If someone with natural hearing enhancements spends too much time in noisy places it'll adversely affect them, so they can wear earplugs.

		+	==NON-LETHAL ROUNDS==
		+
		+	When using less lethal specialised rounds such as stick and shock, the upped damage value generated by called aimed shots is capped to stun damage so physical damage on the target isn't applied and consequently lethal. This is to allow for exceptional rolls to not be super effective and end up killing the target where the intention is to merely disable or disorient.

 The maximum modifier to the senses will be a +/-4. These situations are extreme - an eco-shaman trying to find focus amongst the toxic outflow of a AAA corp will suffer a -4. Trying to focus in some ancient elven forest however would see them get +4 (and maybe a sharp blade in the back from a leaf eater).

	How much the general public know about you. This is an amalgam of the other two ratings. Basically, keep it low and no one outside the shadows will know who you are. Keep it high, and on the one hand you might be able to sign a movie deal, on the other hand everyone will know who you are. Recognition is generally a bad thing for career criminals.

	If you're buying enough through a contact related to your line of work then you'll pay no more than book price unless it's an unusual and hard to source item. If you buy enough then they'll start offering discount to keep you happy. Alternatively if you need something rare and from a source you've never used before, it may well cost you more than the book suggests.

		+
		+	==REPUTATION - NOTORIETY - PUBLIC AWARENESS==
		+
		+	In Joose's runs the participants are getting Karma at an increased rate to normal per run, Joose has modified it so that the reputation is calculated from total Karma/20 rather than total Karma /10. This seems to be giving more reasonable numbers.
		+
		+
		+	As for what they are -
		+
		+
		+	'''Street Rep'''
		+
		+	How well known you are in the shadows and on the street. It’s a basic guide as to how much respect you will get off your approximate peers. Obviously, people who don’t move in shadowy circles are not going to be impressed by this. In general, a higher street rep is a good thing.
		+
		+	'''Notoriety'''
		+
		+	How much of an arsehole you are. Doing things like stiffing your Johnson (wahay!), being generally obnoxious and killing people who didn’t need to be killed will raise this. Most of the time, it’s a bad thing (although it could be used as a bonus if you are trying to scare someone). Too much notoriety and you need to start watching for the cops/hit men.
		+
		+	'''Public Awareness'''
		+
		+	How much the general public know about you. This is an amalgam of the other two ratings. Basically, keep it low and no one outside the shadows will know who you are. Keep it high, and on the one hand you might be able to sign a movie deal, on the other hand everyone will know who you are. Recognition is generally a bad thing for career criminals.

		+	==AVAILABILITY==
		+
		+	In HereComesPete's runs availability on gear is less dependent on availability and restrictions than the books suggest. If you're a drug user getting you next fix is a simple task of going to your usual sources and buying more. If you're a B&E specialist, picking up a new set of picks or maglock passkey is a case of paying a visit to your normal shady man in bar.
