Hi all,
I've picked up the Matrix expansion for SR3, and am looking to play again after a few years away. I'm writing a new character but can't decide between an Otaku or a decker. I've generated the sheets for both, but it seems that the Otaku is not as effective as the decker, even though they're supposed to be "Uber" deckers. Silly amounts of good karma appear to be needed to increase channels via stat-line. Deckers on the other hand need the deck ect, but as a starting character (via priority system) start off with a better MPCP, and similar hardening and initiative ect. What do you think? Is a decker or an Otaku the best way to go to be sh*t-hot in the matrix? |
