While I have Augmentation, I'm still pawing through it and trying to crunch the potentials it offers.

I'm looking at creating a new character to fulfill one of the following roles and am torn between them at present as to which grabs me most. I was wondering if some of you system-heads might be willing to help me out, especially if the build is improved with Augmentation.

Standard chargen rules apply


A) Straight Street Sam/generalist with heavy on the cyber and gunfu

B) Street Sam/Hacker or Rigger

C) Pure Hacker with some survivability

Many Thanks

To add killiness to a hacker, buy a customised synthetic cyberarm (Agi 6) with R3 Agility Enhancement and a cyberarm gyromount. 31,250 :nuyen: , but it lets you shoot stuff really well despite your low natural agility. Use a slivergun on burst mode to take advantage of the recoil compensation.

I don't have Augmentation yet (waiting for the dead tree version), but here's a general-purpose sammie build:
