My mages knew how to use a gun, so did my deckers. (except for the Otaku, but he'd just blast away with the AK anyway, was still fun.) The decker is With You, until he enters the matrix, just as the scout is With You until he sneaks off. Integrating a challenge for these characters was as easy as integrating a challenge that would equally work with a mage and his spells, as well as a Samurai and his wires. Saying the decker was limited is no different than saying the Face is, his skills are mainly useful in limited circumstances best served by not having other party members blather on while he's working his charms.SR is full of situational power disparity, just like it's full of characters that wander off for indefinite periods of time. It's part of the game, and most RPG's have similar circumstances.</blockquote>
