Only he can tell...

@Storm:
Yeah, we'll have to IC that dilemma.  Since you don't have any tech knowledge skills, nor any tech active skills, i'll just have you default on Logic.  So roll Logic - 1 and maybe I can help you out.

@Stake:
So for matrix rolls that I make, i'll post some of them, and then some other ones I won't post.  This is to keep a little uncertainty in your Overwatch Score.  You can check it with the Check Score action, but otherwise I won't tell you. 

@Zach:
Make a visual perception test to find openings to send drone out.  Also make an Agility + Gymnastics test.  Remember that Cat Mentor Spirit in 5e also gives you 2 free levels of the Adept Power: Light Body.  So that's basically +2 to jumping.  I'll let you take that +2 for the test to get up to the rafters under the roof.

@Inca:
Question about matrix traffic: what action can I use to locate where the RFID tag sends its messages? Is it Snoop or Trace Icon, or a different one? The tag must contain the data where it has to send its messages, but I couldn’t say with certainty which action I have to use to determine that.

completely forgot that. Thanx for reminding me.

@Ren:
It'll be a snoop action.

FYI, just edited my last IC post, Storm is setting a trap

[Ren]

@Inca:
 First, I take one box of matrix damage because of the failed attack check.

Second, I was under the impression that tests can be retried (p. 49). I totally understand if you want to limit this opportunity in some cases but I think you should make it obvious or at least hint at this fact, otherwise I can only work with the basic assumption. In this case, I knew that 3 successes would probably be not enough to penetrate the folder’s protection but I didn’t spend Edge, because I thought I could try again and then spend Edge if things still don’t go as I expected. If I had known that there’s no opportunity to retry, I’d have spent Edge on my first roll.

Tbh with this as an example of matrix runs being fast and fluid an easily intertwined with "meat" actions, SR5 fails so far to deliver what was promissed

[Thermo]

Lets give it a chance, we're not in combat yet so it's hard to really tell :/

It's a hell of a lot better than 3rd edition, that's for sure!

I don't really remember what SR5 promised to do about matrix. What i see is that it is not a child's play anymore to hack into a serious, high-security system. Additional sourcebooks might change the environment (however futile, i still hope there won't be a big batch of new rules), but i think it is more balanced and somewhat streamlined, compared to 4e rules.

Thats right. Honestly, it can help if gm keep track of elapsed time for this events, idn if things happen in a matter of minutes or combat turns now..

[inca1980]

It's better than 4e and greatly cuts the amount of rolling.  Problem with matrix is that even a few rolls for matrix stuff can be boring for other non-matrix characters, especially if they don't know the matrix rules....even worse in PbP. 

@Ren:
You're right, I was going with the old "try again" rules, and now it's that GM discretion comes in to see when the penalty resets.  So i'll allow you to try again.

Like I previousl said...keeping the timeframe of this actions would be much better for me. Till now, I go with the idea that every Rens posted action is one Action phase of Combat turn...in which case it is about 2-3 combat turns from the time of our arrival. But I may be completely wrong and thats what confuses me.
And dont get me wrong, I learn matrix rules and Im watching their use in praxis not just in this PbP game...

[inca1980]

If it was just Stake doing actions it would be only a few CT's, but since everyone's been acting, just to keep everyone consistent, we'll say 5 min. have gone by since he started looking at the drone.  Every 15 min. his overwatch score goes up.

[Sichr]

OK Thanx. Any results for that Navigation check?
