A potential new player in my campaign is brand new to SR4. She says she wants to make a "Jack of All Trades" character. I'd like to help her out, and I have no problem with that in concept, but I've never made anything but "specialty" characters before in Shadowrun. All my characters would always fit into a distinct category (Samurai, Mage, Adept, Hacker, Rigger, or Face).
I'm worried that making a true "Jack of All Trades" will severely gimp her character, but on the other hand I think it just might be possible with typical SR4 character creation rules (400 points and all the standard caps). But I personally have no idea where to begin. Could any of you kind folks give me a nudge in the right direction and perhaps a few tips? Thanks! |
