I have submitted a face/B&E femme fatale that can somewhat take care of herself in unarmed combat. Basically, she is good at talking herself in to a party or seducing the right corporate executive. Once inside, she can sneak around and get what she is looking for (with some matrix support) before getting out in style.

There seems to be quite a bit of overlap with my char.
Ah well, we can double team them.

That and make sure to bring the adept with super-high Perception, Assensing, and can pretty much remember everything visible or utter-able around. :D

Mr fox is a hacker with minor rigger aspects.
Interesting. Taiga is also a hacker, but with a secondary skill set in infiltration, disguise, forgery & translation, among more technical things.

All this talk of double teaming; if my character is accepted, we should probably talk tactics.

Ok guys well if Gm will give me a chance due to date confusion and look over a character. Im building a technomancer since pixie didnt feel right with the group and ive neverplayed a techno before. Holy crap points are tight though.

But I may have over killed on datasearch. How does hitting threshold 11 (8 + sift) on datasearch and then using infosortiege work. Maybe I should take different echoes.

Anyway He's a Surged dwarf, who was experimented on after both the commet, and then experimented on again after Crash 2.0 with his emergence. Needless to say He lacks memories but gets the occasional flashbacks of his tortured past. This fueled his search to find the truth about what happened to him, and along the process he met the archivist and his world veiw changed a lot, seeking the truth not for revenge but enlightenment. The charecter sheet will be up soon.

the only problem I can see with the surged dwarf is the automatic distinctive style.

@Katrex
How severe a SURGE are we talking?  :)

@Triggvi
That it is.

Technically, all character options from RC gain distinctive style, but then it says, "The modifier does not apply to astral or Matrix searches." Which seems to make it hard to apply against an AI.

For a mirrored shades game Distinctive Style can be a bigger handicap than in a Mohawk game. In mirrored shades blending in is protection. I am not saying it is forbidden or not, not my place to say that is for the GM.

Yea I know distinctive style isn't great It shouldn't be visible but still is but its only +3 to find me, as long as I cover my tracks well. The surge is for silver eyes photographic memory and Meta improvement. Combined with the geneware i have it makes a nice 7 intu 7 will 7 resonance.

Its also just because i was considering whats the worst thing I could do to my charecter. Surged, get captured medical experiments, emerge get captured medical experiments. And yet he pulled through it all with a positive philosophy, thanks to his paragon.

Anyway He'll be wearing mirrorshades to cover his eyes, That said hes entirely a matrix charecter the penalty shouldnt hit him too hard.

Theres the first draft. Arghh so few points. Realised it was only 520 not 580 twas scary,

interesting character, but he/she has no cybercombat skills or armor or biofeedback or attack complex form. This would make him/her very vulnerable to a hacker or another technomancer.in any combat or a sprite or IC

I can't comment on technomancy; any advice there is outside my ken. Personally, I'd only pick SURGE III if I were going to ask Ympulse to get involved in creating a theme. ("beastmen, plant-human hybrids, or Ganesha-type changelings" to quote examples from the book) Like you said, though, as a mostly matrix character, it shouldn't hit him as hard.

Lol I also made a stealthy face character but he can used for med range assassination. Made his pistol pretty silent and concealable.

And bring the guy that can handle himself around a gun and provide some magic support. Plus he's really good at getting what he wants just in less subtle ways most of the time 8)

Cybercombat is overrated, technomancers cant get hacked usualy, Biofeedback is nopt a complex form its your charisma (firewall + charisma (10dice)

But it doesnt matter as most hings wont hit.
Matrix defense is Intuition  +1 + willpower + sheild 22dice, Thread the sheild for another 4 dice thats 26 dodge. full defense might be 33 Or perhaps it 18 and full defense 25 regardless thats why the armor isnt needed. And at 7bp a program thank god.

Besides if i need the programs I can just thread them on the go, as I dont take sustaining penalties due to my echoes.

Attack isnīt needed, just exploit an admin account beat their stealth and kick them from the node. Or you can use exploit to turn of programs if you so need.

Chances are, you can and will get detected at some point, and IC will get on you... they can deal Matrix damage and that counts as Stun damage to your physical form. And even if you have a good defense... you're focused on that and not doing your dang job. And the node is on alert and everything.

Saying you can thread things ignores the problems of Fading from Threading too.
