As I want to make your programs and powers worth in in these situations also I will have some notes as we go. I am also spliting up these scenses as following "'''''Hacking a Device''''':, "'''''Searching for Matrix'''''", "''Accessing Networks''", and "'''''Keeping Secrets'''''".

−
These Dramatic Tast are split up into the following scenses "'''''Hacking a Device'''''" (Using programs and hacking to cause Tricks against foes), "'''''Searching the Matrix'''''" (finding what your looking for on the Matrix), "'''''Accessing Networks'''''" (hacking through multiple layers of security on the Matrix), "'''''Keeping Secrets'''''" (finding hidden data on the Matrix or Network Host site that someone wants to keep a secret) and "'''''The Dark Matrix'''''" (finding and using a 'dark' Matrix site where info can be provided by other deckers).
 
−
 
 
−
For these types of Dramatic Tasks the GM first sets what the task is, how long the decker/party has to complete it, and how many 'tokens' they need for success. These are generally Single Person Task as a Team of Deckers is rather rare. Finally unlike normal Dramatic Tasks, many of these tests are Contested by Enemy Programs, Security Systems and/or hostile Personas.
 
  
−
Combat in the Matrix happens when the Decker trips up security and alerts Intrusion Countermeasures (IC), enemy Persona and Sprits that might face off against them. This is not a Dramatic Action. Instead see '''Matrix Combat''' below.

Combat can also happen in the Matrix when the Decker trips up security and alerts Intrusion Countermeasures (IC), enemy Persona and Sprits can face them. This is where Matrix Combat comes into play (and is no longer a Dramatic Action). Instead see Matrix Combat below.  
−
To hack a device such as a comlink or cybernetic implant, the decker needs to make a Challenging Dramatic Task (4 successes tokens before the end of 3 rounds) with a Hacking contested skill check against the Comlink's Security Hacking skill. This is for any Active User in the decker's broadcast range. If the device is a Hidden User and the decker has located them with the Scan program, the Task requires 5 'tokens' before 3 rounds.  
 
  
−
Success allows the decker to impose either Distraction or Vulnerable (SWADE pg. 100) onto the target for 1d4 rounds. If the decker gained an extra token during the contest, she can impose both the Distracted and Vulnerable on the target for the same amount of time.

A Rigger (or Decker/Technomancer) can try and forcibly take control of an enemy drone, a vehicle or Sypder system with an Opposed Hacking skill check (or in the device is on remote service then a basic Hacking success). The attacking hacker must be within his Broadcast radius. The attack suffers a penalty of twice the devices Firewall rating. The hacker must devote his full attention to this action for the duration that he wish to control the enemy’s device.
 
  
 
====Searching the Matrix====
 
====Searching the Matrix====
 
So you want to find some juicy info on the Matrix. But what do you want to find? Searching for the Public Forum of a famous Simsense star or rocker, or the public press briefing of a Corporation or government agencies is fairly easy and does not require a roll or more than a round or two. But searching for even basic or general information on an individual or on finding some obscure public forum can be a difficult task as there is simply so much information out there these days that one has to shift through a mountain of data to get the answers you might seek. Seeking ultra-secure or illegal data is much more complex and dangerous.

Basic data search like looking up a SIN registered comlink number, Low end not illegal datafiles, Traffic Cams, etc. is a CHALLENGING task requiring 2-5 tokens but with no time limit. This requires a Matrix Search skill (or ''Research'' skill but with an additional -1 or -2 to the check). The '''''Agents''''' program will add +1 per Rank to this Search test. The Power '''''Empathy''''' adds +2 to the Technomanchers skill roll. Complications are fairly safe and only incrase simply add Time. Base time for this searches double or thriple the base number of rounds. Complications increase this to 5 rounds per Action round.

Note that Searching the Matrix is generally just used for general data hosted on the Matrix. Corporate Files and Secrets are going to be hidden behind layers of Security. As such to gain such data one needs to Access a Network Host and search for Hidden Data (see below).

Anything above Basic Public information searches are '''Contested Dramatic Tasks'''. One must bypast or better the Security AI of a device or Network Hosts to access the information. Deckers must make a seperate Dramatic Task against each Teir of Security.

