Cities Without Number Hacker builds

The Hacker edge is the cheapest route into the hacking subsystem: it grants a cranial jack, a starting deck and a set of program elements the character would otherwise have to buy. What it does not grant is the Program skill rank that makes the deck worth carrying, so the builds worth studying are the ones that also spend background and focus picks in that direction. Note the two counter conventions a deck runs on — Access and Shielding are pools you spend down, Memory and CPU are capacities you fill.

Every build here opens in the character builder as a starting point. Forking carries the mechanics — attributes, class, foci, skills — and never the original player's name, portrait or notes.
