Hello everyone:
I was trying to make the chip of a mystic adept, but I can not get it to be optimal enough. I know that to say optimum without specifying in which sense it is a little silly. My goals are or at least the options I want:
-A mystic adept who has a good defense (dodge or resist damage) and through his adept powers and his spells can be good in the forefront or support the brute force.
-A mystic adept who can perform magician functions (in the sense of invoking or healing) and can also perform the functions of a face.
-A mystic adept who can perform functions of invoking or giving support spells and attack from a distance (this would be sacrificing defense in exchange for being able to act more from a distance)

If you have some idea or some mystical adept that you think may be interesting, I would really appreciate it if you would teach me and explain how it works.

Sorry if my English is not very good and thank you in advance.

I've tried to make several different types of Mysads. Trying to be both in one is unlikely going to work.

I've found the best way to begin the process of making a Mysad (to me at least) is ask yourself, Do you want an adept who can fling spells or do you want a Mage who can adept slightly. I say start like this because you'll still want both full magic and max PP.

I recently made a Giant Mysad who I decided was an Adept who could conjure things really well. Accordingly my skills reflected this. My Conjuring group was 6, I had 6 in automatics and my Sorcery group was 3. My spell choice also reflected this as I only had Offensive Mana Barrier, Physical Barrier and Petrify.

While I wasn't a good magic support for my group, I could conjure high force spirits more easily than the dedicated Magician. I was also going 3-4 times in one Combat Turn thanks to Improved Reflexes 3 and shooting things with my assault rifle.

It's mainly about what do you want to do more. Do you want an adept who flings spells or do you want a mage who can adept?

I was trying to make the chip of a mystic adept, but I can not get it to be optimal enough.

Optimal enough for what task?

Is it combat? If so, is it melee or ranged combat you wish to specialise on?
Is it the Face skills and abilities?
Is it general magical things?

Tell us what is your focus and we surely can help you.

Your going to be poor as crap for your 1st couple runs, but this will get you most of what you want.

Sorry, I think I express myself wrong. The options I put above was how I wanted to focus the mystic adept but not all at once. It was more possibilities that I wanted to study and which would be more optimal according to the game and other players there.

My biggest concern with a mysad is to get in the fight not to become a burden and not to die at the first shooting.

My primary intention would be to be a mysad that focuses on magic and that the powers of adept overcome their deficiencies in defense and attack (by this I do not mean that he is an expert in melee or shot, but when a fight has a Defense more than decent to hold it, avoiding or resisting the damage and that in a very secondary way can fire a weapon without shame).

My ideal would be:
Be a great magician who supports the group with spells or summons. In a battle you can use your adept powers to have a great defense (either dodging or resisting damage) and very secondarily have a combat ability (melee or distance) that allows you to do something when you can not perform magic .

If this could not be, I'd like to be a mysad / face. Someone who through the synergy spells / powers of adept. He could negotiate optimally, get information ... And that secondarily, he could use either summons or other powers to spy.

The other and last option,  would be a general idea of ​​mysad, a little jack of all trades. I know it would be suboptimal, but if there is nothing better I would accept it.

Thanks for reply me.
And thanks Tarislar for  the build.
