[Sinistra]

Sorry but this seemed like the best place to ask my questions, basically I am trying to make a Gnome Rigger but being so new to the system. Even after reading into the books I had a friend point me to this forum for advice. We are using the Chummer program which so far has been a wonderful and helpful tool, and our GM is limiting us to Arsenal, Augmentation, Runner's Companion, Street Magic, Unwired, Streetmagic, and the 20th Year Anniversary Edition of 4th Ed Shadow Run.

After I learned with what the other characters were doing in the group, I decided after asking a few questions I wanted to be the Rigger. Now having never played the system before I can say after browsing these books a lot has gone over my head and I am getting a little confused on what I should do to build my Gnome properly. We have 400BP and a max availability of 12. Also this is set in 2057 I believe he said, so the second crash has not happened (Think it was the second one), and Nanotech and the smallest class of drones, along with cultured bioware are off the table by his standards.

While I know Riggers are about there vehicle's and drones I have also picked up that some hacking ability would be needed, and I would also like to be able to defend myself other than with just my drones. We have a good hacker in the group (Boosted logic of 7 I believe), so we have someone who can hack well so I wont need to be full time hacking.

For stats, which we are limited to 200 for Primary with Edge bought separately.
Attributes:
Bod: 4
Agi: 5
REA: 4 (From what my GM told me this is important for Rigger's and I will be using Wired Reflexes or Reaction Enhancers to boost it, buying a 5 as gnome is expensive.)
STR: 3
CHA: 3
INT: 4
LOG: 4
WILL: 5
EDGE: 4

Positive:
Arcane Arrester (Gnome)
Thermographic Vision (Gnome)
None chosen yet.
Negative:
Distinctive Style (Gnome)
Neoteny(Gnome)
Day Job (10/Hr Week) Most of the other PCs seem to have one of some sort, and it adds a bit of story.
Extravagant Eyes (I did not plan on having Cybereyes.)
Unusual Hair
In Debt (20,000 Nuyen) (Again something I can work into the background, though can be changed out for another 20 BP of Negative Traits)

So far this is all I have, I am looking for any suggestions about what I have taken. And then maybe I can move onto the next part of the character being more sure of myself.

This has left me with 180BP
