| + | Accessing information on the Grid can he a dangerous and tricky job. Corporate security teams and rival hackers routinely send out their own shadows to attack those who try to access proprietary intoformation. In some instances, a sloppy attempt at information gathering can allow a trace to the gridpilot‘s physical location-a mistake that often proves fatal. Despite the risks, gridpilots rarely hesitate to take on the most dangerous missions; they are often caught up in the exhilaration of the Grid and the challenge of proving oneself.// | ||
| + | //Gridpilots are known by their shadows, electronic creations that allow them to seek out information in a system's Grid. For example, other hackers don't know Maya Tsulevic of Landfall city; they know Nightblade, a ruthless Grid assassin and Maya’s alter ego in the Grid's electronic world. Most gridpilots are strongly independent; they vigorously defend their right to work for whomever they please or to tackle any job that intrigues them. In fact, some pilots are so fanatically independent that they've become electronic anarchists, lashing out against any kind of authority or government simply because it exists. Grid sabotage is considered the greatest security challenge facing any big company or government agency in this day and age.// | ||

| A Gridrunner might not amount to much in the real world, but in the virtual world, he rules supreme. He spends an enormous chunk of his time meandering the ever-expanding universe of virtual reality nodes known as the [[Grid]], searching for secrets, thrills, bragging rights, and dirty laundry. The Gridrunner belongs to an elite community of hackers and self-styled digital emperors—rulers in invisible fortresses who bend the rules of the Grid to suit their whims. A Gridrunner might spend more time in the virtual world than in the real world, emerging mainly to eat or sleep. He devotes more attention to his daring, intrepid avatar than real friends or family—and why not? His avatar is everything he wants to be, anything he wants to be—a criminal, a movie star, a commando, a goth dominatrix, a teddy bear, a ninja, a cartoon character, or all of the above. Through this avatar, the Gridrunner can reach the unreachable, attain the unattainable, dominate the indomitable, and leave his digital mark the world over. The Gridrunner advanced class is useful in campaigns where the Grid is used not only as a tool for gathering information but also as a means of interacting with the world. | A Gridrunner might not amount to much in the real world, but in the virtual world, he rules supreme.
