Ok so a friend ask me to generate the toughest Adept I could with the new magic book.
Personally I think the build untenable, mentals are just to low to be really functional. if I was actually making something like this for play I'd probably go Elf(3) instead of Orc(0), mostly to round it out and make it a little less one trick pony, but what do ya'll think? Try again? Right track?

You might want to consider buying some of the last three skills at a lower rating (1 or 2), so you can start out with the automatics skill at 6.  You might want to move a point from Logic or Charisma to Willpower, then buy it back up to 2 with 10 Karma.  I don't think the build is unsalvageable, but I don't generally have a problem with taking 2's in appropriate Attributes, both for effectiveness and roleplaying (low-Strength face or hacker, muscle type with low Logic and Charisma but at least average Intuition and Willpower, etc.).

Sorry to say that but it has already been stated that Improved Reflexes were not meant to be on the list of 'prefered' powers for the beast way.
Check out this thread and that post.

Oh I already read it. But I haven't seen  a doc released called Street Grimoire Errata yet. When I do I'll make that change.

But... but... they put out errata so frequently!  You could have to change your character tomorrow!

LOL I'm assuming this is tongue in cheek, and mostly just having a good laugh.

But interest of not making an @ss out of you and me, my official response is:
This was made as a favor for a friend, I don't have any deep attachment to it.  When errata is released I'll consider the full text of said errata
and if this is still unresolved between myself and my friend, I'll make the changes. Years of gaming has taught me taking errata
uncollected is more often a mistake then not. If the final errata matches exactly the posted thread I'd most likely simply change out a 20 point perk for a 14 point perk and a 5 pt perk
The net result of which would be the lose of .5 power points and net gain of 1 karma. In grand scheme of things It doesn't give me any deep concern.
