I have been starting to implement the II rules into my games, when I realized one big weird oddity in the game: the Stroke mechanics for some reason create a new stat (Stroke), but leave it permanently tied to Audience.

Which means it IS your Audience stat…

Been having a similar problem with trying to hack character PANs as well. I feel like it should take less than 2 or 3 rolls for the hacker to do something flavorful and interesting like disabling someone’s cyberarm in combat. Any custom move solutions?
