Team Members

You get a team member permanently assigned to you at rank 3, with additional members added at ranks 5 and 9 for a total of three members in the end.

Team members don’t gain I.P. and thus can’t increase their skills, attributes, or abilities. They’re controlled by the GM and their dependability is based on their Loyalty score. The team member isn’t trained to use equipment, including armor, that’s very different from what’s given in the rules below.

You may choose your team member from any of the stat blocks listed here, chosen when they’re hired. You may fire them if you wish to have a different kind of team member, but hiring new members has drawbacks. If you need to hire a new member of your team besides when you gain them at ranks 3, 5, and 9; you must pay €$200 to HR (in bribes) to get the candidate you want. They start at a Loyalty of 1 with the stat block for their type of team member. This applies if you fired a previous member, they were killed in action, left due to disloyalty, or anyting else.

Loyalty

Between sessions, a team member’s Loyalty score is capped at 10, but there’s no limit during the session. If the score ever drops to 0 or lower, they will actively attempt to betray you to your enemies or sabotage your plans. If given the chance, they’ll complain to HR or quit if they can’t get transferred. When you ask a member of your team to do anything outside of very ordinary duties, the GM rolls 1d6. The result must be equal or lower than their Loyalty score or they will do their best to avoid the task, including willfully failing at it. The GM may add to the result of the dice for something exceptional or lower the result for milder requests.

Loyalty changes depending on an Exec’s actions.

Your Team

Team members assigned to you as part of your promotion to Role rank 3, 5, and 9 start with a Loyalty of 4. You may choose from any of the statblocks given here, or define your own together with the GM.

Primary Stats

When a new member is hired, you may choose to reallicate their primary stats. (COOL, INT, TECH, RFLX, and BODY). They must still use a spread of 3, 4, 4, 5, and 7. Their skill set and company issued gear depend on what job they were hired to fill.

Custom Team Role

Optionally, the GM may create any form of teammate. They skills should add up to 35 ranks (with 1 rank being able to increase two components by one instead of a skill and a wired component). Skills are capped at 6 for teammates. If they have a Role ability, it is capped at 2 and costs twice per level compared to a skill. Cyberware and gear combined should have a combined cost between €$3000 and €$3500, with no individual item being more than €$500 (expensive). The gear should include at least one weapon and plenty of ammunition. It should also include at least a light armorjack (SP 11).
