I'm sure someone else has thought of this, but I'll kick the idea around anyway. Is there any reason a Adept/Decker shouldn't work? I occurs to me that, with a Computers(Decking) Specialization and Maxed Adept Power Improved Ability (Computers), your decker would be throwing 13 dice for computer tests.

That still leaves half of your starting power points. My idea is to speend these on body and armor adept powers, making this small computer heek surprising resilient for his stature.

I imagine this character having a terrible inferiority complex. With anti-magic sentiment still prevalent in sections of the UCAS, he is rejected by his magic fearing parents when they learn he has the Talent. Though he is taken in by another Warrior Way type adept, he never lives up to his master's ideal, being physically weak and more intrested in computers and electronics, not to mention succumbing to the lure of cyber and getting a datajack.

Any reasons why this shouldn't work? (SR 3 rules here)
