[Degausser]

So, running my fingers through the various expantions of SR that I have (Armory, Street Magic, and Runner Havens) I realized that a lot of people on Jackpoint give a lot of advice, and a lot of it is stuff that no one listens to.

So, I did what I could to make a Shadowrunner who follows all the advice in the book (or, at least, all the advice I could fit into a standard 400BP build) and saw what I came up with. He ended up being somewhat of a jack-of-all-trades. He is a little bit of a face, and a little bit Street Sam, and even a smidge of a hacker. Though he isn't GREAT at any of these, I wanted to know what you guys though. Would he last in a standard Shadowrun game? What would your prototypical runner look like, and how would he be different?

NOTE: I reworked his gear a few times, so the money-gear ratio might be a little off.
Note2: In order for everyone to look him up on equal ground, I only used gear and stuff from the main book.
Note 3: Notepad doesn't have the (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) symbol, so I used $. Deal.
Note 4: I assumed a Seattleite runner. For a Hong Kong Runner, or whatever, adjust the knowledge skills and contacts (and Languages) accordingly.
