Another Question, this time regarding Technomancer and living persona.

The living persona has an Initiative rank of
Logic + Intuition and Initiative Dice of 1D6 plus
whatever adjustments from their current Matrix
mode. Use their Stun Condition Monitor in place
of a Matrix Condition Monitor. Their Matrix
Condition Monitor is (Logic / 2, rounded up) + 8.

p. 189, The Living Persona,
paragraph 2
Adjust the opening of the second paragraph as
follows:
The living persona has an Initiative rank of
Logic + Intuition and Initiative Dice of 1D6 plus
whatever adjustments from their current Matrix
mode. Use their Stun Condition Monitor in place
of a Matrix Condition Monitor.

It feels like the sentence with the matrix condition monitor should be deleted, but that's not RAW in the errata. Furthermore the Technomancer Archtype has choosen the hardening quality which he should not need if there is no Matrix Condition Monitor for him.

The Technomancer Archetype has at least two Complex Forms that dont exist. Neither "Skinlink" nor "Living Network"  are in the book as Complex Forms. But they exist as "Echoes"(p.195 CRB) you can take when Submerging.

So since the Archetype was designed as "Living Network" he could be the Groups PAN and use the "Hardening" quality to protect Devices in the Groups PAN from Matrix Damage.

Without "Living Network" Technomancers are only semi-able to protect the Group from Matrix Attacks. But atm Submerging is not allowed at char gen.

Wait. Why is his matrix initiative logic + intuition?
It should be dataprocessing + intuition  ( while dataprocessing is based of his logic, it can be modified by his resonance score, which is new in 6th ed). And stuff like emulate program or the increase dataprocessing complex form, should also be able to grant him initiative.
Otherwise he would have to rely on his mage buddy with increase logic only
