How much Karma does your group currently have?

14 each, New girl that is playing shaman has none.

...  Why shouldn't the new character get the same Karma as everyone else has?  This really isn't a good precedent.

She just started playing, I'm helping her make her character today.

My point is that new characters ina running game should be awarded the Karma everyone else has.

Don't underestimate the glitch/critical glitch factor -- not as good in a linear mission/game, but if you have a 'gang encounter' ready to drop in to a situation, you can have some fun.
That's how our last bar fight started....  ;)

And why stick with just one gang; the other fun option is turf war at the Body Mall!  ;D Never underestimate wrong/place wrong time and Murphy's law!

Hopefully, we might see her stats soon?  ;)

Health specialization?  Double down with Bear for mentor choice!  Extra damage resistance would come in handy against getting shot with that low body and a "Geek the mage first" mentality going around.

That's a rather low charisma for a shaman.  Might want to take some points from reaction/agility to beef that up, can't ever have enough drain resist.  Would also help with Bear in resisting the berserking since he/she (it?) already has a substantial willpower would make it 1 dice short of the player trying to justify buying hits for it.  Would also be useful for mitigating the chances of Social Stress-induced Etiquette glitches seeing as how Etiquette is already very low.

Shaman's don't have access to fire spirits in the tradition so I don't know if that affinity would be useful.  Maybe beasts instead since that's the combat version (unless it's more a fear of the burnies from said elementals).

Ugh, where the...wait, this isn't the Critique forums!  Every time a statline is shown....