As wireless information can be stolen with enough skill, effort and technology, a great deal of sensitive information may not be available via the Matrix but instead is hosted in isolated or Closed Network within an on-sight Network. It’s for this reason that a Decker must often accompany a team to the physical location to get access to the really good info.

====The Dark Matrix====
 
−
In the 2060's the Matrix has a number of illegal 'dark networks' sites where like-minded deckers and hackers (and a few technomanchers) hang out and exhange information.
 
  
−
If one has the right contacts (Matrix Connected Edge or Contact with a Dark Matrix Decker) you might also access the various information available on the 'Dark Sites' (called Shadow Hosts in Shadowrun). Without a connections one might still find one, depending on how secreative and/or illegal the data they deal in is. This requires a Search Matrix skill check a -1 to -4 (or Research skill check but at an additional -2 skill penalty) Dramatic Task of 4 successes before 3 'rounds'. The rounds here last either 5 minutes up to one day depending again on how secrative and illegal the Shadow Host is.

+
If one has the right contacts (especially via the Connected Edge) you might also access the various information available on the 'Dark Web' (called Shadow Hosts in Shadowrun), Depending on the Shadow Host (how secrative and illegal are they) it can take a Matrix Search skill check at -1 to -4 (or Research skill check but with an additional -1 to -2) and 1d6 minutes (for low end illgal hosts) to 1d6 days (for the most illegal and well connected hosts) to find one of these sites.

First step is to seek out the data files. This requires a Browse or Search skill check (minus the Tier's Firewall) and 1d6 Actions times the Tier Firewall. I.e. a Orange Tier Host that is not on alert would imposse a -3 penalty to the Decker's Matrix skill or program and would take 3d6 rounds to located it (if the decker knows what he is looking for. Just random data search double the time required).

The Host's Security Tier somewhat determines the IC's Ranking as lower Tier Hosts cannot handle the massive processing required for higher Ranking IC. Think of Types as how willing a IC is to kill you and Ranking as how danagerous it is in a fight (a White IC might be super dangerous to your Persona but not your meat body or cyberdeck).

While “jacked” into the Matrix through a direct neural interface Emersion, the Decker projects her conscious into it and no longer have any meat-body Physical Traits (Agility, Strength and Vigor), nor can they use any skill tied to these Traits. Deckers and Wage-Programmers create unique Persona – an electric, Matrix version of whatever the Decker choices to look like (the Decker’s Avatar). At a very basic level a Persona cost of 500¥ with a Strength and Vigor Trait of D4 each (Agility is irrelevant in the Matrix). Each Trait can be Upgrades individually as listed below. The Decker must have a comlink or computer where the electronic version of this Persona is stored and can be uploaded onto the Matrix. Matrix Strength determines the basic number of Programs (see below) that the device can handle running at one time (total number of programs not program ratings). Comlinks can handle ½ Matrix Strength in Programs while a Cyber-Deck and handle the full Matrix Strength in Programs running at one time.

* '''Black Hammer''' (Illegal) – Requires the Hammer Program (not rated, it function so long as the Hammer Program is running). This illegal program not only can damage a Persona but also the meat body of the decker projecting into the Matrix. The decker’s body suffers ½ the damage the Persona would have taken minus the decker’s comlink Firewall rating. Compare this amount to the decker's unarmored (or cybered) Toughness rating to see if she would suffer Wounds. If the decker is using AR this program can have no effect on the meat body. If using Cold Sim these wounds are not lasting (heal one such Wound an Hour, +2 to Healing) and do not require rolling on the Injury Table (see Grity Damage under Setting Rules). If the Decker is running a Hot Sim then these wounds care lasting (heal as normal) and the roll on the Head Injury Table (SWADE pg. 95). Cost 30,000¥

A special type of Rigger employed by many Corps is called a '''Sypder'''. They control a building or corporate area’s surveillance and threat response equipment (Automated Systems; things like alarms, fire suppression systems and of course pop-out wall guns and gas release systems). In these cases, each ‘system’ that the Sypder is in control of counts as a vehicle or drones for the limit to the number of devices he can control remotely. Different remote controlled guns would count as a vehicles, drones, etc. while camera systems don’t. Instead they act as the Spyder’s eyes and ears. Spyder’s often use the same Matrix Programs as Riggers plus Armor and Hammer.
