CHARACTERS

Characters are created using the process detailed below:

● Roll 3d6 for each Statistic. Note Modifiers.
● Choose an Origin, note special abilities granted.
● Choose a Class. Note Armor Proficiencies, Starting Augmentations, and Special
Abilities.
● Roll twice for Weapon Proficiencies, re-roll any repeats.
● Choose a Favored Skill.
● Roll 3d6 * 100 to determine Starting Funds and purchase equipment.
● Determine and note Armor Class and Hit Points.
● Choose a name and sail the stars!

STATISTICS
Statistics are values that represent the capability of a Character in certain areas.
Statistics are determined by rolling 3d6. Statistics are accompanied by a Modifier equal
to:
(Stat - 10) / 2, rounded down

STRENGTH: Physical health and strength.

DEXTERITY: Agility and reflexes.
MIND: Intelligence, streetsmarts, mental fortitude.
CHARISMA: Social skills, personality.

In addition, there are a number of secondary Statistics:

HIT POINTS: Hit Points are a value that represent a Characters luck, health and stamina.
determined by rolling 1d6+STRENGTH Modifier. Hit Points are reduced each time a
Character takes damage. When HP reaches 0, the Character is unconscious, at negative
HP, the Character is bleeding out and loses 1 HP per round. If a Character is reduced to
-10 HP, they die. HP regenerates at a rate of 1d4 per day of rest. When healing using
Nanopowers or Medkits, ignore negative HP and count up from zero. At ½ HP or less, all
rolls are penalized by 2.

ARMOR CLASS: Armor Class is a value that represents how well protected a Character is
from attack. Armor Class is equal to 10+DEX Modifier. Armor Class can be improved by
wearing Armor and certain Augmentations.

MELEE ATTACK BONUS: Represents how skilled your Character is at Melee Combat.
Equal to ½ Level (rounded down) + STR Modifier.

RANGED ATTACK BONUS: Represents how skilled your Character is at Ranged Combat.
Equal to ½ Level (rounded down) + DEX Modifier.

ORIGIN
Each Character has an Origin, which determines where in the System they hail from and
how they have been genetically modified. Humanity has split up into 3 “forks”, each of
which are slightly different from one another, but remain sexually compatible.
Benevolent Nanoviruses spread throughout the human population prevent bone and
muscle loss in microgravity.

FLAT: +1 to one Statistic of choice. Found on Earth and Venus.

SPACER: Take half damage from vacuum exposure, +2 to Saving Throws against
Radiation. Found on orbital stations and Asteroid colonies.
RUSTERS: +2 to Saving Throws against Radiation. Can survive unclothed in
temperatures up to -15 degrees Celsius. Found primarily on Mars and The
Jovian/Saturnian Moons.

WEAPON PROFICIENCIES
All Characters have proficiency with 2 types of weapons. Using a weapon of a
non-proficient group penalizes all attack rolls by -2.

CLASS
A Class is what your Character is trained in, a sort of job, if you will. Class determines
Armor Proficiency, Starting Augmentations and Special Abilities. All Characters begin at
Level 1.

RONIN
Ronin are skilled street warriors, guns for hire, augmented killers. Ronin are the
backbone of any crew, and are the strongest Class in realspace combat.

Ronin have a +1 to Athletics. Ronin use their full Level for Melee and Ranged Attack
bonus. Ronin can wear all Armor, and begin with the LOOM Neurosystem, ID Chip and
Neurachem augmentations.

SHINOBI
Shinobi are those who live by stealth and subterfuge, Shinobi are thieves who live by
darkness and would rather slip a mono-knife between an enemy's shoulder blades
before they can even react than confront them head on.
Shinobi have a +1 to Subterfuge. Shinobi can only wear Light Armor. When attacking an
unaware enemy, Shinobi add +4 to their Attack Roll and double their damage. Shinobi
begin with the LOOM Neurosystem, ID Chip and Leopard Grafts (in both legs)
Augmentations.

