Node Types (d25)

d25	What you find	desc	Subject	Type	Modifier
1	Firewall	Digital barriers that protect systems from unauthorized access. Hackers must find weaknesses or bypass firewalls to gain entry.	Barrier	Data	0
2	Black ICE	Dangerous and lethal security programs that can harm the hacker's virtual persona. (Failed skill check applies Stun verb to Hacker. High-Security locations will use the Kill verb)	Barrier	Data	1
3	Security Alert	Any unscheduled activity in the Node is noticed. Hackers has two rounds to stop Alert the Network action from Node.	Program	Program	0
4	Trace Programs	Any unscheduled activity in the Node is noticed. Hackers has two rounds to stop Program from pinpointing where the Hacker first entered the system.	Program	Program	0
5	Operations Datafiles	Node contains data and monitoring of staff in building. This can be anything from HR Records, Personnel Files, and Live Location monitoring.	Datafile	Data	0
6	Contain and Isolate	The Node is a trap. The Hacker has two rounds to stop the Node from severing its connections to other nodes. If not stopped after two rounds, the Hacker is unable to advance or return to past nodes. The Hacker will need to jack out and breach again if they want to keeping hacking the system	Program	Program	-1
7	Demon Node	Node always has one Demon in addition to any other Avatars rolled for this Node	Avatar	Avatar	0
8	Data Corruption	Corrupted Datafile are stored here. Hacker can attempt to steal the datafiles, but won't know what the data contains until after they have jacked out and had time to repair the data.	Datafile	Data	0
9	Decoy Data	Datafiles on Node contain false or misleading information designed to divert the Hacker's attention.	Datafile	Data	0
10	Biometric Locks	Datafiles on Node contain high-value information, but can only be aced by biometric data (e.g., fingerprints, retinal scans) at Device near server. Hacker learns location of this Device and Service	Datafile	Data	0
11	Physical Access Requirements	Datafiles on Node contain high-value information, but can only be aced by physical access to specific Devices. Hacker learns location of this Device.	Datafile	Data	0
12	Malware	Infected systems or files that can harm the Hacker's digital tools or Avatar. If Hacker fail skill check, the have a -1 or -2 modifier unplanned to them for the rest of the run. Hacker will need to jack out and access again to removed negative effect.	Program	Program	-1
13	Legacy Network	Slow network connections that make it difficult to operate efficiently. All Avatar and Demons have -2 to skill checks. Raise The Alarms actions takes 4 turns instead of 2. Hacker can use Unluck, Sense, or Glitch, or Analyze verb to remove their negative modifier. Enemies cannot remove their modifiers.	Server	Device	-2
14	Lack of Information	Limited or incomplete information about Node. Whatever used to be here has left no discernable trace of what it once was.	Barrier	Data	0
15	Lack of Information	Limited or incomplete information about Node. Whatever used to be here has left no discernable trace of what it once was.	Barrier	Data	0
