My GM doesn't own the book, and centaurs moving at speeds reserved for aircraft would kind of damage the game experience.
shiva arms could also allow 30 DV attacks with the bow.

The only character I've SURGEd was one who got very subtle visible flaws. Striking eyes and dynamic chameleon skin. The only time he used the skin was when he was trying not to be seen in the first place.
And funny looking eyes? Not that odd in a world where people go out and do funny things with their eyes anyway.

Must be nice to have positive flaws
I don't mind that much though. I'll just keep doing what I can to make a bow all that it can be.

That character was also a drake.
The build was an attempt to find a role for a drake by utilizing all of the positives of the race. I was just flipping through the metagenetic feats, saw the chameleon skin and went "perfect, I have my design." Striking eyes were more a point of flavor than anything.
The true flaws that character had was in his lack of experience. In more ways than one. I'd only had about 88 BP to spend on skills (most characters use 120 or more and a skant 9 BP on "stuff" (hurray debt!)). He also walked into a dangerous situation blindly twice in an hour: he didn't grow up on the streets, "dead bodies" to him meant "something happen
ed here" not "there might still be a few twitchies around, scared shitless and hiding in a closet ready to shoot."

Wow. That's interesting to know, and I can kind of see how that might happen. Is it common for powergamers to use more on equipment and less on skills? I used only 66 points on skills and I'm thinking of reducing it, but I maxed out my purchases (synaptic boosters are the primary guilty party).

I tend to put quite a lot in equipment. Augmentations are a quick and efficient route to power. I tend to assign 50BP to equipment, thinking "I'm sure I'll find a use for it", and then blithely spend all that remains on skills.

I had a few areas to cover. Athletics, stealth, "a weapon" skill, spellcasting, and a hint of hacking.*
I will admit to having pulled the number "120" out of my ass. But I could have easily spent more BP than I had to spend and still been left with things I wanted more of.
*I used it too! There wasn't a real hacker in the group, me and my 8 dice had to do the job.