HACKER
Hackers are computer criminals, console cowboys, who use the Weave to penetrate the
most secure computer systems with ease. In a world where everyone and everything is
connected to the Internet, Hackers are a necessity for any crew.

Hackers have a +1 to Hacking. Hackers add their Level to Trace Time when entering a
Computer System. Hackers can wear up to light armor, and start with the LOOM
Neurosystem, ID Chip, and Grade 1 Integrated Deck Augmentations.

PSIONS (OPTIONAL CLASS)

Psions are people born with a rare genetic mutation that allows them to produce and
manipulate nanites to affect their surroundings in seemingly supernatural ways. Less
than 1/10000 are born with Psionic abilities, and while Psions are widely hated and
feared, Psions are highly valued by most Exocorps.

Psions are the only Class that can use Nanopowers, for more information, see Psionics.
Psions can wear up to light armor. Psions begin with the LOOM Neurosystem and ID
Chip Augmentations.

MODDERS
Modders are skilled techno-wizards with the ability to easily modify, disassemble and
repair advanced technology at a moment’s notice. Modders are one of the most
versatile Classes, and are the rulers of the technological world.
Modders have a +1 to Technology. Modders do not receive the movement penalty when
using Drones in combat, and inflict double damage to machines and robots. Modders
begin with the LOOM Neurosystem, ID Chip and Chip Plug Augmentations.
SKILLS
Skills are values that represent your Characters skill in specific areas. A Characters
proficiency in a Skill is represented by Rank, is equal to: (½ Level) + Class Modifier. Each
Character can choose a Favored Skill, the Rank of Favored Skills is equal to: Level + Class
Modifier.

There are just 9 Skills:

● Athletics, physical activity.
● Subterfuge, thievery and stealth.
● Communication, social skills and deception.
● Technology, repair and use of advanced technology.
● Hacking, computer programming.
● Knowledge, general knowledge and science.
● Perception, senses and awareness.
● Drive, use land vehicles.
● Pilot, use aircraft and spacecraft.

Skill Checks are made whenever a Character attempts a Task with a significant chance
of failure, they make a Skill Check to determine whether or not they succeed. Skill
Checks are made using the Skill and Statistic determined by the GM.

SKILL ROLL: 1d20 + Skill Rank + Statistic Modifier.

If the sum of a Skill Roll is equal to or greater than the Difficulty set by the GM, it is a
success. GM’s should use the list below as a guideline to determine Difficulty.
EASY TASK 10
NORMAL TASK 12
ANNOYING TASK 15
HARD TASK 18
VERY HARD TASK 20
NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TASK 25
EQUIPMENT
Equipment plays a vital role in LaGrange, each Character begins with 3d6 * 1000 Credits
with which to purchase equipment. LaGrange Characters have a certain number of Item
Slots equal to 8 + Strength Modifier. Each carried item generally consumes one Slot, but
certain weapons or pieces of armor consume more. Oftentimes small items can be
bundled together to only consume one Slot.

Psionics are abilities used by emitting and manipulating nanites, Psionics are only
usable by Psions. A Psion begins knowing two first-level Nanopowers, and can learn a
new Nanopower each time they level up. Psions may only know Nanopowers of a Power
Tier equal to or less than their Level. Psions have a certain amount of Psi Points
determined by Level and Mind Modifier, each time a Nanopower is activated, Psi Points
are spent. Psi Points regenerate only if the Psion sleeps for 4 hours uninterrupted.

COMBAT
INITIATIVE AND TURNS
Each participant in combat rolls 1d20 + Dexterity. Highest rollers take their turn first in
turn order, lowest rollers last. When all Participants have acted, the round restarts.

On a Participant’s Turn in combat, they may, in any order, move up to 6m, interact with
an object (pull a lever, retrieve an item from a bag, etc.), and take a Major Action
(reloading a weapon, attacking a target with weapon, activating a nanopower).

