So, I built my street merc on the premise that he is the team's tank. His design has everything that he needs to make him tough as a coffin nail.
Titanium Bone Lace, Orthoskin 3, Toughness, BOD 5...all this making him the equivalent of BOD 9 vs damage. Which is impressive...for a Human.
Or, of course, he could just have been an unaugmented Ork for 20BP.
I'm not trying to munchkin him, but it's a 500BP campaign - we are supposed to be a fairly elite team of specialists. His character's specialty is taking hits so that the soft squishy team mates don't have to.
Seems like, other than oppressive discrimination and a heavily truncated life expectancy, it is a no brainer to drop the 20BP for a 60% boost in BOD and STR. Actually, as he already has some impulse control issues, I could even make him a Hobgoblin.
Anyway...not so much a question as I guess looking for feedback/constructive criticism. Seems silly to dedicate so much of his BP and Essence to being tough, if he's just going to stack up as average to an Ork Street Samurai...
Or am I over thinking this?
