So uh... DAMN YOU ROSA! YOU INFECTED ME AND INSPIRED THIS CHARACTER WITH YOUR DIRTY ELVISH WILES!

(Seriously though you DID inspire this character so thanks.)

So is he a viable playable character? I made (Yet again...) a long backstory so ill just say that his reasons for hitting the shadows is he has decided to try and improve his quality of life... and he needs 8000 nuyen by the end of the year to get his gym out of debt. (He is also reasonably well known in the underground boxing circuit so he gets rivals that challenge him every once in a while.)

(I made a thing where he had shock gloves... and... uh... he doesnt need that cyberware license now..
 So uh... yeah... edited...)

Looks fun and well thought out! I especially love the use of tough and targeted as part of the underground boxing backstory.

I did note that I don't think Bone Density actually increases your Body Attribute, just adds dice equal to rating  to your damage resistance tests. So I don' think the character has 8 overflow dice (just 5), and if you calculated your physical limit with 8 body, it's going to be one less.

Can I ask why Logic 4 Willpower 4 instead of Logic 3 Willpower 5? Willpower 5 will give you another stun box (good for a boxer) and help with different kinds of resistance tests. The character doesn't have any logic linked skills and making the change won't effect his mental limit. Just throwing it out there.

Also just double checking (as I forget this all the time), did you include symbiotes cost for your lifestyle price? I think One month of squatting + Rating 2 symbiotes is $1300.  It could make a difference for your available nuyen as you bought a 12 month full lease of lifestyle already.

Also noticed the character doesn't have skills in perception. Perhaps some of the running can shift into perception, as the character's pre-sprint rate is already very fast?

I checked and it does increase body. And it doesnt say on the sheet whether I HAVE to pay at chargen for months of symbiote food but i will... let me make the mods... thanks for pointing out the logic willpower situation.

Done. With edits he looks better. I can't wait to use him!... yeah... well given that the prequel of my campaign hasnt even started yet and my current active campaign is in hiatus I dont think it will be anytime soon...

I guess your don't have to pre-pay for simbiotes, but then just don't forget you have to pay ;-)

Bone Density Augmentation: "Your Body attribute is increased by the bone density Rating for the purpose of damage resistance tests"(Core 459). It'd odd language but I believe it is intended to just modify damage resistance tests, not actually increase the attribute. The pricing indicates this for me, as other bioware that increase attributes (Muscle Toner, Cerebellum Booster, Cerebral Booster, etc) are priced at 30k+ per rating as opposed to 5k for bone density. Is there another place you are getting this from than the core rule book? I could have missed an errata.

Frag! Your right! I misread it! Editing...

Also do the boosts from bone density and the spurs stack? If so I inflict 12dv... holy crap...

While you use the unarmed skill to use spurs, they are technically a weapon, so do not qualify for that bonus. I don't think they do stack, but I am unsure and could definitely be wrong.

I reasoned that Im still punching with a fist. The bone would hit anyway. Unless the armor had some major stopping power...

Nicely classic. Though the wording of your unarmed skill is slightly confusing. I'd write it Unarmed (Implant Weapons) 7(9), but I follow your logic.

Thanks! Im glad he looks good. I was worried I screwed up somewhere down the line because of his lack of multiple skills but I made him to tie to his character in terms of skills and contacts. Im just... really glad he looks good!

Seriously though I spent my entire day off on him. Every part was scrutinzed heavily. So its nice to know it wasnt in vain and it shows.

You are capped at 10 Karma for Karma to Nuyen exchange unless you have Born Rich.
And of Course there's In Debt, but that's a different mechanic.

You don't pre-pick the damage you negate with Damage compensators.

I'm counting 25 Attribute points, Attribute B gives you 20.

I'm Counting 29/2 skills. Skills C gives you 28/2.

Spurs and the assorted Bone augments don't stack.  Bone Density and Striking Callous does.