FIRE TYPE
When attacking with a firearm, you must choose which fire type you are using, S, B or F.
The fire types available to your weapon are listed on the firearms table. Fire types
consume differing amounts of ammunition and deal differing amounts of damage.
SINGLE SHOT (S): One die of damage. One ammo used.
BURST FIRE (B): One die of damage. Three ammo used. +2 To Hit and Damage.
FULL AUTO (F): Five dice of damage, 3d10 ammo used. Rather than targeting a
single participant, target all participants (including allies) in a 2mx2m square. Compare
the attack roll to the Armor Class of all within the square to determine if they were hit.
-2 To Hit on areas more than 3m away.

ATTACK ROLLS
When attacking, an Attack Roll must be made to determine whether or not the target is
hit. The attacker rolls a “To Hit” Roll, 1d20 + Attack Bonus (Melee Attack Bonus for melee
attacks and Ranged Attack Bonus for Ranged Attacks) and compares it to the Armor
Class of the Target. If the sum of the Attacker’s To Hit Roll is equal to or greater than the
target’s Armor Class, they are hit, and take damage determined by weapon and fire type
(fire type only affects firearms). If a 20 is rolled on the d20 when making a To Hit roll, the
attack automatically hits, and damage inflicted is multiplied by 2.
MICROGRAVITY COMBAT
Combat in Microgravity is much different than combat in gravity. Unless wearing Mag
Boots and clinging to a magnetic surface, in Microgravity Combat, recoil from Firearms
adds to Spin. Spin is a value representing the control a Character has over their
movement in Microgravity. Spin starts at 0, using a pistol increases it by 1, using a rifle
or shotgun increases it by 2, and using full-auto fire increases it by 3. Spin is subtracted
from all To-Hit Rolls and Skill Checks. Characters can spend a Major Action stabilizing
themselves to remove a point of Spin. Energy Weapons have no recoil, and thus do not
add Spin when used.

COVER
If a Character moves behind Cover, they may receive Armor Class Bonuses, provided the
Cover is sturdy enough to stop bullets. Objects that cover more than ½ the body provide
a +2 to AC, and objects that cover more than ¾ of the body provide a +4.

SHOTGUNS
Shotguns have a +2 to Hit and Damage on targets within 3m, and a -2 To Hit and
Damage beyond that.

SAVING THROWS
Saving Throws are made to negate or reduce the danger posed by a non-standard
effect. Saving Throws are made by rolling 1d20 + (½ Level) + Stat Modifier, if the result is
equal to or greater than the Difficulty set by the GM (15 standard, 20 difficult, 25 near
impossible).

ENDING COMBAT
Combat ends when only allied participants remain undefeated, or all enemy
participants surrender or flee.
SPACE
As most LaGrange adventures will take place many millions of miles away from Earth,
this section details rules for operating, travelling and fighting in space.

GRAVITY
Everything in the universe with mass produces a gravitational pull, while the pull of
most objects is negligible, larger objects can emit significant gravity. Gravity is
measured in G, 1G is equivalent to Earth gravity, while 0.5G would be equivalent to half
of Earth’s Gravity. Gravity takes objects with Mass and gives them Weight, the pull of
the Gravity affects how much an object weighs, for example an object that weighed 5
lbs on Earth would weigh only 0.8 lbs on the Moon! When gravity is less than 0.05G, it is
considered Microgravity, where objects appear to be essentially weightless and can
float around easily. In space, there are two ways to “simulate” gravity, Spin and Thrust.
Large, spinning centrifuges can simulate gravitational pull to their inner wall, the larger
the centrifuge and faster the spin, the stronger the pull, however due to the resources
required to construct properly sized centrifuges, most space stations remain in
Microgravity. While a spacecraft is actively accelerating or thrusting in one direction,
objects are pulled in the opposite direction, similar to gravity, the G of acceleration is
equivalent to the G of pull.

Carrying Capacity and Movement speed are doubled in 0.5G or less, and halved in 1.3G
or greater. It takes 24 hours to adapt to Spin Gravity or Microgravity for the first time,
and during that time, Characters rolls are penalized by 2 due to nausea and
disorientation.

