am i wholly misreading pg 217 of SR3, or is the Locate Decker sys operation pretty much a lost cause? see, after you've completed the system operation part--rolling your decking skill vs Index minus your Scanner prog--you have to make a Sensor test with a TN equal to the target decker's Masking plus Sleaze. i mean, my otaku is pretty close to starting level; i haven't upped his Masking or Sleaze since i rolled him up. the TN to find him, using the Locate Decker operation, is 14. that's... that's insane. if i were in charge of the rules, i'd say the TN should be equal to the target decker's DF, with the additional caveat that every 2 succs on the system test (round down) lower the TN of the Sensor test by 1. but that's just me.
