Hi, it's me again.
My game taking form, I spoke with the players to get an idea of what they would like to play as character (all of them are completely new to Shadowrun).
One of my player was having a pretty good concept, and she wanted to focus mainly on crafting (armorer, etc.), having a shop, making somewhat of a living from it (probably getting the Day Job and SINer negative qualities) and would be running the shadows in order to get money to assure her kid a somewhat decent future existence.
She told me that during the runs, she would like to act as "the man in the chair", providing support this way, and being the wheels of the team. Possibly the medic too, but not on the field directly. She mentionned investing some points in contacts too.
Problem is : she doesn't want to be a hacker, or deal with the Matrix in general (so that also leaves rigging out), or be a mage/shaman, etc. She doesn't want to be a "combat" driver either (so an occasionnal car chase would be alright I guess, but she is no pilot). I'm kinda struggling to find things to do for her when the other people would actually be doing the run. I mean, it would be pretty hard to coordinate a team without using the Matrix or drones in order to get visuals etc. She doesn't want to be a sniper either. I guess she could be very useful during downtime and legwork, but I'm afraid she won't have anything to do besides "I'm sitting in the car and waiting for them to get out" for a session or two when the run actually begins.
So far the team seems to be : Her, a gun-adept, a combat mage, and a troll bouncer of some kind. Do you have any suggestion of what I could do to have her occupied during the run ?
