Sins And Sin Checks
SINS
When making a legal purchase, you have to attach a SIN number to the item. This shall be noted on the voucher by the GM that handles the equipment queue for you.
If you are using a Real SIN no test is needed, but you better take good care of the gear, because if its used on a crime, that's evidence against you. If buying legally with a fake SIN, a test shall be done following the table below:
| Value | Credstick Check Rating |
|---|---|
| 1-5,000 =Y= | 2 |
| 5,001 - 20,000 =Y= | 4 |
| 20,001 - 200,000 =Y= | 6 |
| 200,001 - 500,000 =Y= | 8 |
| 500,001 =Y= + | 10 |
Credstick Check
First the player tests his SIN rating against a TN equal to the Credstick Check Rating, then he does the return test. Using an amount of dice equal to the check rating agsint a TN equal to his SIN rating.
| Net Successes for the store | Result |
