Hi,

I was going through the Shadowrun books and I came up with what seems to be the maximum you can get for charisma based social skills for a starting character.

Attributes
Race elf: Maximum Charisma 8
Exceptional attribute +1
Genetic optimization: +1
Cosmetic surgery +3

Total: 13

Adept:
Kinesics +5
Improved Ability (Social Skill of Choice at rank 6) +3

Positive qualities:
First impression +2


Bioware:
Tailored pheromones +3
Enhanced phermone receptors +2
Vocal range enhancer +1
Cosmetic surgery +3

Software:
Empathy software (Rating 6) +6

Lie detection (Rating 6) +6
Thermographic vision +1

So with empathy software you can get a maximum 35 dice for social skills and with the detect lies software 36.
With the social skill of choice 38/39

Skills:
Con (Cha) RANK 6
Etiquette (Cha) RANK 4
Leadership (Cha) RANK 4
Negotiation (Cha) RANK 4
Intimidation (Cha) RANK 4

Skill specialization +2

Social skill of choice 38/39 + skill+ skill specialization for final total.

Making maximum totals of 46/47


Have I missed something or counted wrong?
