Derezzed,
but they cannot be destroyed, worse, they don't need a reset of
the Architecture to Rerezz either. A Derezzed Demon will
automatically deactivate and reboot in 5 Rounds (15 seconds),
same as a crashed Cyberdeck.
Highest ICE Wall DV. Demon's NET Actions.
Blocks Demonic REZurrection until this virus removed.
As there are no floors, the size of the system is determined by
the number of ICE Walls the Architecture will have, which is
relative to the system's OSI. There are a fewer walls than floors
(a third less), the costs and limits are amended as follows:
1-4 2 Y ES 1,000 EB
5-8 3 NO 5,000 EB
9-12 N/A NO 10,000 EB
The maximum Control Nodes indicated is just the nodes
themselves, any number of devices that node is designed to
control can be linked to it, the restriction comes from how many
Demons, system users or netrunners you have to operate them.
Buying Black ICE works exactly the same as written in the book
and is just assigned to a Wall instead of a floor, up to three layers
of Black ICE can be added to a Wall.
For White ICE, use the DV based cost for Passwords as the cost
for a Blocker Wall, an Entangle Wall will cost an additional 500eb
on top of DV based price, and a Disrupter Wall will cost an
additional 1,000eb. Each additional layer of White ICE increases
the Intrusion DV by +1 and costs the same as the first (and must
be the same type), again up to three layers total can be placed
on a Wall.
Again, the cost is as written for adding a Control Node to the
Architecture Core, restricted by the number of Walls the
Architecture has. Remember, only one Control Node is required
for each type of device, not individual device.
Much like a Control Node can be used for any number of
devices, you can add any number of data files to an Architecture.
Some of these (anything sensitive or important) are going to be
hidden and protected (encrypted) others are links to Black ICE
hidden within the system.
. For bought encryption, Cryptography
Check DVs are the same as Defences (DV 13 = 1,000eb, for
example), and must be applied to each File individually. Or you
can do your own encrypting (Cryptography Skill Check sets DV).
To install hidden Black ICE is a simple case of buying the ICE
and then buying additional "File Protection", this is actually
software that disguises the link, trigger, and the ICE itself.

This follows the same rules as written, with the exceptions that
Demons are restricted to one for every 4 ICE Walls, and that
you can buy as many devices of the same type as you like to
connect to a Control Node of that type
A slight addendum is the cost of Observation Cameras, these
are way cheaper than written: 50eb (Costly).
Until this is covered a bit more, here are some options:
A portable NET Architecture with one to four Walls and up to
two Control Nodes. A Demon (or Mini-Demon, see below) can
be installed in order to control the drones for the operator, or
the operator will have to directly control the drones themselves.
Direct control of a drone through a dedicated rig can be
accomplished using a NET Action as normal (no Interface Check
required, it's your system), non-netrunner operators linked
through Interface Plugs and Neuraware will have the equivalent
of 2 NET Actions for controlling their own drones as there is no
Interface Check requirement to do so (they obviously still can't
take control of someone else's drones unless they've been
compromised). Manual control allows one drone to be
controlled per (Meat) Action with a -2 penalty for any required
Checks. When drones and other moveable devices are
controlled manually, the operator must use Drive Land (or Pilot
Air) Vehicles skill for any movement Checks for that device, the
-2 penalty also still applies.
For 500eb an Agent can be bought which can have up to two
Control Nodes installed (hence it can only control two types of
device, be it cameras, flying drones, ground drones, etc). It is no
where near powerful enough to install a Demon onto, but it can
install a single Mini-Demon.
A Dedicated NET Agent also comes with Interface Plug sockets
for direct neural connection to control drones, manual control
is also possible.
Less powerful Demon variants, used to control drones (or any
other device) through a NET Architecture (one Mini-Demon per
2 Walls) or a Dedicated NET Agent.
Essentially scaled down variants of those presented in the book,
they have less I
. Also, they cost a lot less; Mini-Imp = 100eb, Mini-Efreet =
500eb and a Mini-Balron = 1,000eb.
Basically all STATs remain as written, only the Effect and Cost
has changed, Zombie replaces Liche (both effect and listing on
the table, Liche can be added on a 3 or 18 result, GM call).
When Black ICE is activated on a Cyberdeck, it works the same
way as a NET Architecture. That is, the Cyberdeck is treated as
the Core and is surrounded by the Black ICE Wall. Black ICE
cannot effect other ICE as they are programs meant to stop
intruders (Intrusion Countermeasure Electronics - ICE), but it
can do what it's intended design is, and stop enemy netrunners
from accessing the Cyberdeck. This means that any enemy
netrunner (or Demon) must first Derezz or Slide pass the Black
ICE to attack the protected deck and netrunner.
For the installation of White ICE, a Cyberdeck or Dedicated
NET Agent is considered to have a free DV 6 Blocker Wall,
upgrading that or adding more will cost the same as buying a Net
Architecture White ICE Wall. Additional White ICE will take 2
slots as with Black ICE for a Cyberdeck, a Dedicated NET Agent
isn't powerful enough to add any more ICE, but it can upgrade.
If an intruding netrunner suffers an unsafe Jack Out of an
Architecture, they suffer the direct damage to the brain (and the
Critical Effects if sixes are rolled) listed of all Rezzed enemy Black
ICE they've encountered in the Architecture as they leave.

