 Resonance actions. These actions only operate in the
Matrix, but they’re not Matrix actions and don’t follow
those rules. The bad news is that you don’t get the bonus
dice for being in VR (those only come with Matrix
Actions), but the good news is that none of it counts
against your Overwatch Score. Resonance actions
don’t require marks. You can still perform normal Matrix
actions, with all the rules that apply to them (including
Overwatch Scores).
Almost all Resonance actions cause Fading, a mental
drain on the technomancer (see p. 251).

call/dismiss sprite
(Simple Action)
Test: n/a
You call a registered sprite you have waiting in the
Resonance, which appears at the beginning of the next
Combat Turn. You can also use this action to send a sprite
back to the Resonance, releasing it from any tasks it still
owes you, which it does on its next action.

command sprite
(Simple Action)
Test: n/a
You command a sprite to do something for you, using
up one of its tasks.

compile sprite
(complex Action)
Test: Compiling + Resonance [Level] v. Sprite Level
You compile a sprite (p. 254).

decompile sprite
(complex Action)
Test: Decompiling + Resonance [Level] v. Sprite Rating
(+ compiler’s Resonance)
You attempt to decompile a sprite (p. 254).

kill complex form

(complex Action)
Test: Software + Resonance [Level] v. Complex Form
Level + Resonance
You attempt to kill a complex form (p. 251).

Register Sprite
(Complex Action)
Test: Registering + Resonance [Level] v. Sprite Level x 2
You register a sprite (p. 254).

thread complex form

(complex Action)
Test: Software + Resonance [Level] v. special
You thread a complex form (p. 251).
There’s also Erase Matrix Signature (p. 239), which
is a Matrix Action, not a Resonance Action. We thought
we’d mention it here so you remember it’s there.

Tar Baby
Attack: Host Rating x 2 [Attack] v. Logic + Firewall
The Tar Baby IC link-locks you when it hits. If you’re
already link-locked, it puts a mark on you, up to a maximum
of three marks.

Track
Attack: Host Rating x 2 [Attack] v. Willpower + Sleaze
Track IC follows the datastreams between your icon
and your deck. If this IC hits and the host has two marks
or more on you, the host (and its owners) discover your
physical location, which is usually reported to real-world
authorities immediately.

Resonance Actions
Some actions you can perform as a technomancer are
