Mercedes
Born in Aztlan, Haydée Vega and her elf mother migrated to Seattle in 2061 when she was 11. They tried to get into Tir Tairngire, but were refused, leading to their becoming connected with the Laésa. Her mother did the odd data runs for the group, but Haydée decided the only way to really control your fate in the shadows was to dictate the rules. When she awakened at 14 with the abilities to charm those around her, she zeroed in an honed those abilities into a razor's edge. Taking the street name Mercedes, she began establishing contacts as she played 'tagalong' on some runs. She take the pragmatic view that it's easier to get in and out using words instead of bullets.

Testing out the rules for the build of one of my favorites.

[DigitalZombie]

Cool. It woyld be nice to see your priority choices too.

Why the exceptional attribute charisma - wouldnt that cost like 45 karma to be if any use?

Oh and I would love to see a respectable character concept with Attributes E - that seems like a challenge

Added the Priorities. And I apologize, I'd use 45 of the customize Karma to bring the Charisma from 8 to 9, then used the rest to buy gear. I'd also forgotten to add my contacts (54 Connection/Loyalty points).

[R Villiers]

I'm a n00b without a rule book so apologies in advance. How can you end up with a magic attribute of 6? I keep reading that priority A for magic is attribute=4 and 8 spells and that the attribute can't be changed during character generation.

You can still spend special attribute points on magic (at the opportunity cost of not going to edge instead, or in the case of metahumans: special racial attributes).  You can also spend customization karma on attributes as well, to include special attributes.

The RAW on customization karma does prohibit spells though, which may or may not be intentional and could ultimately change.

just doing some napkin math without trying to recreate your build process ... it looks like you shorted yourself 1 attribute point and connections have a max rating of Charisma so those level 10 should be capped at 9.

otherwise looks accurate enough

[Hobbes]

Looks like more than 4 PP were spent?  Or is Mystic Armor down to .25 PP per level in 6th?

[Michael Chandra]

Astral Perception 1PP
Combat Sense 2 1PP
Enhanced Perception 0.5PP
Improve Ability (Influence) 3: 1.5PP
Kinesics 0.25PP
Mystic Armor 5 1.25PP
Vocal Control 0.5PP

Total sum: 6 PP, so built under the assumption that raising Magic in chargen in fact does add PP for Adepts.

Which would make Magic/Resonance D the no brainer pick for Mages and Technomancers.  If that's good or bad is entirely subjective.  IMO, it's bad.  YMMV.

[Lormyr]

I appreciate the building enthusiasm, but I also fear it is entirely too early to set your sights on anything but the plainest, most vanilla builds. I expect that the next wave of errata that comes out is going to look more like a re-write of the character generation process, with both changes to and expansion on the current status quo.

Thanks, forgot about that. Updated the Character Sheet.

That makes adept look like a better choice I don't know what the rules are but, to the extent that fair use is respected, could someone provide a quote or two with RAW vis-avis magic attributes capped at the priority/ spending adjustment on increasing the magical attribute with adjustment points. Thanks in advance.

It´s either that or the Errata team completely gives up. Holy shit

To be fair, many of the hopefully-soon-to-be-fixed loopholes so obviously broken an cheesy (Impaired Attribute, Burnout shenanigans...) that most players wouldn‘t even dare to seriously build a character based on them. If you don‘t feel like commiting a crime when building your character, errata will likely spare you.

[DigitalZombie]

Im not sure what magic A has to offer an adept, that cant be gained elsewhere  better.

Say Attributes A
Skills B
Elf C
Magic D
Cash E

Drop enough points in magic to get it at 6, the rest in edge and charisma/agility.
You would end up with better attributes and skills, and no downsides - UNLESS increasing magic with those points arent meant to give you any power points at all. (Which I presume might be the case- as otherwise rhe magic coloumn looks very weak).
