Rule Information

Rule Notes: Computer Programming won't likely often be rolled; however, it can form the backbone of a PC's off-camera career.
Common Modifiers: Computer Operation is typically rolled at 0, but should be freely modified for the difficulty of the task. Coding 'Hello World' is simple enough for a +2; coding your own operating system is more like a -3.
Counterskills: None relevant.
