Cybersingularity Seeker doesn't really fit someone who had forcibly implanted 'ware.  Plus, he would need four full limb replacements to get that +2 bonus.

Just responding to the general topic and subject line.

Oh, absolutely, Reaver. I myself pointed that out in the post above that that was my interpretation and not one that's shared by everyone.

Yeah, the Magic to 0 and up to 1 or 2 with Karma isn't particularly cheesy on most characters.  Magic 1 or 2 isn't particularly useful, and you're giving up a couple points of edge for the Priority, passing up on at least one Essence worth of Augments, as well as throwing a few Karma at it.  And its usually more fluff than useful. 

I'm sure there are some niche exploits that can be done, but the net result is usually a lot of resources for a mechanically so-so character hook. 

I think about the most abusive thing you could do would be stacking the Way of the Burn Out and Biocompatibility you can to get around 8 essence worth of 'ware and a random Physical Adept power or Magic group at a low dice pool.  Uh... Kamikaze fueled Cybor deth machine with Detox ftw I guess?  'bout the most potentially abusive thing I can come up with.  YMMV.

Going that route you would need the Redliner PQ (correct name I think) from Chromed Flesh to help with your none existent physical limit, unless English version finally gets an official response on total limb (and I would say torso) replacement.

Hobbs's psycho chromed idea might actually be broken.

The opportunity has come for me to play this character, I'm going to see if its a sound concept.

Using a weapon you use the weapon accuracy instead of limit, so you can take advantage of your hits. For non-combat, even with dumped strength, the character could have physical limit 4 or 5 (higher even if a heartier metatype). That's usually enough for most things. Some drugs can help too.
