You have only 17 attribute points allocated, and I honestly cannot figure out your skills selection. You have 56 individual skill points and a wonky skill group. Also a bit more Edge than you should have. I haven't even started counting your gear selection.

Here, try this program to help you with your character creation https://github.com/chummer5a/chummer5a/releases/tag/5.190.0

Post by: Hobbes on <02-20-17/1129:58>: Shadowrun builds work best when you commit to a role. Are you a Rigger or not, you've got the Skills for one but not the gear. No RCC, no Rig, no Drones, but lots of Driving, Engineering, and Qualities that say "I'm a Rigger".

If you want to play a tough guy that happens to have a Van you're going to want to build more like a Samurai. (Resources A, Stats B, Skills C, Meta D, Magic E). A Rigger will Flip Stats and Skills and you'll want to read up on how RCCs, Autosofts and such all work. Oh, and pick up Rigger 5.0 'cause its full of Awesome.

"Smuggler" is a fairly open concept. Details on "What do you want to do" will get you much more detailed feedback. Do you physically sneak past borders with a belly full of high value contraband?

Sorry, you're out of luck then. I don't think I can help you with your character right now, but Hobbes will surely provide some solid advice.

It's core book only for the Free Trial IIRC.
