Hi, I was thinking about creating a cybered freerunner with hydraulic jacks in her cyberlegs.

This is a core idea about the character, so my priorities are:
A - Resources (because cyberlegs are expensive).
B - Skills (36|5)
C - Attributes (16)
D - Meta (Human 3)
E - Magic (Mundane)
While switching resources to C or even D priority to get attributes and skills higher allows me to create a better infiltrator, that was not the point. I'm making a runner who can jump 18 meters and fall down 10 meters without even breaking a sweat (or neck). For her, running is a natural way to deal with things.

Well, that is it I guess. Critique welcome.

ehhh
I really think attributes C is stopping you from getting where you want to be with this char.
You've dumped a huge wad of cash into cyber to boost stats and its only really got you back to where you were if you'd taken attributes at a higher level of priority.
With some tweaks, you should be able to afford the cyberlegs at resources C (+10 karma for another 20k). taking attribs as priority A gets you 8 more attrib points so you could get something like:

BOD 5 (+4)
STR 5 (+4)           24/24
AGI 5 (+4)
REA 5 (+4)
CHA 3 (+2)
INT 3 (+2)
LOG 3 (+2)
WIL 3 (+2)


dropping your cyber ears and getting a decent set of heaphones with the mods in them for 2500 would save a stack of cash, you wouldn't need the muscle augs
olfactory booster can go too and you wont need a lot of the other stuff.
the karma you'd pumped into boosting stats can go into the parkour martial art and extra skills + contacts too.

[Medicineman]

and one more Idea to ponder about :
Switch Magic to D (Adept) and E for Human.
You loose 2 Pts Edge, yes, but You have the Chance to Awaken later ingame. If You save enough Karma You can get MAG2 , Initiate twice and become a cybered Parkour Adept. It can turn out to become  quite an interesting story Arc if You awaken Ingame.....

@Medicineman: Awakening in game is quite an interesting idea but I thought that dropping magic to zero means that you cannot use magic forever. Maybe I got this wrong.
@Csjarrat: Dropping resources means no more Synthcardium R3 and no Balance Augmentation, but maybe I can go for used 'ware to drop the price. I'll look into it, thanks for an advice.

[Csjarrat]

you can get the balance augmenter implanted into your normal ears for 0.1 ESS, so you don't need the full cyber ear package for that. Used grade saves a bit of cash and wont hurt the essence much at all
Balance Augmenter 0.1 [4] 8 8,000¥

[ZeldaBravo]

Hmm, if I switch all of my bioware to USED grade, drop an olfactory booster and cyberears then I'll have enough cash to get my toner and muscle augmenter to R3 and install R2 reaction enhancers. This will let me to keep all of my toys and to get some extra stats, higher initiative and a physical limit of 7(! And if I shuffle attributes a bit I can get a better physical damage tracker too. Nice.

What do you think?

[Csjarrat]

looks better but if you swapped your priorites around you could have your starting point be 5/6 for those physical stats, with the cyber boosts taking them to maybe 7/8

@Medicineman: Awakening in game is quite an interesting idea but I thought that dropping magic to zero means that you cannot use magic forever. Maybe I got this wrong.

IIRC you only burn out if your max magic drops to zero, could be wrong though.

I've finally decided to complete this character. Here's the chummer5-made PDF.

Easy. Chummer5 is programmed to buy skills in the most efficient way. In this case, instead of spending skill points on Con 2 and Etiquette 1, then buying Etiquette up to 3 for 10 karma, it spend all 3 points on Etiquette, then bought Con 2 for 6 karma.

[ZeldaBravo]

Thanks! I missed that one.

[Marcus]

Goodness ZB, a neo-nazi Leggie assassin?
Maybe Tae-kwan do for all the kick maneuvers?
I agree with Csjarrat, and I think that looks solid
Otherwise I like it.

[ZeldaBravo]

Thanks!
I must say that neo-nazi are the ones she's prejudiced against, she's a neo-anarchist.

Ahh that makes much more sense. I misunderstood sorry.
