NAME:  Ki
CLASS: Netrunner Enhancement         COST: 3,000eb
STRENGTH: 4           MU: 4     PROG/DIFF: 180/30
FUNCTION(S): Netrunner Enhancement (25)
OPTION(S): Simple ICON (1)
COST MULTIPLIER: x10 (Netrunner Enhancement x10)
ICON: The word "KAIA!" comes from the netrunner's mouth.
NOTE: I recently made a trip to the Pacific Rim to visit a friend of mine 
who I served with for a short period of time.  While I was in Japan, he 
and I had a tendency to spar in order to keep in shape.  Well, he was 
usin' his ki very freely when the idea hit me....just before he hit me.  
What if I could somehow harness the power of ki so it could be useful in 
the net?  Well, guess what?!  Deadlock Enterprises has harnessed that 
power and we will teach you how to use it.  Using Ki will add it's 
strength to the netrunner's INT the round after it is activated and will 
remain active until the netrunner is no longer attacking, flees, or 
flatlines.


NAME:  Sting of the Scorpion
CLASS: Anti-Personnel            COST: 6,250eb
STRENGTH: 4           MU: 3     PROG/DIFF: 150/25
FUNCTION(S): Anti-Personnel (20)
OPTION(S): Simple ICON (1)
COST MULTIPLIER: x25 (Anti-Personnel x25)
ICON: A braid of hair that reaches down to the netrunner's waist.  When 
the netrunner attacks, he/she shouts "Sting of the Scorpion!" and bows 
forward rapidly.  The braid arches over the attacker and strikes the 
victim in the chest.
NOTES: The VRcades have a wide variety of games to choose from.  
Therefore, my staff and I gathered up some euro and played as many games 
as we could for two weeks.  This was one of Icebreaker's favorite moves 
with one of the characters she used.  The program does 1d6+2 points of 
damage to it's victim.


NAME:  Joss
CLASS: Netrunner Enhancement         COST: 3,500eb
STRENGTH: 5           MU: 5     PROG/DIFF: 210/35
FUNCTION(S): Netrunner Enhancement (25)
OPTION(S): Superrealistic ICON (5)
COST MULTIPLIER: x10 (Netrunner Enhancement x10)
ICON: A jade statue of a smiling (good Joss) or frowning (bad Joss) Buddha.
NOTES: In China, Joss is to them, what luck is to us.  On a roll of 1-7 
on a 1d10, you have good Joss and the program will add it's STR to your 
INT score during your run.  Of course, the down side to this is if you 
roll 8-10, you are the victim of bad Joss and I advise you to jack out 
now because the program will subtract it's STR from your INT score.


NAME:  Shadow Boxer
CLASS: Anti-Personnel            COST: 7,750eb
STRENGTH: 6           MU: 5     PROG/DIFF: 186/31
FUNCTION(S): Anti-Personnel (20)
OPTION(S): Superrealistic ICON (5)
COST MULTIPLIER: x25 (Anti-Personnel x25)
ICON: A shadow of a man raises from the "floor" of the net between the 
two 'runners and proceeds to fight with the enemy.
NOTES: This ain't your ordinary shadow boxer that you see on the wall.  
This one comes straight out of the floor to do battle for you.  It will 
do 1d10 points of damage to it's opponent with two left jabs, a left hook 
to the ribs, and a right cross to the jaw.  As Download says, "It's so 
pretty!"


NAME:  Clap of Thunder
CLASS: Anti-Personnel            COST: 7,750eb
STRENGTH: 6           MU: 5     PROG/DIFF: 186/31
FUNCTION(S): Anti-Personnel (20)
OPTION(S): Superrealistic ICON (5)
COST MULTIPLIER: x25 (Anti-Personnel x25)
ICON: A rippling wave of black electricity.
NOTES: The ICON of the netrunner shouts "Clap of THunder!", then claps 
his/her hands together to cause the rippling effect in the net. The 
attack will cause 1d6 points of damage to the opposing netrunner and will 
push him/her back 1d6/3 spaces.


NAME:  Reach Out and Punch Someone
CLASS: Anti-Personnel            COST: 6,750eb
STRENGTH: 6           MU: 4     PROG/DIFF: 162/27
FUNCTION(S): Anti-Personnel (20)
OPTION(S): Simple ICON (5)
COST MULTIPLIER: x25 (Anti-Personnel x25)
ICON: The left/right arm of the netrunner's ICON elongates.
NOTES: The left/right arm of the deck cowboy's ICON stretches out for one 
space to do 1d6 points of damage to the opposing netrunner.
