« on: <06-05-16/0500:59> »
Had posted about this base idea a LONG time ago. Was more geared to be general face, now they are more focused on the disguise thing. Intention is to never walk into a meet with the same face twice, cycling between Ethnicities, Male/Female, Hurman/Elf/Ork as needed. Gear is broken down by where it's stored in hero lab I'm not sure how well that will translate to the board post.

Thoughts? Questions?

I know you're going covert ops over face, but etiquette is the "fitting in" skill.

If you can squeeze in 4 Karma somewhere, the linguist quality has a good synergy with the adept power linguistics.  Especially with all of the languages you have taken for your character, since the quality lets you purchase them at a 2-for-1 rate at character creation.

The liar quality, on the other hand, is a trap option.  The mechanics of the flaw make it a horrible one to take, especially for a character concept that depends on lying to NPCs on a regular basis.  You should definitely drop it.

The linguist quality  is something I'd forgotten existed. actually freed up a bunch of Karma from buying up languages. Working out edits now.

If only it were legal. I'll have to make due with a disguise shop and producing breastplates like what present day drag performers use. Not really planning on playing up that aspect of the idea, but its still there.

If this is for Missions, you're wasting a lot of money on multiple vehicles, burners and 3x Fake SIN 4s with lifestyles.

You really only need 1 Lifestyle for everyday non-Shadowrunner purposes, which should be medium or High and with enough skill you can fake being anything else. And not every SIN needs to be a Rating 4. You really only need one SIN to pay the bills, which should have your lifestyle and such. And a SIN you run when doing work, along with a burner when in a pinch.

You could trade 1-2 points of Body for Reaction. Unless you get the ideal group, combat is going to happen so you should be prepared for it. Not every table of Shadowrun Missions is a Black Trenchcoat or Mirror Shades.

You really don't need 3 vehicles for a Face/Infiltrator character, in Missions at least.

You are seriously lacking knowledge skills. It seems like your character doesn't know anything. With the Linguistics Adept Power, you can use downtime to pick up Linguasofts and pretty much get EVERY Language at Rating 1 without spending Karma. Use some of those Knowledge skill points for actual knowledge. You cannot really "Infiltrate" any place without knowing anything about security measures or recognizing threats.

This.  MIssions are typically pretty simple games.  Infiltration and Impersonation are pretty specialized.   The written missions don't offer many opportunities for such characters.  They're there, but only come up every now and then. 

I would also recommend taking contacts from the Missions contact list found here:

Well let me start this by laying out the priorities:

Attributes: A
Skills B
Resources: C
Magic D
Metatype: E

Why did I waste money on SINs, Lifestyles, and Vehicles? I had money to waste.

Could I trade ¥90,000 for +1 Magic and Edge?  Sure, but given the intention of the character I had a hard enough time Filling out 3 power points of adept abilities. I've played ~30 dicepool characters. It wasn't that interesting.

As for missions games being simple with little chance for specialization why play anything but a Gun Bunny, since combat is the only guaranteed event in a Missions game?

You are seriously lacking knowledge skills. It seems like your character doesn't know anything.

I agree I got caught up in knowing how to speak a few languages well vs having other knowledge skills.
