The one time i put a decker together to add it up it cost something
like that (SR2 rules, i don't know how the prices changed in VR2 as i
havn't bothered doing the maths, though i now contemplate the idea of
folks actually doing proper matrix runs more than once per porever)
decent rating programs really cost as well.


On the physad i had a nasty idea involving +1D6 initative +6 dice
stealth and the Ruthymer polymers out of Shadowtech. Phymage for a
silence spell would help as would 'traceless walk' power. The
physmage option also allows for casting +3D6 initative spells (yuck
beware munchkins here) and levitation.

I made a munchkin decker/assasin character that didn't have a deck for the
first 6 mo of actual playing time. His objective was to either make enough
nuyen to build the dreammachine or to geek a hot decker and swipe his
(replacing persona chips, etc). That way I had a sam with a datajack who
could deck if the need arose.
