Actually, screw Nephritic Screen/Toxin Extractor. Get a Nanohive in one of your many cyberlimbs, and get Rating 9 Universal Nantidotes. Instead of 1.2 essence and 120000 for +6 to your toxin resistance, you can pay [2], 32500Y, and get -9 to the power of all toxins and diseases - worth about as much as +27! to your toxin resistance.

Aw maaan! You just gave me an idea for another character! *Sigh*

Makes me wish I was GMing our group, at the moment...then I get to play as many characters as I want.  ;D

(Nah, I take that back - having too much fun being an anti-hero.)

Ah, yeah that's nice.  Only downside is it doesn't work against prolonged exposure since every dose it does that to reduces the nanite's rating by 1, and the rating only restores at 1 rating point per week with a nanohive.  Still pretty good buffer on the cheap though, and well worth it when you can put the hive in a limb for no essence.

Nanohives are really screwy.  You can either spend a humongous amount of Essence on them, or you can implant them in a cyberlimb for a negligible capacity cost.  Giving it a capacity rating doesn't match the fluff, either, which describes modifications to the liver, kidneys and spleen as part of the process.  But yeah, if you want a nanohive, you want it in a cyberlimb - even if you have to get a cyberfoot just to put the nanohive in.  Sad but true.

I realize I'm a little late to the party, but I'm confused by how you calculated your attributes.

Your Body, for instance, should be 1(6).  You have a natural Body of 1, your cybertorso has the default rating of Body 3, both cyberlegs have Body 10,  one cyberarm has Body 5, and the other has Body 9.  1 + 3 + 10 + 10 + 5 + 9 = 38.  38 divided by 6, rounded down, is 6, not 9.  Or are you ignoring your natural score and dividing by 5?  Because even then you'd only have a Body of 1(7).  The same holds true for your Agility and Strength ratings.

Or am I missing something altogether since I didn't notice anyone else bringing this up.  Nevermind that you have Armor 4 and Armor 3 in several of those limbs with no Restricted Gear quality, meaning you're well over the Availability limits, too.

I assumed the armor 3/4 was bought post-chargen, since he said he'd played 3 sessions.

Cyberlimb averaging is funny like that. http://forums.shadowrun4.com/index.php?topic=4672.msg70364#msg70364 is a good explanation of how they work.

This Character is awesome! so refreshing to see someone not minmaxxed. Sure most of the ppl posting on here know how to take you out with 400 BP, but how few will ever play a character like yours?
