Is it that rare? Funny things is all my characters have it, and I tend to put a high priority on it.
You can get it via some Education choices but it’s missing from most Lifepaths.
Just looking at Nomads there’s 8 Lifepaths you can use to be an ‘X who Hacks’ and only 1 of them (Intelligence Operative) gets Analysis as well. Now this makes sense for say a 'Cat or Provocateurs, but an Investigative Journalist doesn’t get Analysis?
On top of that, it’s notable that both specialist hacker careers (Hacker and Interventor) get Observation in preference to Analysis.
So it’s something you feel if you’re running a differently focussed character (say a self-taught submondo Haxker who `grew up on the streets’) and need to plug other holes during the final steps.
Regarding the Infowar rules, you actually need both - and Stealth, too.
Analysis subs for most of the ‘Observation’ infowar tests.
Quantronic Stealth: Quantronic targets, zones, and
even specific quantronic zone effects can be hidden. Characters use the Analysis skill instead of the
Observation skill when trying to discern hidden
Targets, zones, and objects, as it requires being able
to pick out small details in vast quantities of cod e.
What else do you use Observation for in Inforwar?
And yeah, Stealth is pretty universally useful.
Good day.
I am new to Infinity RPG, and so far I am only studying the character creation system.
In particular, I am interested in more detailed rules for using Lhosts.
In the character generator on this forum, I found the characteristics described in Corbook (Nabia, Orlando …) but I have not seen these numbers anywhere in the books which I read. And in Aleph Faction Book, I found only the rules for custom Lhost. Did I miss something? Please tell me in what additional materials these characteristics are described?
And is there also I am curious in description of the features of the appearance of different types Lhosts? How do they differ from each other externally?
The Lhosts in the Corebook are described in detail in the Gear chapter (the Lhost chapter for costs, the Gear Catalogue for the detailed stats and descriptions).
Those Lhosts are: Standard, Antiquated, Nabia, Orlando, Siren and Titan Lhost.
Are you looking for more information about those Lhosts?
Or are you looking for different types of Lhosts besides those listed above?
