Edge Dice it is not the turn of the character spending them.

(Or, ‘Okay, I get three d8 of these
things. What the hell do they do?’)
‘I’m a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work,
the more I have of it.’
- Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826)
Only one die can be spent in any given round, but
certain talent tree abilities or class features may modify or
relax this rule. Such exceptions are stated in the feature or
ability in question. Player Characters and certain Games
Master controlled Non-Player Characters may accrue and
spend Edge Dice; other characters and constructs (most
robots, computer entities, and the Unclassed) may not.

 They had not known him long, but Jeht was rapidly becoming one of Rip and Hellcat’s favourite people. They liked
him because he did not talk much. They liked him because he did not take up much space. They liked him because he was
light on their food budget. They really liked him because he made his own ammunition and never leeched off the weapons
locker. But what they loved him for was the way he never flinched at putting himself between them and pain.

Today was a good example of that last one, and a reminder to Rip why the man in black was definitely on his Christmas
card list. They were out on assignment, doing work for the Mahyer’s Foundation that Hellcat hated but paid the bills.
There was no nice way to put it; they were here to kill someone. At least Rip could say the target was no saint. He was
what his deep south great grandmother would call, ‘someone who needed a good killin’.’

Scon Whitmere was a viral pathologist who worked for Greenstar. His latest ‘present’ from that ecoterrorism syndicate
was the Arbour Strain, a lovely disease that only harmed human beings. Its first test was the logging city of Anchorholme
in Sweden, a ghost town now. Scon was trying to bring his deadly creation stateside now, and if it got out, the East
Edge Dice

Coast would be one big graveyard. So no, this job did not prick Rip’s conscience much. He hated wetwork on general
principles, but this slime’s demise would not make him lose any sleep.

Of course, getting to Whitmere had been quite the challenge. For an outfit ostensibly out to save the planet, Greenstar
had some very heavy hitters in their bodyguard core. Rip liked to rate his work in terms of ammunition and this day was
rapidly turning into a two arsenal job. He was already down so many rockets and grenades that the money they were
getting paid for taking out Whitmere was getting thinner by the salvo. He normally preferred drive-bys and high calibre
cocktails for this kind of thing, but the virologist had more ice around him than a bloodball player’s knee after three
quarters.

With Hellcat four blocks away on sniper detail and him here playing ordinance monkey, the home team was making
progress. The bodyguards were all down for the count now except for one- a tin-plated terror named Cortez. Scon was
in a full-shielded limo behind the cybered monster, but Rip was out of salvo rounds. He intended to get over there and
slap a mud-pack to the car’s fuel cell, but Cortez would tear him apart with his bare hands. That was where Jeht came in
handy.

In a whirl of trenchcoat leather and shimmering steel, the combat savant was on the massive brawler. Rip watched from
cover while the battle played out. He knew Cat was up on her rooftop doing the same through a night scope, but he also
knew things were moving too fast for her to get a good shot. Besides, the dents in Cortez’ skull dome were a testament
to just how effective her rifle was not. It was always a pleasure to watch Jeht work and as metal limbs flew off the Cuban
bruiser surrounded by washes of blood and hydraulic fluid, Rip almost felt like he needed a smoke.

Unfortunately, there was no time. While they had all been caught up by the sword fight, Whitmere was making a break
for it. He was almost to the doors of a passing shieldwagon. If he made it to that second car, the bastard was as good as
gone. The doctor was wearing a aegis coat, more than thick enough to shrug off what he was carrying and Hellcat was
obviously still watching Jeht take Cortez apart. The son of a cyberbitch was going to get away!

With a sudden pivot, Jeht kicked what was left of Cortez to the street and hefted one of his blades into a throwing stance.
‘No fraggin’ way…,’ Rip muttered in stunned disbelief. The distance from Jeht to the retreating Whitmere had to be
200 feet or so. ‘No fraggin’ way.’ The black-clad badass did not pause more than a heartbeat before letting fly with the
vibrating sword. It sang through the air, shattered one of the limo’s windows, came out the other side in a shower of
ballistic glass, and slammed into Whitmere with the force of a howitzer round. Only its tsuba kept it from tearing straight
through the instacorpse.

