Ah, that reminds me. Couple more house rules.

First, if a piece of 'ware or gear doesn't state any wireless bonuses, it isn't wireless, so no hacking into bone meshes or plain katanas. Maybe it connects to the Matrix to upload diagnostic data or something, and a hacker technically could get in, there wouldn't really be anything meaningful he could do with it.

As far as poo poo like cybereyes, I will rule that they are hackable as long as they are wirelessly connected to something like a smartlink. They aren't slaved to the link, though, nor vice-versa.

Regarding grenades, no chunky salsa. That poo poo's all broke.

Guns do enough damage to bullets in firing them that enchantments would be wiped, but arrows, swords, etc. can hold an enchantment.
In the case of melee weapons and destructive enchants, however, the weapon will need to resist the same amount of damage dealt by the enchantment only (unless it is stun, of course.)

I'm still new to this system, so if there are any problems introduced here, I may not be aware of them, and I would welcome opinions on the matter.

Here's a thought: what if a decker hacked the diagnostics on the bone-lacing and had it report a broken femur or something lifethreatening to said guys biomonitor, which....pages the doc wagon contract. Confusion is meaningful enough right?

I like how you think. Ok, clever poo poo like that will be ruled on on a case-by-case basis.

Of course, you've just summoned more potential opponents, depending on the guy's state when they get there, but I'm the GM, not your common-sense, so I'd allow it.

It was sort of a two part process.

I used this sheet for most of my actual chargenning. I then found this while googling for any other excel sheets, copied it, saved the copy on my own GDrive, then filled it out.

It ain't Chummer, but it gets the job done rather nicely. Note that the first does not list anything from the books - everything has to be filled out yourself. What it DOES do, is do all the actual math and number crunching. Which for me was all I needed it to do, to be honest.

In between major runs there will be sufficient downtime to handle stuff like that. Although I guess learning a brand new skill or bringing one from like, 1 to 2, could be done during a run. We'd just assume you're working on it during the downtime and travel times.

If you have other ideas, I'm listening, though.

Nope, that sounds like what I was hoping for. So I'd be able to use Karma to get a rank in a couple active skills and knowledge skills after the meeting with Mr. Kim?
