Title: Help me make a Centaur shaman combat medic.
Post by: GunDrake on <01-29-16/1601:19>
Can you people help me make a centaur shaman combat medic? I want to make a magical healer with combat spells that does summoning and talismongering. We are using a sum to 12 system with prime runner rules. I want to use a Ares Archon Heavy MP Laser or a Ares Thunderstruck Gauss Rifle, which one should I pick? Should I be a mage or a mystic adept? Will this build work? What vehicle do I want that will work in the mountains?

Can you people help me make a centaur shaman combat medic?
Sure. Charisma is the only attribute you need to specially care about other than the normal ones (Willpower, Intuition, Reaction, Agility, in about that order).

Get Summoning, Spellcasting, Binding, Counterspelling at a decent rating. Ditch talismongering. The rules are best for NPCs. If you want to flavor it up, use fetishes for your spells.

I want to use a Ares Archon Heavy MP Laser or a Ares Thunderstruck Gauss Rifle, which one should I pick?
Laser, because then you can use the laser shotgun, laser pistol and laser SMG.

Should I be a mage or a mystic adept?
Whichever you want. Mages can astrally project. Mystic Adepts get adept powers. I like mages.

Will this build work?
Yes.

What vehicle do I want that will work in the mountains?
You don't need a vehicle. You're a horse.

For the vehicle, if you are thinking of carrying your team, maybe a chariot would work?  ;)

What should I pick for my priority table picks? And what should my attributes be at?

centaur, casting, healing, spirits, guns. This is trying to do a lot with a high cost metatype, magician would be stretched thin, MysAd would definitely be trying to do too much.

So a centaur can not be a combat medic that focus on healing spells, a couple attack spells,  mabe summoning and a gun?

I think the hardest part is using karma both for centaur (25 points) and buying power points for adept powers.  Other than that it should be okay with sum to 12.

'Trying to do a lot' and 'stretched thin' do not mean that it is impossible. It is hard and not as effective as I like but possible.

NO!

Centaurs are abominations! They should all be destroyed!

Can a centuar use that huge laser gun as a 2 handed gun or hip fired gun without penalty? Because of their unique body?

Ask your GM. I'd allow some kind of rig (2500 nuyen) to make it carryable, but YMMV.
