[ImaginalDisc]

Your physical limit is a 5 and your die pools are starting to get high enough to make that an issue.

[ZeConster]

Attribute Boost 4 seems a bit too much - you'll have to soak 4 Drain when it runs out, and the only advantage over having it at rank 2 is having 2 more dice, since there's no limits involved other than your augmented maximum. In addition, only having 1 rank of Improved Ability seems a bit weak, as does not taking Pistols at level 6.

[Warwraith]

If you are going assassin you might want to rethink astral beacon. You'll be like a one man band carrying a neon sign to anyone who has astral perception.

[samoth]

Astral Beacon isn't that bad assuming you use the RAW.  Since it is based on "magical effect's force" which adept powers don't have, it's not clear whether they even leave a signature.  Anyway, if you have Astral Perception you can clean it up after a few complex actions, i.e. a few real life seconds, with no opposed test.
Astral Beacon
The astral signature of a character with the Astral Beacon
quality is like, well, a beacon—highly visible on the astral plane.
The signature also lasts twice as long as
it would without the Astral Beacon quality and others
assensing it receive a –1 to the threshold of their Assensing
Test for gathering information about it. Only
characters with a Magic rating may take this quality.

Astral Signature
Generally, when magicians cast a spell or perform a
ritual, they leave their astral fingerprints on it. This is
called an astral signature, and it’s produced on anything
affected by magic skills or abilities. This astral
signature can be detected by anyone with the assensing
skill. A signature lasts for a number of hours equal
to the magical effect’s Force after the effect (spell,
critter power, astral battle, or whatever it was) ends,
slowly fading into the background. An astral signature
of a spell can be detected both where it was cast and
where it took effect. Semi-permanent objects such as
alchemical preparations and watchers contain an astral
signature while they last. More permanent items
such as foci, lodges, and circles always contain the astral
signature of their owner.
A character can attempt to read an astral signature
with an Assensing + Magic [Astral] 3 Test. This is not
the simplest task, as perceiving and understanding an
astral signature is somewhat difficult amid the mixture
of magic and emotional background of the astral plane.
Once successfully read, a signature can be recognized
again (possibly with a Memory Test, p. 152). Other details
such as the general class of spell or spirit, or the skill
of the magician, can be determined with net hits (see
Assensing p. 142).
A magician using astral perception can “wipe clean”
a temporary astral signature (such as from sorcery) or
hasten its normal fading. A magician can spend a Complex
Action to reduce the amount of time it takes for
the signature to fade by 1 hour (mentally pushing the
signature into the background energy, if you will). No
test is required. This action can be done multiple times
until the astral signature is gone. If the signature is not
completely erased, it will be obvious to others assensing
it that someone tampered with it.
Magical forensic investigators use astral signatures to
gather information about criminal magicians, so be careful
about leaving them behind where they are likely seen.

[Reminder]

Astral Beacon isn't that bad assuming you use the RAW.  Since it is based on "magical effect's force" which adept powers don't have, it's not clear whether they even leave a signature.  Anyway, if you have Astral Perception you can clean it up after a few complex actions, i.e. a few real life seconds, with no opposed test.

If that was your interpretation, as a GM I wouldn't even allow you to take the negative quality.

That being said, I am only counting 22 attribute points. You have 2 more attribute points to spend (probably into rea or int).

I am not sure why you are putting 5 points into arcana. If you drop it to 1 (I am guessing you are thinking about initiation or something), put the four points you save into replacing your free rating 4 skill, then swap priorities B and D, you come out with the same magic rating and two more edge points, which are very valuable, for the low cost of one rating 4 skill.

A rank or three into stealth wouldn't be a bad idea.

Heavy pistols are nice to use. On an already low skill point build, you may be better off just using a machine pistol when you want to conceal it and increase your automatics skill to 6(+specialization) since again, shooting things is a gunslinger adept's main function. That also better focuses your use of improved ability with adept skills. Or at least max one of the two out and focus on it.

One of the main reasons to take a gunslinger adept generally is improved ability:(whatever firearm). I am not sure why you dropped it.

I am not sure how valuable rapid healing and spell resistance are on qi foci, since you have to take a simple action to activate them. Unless your gm lets you always fully scout and get the drop on enemies, you often aren't going to know the mage is there until you have already had to resist the opening spell. Likewise, the rapid healing may only help during downtimes, as it also requires you to take an action before receiving healing from another group member, and if you are unconscious, you have no way to activate it at all (Also, the quick healer quality gives you the same effective bonus as the force 4 foci while saving you karma, nuyen, and it also applies to tests you make to heal others). Attribute boost on the other hand works quite well on qi tattoos. Wall running probably even works better.

As currently written, kinesics does very little.

Your knowledge skills aren't knowledge skills; they are contacts.

Paying for two years of a docwagon contract at chargen is really unnecessary. Assuming your character even lives that long, a year, under what many consider standard run pacing, is 25 or so runs.

You probably want a set of trodes (otherwise its going to be hard to use your contacts) and maybe a simmod on the comlink.

Since your focus is shooting guns, you may want to buy more ammo.

Your physical limit is 5(7): +1 from improved potential, and +1 effective from the 2 reaction points you gain

Thank you both for your input.
