I'm no newcomer to Shadowrun, but I'm starting a new game playing my first physical adept, and there are a lot of powers to chose from that have never come up in prior games I've been involved in (where adepts have been scarce), not to mention the new ones from SOTA 64.
I'm looking at building someone who is sneaky but also a good fighter. Any one have some good advice? Example: Is it better to build around unarmed combat ability or to use a katana or something? |
