I've read all the posts in the recent search history on the topic of Free Spirits. I understand they're just one giant ball of liabilities, but I'm committed to making this work - possibly because my GM is new to SR and not very harsh, generally speaking.

As you can see, I've borrowed basically every element from the threads in question:
[ Spoiler ]


I like the end result, but it's sort of schizophrenic. He was initially intended as a backup caster, and his stats suggest that, but I really like the idea of a bruiser golem now, too (thematically appropriate, yay!) and his physical stats DON'T back that up (10/1/1/10 in his homunculus). The other benefit is the GM is playing a GM character in case someone else wants to take over (we've never had any of the problems most people associate with GM characters) - to make his life easier, I can always simply possess him.

I'm looking for suggestions and recommendations (OTHER than "don't play a free spirit" or "use karmagen") for either balancing this guy out to specializing him further. Attributes, spells, powers, etc. Any way to make him better.

P.S. I included the "group contact/karma factory" thing, but I won't be abusing it. I just like the added story elements and the safety net. I thought maybe a Loyalty roll at the end of each adventure for a little extra Karma or something.