ATMOSPHERE AND VACUUM

Humans require an Oxygen-rich atmosphere, and a very specific atmospheric pressure.
Spacecraft are filled with proper atmosphere and pressure, however, if there is a breach
in the pressure seal (the hull is punctured, airlock blown), the area will lose atmosphere
after 1d6 rounds. Spacecraft are divided up into areas by bulkheads, which will seal off
depressurized areas to prevent the entire craft from becoming depressurized.

Outside of a spacecraft or planetary atmosphere is considered vacuum. Exposure to

vacuum deals 1d8 damage per round. In addition, if in the inner system (before the belt)
every round of exposure after the third, a Character must make a Difficulty 15 Strength
Saving Throw or develop a Radiation complication. Vacuum can be traversed safely
with a Vacc Suit, which can shield against radiation and maintain proper temperature
and atmosphere for 6 hours.

RADIATION
Thanks to advanced radiation shielding technology, Radiation is rarely a problem,
however, if exposed to high amounts of Radiation (reactor meltdown, hull puncture), all
Characters must make a Difficulty 14 Strength Saving Throw or develop a Radiation
Complication from the table below. Radiation Complications manifest after 2d6 hours.

d4 ROLL RADIATION COMPLICATION

1 1d6 Damage from skin burns.

2 Nausea for 1d4 days.

3 Cancer. -1 Strength per year.

4 Terminal Cancer. -1 Strength per month.

ORBIT
Spacecrafts may position themselves into Orbit. There are two types of Orbit, Closed
and Open Orbits. Closed Orbits mean that the Orbiting Object will continue to Orbit the
body. Open Orbits occur when the Escape Velocity of a body is reached, and are shaped
like a parabola, rather than continue to revolve around the body, the Object completes
one Parabolic Orbit and then escapes.
There are four tiers of orbit, Geosynchronous, Low, Medium and High. These orbits vary
only in their distance from the planet.

There are two directions of orbit, Prograde and Retrograde. Prograde means that an
object is orbiting in the direction of the spin of the body. Retrograde means that the
object is orbiting in the opposite direction. Most orbiting objects orbit in
Prograde.Spacecraft can freely change orbit tiers, but it costs 1 point of Fuel to reverse
Orbit Direction and 1 point of Fuel to escape from a body (2 to escape from a gas giant).

DISTANCES
While objects in space are always moving, below is a static distance table meant to
simplify gameplay. Distances are given in JOTUNs.

COMMUNICATIONS
Communications between spacecraft are done using lasers or radio. It takes about 100
seconds for Comm signals to cross a JOTUN. There are two types of messages that can
be sent, open and closed. Open messages can be picked up by anyone within a JOTUN
while closed messages can only be picked up by the intended target (intercepting and
decrypting takes a Difficulty 20 Computer Check).
DETECTION AND STEALTH
All Ships emit signals that allow any craft within a JOTUN to easily detect them and
their position. These signals can be suppressed, but if a Ship is in an active burn, it is
still detectable by drive signature. In order to stay undetected, the radiators must be
disabled, transmissions must be off and the ship must not be accelerating,
communications cannot be sent while in stealth. Detecting a stealthed ship requires a
Difficulty 20 Computer Check. A ship cannot stay in stealth for more than 6 hours at a
time due to heat build up.

SPACE TRAVEL
Space Travel is an integral part of LaGrange, and vehicles used to traverse space are
generally referred to herein as “spaceships” or “spacecraft”. Spacecraft are expensive
and difficult to maintain, and most are owned by Corporations or Governments.

There are 3 Types of Propulsion System commonly used in Space:

ALFHEIM DRIVE: Based on Xenon Ion propulsion, the ALFHEIM Drive is found
most commonly on orbital transfer vehicles or civilian spacecraft. Speeds 0.1-0.3.
JOTUNHEIM DRIVE: Based on Nuclear Pulse propulsion, the JOTUNHEIM Drive is
found on long-distance cargo/passenger haulers and military spacecraft. Speeds
0.4-0.7.
NIDAVELLIR DRIVE: Based on Antimatter-Catalyzed Fusion propulsion, the
NIDAVELLIR Drive is the most advanced propulsion system in existence. The
NIDAVELLIR Drive is relatively new, and can only be found on cutting edge military
grade spacecraft. Speeds 0.8-1.5.

