Add a new rule to the ruleset, entitled Hacking:
As a daily action, a Hacker can make a Hack against a Corp Name.
In order to do so, they must select a Codename to use for the attack and a Corp Name to be its target. They must then compare the Hack Value of the Tool of their chosen Codename against the Defence Score of the Corp that is the target. If the Hack Value of the Tool is greater than the Defence Value of the Corp then the Hack is successful. Otherwise, it is unsuccessful.
If the Hack is successful. the Hacker must make a Story Post detailing the target of the Hack and its outcome. If the Hack is unsuccessful then the Hacker must remove one Subroutine from the Tool of the Codename that they have used.
In the rule entitled “Tools of the Trade”, add the following to the end of the first paragraph: “The Hack Value of a Tool is defined by its subroutines. Where a Tool contains multiple versions of the same subroutine, its effects are cumulative unless otherwise stated.”
In the same rule, replace the bulleted list with the following:
- ^ - Slicer - +2 to the Hack Value of this Tool
- @ - Blaster - Reduce the Defence Value of the target Corp Name by 1 permanently before carrying out a Hack with this Tool
- & - Back Door - Replicates the effect of another Subroutine in this Tool, of the Hacker’s choosing
I like Hackers being able to use any Codename; ultimately anything that is achieved by a Codename that you don’t own will go to the glory of the Hacker who does own it, but the occasional act of sabotage / obfuscation will be necessary anyway.