Its common knowledge that things never sit still in the computer
world, especially when it comes to NET security. To reflect this,
at the end of a job, or in between, a netrunner (or NET
Architecture owner) should roll a d10 for each program (not
copies of) and ICE they have (White or Black).
If a result of '1' comes up, copies of their version of that
program is now outdated, see below for the effect. This effect
is in place for each copy until the netunner pays 50% of the
program cost to replace that copy for an updated version for
that program (a Fixer or Night Market connections may be
required to find the latest Attacker, Black ICE and ICE-Breaker
programs). Outdated programs cost 25% (if you're desperate).

'1' stack applying a further -1 to Penalty.
Applies a -1 DV vs all Intrusion Checks made against it. If not

Unfortunately these programs are completely nullified when
they become outdated and cannot be used until updated.

Rating, above Advanced. This level of difficulty is reserved for
the likes of top secret corporate installations or government
military NET Architectures. Tread carefully (both GM and PC):

A NET Vault is a less accessible NET Architecture where the
most sensitive data is stored, for whatever purpose the
building/facility has. These are always accessed through a
dedicated Access Point, which requires to be within 6m of.
High level data for big corporations will always use NET Vaults,
which can sometimes be at a Fortress Difficulty Rating itself
(depending on corporation and data).
While tweaking with Netrunning, my scope started to broaden
as to how I wanted a post 4th Corporate War NET to look like,
while taking into account the idea of Netwatch's The Black Wall.
Below is what I came up with; like everything else, use it or not.
Netwatch have essentially built super-controlled, information
super-highway tunnels; the walls of which consisting of many
versions and copies of the most potent Anti-Program and
Anti-Personnel Black ICE they could come up with, called The
Black Wall. The NET is highly controlled now, all NET
Architectures have to 'officially' be registered with Netwatch
(20eb per ICE Wall registration fee). Through this, Netwatch;
tracks, follows, monitors, logs and essentially spies on every
movement of data that occurs between Architectures, including
the city's Data Pool. The protection used for a city Data Pool is
a direct extension of The Black Wall, and is monitored.
Sort of, it is far safer to be "on-site" where the NET Architecture
is or use a direct link from one Architecture to a distant one via
a NET Connection. However, it is possible to access Cyberspace
and travel to a NET Architecture through it, but there are three
things that need to be considered:
This is fundamental, before you cross through The Black Wall
and dive into the exceptionally dangerous 'realm' of Cyberspace,
it is necessary that you have acquired the target Architecture's
'NET-Code' (a kind of IP address). This will likely be done
through legwork; talking to contacts, B&E into executive offices
and dwellings, netrunning associated systems, and so on. Of
course,
to acquire an
Architecture's NET-Code. And that's if it even has one at all, a
NET Vault will obviously never have one.
I mean, there is nothing stopping you from wandering around
Cyberspace hoping to get lucky... Apart from the ridiculously
small chance of "happening across" other NET Architectures
in Cyberspace, let alone the one you're looking for, as well as
the high probability of encountering some monstrous killer...
Essentially Cyberspace is the Old NET, full of Rogue AIs, NET
