I'm running a game over at the other forum where one of the players (hey BlackHat!) is going to be playing a character who's a metasapient AI with the Piloting Origin quality who's inhabiting an anthroform drone as a home node. He plans on playing this character as a fighter rather than a hacker. I'm really rusty on SR4 rules and haven't even read most of the newer sourcebooks that have been released, so I'm trying my best to learn how such a character would work so I wouldn't have to constantly bug the player for clarifications. Unfortunately, the rules regulating drone combat, AIs, and tech upgrades seem to be spread over a whole bunch of different books, and it's giving me one hell of a headache.

In my experience, the best way to learn about something is to break it, and last I remember, Dumpshock is notoriously good at breaking stuff. So I humbly ask for your help: using the standard 400 BP character creation rules, make an AI character who will make the GM upon which it is presented cry like a little girl and tear up all his NPC sheets in utter hopelessness of challenging such a monstrosity. Come on, Dumpshockers. The gauntlet has been cast. Let's see what you've got.