In Space, distance is measured using JOTUNs. One JOTUN is about 20 million miles
across, or ⅕ of an AU. A Ship can traverse 1 JOTUN per day per point of speed (e.g. a
ship moving at 1 speed traverses 1 JOTUN per day).
In game, Spacecraft have 6 values that represent their capabilities:
● ACCEL: Determines how much Speed is gained from a burn.
● FUEL USE: Determines how many points of fuel are used per burn.
● FUEL CAPACITY: Determines how much Fuel the ship can store.
● MASS: Determines how much cargo the ship can store.
● LIFE SUPPORT: Determines how many weeks a Ship can support life for its
maximum crew.
● CREW: Determines the minimum and maximum crew a ship can hold.
● ARMOR CLASS: Determines how protected the Ship is from damage.
● HIT POINTS: Determines how much damage a Ship can receive before being
destroyed.

When a Ship breaks orbit and wishes to traverse the void, a Burn or Acceleration must
be made. Burns last 6 hours, and during that time, faux-gravity is generated on the Ship
equivalent to the Accel of the Ship in G. Burns increase the Speed of a Ship by 1 per
point of Accel, and use an amount of Fuel determined by Fuel Cost. Burns must also be
made to decelerate and change direction.

In order to Pilot a Ship, a Character must jack-in to the ship using their LOOM
Neurosystem implant. This allows them to interface with the Ship’s computational
components and control the ship as if it was an extension of their body. Most Ships are
controlled by an on-board AI that automates most tasks. If a Pilot wishes to fly the ship
without the AI system enabled, they receive a -2 to all Piloting Checks.

Each point of Mass can store 10 tons of Cargo.

A point of ALFHEIM Fuel costs 500 Credits. Xenon is used as ALFHEIM Fuel.

A point of JOTUNHEIM Fuel costs 1000 Credits. Deuterium and Helium-3 are used as
JOTUNHEIM Fuel.
A point of NIDAVELLIR Fuel costs 10000 Credits. Deuterium, Helium-3 and Antimatter
are used as NIDAVELLIR Fuel.

Replenishing life support costs 100 * (Maximum Crew * Life Support)

SPACE COMBAT
Space Combat is lethal and expensive, and should only be used as a last resort. Space
combat can only be conducted between ships within the same JOTUN. There are two
types of space combat, Orbital and Deep Space. A round in Space Combat is equivalent
to about 20 minutes of in-universe time, though it may vary. Ship combat requires two
crew members, a Pilot (who chooses maneuvers and orbital transfers) and a Gunner
(who controls the weapons).

ORBITAL COMBAT
Combat between Ships in Orbit is more complex than in Deep Space. In Orbital Combat,
there are four tiers of Orbit, Geosynchronous, Low, Medium and High. Orbital Combat
can only be conducted by ships on the same tier of Orbit. If a Ship is at
Geosynchronous Orbit, they can spend a point of fuel to land on a Terrestrial planet, if
a Ship is at High Orbit, they can spend a point of fuel to change to an open orbit and
escape (if the other ship does the same, switch to deep space combat). Each round of
Orbital Combat, on their Turn a Pilot can make an Orbital Change, take a Maneuver, and
Attack, in that order.

DEEP SPACE COMBAT

In Deep Space Combat, combat can be conducted within the same JOTUN. In Deep
Space, there are two distances, Close and Long. Both Ships start at Long Range distance
from one another. In Deep Space Combat, on their Turn, a Pilot can take a Maneuver and
Attack, in that order. In Deep Space Combat, Drive Type matters much more, so when
fighting a Ship of a higher Drive Type, a Ship cannot pursue the ship if it tries to flee,
attempt to flee, or use the change distance maneuver.
COMBAT PROCEDURE
Entering Space Combat consumes a point of fuel due to the maneuvering involved.

