That shouldn't be a really big problem, tho. Deckers/Hackers tend to
make very effective snipers, but they don't have the all-around combat
ability that a real Samurai does. Converesely, it doesn't take much
for a Sammi to do double duty in the Matrix (specialized Computer 2/
Software 4/Matrix 6), but he won't survive head-on tangles with Red
level ][C.
