====== R.A.M. ======
[[:Mechanic:Rating:R.A.M.]] is a [[:Mechanic:Rating]] available to [[:Character:Entity|Entities]]. It represents an [[:Character:Entity|Entity's]] ability to store programs when [[:Mastery:Netcraft|Netcrafting]], [[:Mastery:Slicing]] or [[:Ability:General Ability:Hack|Hacking]], as well as its defence against dangerous [[:Setting:I.C.E.]].\\
\\
A [[:Character|Character's]] maximum [[:Mechanic:Rating:R.A.M.]] [[:Mechanic:Rating]] is equal to their [[:Character:Stat:Smarts]]. An [[:Character:Entity|Entities]] [[:Mechanic:Rating:R.A.M.]] is restored to its maximum at the start of their [[:Mechanic:General:Time:Turn]].\\
\\
 A [[:Character]], unless specified otherwise, only gains a [[:Mechanic:Rating:R.A.M.]] [[:Mechanic:Rating]] while a [[:Cyberware:NeuraCore]] is installed. For [[:Vehicle|Vehicles]], facilities or other non-[[:Character]] [[:Character:Entity|Entities]], their [[:Mechanic:Rating:R.A.M.]] is gained from their [Components], [Class] or [[:Ability|Abilities]].\\
\\
[[:Mechanic:Rating:R.A.M.]] is primarily used when receiving [[:Mechanic:Conflict:Damage:R.A.M. Damage]] and is reduced before any other [[:Mechanic:Rating]]. [[:Mechanic:Rating:R.A.M.]] is also reserved when using certain netrunning [[:Ability|Abilities]], such as those from [[:Mastery:Netcraft]]. \\
\\
[[:Mechanic:Rating:R.A.M.]] that is reserved will not be restored at the start of that [[:Character:Entity|Entity's]] turn, effectively reducing their maximum [[:Mechanic:Rating:R.A.M.]] for the duration it remains reserved.