ghosts, free roaming advanced killer daemon programs, and all
manner of other nastiness. I'm currently using variations of
'free-roaming Demons', to represent these entities and what
they'll do to a Cyberspace travelling netrunner, these are called
"Revenants", see later.
Is REALLY unsafe. Not only does the netrunner suffer the effects
of all Black ICE in the system they're crashed from, they will also
, and finally
they'll take damage as The Black Wall crashes into them, equal
to
(a Critical will result
in a Critical Injury to the Head).
So first off, "Running Cyberspace" requires the old traditional
full immersion of the body and senses, it is just too demanding
on the mind, a netrunner just can't afford to be physically active
as well, all focus must be on netrunning.
As The Black Wall extends to a city's Data Pool, it can be
'reached' from almost anywhere in the city which has a
connection port to the Data Pool. All apartments (and better)
will have such a port, as well as most hotel rooms (except cheap
ones) and a cube hotel will have one port (administrator's office).
To cross The Black Wall requires an Intrusion NET Action, with
a DV set by Threat Rating of the area being Jacked In from, a
failed Check may cause an automatic response of law enforcers:
Combat/Outskirts 8 None, but gangers may be about.
Moderate 10 1d6 Minutes, Police investigation.
Corp/Moderate (Gov) 12 2d6 Rounds, Corp or Police raid.
Not exactly the romantic idea of flying along beams of light, this
is more about being being stealthy and avoiding the denizens that
live here. Once passed The Black Wall, ideally the netrunner
need only to punch in the NET-Code and they'll zip instantly to
the virtual location of the NET Architecture in Cyberspace,
appearing at the outermost ICE wall. But its not that simple.
In order to not get attacked along the way, a netrunner will
spend a NET Action to perform Cloak as part of travelling to the
Architecture. DV depends on how closely located, physically,
the NET Architecture is from the netrunner:
Same City/Settlement 8
Different City (same country) 10
International 12
Failure results in an encounter with a Revenant. GM rolls 1d6:

Likely Programs: Flatline, Murphy
(E FREET D EMON E QUIVALENT )
Likely Programs: Armor, Poison Flatline, Superglue
(B ALRON D EMON E QUIVALENT )
Likely Programs: Armor, Hellbolt, Kraken (Black ICE), Viral 45
The Revenant will have to be Derezzed before continuing.
Continuing will require another Cloak NET Action as before.
The Revenant will REZurrect seconds after being Derezzed,
looking for the netrunner, waiting (should an unsafe Jack Out
occur). Or may be a hook for a future scenario as the netrunner
is hunted in Meat Space as well as Cyberspace, see Revenants.

If the Cloak NET Action is successful, the netrunner has managed

to avoid any (more) encounters in Cyberspace and have reached
the outer ICE Wall of the target NET Architecture.

Revenants use the same STATS as Demons with the exception

that they gain a +2 increase to their Interface Ability. They also
have a number of Non-Black ICE Programs (or Black ICE) at
their disposal (equal the number of NET Actions they have).
Unlike a netrunner's Cyberdeck, Black ICE does not take up 2
program choices of the Revenant. All the programs are
integrated as part of the digital entity and cannot be destroyed.

A Revenant's connection to Cyberspace gives it a natural

NET-SP (NET Surge Protection).
NET-SP 4
NET-SP 7
NET-SP 11

The Black Wall can be crossed over, and a Revenant can

potentially perform an Intrusion NET Action as well as a
netrunner.
