	Every electronic device or creature with augments has a Hackability Score, and many creatures have a Hacking bonus; unless otherwise specified, the Hackability Score is equal to 4 + their Will Save bonus. When a hacker wishes to hack something, it makes a ''Hacking Check'' as a [[standard action]] to roll 1d10 + its Hacking bonus and compare the result to the target's Hackability Score + the action's difficulty. Failure means that the target becomes aware of the hacking attempt, and knows the ID of the hacker. Success means that the hacker can perform the action, and ~~rolls~~ a number of ~~Problem Dice~~, as indicated in the table below:		Every electronic device or creature with augments has a Hackability Score, and many creatures have a Hacking bonus; unless otherwise specified, the Hackability Score is equal to 4 + their Will Save bonus.
