Why not call in a few friends?
• Cost: 12 Karma per level
• Game Effect: You have spent a bit of time setting some seeds you can call in for help. When you do an illegal matrix action, you can gain a +1 dice on the check for each level of this quality. You however increase your GOD score by the level of this quality for each illegal matrix action you take.

Daily Punch 11-10-23 Concussion Grenade positive quality for Shadowun 6th Ed

Time to keep this idea going!

Concussion Grenade
Hurt before the hurt.
• Cost: 8 Karma
• Game Effect: When you throw or shoot a grenade, you can target a creature instead making a thrown weapon attack or ranged weapon attack as normal against a Reaction + Intuition check. If you succeed, you deal damage equal to net hits plus your Strength score if you threw the grenade or attack ratting/2, rounded down and there is no grenade scatter. If you miss, you roll scatter as normal. In either case the grenade explodes after.
