Now he has no illegal items AK-97 are almost like Ares alpha but completely legal. Less drones, as money is limited, but within initial budget. Took him a little bit with life modules -

Then continued with karma gen.  Atleast  this time he has all kind of knowledge skills - I like the story and sorry for making him a dwarf I wanted to undo it but chummer won't let me and it took tons of time to do and there is no easy undo. So he'll be short...

I'll call the medic if it isn't already taken. Will get working on a character.

I think that the 'sum-to-ten' is the most D&D of the systems. I am very fine with you using that, just use the idea behind the experience level of character...
Please remember: I'm happy you reusing old characters. Most of you have to die anyway.

Thank you for this, I'll make one with LM and one with Sum-to-ten and see which one I like the best.

I didn't know he was a dwarf... but that actually might explain a few things.. Thank you Gilga - I love it.

With life moduels, to get the most bang for your buck, you wanna try to make sure you stack them to get higher stats, then skills. Unfortantly, its not always easy to string together a story I think. Especially with most phyiscal real life modeuls being things like working as a police officer or something.

TOUR OF DUTY: MERCENARY (Special Forces)

Feldwebel (Sergeant) Wolfgang "Tungsten" Ram (not his real name) was bred for war: His parents were both members of the armed forces of the ADL and as long as he can remember he was always somewhere on a military installation. School and even university where sponsored by the military. When the goblinization hit him at age 12 it just gained him recognition among his peers. Military was all he knew for a long time and consequently he applied for a job in the military: He became a MP.
His luck ended when he was implicated in a major weapons theft as an accessory. A suspiciously convenient offer arrived just after he had been arrested by his colleagues: Saeder-Krupp wanted to hire him. They provided layers and a new identity for Tungsten. In return they asked him for a few years of his time and that he would install a plethora of chrome in his body. They, only stopped when it was clear that anymore would kill their soldier. Of course it didn't help that he received primarily augmentations that had belonged to his predecessor or where made by the cheapest contractor.

When his contract was up for renewal he took the chance and vanished into the shadows.
All that chrome has deadened Tungsten's feelings. He hurts himself just to be able to feel something. Combat is one of the few things that make him feel alive anymore and so he heads into it with death defying bravado - or as others call it: A death wish.

Using Sum-to-ten

Jeff Ronzeintein

Background: Jeff was born into a middle-level family in Seattle. His parents worked as a pair of doctors for a hospital, and he dutifully followed them into the field. However when he grew up he was struck by wanderlust and wanted to join the UCAS out of Medical School. He was assigned to a combat posting as both Medic and Demolitionist out of training. He served for a full term, but left soon after due to his parents death. he had no idea why Ares had wanted his parents dead, and he still doesn't know. Whatever it was, they covered their tracks well, and had blocked off from any legal avenues of employment. Taking a fellow veteran turned arms dealer's advice, he began work as a Shadowrunner. It was pretty profitable, as he was a decent gunman, okay high-ex expert, and any runner wanted someone capable of patching them back up.

I believe you get both a science and art choice with the higher education, as both ones are yellow, like when you choose anyhing, even stuff with multiple choice you get all the yellow items.

Now As you can see, I set aside 325 karma for everything else. This is running of course under the idea that Higher education runs a little like a real world high education with a Major (Science) and a Minor (Art), especially since both of the disciplines are yellow, and you always get whatever is in yellow, even if you have to make a choice under it.

Now the first thing to do is spend 17 karma to remove Criminal SInner and Paranoid. I'm keeping bad rep with her, as the character has a reputation of being a bit of a speedster while behind the wheel.

That leaves me with 308 karma left, 100 is going to buying stuff
208 left to round everything out.

Obvious the first thing to do, spend 30 points to bump Str, Agi and Body to 2.
Now I could spend 90 karma to go to level 6 resonance. But I think that's pretty expensive, even with the starting 2 resonance. So lets drop it down to 5, as its 30 karma cheaper and not too much terribly worse.

that leaves us with 118 karma left. The GM has said I could submerge a few times with the character, and so I'll do it twice fore 29 karma. The first is for MoM or whaever the other one is. Same diff. The second could be for Skin link so I can drive while in AR instead of VR, directly interfacing with the vehicle
89 Karma. -25 for positive qualities.
64 karma left for other things.

I'm thinking of Picking up the 20 karma initiative quality, so I can have that +1d6 and +1 to initiative scores, something I'll need for AR driving, as VR driving would be terrible. Perfect timing might also be something to use.

[Triskavanski]

I am very up for other, self made and published on this forum, life modules. I took the UCAS one and made a British Module with a few changes - adding in the Britishishness. PM me the details if you want to do something similar.

I think that the 'sum-to-ten' is the most D&D of the systems. I am very fine with you using that, just use the idea behind the experience level of character...

Please remember: I'm happy you reusing old characters. Most of you have to die anyway.

On the Sum-to-Ten thing, would it then be something like sum to fourteen?

[Nevyn]

can i try maggie? sorry didnt see this earlier but i find this an awesome idea.
0r mage 3.  lemme know

Either is fine. #3 is recently promoted to lead team 3. Maggie...is a dichotomy as rat shamens and ex-mil aren't exactly copacetic.

[Triskavanski]

Okay, so here is what I did.

I did Sum to 15 (High life) with Prime Runner, as I found that Life Mod/Karma gen is like very expensive to get the technomancy abilities up to snuff. IF that is too much, even for someone who is about to die, lemme know.

Would they come with a rigger mod? If not, I guess I'd put that into mine first thing... And some sort of weapon inside for gunnery.
