Armor 4 Stopping Power (SP) There is armor for both the body and head that soaks Damage up to its SP for that location.
Stacking SP Armor SP does not stack. Armor with Highest SP is that location’s SP.
Ablating Each time Attack Damage wounds wearer, the Armor’s SP reduces by 1 until fixed.
If Attack’s Damage wounds wearer, all armor worn in that location is ablated.

Stat Penalties Apply the worst Stat Penalty: Head or Body. Armor Stat Penalties do not stack.

Lightly Wounded Less than full HP No effect. DV10 to Stabilize

Seriously Wounded Less than ⌈1/2⌉ HP -2 all Actions DV13 to Stabilize

Mortally Wounded Less than 1 HP -4 all Actions; -6 MOVE. Make Death Save each Turn. DV15 to Heal to 1HP
Death Save Penalty increases by 1 each turn. Unconscious 1 min

CYBERPUNK RED: Netrunning (Actions and Interface Abilities)
Action Types 1 NOTE: In addition to a Move Action, a Netrunner may use either Meat Actions or Net Actions in a round not both.
Meat Actions Non-move Actions everyone may take in reality or Meatspace (see Combat Sequence Sheet).

Net Actions Non-move Actions that occur in the Net Architecture. Interface Rank increases possible per-turn Net Actions.

Interface Rank 1–3 4–6 7–9 10

Per Turn
Number of Actions 2 3 4 5

Net Action List 2 Activate or Deactivate Program In order to use a Program, a Netrunner must Activate it.
Deactivated A Deactivated Program is no longer running. Activate again to run at full-REZ.
Derezzed 3 At 0 REZ (HP), a Program is useless yet still running.

Deactivate and Activate to run program again at full REZ (HP).

Destroyed 3 A Destroyed Program is erased: buy and install a new one.
Jack In or Out Enter or exit Netspace while within 5 m/yds of access point. Walls block access.

Voluntary Jack-out All Net Architecture Defenses reset. Jack In to same Access Point to restart run.
Netrunner Programs leave with Netrunner. Viruses left on lowest level persist.
Involuntary Jack-out Suffer effects of all non-derezzed Black Ice encountered on run.

Miscellaneous The Virus Interface Ability covers most eventualities; anything else is at the GM’s whim.
Use Interface Ability Interface Rank + 1d10 vs. DV Aside from Scanner, all Interface Abilities use a Net Action.

Interface Abilities 4

Backdoor 1 Beat GM-determined DV to bypass passwords in Net Architecture.

Cloak 1 Netrunner hides own actions and Viruses left behind: Interface Ability roll becomes Pathfinder DV—no Cloak means auto-success.
Control 1 Beat GM-determined DV to control a Control Node’s devices anywhere in a Net Architecture: each device takes 1 Net Action to control.

Each Control Node may be activated once per Turn. Control Check DV vs. another Netrunner or Demon is their Control Check.
Eye-Dee 1 Beat GM-determined DV (if any) to determine what a found piece of data is and appraise its value.

Pathfinder 1 Reveal the number of floors and what’s in them, but not the DV of anything, up to the first obstruction with a DV higher than your Check.

Scanner 1 Use Meat Action to find Meatspace Access Points in area. Higher DVs mean more Access Points are found.
Slide 1 Once per turn vs. Black Ice’s Perception + 1d10, flee combat and slide to adjacent floor. Passwords and NET obstruction block Slide.

Virus 1 On lowest level of Net Architecture, leave a Virus that performs up to 2 actions or changes and persist after Netrunner Jacks Out.
For a number of Net Actions based on Virus’s power, beat GM-determined DV to install. DV to Destroy Virus is Netrunner’s Virus Check.

Black ICE Classes 5 Anti-personnel Hunt and kill Netrunners, but not Programs.

Anti-program Hunt and kill Rezzed Programs, but not Netrunners.

Demon Programs too big for Cyberdecks that operate Control Notes to defend Net Architectures or Meatspaces.

Encounters 5 1 Netrunner’s Interface + any active SPEED bonus + 1d10 Vs. Black ICE’s SPEED +1d10
If Black ICE wins, Netrunner or random Program suffers Black ICE’s effect. Win or lose, place Black ICE at top of Initiative.

2 Until Derezzed or Slid by, Black ICE attacks each Turn (ATK + 1d10 vs. Netrunner’s Interface + 1d10 or Program’s DEF + 1d10).
Undefeated Black ICE follow enemy Netrunners until Derezzed or Slid by. Black ICE lie in wait where they were Slid by.

Beyond Programs: Doing a Netrun

The Elevator Net Architectures are like virtual skyscrapers with an elevator connecting single-room floors where something waits for the Netrunner.

Movement Netrunners must move through each floor in order starting at the top. Net obstructions block movement. Floors may not be skipped.
Netrunning Style Stealth, speed, force, or pure luck: It’s up to the Netrunner how they interact with the Net Architecture and its denizens.

Beyond Black ICE: Demons 2

What are they? Limited AI or Black ICE Intelligent Systems designed to control and manage a Meatspace and attack intruders using Control Nods.
Demons are stupid and act on triggers. For example, anyone not wearing an ID badge (even legit employees) get a turret’s gift of death.

Meatspace Combat Demons use Interface + Combat Number + 1d10 to control drones, turrets, and other non-automated defenses.
Netspace Combat Instantly aware of any Netrunner presence and its entire Net Architecture, Initiative starts and the Demon at the top of the Queue.

A Demon is unimpeded by Passwords, automatically wins Speed contests vs. Programs, yet is unable to run Programs or Black ICE.
Demons prioritize acting on Control Node triggers using Net Actions and Control then Zap to defend themselves by Zapping Netrunners.
