right guys, I wanted to try and build a TM i'd actually be happy playing after reading all the recent TM posts on here and the dwarf bashing going on in the meta thread on the general board.
It got me to thinking, how to actually make something other than the bog standard human TM guy. Took a bit of working out but here's what i've got for a dwarf TM.
I like the dwarf as a meta for this archetype as it allows 2 living persona stats at R6. that and exceptional attribute builds a decent statline to work from and the dwarf bonuses means I don't need to worry about dumpstatting too much on the physical side of things. Plus i get thermo vision for free saving 500NY lol.

Obviously this guy is hurting for skills somewhat, and his edge isn't exactly fantastic but he should have enough skills to perform well enough at his main roles. Disguise is a replacement for sneak, given his high INT and crappy REA.
I'm not sold on many of the CF's tbh, any feedback from seasoned TM players?
obviously he's no good in combat, but the machine pistol means he can slam some suppressive fire down-range and actually be kinda helpful to the team when he runs out of enemy guns to brick
