Common Skills | Special Skills | Equipment

Some Troopers or Hacking Devices have pieces of Equipment which provide extra protection against Comms Attacks. These defenses are codified in the Firewall rule, which applies a series of MODs to hinder the Attack and enhance the target's protection.

Obligatory

EFFECTS

Any enemy that declares a Comms Attack against a Trooper benefitting from a Firewall must apply a negative MOD to his WIP Attribute, as indicated between brackets: Firewall (-3), Firewall (-6)...
A Trooper benefiting from a Firewall also applies a MOD of +3 to their Saving Rolls (SR) against Comms Attacks.
Troopers can only benefit from one Firewall at a time. If a Trooper can benefit from more than one Firewall, their player will decide which one to apply.

Sibylla's Advice

The Firewall in a Comms Attack is the equivalent of Cover in a BS Attack, it hinders the Attack and aids the target’s Saving Roll.

Although the MOD to the Attack varies (-3, -6…), the MOD to the Saving Roll is always fixed (+3), unless a specific rule indicates otherwise.
