I want to use the Codeslinger quality for Exploiting an access code (Hacking+Exploit) Extended test (Breaking In- pg 221).

The book says that it's a Complex Action, but does not appear on the Matrix Actions list on pg 219.

Does this mean Codeslinger is invalid in this case?

By a strict reading of the rules, you're correct. Of course, I can see many GMs allowing it anyway, or even just assuming that it's a Matrix action without ever checking the table to see if it's on the list

Or take both, then be an adept and take Improved Ability(Hacking) to win SR4. I have no idea why improved ability for technical skills is so dirt cheap; one magic point is +4 dice and breaks the skill cap in a way that no other thing can.

It is restrained by the Skill cap. :P

That i get, it's just that the power works while you are in VR that's feels a bit different. Afterall they still don't allow any mental attribute improvements from Adept powers. *shrug*

Yeah, well Logic has little to do with any use of Computers or Hacking in SR4.

....wow, that has so many valid meanings. :)

It would have been nice to have the Logic attribute be used in VR actions. :( But Logic certainly does have uses in those areas.
