Then it would fool a living thing, but not an electronic one.

It's not a question of physical or mana.  I'm asking if invisibility fools thermal sensing or if it's just normal light-bouncing vision.

[Mirikon]

Then yes. But it would not defeat the guy next to him, with thermographic goggles or cybereyes. Or the surveillance camera in the hall. You need the Physical version of the spell for that. And even the physical version fails against someone with ultrasound.

[Aryeonos]

The only thing that trumps ultrasound, or Ultrawideband would be the Signature Masking mod for vehicles and drones, or a custom spell.

Also the Chaff spell, but that just scrambles sensors in general.

Ok, thanks for clearing that up. I assumed it did, but then I read about the thermo sense organ.  It can sense the heat from invisible people.  I guess the key is that it isn't an eye, so the magic doesn't fool it somehow.

[Sichr]

Cybereyes are fooled the same way as natural senses. being paid by essence, are part of objects aura and mana spells are affecting them laso. But this is discussion for different thread.

[Aryeonos]

Thermographic vision doesn't see heat, it sees infra-red radiation. A thermosense organ uses pits, which are similar to ear drums. But they use a differential in heat pressure to detect hot and cold at a distance.

Do I need an agent for my commlink?  If I get one, do I need to buy programs for him to run or does he just use what I already have?

[Aryeonos]

the agent can be loaded with any programs you own, or run them directly from your commlink while it resides on that node. Though, unless you're a hacker, or just want an agent to do browsing for you, they are unreasonably expensive for most runners who wouldn't have much of a need for them.

If we need hacker gear latter on, we can contact the White Resistance.

[Mirikon]

Um, I actually have two agents for my character (and I'll have a third when I can afford some IC).

[Aryeonos]

Are you the teams electronic support...?

I don't recall seeing your sheet.

My full body cyborg character actually has a couple IC, and a Battle Buddy Basic. But, y'know, when you hijack a blimp and kidnap a UCAS kernel you tend to be a little more paranoid.

He's the AI jumped-in-the-sexbot samurai.  He's also the one with a name that always makes me think he's a girl.

Should be the final update... plus I forgot to attach the zip last time.

Changes:
switched from spatial recognizer to sound link r3
added an agent r3 to commlink
removed FTL program package, added pro user suite
removed Decrypt/Encrypt 5 suite, added Decrypt 3 and Encrypt 6 individually
dropped thermographic vision, added celerity

[Aryeonos]

There ya go, I had forgotten that celerity was only 10 Karma.

Posted it way back on page 6 or so. And yes, I'm an AI Street Samurai. Funny thing about being a street samurai in a drone is that you have plenty of nuyen left over for programs and the like. Later on I may get more drones, as well as some IC, but for the moment I just have a repair drone, a bike, and my 'companion' anthroform drone turned combat drone. In my normal 'work' clothes, I have 19B/19I Armor. At some point, I'd like to steal one of those Otomo drones, and trick it out.
