Toying around with the idea of an Ogre  Mind Construct Psionic Practitioner.

Meta Ogre(4),  costing 8 Karma
Attributes 20
Magic Aspected Conjurer, Psionic Tradition, MR5, Conjuring SG 5
Skills[D] 24
Resources[E] 6000

Special Points 1 to raise MR to 6 and 3 to raise EDG to 4

Skills: Perception(Visual) 6+2, Con(Fast Talk) 6+2, Negotiations(Bargaining) 6+2, Etiquette(Street) 2+2, Arcana 1w/karma
assumption: self trained at an early age, uses task spirits to do most physical\technical tasks and so has not developed them, raised on the streets so learned to lie and negotiate to survive. He believes that the possessing spirits are his ego, ID, superego or whatever other subconscious part of his brain taking over and that they really aren't a separate being from himself.

Qualities
Human Looking
Adrenaline Surge
Emotional Attachment (Cold Forged Ring made by his father before he died)
2 points of In debt for 10k nuyen (owed to a Triad Talismonger that enchanted the ring)
Phobia (Uncommon\moderate) Arachnids (especially Arachnid spirits)
Spirit Bane [Arachnid Spirits] evidently he killed too many spiders in his lifetime.

Karma Used
25
+5 Emotional Attachment
+7 Phobia
+7 Spirit Bane
-8 Ogre
-12 Adrenaline Surge
-6 Human Looking
-2 Arcana
-10 20k Nuyen
-6 Bind the cold forged ring
Net SUM= 0 Karma [\spoiler]

Gear
18000 to enchant father's cold forged ring into a Power Foci[1]
10800 Fake ID[4] w\Fake Conjuring License[4]
1600 Low lifestyle
That leaves 5600nuyen for stuff... not exactly rolling in it and don't want to take any more In Debt....so what are the bare essentials?

assumption: surge to go first usually, order a fire spirit to posses me and attack my enemies- the spirit uses it's action in the first pass to possess, and if successful you refigure initiative for the spirit from the new stats -10 for having gone one pass. With this in mind I don't believe I'd be going the drug route or if I do it would be rare.

BAH!  I was working on Psionic Conjurer, was going to post few days ago, but made some changes....

His thing was that each spirit was a past life being channeled.. Divination Spirits being future lives.. was working on that part..

Guess great minds think alike.... or you stole my idea!

You are missing some skills.. like Conjuring Ones.

Why an Ogre? just curious..

[Kuirem]

Wouldn't it be better to swap Skills and Magic? You lose 1 Edge but gain 6 Skill points and 2 Skill group points. If you stick with C might as well go full Magician or MysAd.

[BigSexy]

Like I said somewhere else, I've been up for over two days-just can't get to sleep.
Otherwise- summoning would be a skill for this character....

Was playing around with it and ended up:

Meta [D] Human(3)
Attributes [A]
Magic Aspected Conjurer, MR 5, Conjuring SG 4
Skills [C] 28\2
Resources [E] 6000nuyen

And I'm purposely trying to not do a MysAd because every time I try and do a magician or an adept I end up with a MysAd

Though, if you want my thoughts on starting point for a MysAd Psionic:
Meta [E] Human(1)
Attributes [A]
Magic [A]
Skills [C] 28\2
Resources [E] 6000nuyen

[Kuirem]

For the bare essential :

• SIN/Lifestyle: You already got that covered.
• Commlink: Renraku/Blue Defender have the best ratio quality-price
• Armor: Generally Armor Jacket or Vest. It's worth to add a Helmet.
• Gun: Even if you can't use it, walking in the barrens without a gun is like having a big sign "I'm a victim and/or a Mage"
• Trodes: DNI have so much use in the 6th World.
• Micro-Transceiver: To communicate with your team.
• Crowbar/Chisel: It's cheap and it opens doors.
• Medkit: Never leave home without one. The Rating 3 is easy to keep in the pocket but if you can afford it go for 6 (I take both when I can)
• Restraints (Metal & Plastic), Credsticks, Datachip, Standard Tags: All little useful cheap stuff that can easily be bought after chargen.

You could free some nuyen by reducing the SIN to 2 or 3. It's generally enough for a start though you need a 4+ asap.

Like I said somewhere else, I've been up for over two days-just can't get to sleep.

I feel you there, brother (or sister). Insomnia has been kicking my hoop lately too. Skullcap tea helps a lot (and contrary to what it's name would suggest, it isn't toxic).

Here's my version of your original concept.  Modify to your heart's content.

[Kuirem]

Is it really worth to go for the Smartgun? The Warhawk has a decent ACC so except for that the bonus would be the same as a Laser/Holographic sight. Also getting your Laser Sight hacked isn't as bad as a Smartgun.

[Mulcarn]

I thought the same at first but Smartgun let's you shoot behind cover.  Albeit at a -3 penalty.

[Kuirem]

Well Periscope do it with a -2 dice pool or -1 Wireless. Periscope on top + Laser Sight under for 295¥ vs External Smartgun + Smartlink for 2200¥. If you use Improved Range Finder or Safe Target System it could be worth but here I think it's a waste of nuyen and it puts your weapon at extra risk against Hackers.
