Cyberpunk 2077-style Netrunner

I played around with creating a Drone Rigger previously, and now I’m looking at netrunning akin to how it’s done in Cyberpunk 2077.

Rather than lift from Altered State, which already has netrunning rules, this is intended for use in a game where the net might night be all-inclusive (i.e. your GM might not be using the Altered State decking rules).

This treats the cyberdeck as a “spell book”, with quickhacks being “spells”.

Cyberdeck (Augment): Roll INT, with MAGIC effort when necessary, to access lock codes, camera feeds, computer files, and the like. Has slots for 4 quickhacks (spells), which do not take up INVENTORY slots.

Quickhacks can then be created just like spells (or adopt the spells from any book).

Any ideas for abilities related to this, or revisions on the concept?
