If the character has an astral presence, then he will be blocked by a ward.
Wards block, and attack, _anything_ that has an astral presence which
attempts to pass through them. However, taking a squiz at the up and coming
rules from a future SR product, we see that what would happen is that the
ward would get a single attack on the astral presence, and then because it
was connected to a physical presense that was moving, the astral presence
would then pass through the ward. Assuming, of course, that the single
attack didn't kill the astral presence. From this point alone it seems to me
that only a moron or a munchkin would undergo cybermancy.