Two sniper shells from high overhead took out the people who darted out of the shieldwagon to try and snatch up the
doctor’s fallen briefcase. The car spun out, leaving the virus, two bleeding goons, and an exceedingly dead Whitmere in
the dirt. Rip had never seen anything like that in his life. He did not know whether to go hug the big man or run away in
fear. He settled for sitting on his ass and lighting up a cig. What a night…

 o There is one catch to the above; an attack
roll still has to be made and if the result
is a natural one, it misses as normal. A
character of any level can choose to
spend an additional Edge Die to cancel
the need to make this attack roll, but
that decision must be made before the
roll. (This means the 12th level character
could spend four Edge Dice and not have
to make the attack roll instead of saving
the extra die and gambling on not rolling
a natural one if he prefers.)
> Any Edge Dice spent for an
edge bonus that are still in effect
when this is done continue to
apply, so the character in the
above example would get to
factor in the edge bonus (if any)
for that round into his automatic
critical attack.
> Edge Dice cannot

attack roll hit.
the character needs
to hit with an attack
and risks making the
attack roll normally,
offensive Edge Dice
can only make it
critical and or inflict
maximum damage
after it successfully
hits on its own merit.
> Edge Dice as a Defensive Reaction: A Cybernet
character is acutely aware that not getting hit the
best defence of all, so Edge Dice can be a target’s
best friend when bullets are flying. A character
can spend an Edge Die to raise his Defence
Value by the rolled amount for the duration of
the current combat, one full minute, or until he
uses edge for any other purpose- whichever comes
first. In addition, edge can be spent to negate edge
used as an offensive action. One Edge Die spent
in this form of defence can negate an offensive
Edge Die if its roll is higher than the latter. This
is the only time when offensive or defensive Edge
Dice are rolled. Any number of defensive Edge
Dice can be spent and rolled, but the total amount
must exceed the value of the offensive die (or
dice) spent on the attack.
o Edge Dice cannot be spent to negate
a natural 20, but they can be spent to
prevent critical hits. One Edge Die spent
in this way keeps the opponent from
rolling to see if his attack would
confirm as a critical hit. This
can only be done with normal attack
rolls; if the opponent used offensive
edge to make an attack roll hit, only
defensive expenditure of edge can block
the attack.
> Only one Edge Die can
be rolled as a bonus to the
character’s Defence Value, but
additional defensive uses of
edge do not negate this bonus
the way spending edge for
other purposes does as listed
Edge Dice
above. An Edge Die can be
spent immediately after the
first one ‘wears off’ if desired;
this leaves no gap in the edge
protection, though the second
value might be lower.
> Edge Dice for Success: Edge Dice can be used to
ensure that a skill check, ability check, or saving
If throw succeeds. This expenditure must be made
at the time of the check and supersede the need for
a d20 roll. The Edge Die is immediately rolled
and the result subtracted from 6. The number of
the Edge Die result is subtracted from is 12 if the
check could not normally succeed. That value
(or 1, whichever is higher) is subtracted from
the statistic related to the check as temporary
damage, but the check succeeds automatically.
Ability points lost to this damage return at a rate
of one per hour. Edge Dice spent in this way do
not cause non-lethal damage as listed below.
o For example, Hellcat has to run a
programming patch between her system
and the main vault door of the Takahima
Corporation’s downtown branch. This
is a monster of a skill check because
of various protection routines and she
does not have time to slice them out
of the way. She could make a DC 35
Computer Use skill check on a good
day, but she cannot trust to luck right
now. She spends an Edge Die and rolls
it, getting a 3 on the d8. She makes the
check, but loses 3 points of Intelligence
(the statistic Computer Use is based on)
because of the strain.
The Cost of Using Edge
Once a character gets out of the situation that necessitated
the use of their Edge Dice, they have to pay the cost in
exhaustion. Edge Dice spent during a combat or extended
scene such as several skill checks made to accomplish a
3
 single task (such as a one full run in the Web against a
corporate mainframe or putting together a new style of
armour plated van) have to be rolled again after that task
is completed to determine how many points of non-lethal