Every ship involved in a Space Combat rolls initiative at the beginning of each round to
determine who acts first, to determine Initiative in space, make a Piloting Check.
Highest rollers on Initiative act first, lowest rollers last. When all Ships have acted, the
round restarts. Combat ends when all ships surrender or combative ships are destroyed.

Maneuvers are an important part of Space Combat, and the following Maneuvers can be
taken:
● CHANGE DISTANCE: Only usable in Deep Space combat, changes ship distance
from long to close or vice versa.
● EVASIVE MANEUVERS: +2 to Ship AC.
● FLEE: One ship attempts to flee, both Pilots roll Piloting Checks, whoever rolls
higher is successful, if the fleeing ship gets three successes, they escape and
combat ends, if the pursuing ship gets three successes, both success counters
are set back to 0.

In Combat, on the attack phase, every weapons system installed into a ship can attack
once. Close Range weapons cannot attack at Long Range, but Long Range weapons may
attack at Close Range. To make an attack roll, the Gunner must make a Technology
Check and compare it to the Armor Class of the target. If the roll is equal to or greater
than the AC, the ship takes the amount of damage listed under the weapon system, and
its HP is reduced by that amount. At 0 HP, a ship is disabled, at -10, it is destroyed.

Repairing a Ship costs 1/100 Ship Cost per point of HP repaired, and takes a day per
point.
SPACECRAFT
While most Spacecraft are owned by Corporations or Governments, a few are owned by
small companies or individual groups. According to Stellar Consortium law, any
non-crewed ship recovered in interplanetary space becomes the property of the crew
that recovered it, this is referred to as salvage.

AUGMENTATIONS
Due to advancements in biotechnology and genetic engineering, cybernetic and
biological augmentations have become relatively common. Augmentations can be
installed at Cybersurgeons (often referred to as Chop-Docs), and each installed
Augmentation is linked to a person’s ID Chip so they remain easy to detect. If a person
wishes to get an illegal augmentation or an augmentation that they don’t want linked
to their ID, they may visit a Black Surgeon, a back-alley illegal Cybersurgeon.

Each Augmentation takes up a Slot in a part of the User’s body, each part of the body
has a certain amount of Slots. LOOM Neurosystem and ID Chip Augmentations do not
consume an Augmentation Slot.
HEAD: 3 Augmentation Slots
EYES: 1 Augmentation Slot
BODY: 2 Augmentation Slots
PER ARM: 1 Augmentation Slot
PER LEG: 1 Augmentation Slot

CYBERSPACE
The Weave is a massive interplanetary Augmented Reality communications network,
most people connect to The Weave using the LOOM Neurosystem implant, though it is
possible to connect with electrodes placed onto the temple and an external computer.
The Weave is fully immersive, and can replicate any sensation relatively accurately, The
Weave renders itself semi-transparently over the User’s view of the real world. The
Weave displays placed decorations, ads, and windows around The User, and allows
real-time internet searching, usage of apps downloaded onto the User’s LOOM, and
interaction with an AI assistant, thanks to advanced neural integration, the Weave can
be interacted with without peripherals, being controlled entirely by Neural Command.

The Weave uses quantum communication networks, however these do not

communicate faster than light. Files and Weavesites can only be accessed if they are
hosted on the same body or a close orbital object (for example, the Moons of Jupiter
share one Weave, and Luna connects to the Earth Weave). Files can be downloaded from
other Weaves or transmitted Weave-to-Weave at lightspeed, but this can take a while.

The Weave was designed by the Hieroglyph corporation, and is tightly policed by their
OVERSEER Division. When Users connect to a Cyberspace System without
authorization, OVERSEER is alerted after a certain number of rounds, when Trace hits 0,
OVERSEER traces the location of the criminal User, severs their Weave connection
forcibly, and alerts local law enforcement to their location.

When a warrant has been placed for someone’s arrest, if the law enforcement agency
knows their Weave Signature, a wanted sign is displayed over their head in the Weave. It
takes a Difficulty 15 Hacking Check to hide the sign (and requires a Deck Augmentation).

