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?
Full Version: Codeslinger and Exploit
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 you take the hacking specialization 'Exploit' for a fifthe of the cost
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.
Im amazed that you can improve things technical.. =(

It is restrained by the Skill cap.

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.
