[Cesar 052]

I made this character to see how many Physical and Stun boxes I could get, and I reached 23 Physical boxes and 17 Stun boxes.
So yeah, what do you guys think?

I mean it's a lot of boxes and nothing else of note. You completely omitted the INT stat.

He has an INT of 5?  Unless you mean something else

[Whiskeyjack]

Misread that this morning on my phone, sorry

[odd]

No worries here, I like seeing your comments for things cause you know your stuff and reading them teaches me things and I figured I was missing something.

[CraterShip]

Is it bad that this strikes me as something I would pit players against as a pseudo boss fight about 1/2 to 3/4 way through a run?

[Glyph]

It's a nice dice pool exercise in the vein of "How many dice for pistols can I get?" or "How many power points can my adept start out with?" and I applaud it for that.  But in actual game play, avoiding combat > dodging attacks > soaking damage > having a bigger condition monitor.

[cyclopean]

Yeah, seconded- better to dodge and/or soak better (body 11 will soak pretty well, granted). All those damage boxes will just end up giving you massive negative mods once you start getting injured- you could be looking at dice pool penalty of -12 while still being conscious potentially? Get a pain editor implanted down the line maybe.

[SoulGambit]

Thirded. Good job on the thought exorcise. It is great for what it is.

[Tarislar]

I like the character concept. 

But as most have said, its pushed past optimal to the point of diminished returns.

A few changes/suggestions I'd do.

He'll loose 5 boxes,  but,  in this form its still pretty impressive & is MUCH more effective all around.

[Whiskeyjack]

Why sniper rifles? This seems like a clear-cut case of a character who wants to be in the middle of things with a shotgun.

[Tarislar]

Just seemed appropriate since Bigfoot lives/hunts in the woods
Also, because most shotguns have crappy accuracy & can burst + spread shot to reduce target dodge pool.

[FST_Gemstar]

Just reviewing...

Because you are built to take a lot of hits, but taking so many hits is going to cripple your dice pools, I wonder if it is worth it to:

get rid of the Will to Live Qualities,
take a Restricted Gear,
go Skills E Resources D instead,

and pick up a Pain Editor. Having a lot of boxes is more beneficial if you are not effected by damage penalties. I think it is worth it to drop a few in order to avoid those penalties. You also commit yourself to up to an essence worth of 'ware, so character has a nuyen vector of growth. If there is a way to get Narco at character generation too (perhaps with throwing more karma at nuyen), the character could handle physically addicting drugs very well.