Cyberspace Systems are local networks of meshed devices, all connected to a central
management hub. To simplify use and access, Cyberspace Systems render as their own
“virtual worlds”. Cyberspace Systems are mostly isolated, and require a User to be
within 6m of a networked device in order to connect. Cyberspace Systems are divided
into Nodes, each Node represents a connected device, and holds at least one
connection to another Node. There is always a System Core Node that represents the
central controlling computer of the System, in the System Core, files are stored, and can
be read after penetrating the ICE. Unauthorized access to Nodes is prevented by ICE
(Intrusion Countermeasures) Software that must be deactivated before accessing the
Node.

In order to connect to a Cyberspace System without authorization, a User must have an

Integrated Deck Augmentation. While connected to a Cyberspace System, a User can
move but cannot do anything else. When connecting to a Cyberspace System, Users
connect and begin at the Node of the nearest networked device. After connecting to a
Cyberspace System, Users must roll 3d6 to determine Trace, each round spent in the
System reduces Trace by 1. In a round, a User may, in any order:
● Move to an adjacent Node.
● Read or Save an Accessible File to local memory.
● Manipulate a device connected to an accessible Node.
● Attempt a Decryption attempt on an ICE-protected Node.
Decrypting a Node’s ICE is done by rolling a Hacking Check, modified by your Integrated
Deck’s Processing, if successful, the ICE is disabled, if unsuccessful, the ICE runs a
backlash program, inflicting a negative effect on the User.

Decryption Difficulty is determined by the grade of System the User is trying to

infiltrate:
PERSONAL SYSTEMS: Difficulty 12
LOW-GRADE CORPORATE SYSTEMS: Difficulty 15
CORPORATE SYSTEMS: Difficulty 20
HIGH GRADE CORPORATE/GOVERNMENT SYSTEMS: Difficulty 25

There are 4 types of ICE, each with different backlashes.

WHITE ICE: Primitive protection. No backlash.
GRAY ICE: Basic protection. Reduces Trace by 1d4.
BLUE ICE: Moderate protection. Reduces Trace by 1d6.
RED ICE: Advanced protection. Reduces Trace to 0 instantly.
BLACK ICE: Illegal protection, inflicts 2d6 damage on the intruder.

Backlash can be negated by spending a point of Firewall. 1 Point of Firewall regenerates

after 4 hours.

Disconnecting from a System can only be done safely on the Node which the User
entered from, disconnecting from a different Node causes biofeedback, dealing 1d4
damage to the User.
TRANSHUMAN TECH
Though Augmentations are relatively commonplace, some people have taken the
pursuit of Transhumanism even further than simply modifying their body. This chapter
details the more extreme variations of Transhuman technology that can be found in
the LaGrange world, but all technologies in this chapter should be considered optional.

FULL BODY CYBORGS

Full Body Conversions are rare, but are powerful, and are found in many military and
mining operations. Full Body Cyborg Conversion costs 2 million, and increases HP to 70,
AC to 18, Strength to 20, and removes all pre-existing augmentations, replacing them
with the LOOM Neurosystem, Brainbox, Pain Editor, Smart Eyes, Neurachem,
Nanosurgeons, Survival Adaptations and Hydraulic Rams.

UPLOADING
Uploading oneself into The Weave is expensive, costing 1 million, once uploaded into
the Weave, the physical form of a Character dies, and the person can never leave the
Weave again. Uploading grants a +4 to Hacking Checks and allows the uploaded person
to hack as if they had a Tier 3 Integrated Deck implant. Uploaded people can
temporarily download into linked robot bodies.

RESLEEVING
Using a Brainbox implant, consciousness can be stored as quantum data that can be
uploaded into brains, this data is designed to download into a new organic body, it
cannot be run on a computer. New bodies must be cloned versions of the original
(which is expensive and takes decades, because the clone must age to maturity), which
cost 300000 Credits. Trying to download into a foreign body causes conflicts in brain
structures, and results in the death of the body, and is considered murder. Making
several copies of brainbox data can be done, but costs 100000 and is highly illegal.
