playing any SR at all, and as you might expect I've probably bitten off more
than I can chew. One of my players asked me about his *next* character (he's
got a different character now, but it's always good to have a backup to hop
back in the game with), which was a technomancer rigger with a vehicle focus
rather than drones. Essentially, a getaway driver who happens to be a
technomancer. Now, SR4 says quite clearly on page 238 that hackers and
technomancers can both rig. Great. But rigging and other Matrix characters
are my weakest area of expertise (I always played mages or faces) so I
wanted to check a couple of things with everyone.
-- The only unique piece of equipment a rigger really needs is a Vehicle
Control Rig, right? And without it he can't do much with vehicles or drones?
-- How does the wireless world of 2070 affect rigging? The VCR basically
broadcasts a radio control signal for drones, which is exactly what wireless
access points do.
-- Just to head off the question before my players think it up -- how could
a rigger use or abuse sprites?
Thanks for the help!
