Well, again, I have my table in mind when I make these recommendations (as I don't know about yours), and we see combat every session, so I should have qualified that REA vs INT statement accordingly. I'm also an REA/passive dodge whore - I always try to get it as high as is reasonable. Perception is oft cited as the most used skill in D&D, and probably holds true for SR, so YMMV, but between a good INT anyway, your skill, and your ware, you should be set with Perception.

Anyway, while I may seem to have good ideas they may really only be good ideas for me so, y'know, ignore me if something else makes more sense to you.

That being said, the thing with the shock glove is it uses half of your opponents Impact armor, with a 5S dam... Your ceramic knife gives you what? a 3P vs Ballistic armor which is usually higher than Impact anyway?

Haha, I've actually never gamed with this GM before, but most of your recommendations have been very helpful. I can definitely see why you say not to waste Ess on eyes/ears, just a role-playing thing I'm keeping.

And I have no problem ignoring suggestions (note how I haven't acknowledged a certain viewpoint from someone else ) but yours have been very helpful, after looking at the glove I am definitely switching, and I'm much happier with my character now!

I'd like to mention that at magic 5 1 PP is worth 25 bp.

I hope its okay to ask in someone elses thread but... I like the look of this sort of build that the OP has put together. However I was wondering how you guys would go about scaling it back for a 400bp limit.

Look at the first link in my signature and the Negotiator for a similar build. However, he's not particularly good at physical infiltration and would need some Hardware (and some Improved Ability for that and Infiltration) to fix it. I can give you more specific suggestions if you like.

If you want to start from the OPs build, the answer is going to be slash all the cost-inefficient things: 4 weapons skills would probably need to be knocked down to 1, maybe 2, Astral Combat is lolz and can go, and the cakeware can go. Might need to go down to Improved Reflexes 1 as well.
