Tricking out your Adept Options

[paws2sky]

Okay, since the pet peeve/favorites thread was going OT into "kewl stuff fer ma Adept," I started this thread to (hopefully) help keep things on track.

So, maybe without going into fully statted builds, describe what your adept can do (and how), different archetypical adepts and the powers they have, etc.

I'll start.

Gunslinger Adept
Similar concepts: Gunbunny Adept, Sniper Adept
Your typical two-gun slinging mofo, often with a Hong Kong Action Movie or Cowboy theme.
Core Adept Powers:

• Improved Ability (Pistols) - No brainer. Step 1: Max out your dice pool using Imp Ability, high Agility, skill specialization, and smartlink (for when you want to take single shots). Step 2: Pwn. Optional: Swap out pistols for Automatics for a Gunbunny Adept or Longarms for a Sniper Adept.
• Improved Reflexes - No brainer. You fight, you need to move fast. Also, it helps refresh your Dodge pool regularly.
• Combat Sense - Buff your Defense and Surprise pools. Always a winner.
• Multi-Tasking - Keeping an eye on things is very, very good. No good getting ambushed.

EDIT:
Optional: Thinking about it, the Gunslinger Adept could really benefit from some Martial Arts, if your group is using those optional rules.

• Krav Maga: Ready Weapon as a free action? That = win.
• Firefight: any of those abilities are good.
• Ninjuitsu: the Surprise and defense bonuses are worth considering.

Also, melee hardened firearms are a must.
