Don't worry too much about the chummer files, as long as I have a readable sheet for your character I should be able to work it out. If need be, I can try to recreate them in my chummer files, but a PDF would still be best of course. Thanks for keeping at it guys!
gwilym: either archetype could work just fine. I would personally lean towards cat cause I like stealthy games, but the group may just need the pure muscle of a wolf bounty hunter. Either could work though, so just get a sheet put together and I'll take a look.
initial notes for character sheets i've seen:
Eisa:
Why have blades, clubs, and unarmed combat all at low levels, and with specializations? That is spreading skill points through three barely there melee abilities. You would be better off pooling all those points into a single skill.
You have no ranged ability other than spellcasting, which is fine most of the time, but I would suggest at least pistols or something for when drain gets to be too much to handle.
Very low pools for quite a few skills, would be better off specializing a little more into the few things you want to be good at. As it is, the character is playable, but will likely have few successes with quite a few of the lower skill pools.
I would suggest re-working both knowledge skills and contacts to reflect working in Seattle. I know this was a missions character, in which these would make perfect sense, just a quick rework should be fine.
You have the Home Ground (CZ) and Rad-Tolerant positive qualities, neither of which will likely be any help at all outside of Chicago, could swap these out for other positive qualities, or just remove them and spend the BP elsewhere.
You have a LOT of combat spells that are all pretty similar. I understand the various secondary effects for elemental damage, but I would suggest diversifying a little more outside of combat spells and cut a couple of these. Also, Bug Zapper in manipulation is another one that will not likely come up in Seattle.
For lifestyle, just list which district of Seattle you’re living in e.g. Seattle: Redmond (E District) Low – 1 Month
Orc TM:
Focused Concentration Rating 1 could be useful, but will not help very much, as most Complex Forms will probably want to be sustained at a level higher than 1. Up to you though.
In your skills, you’ve got a ton of points spent on all the usual computer abilities, which is good, but may be able to spread them a bit. As a TM, I would suggest sticking with either Hacking or Cybercombat (as an orc, you’ll probably want to stick with hacking, as cybercombat relies on your CHA for your attack rating). Decompiling is something that will probably never actually be used, as TMs are pretty rare, so could lower that one and move the points to something more useful. With your AGI being so low, your pistols and sneaking skills are sitting at a pool of 3 dice each, I know it’s tough to fit it all in as a TM, but both of those are going to be skills you’ll be using, and you’re unlikely to get more than a single success on any of those tests right now. My suggestion: drop either intimidation or con, just stick with one or the other, drop survival, unarmed combat, and pilot groundcraft entirely. Use the points from those dropped pools to beef up sneaking, pistols, and perception. Also specializations are your friend! Use them for that extra 2 dice for 1 point boost.
You have a ton of complex forms, which is perfectly fine, but may become a little bogged down. Overall, anything that starts with “infuse…” is pretty well useless, as they all require you to sustain them, taking -2D to any other action so long as you are sustaining them. The only sustained complex form I’d suggest would be Diffusion of Firewall, and even that one is pretty iffy. Res Spike, Res Veil, and Transcendent Grid are all good ones, Static Bomb is situational, but could be useful. Stitches is another pretty useless one, as you can always just compile a new Sprite rather than healing the one you’ve already got. I would also suggest adding the Editor CF, as it is a HUGE bonus for TMs to bypass data bombs and deal with data (plus works faster than a decker).
I don’t usually check prices and such too closely, but I did notice you had 2 clips of regular ammo listed at 650 nuyen, which I know is a WAY overpriced. I’m guessing this was a typo? Also, a bit of advice I got building my TM – drop the smartlink and just get a laser sight, you’re spending a TON of that little cash you get to start with on the contacts to get the same bonus the laser sight would give you, plus you’re pretty locked into keeping them wireless, which means they can be bricked.
You’ve got a super high loyalty taxi driver contact, with that, you could probably just bum a ride around whenever needed and get rid of your pilot groundcraft skill.
Eddie:
What exactly is the restricted gear you got for the quality?
Take a minute to list out your fake SINs and Licenses as to what they cover. Also, 5 fake licenses is a bit overkill, usually only need 2-3 (one for your main job, one for your weapon, and maybe one for driving)
I didn’t check the numbers too closely, but otherwise looks pretty straightforward.
