The way that the Computer Use skill works now, either he's in or he's out when it comes to looking for stuff. I'd like to make it more interesting by introducing something similar to Shadowrun's "Matrix". I have an idea that the player would have to create an online persona which he would use to navigate the net. (And someday, I hope to play in such an adventure) I envision him having, in effect, a second character which he can upgrade by buying or writing new programs. As well, the hardware he uses should have an effect on how uber he can make the character. And, I envision programs to work like spells or even have to make him melee with the security programs.I am using the Shadowrun manual as a guide, but I'm having trouble seeing the big picture.If anyone would like to toss out some ideas, I would greatly appreciate it.Thanks!</blockquote>