damage the character suffers.
Unlike normal non-lethal damage, this is mental and
physical strain and will not heal until all of a character’s
Edge Dice have been restored. If only some of the lost
Edge Dice are regained at a time, they are rolled (but
not spent) to determine how much non-lethal damage
is healed. Once all of the character’s Edge Dice are
refreshed, any remaining subdual damage caused by their
expenditure is healed and no longer affects the character
Edge Dice
in any way. While a character has non-lethal damage
from spending edge, any further non-lethal damage they
suffer from other sources should be tracked separately. In
all other ways, non-damage from spent edge (also called
edge damage) is treated like non-lethal damage for all
purposes.
Just what constitutes a ‘situation’ for determining when
edge damage occurs is a matter for the Games Master, but
the following guidelines are suggested:
> Edge damage is sustained immediately after a
combat ends, as defined when the last opponent
has been put down and no hostilities have
occurred for six full seconds. This leaves a small
margin of time for medical and cybergear use
before exhaustion and possible unconsciousness
sets in.
> If a combat lasts more than ten rounds, edge
damage occurs ten full rounds after its last use.
This allows a character with multiple dice to
‘chain’ them over time to keep staving off the
occurrence of edge damage over the duration of a
long battle, but eventually it will catch up to him.
Edge damage that happens during combat occurs
at the beginning of the appropriate round before
the character suffering it can take any action
(except spending more edge, which resets the ten
round counter).
> When edge damage is used for an edge bonus
when out of combat, the edge damage should
occur either immediately there after or at the
end of the current task if the skill check is one of
several needed to succeed at what the character
is making any of the skill checks for (such as
multiple Escape checks to get out of different
kinds of binding). This has an upper limit of one
hour; all edge damage accrued this way should
occur no later than one full hour after the first die
is spent.
4
Rega ining Edge Dice
Edge is regained automatically if the following things
occur in game. These are effectively psychological or
physical events that leave the character feeling rested,
refreshed, or ready to give his best again after being
drained from the exertion of using Edge Dice.
> The character has had one uninterrupted day in
which he has not had any lack of food, water, or
relatively clean shelter. This time only counts if
the character spends the entire time in one or more
locations of his choice, is not incarcerated, does
not suffer any damage, is not diseased or poisoned
(this includes suffering the effects of withdrawal),
or has to make any skill checks with a DC of 20+.
This refreshes edge at the rate of one die per day.
> The character achieves his next experience
level. This refreshes all of the character’s Edge
Dice immediately and can occur (if the Games
Master permits) even during an adventure or in
the middle of combat if experience accrued in that
way. If the character is currently benefiting from
any edge bonuses, they remain for the as long as
they would normally and do not increase even
if the character’s new Edge Dice are of a larger
size.
> The character participates actively in a combat or
skill based contest against a major Games Master
controlled adversary and comes out victoriously.
The allows the Games Master to refresh the Player
Character’s Edge Dice after the climatic scene of
the current adventure, even if the next part of the
plot line would not normally allow enough time
for them to do so otherwise. This can restore a
variable amount based on the scale of the victory;
one Edge Die for a main, levelled henchman all
the way up to full restoration for an adventure-
spanning lead villain or an action that saves
millions of people.
All current edge damage and ability score damage related
to edge expenditure is removed when edge is restored. If
a character gets back less than all of their edge at one time,
the die returned is rolled (but not spent) and that value is
applied against the damage the character has sustained.
In the above example with Hellcat, if she had to spend a
second die of edge to make an identical skill check a few
minutes later and was suffering 7 points of Intelligence
loss, she would get back one Edge Die (which for her
are d8s) after a day of safe rest. That die is rolled and
comes up a 7. She gets back 7 Intelligence points and
is no longer suffering any penalties, even though she is
technically still down one Edge Die.
