Matrix damage goes to the device first, resisted with its Device Rating and the Technomancer's Firewall (if better), allowing it to acts as ablative armor for the technomancer. While going through this secondary system, the technomancer can use their Living Persona and benefit from any of the Living Persona’s attributes while performing actions, but cannot perform the Compile Sprite, Register Sprite, or Thread Complex Form actions. Here is it useful as a means of pretending to be a decker, but not without its drawbacksĪ strange twist of the Matrix follows the technomancer even through secondary means of connection, giving them the ability to perform some Resonance actions while jacked into the Matrix through a commlink or cyberdeck. If they Echo an auto-soft, it runs at a rating equal to their Submersion grade and can apply to all slaved drones that are not running their own autosofts (as normal).Īnd since the original wording left no applicable actions. Nor do they have room for autosofts, but if they Echo any programs these would still be passed down to the slaved devices. They do not get the benefits of noise reduction as they would with a command console, there are other means to get that. Thus allowing the Technomancer to provide master-slave matrix overwatch or slave and command drones as if they had a Command Console. This allows the Living Persona to act as the Master of a PAN using the Living Persona attributes. Known as the Man-Machine Resonance Interface, this echo subtly manipulates the Resonance coming off the technomancer, allowing them to better control devices devices. All it needs is the master-slave interface that the living persona normally lacks So why not have one that allows it to simulate a command console. The technomancer brain emulates a cyberdeck already, and 3 other echos replace cyberware. With the idea that echos are small bonuses or simply offer additional base capability. So, here is how I am fixing these, if anyone cares. Of course this still isn't all that useful since you could just have a window open with a view of the camera on your comlink. Sleepwalker: Badly worded, I assume it was supposed to read "This allows them to choose to perform Perception-related Free Actions while in the Matrix for the real world.". Skinlink: Like FFF and MOM this replaces cyberware, with the bonus of affecting devices even if you cannot get to the port. Resonance Scream: Like quiet, not bad, like using the jammer action as a free action without preventing yourself from hacking. Why can you decompile through a commlink but not compile? Isn't it the same thing in reverse? So realistically all this means is "if you GM said you can't hack with a deck because you technomancer skills are technically different from a decker's take this echo to play an even more expensive build of decker (or to hide your technomancy)
Resonance Riding: So, you can do resonance actions except compile and register sprites and thread complex forms. But not as useful to a lone technomancer. Quiet: AOE noise reducer, could be useful for supplementing a party of deckers and riggers.
In 5th, this is all part of normal communication protocols (like in real life) so this power makes no sense and mechanically does nothing. Mathemagics: WTF? Encrypt and decrypt are actions from 4th ed, not 5th. The echos seem like they were written by someone who has never read much less played SR5.įFF: Fine, it's actually pretty cool and balances against Mind Over Machine as an echo that replaces some cyberware
But I have to gripe about the echos (hope an author reads this).
