Missions Legal (for Season 5) Single Page, two sides.

Little project I've been working on based on input from Con players/GMs. I've got several other builds of assorted metatypes and archetypes, but I figured I throw a few out for any other input. I'm looking for format or information you would want on a Pre-gen sheet. If there was ever a "...man I wish X was on these..." moment let me know and I'll try and fit it in.

And let me know about the front page... too much? Too little? Straight to the numbers or add more fluff?

The artwork is all grabbed off the internet, I make no claim to it. The character sheet is edited from chummer.

Take the TM Off. TM are the opposite or newbie friendly.  Swap with with good ol'fashioned cyber-arm combat decker.

I like the Shaman, but i'd recommend swapping away from coyote, you don't want newbies confused about combat by some kind die roll saying they have to go a different way.

Orc Samurai- is basically fine I think your getting overly cleaver cyberware wise, using Reaction enhancers and the getting a die from synaptic accelerator is inefficient and just kinda weird way to go about it.

Troll Face is fine, 6 edge goes a long way to solves a run's little issues.

IS Code like a boss missions legal? Their weird rulings that some Codes are ok and others are not always gets me confused.

I like the front pages fine, and the art generally works imo.

Hobbes:
Their will be a Rigger, and there will be a TM Pre-gen.  People want to play them.  I have a Decker w/Cyberarm build I haven't gotten it formatted and pretty yet. I'll eventually have several more of these posted, but wanted a bit of feedback on some "Proof of Concept" examples.

Mentor Spirits and disads... Coyote seemed pretty tame.  No restriction on self-defense, no problem with using illusions to set up an ambush.  Really just "No Frontal Assault" at least by my reading, I'm open to other interpretations.

I'll double check "Like a Boss" I thought I had the Missions Restrictions checked in Chummer, thanks.

Edge 6 Face... I love the Mrs. Myth pre-gen, but it's 1 Edge.  A couple Missions GMs have said, "Give newbies more edge" and my experience matches.  I tried hard to get all these to at least 3 edge.

Ork Sami... I'm not sure any tweaks to the 'ware result in a significantly better outcome...?  14+2d6 is a nice bell curve for 3 actions.  Don't have the essence for wired, don't have the Nuyen for Synaptic Acceleration...would need to do considerable tweaking to get "better".  If I get time I'll take another look, but maximal optimization wasn't really the goal.  I mean, 3 actions, hits like a truck and tanks pretty well, and artwork from an Iconic Shadowrun artist?  Not sure what else you'll need  :  ) 

Marcus:
I don't have serious effect issue with the Sami, stat wise it works fine.

As a side note you may want to consider swapping away from guns into melee weapons as we begin the transition into neo-tokyo.

If you insist on having a TM, then I'd just keep it strictly pet method, and add more drugs for more options. Pet method lets the GM handle it a little more, and gives the player the old team work options to help out with their pools. Add some light combat drugs, and maybe some social drugs, and at-least give a little more to do at the table.

ShadowcatX:
For the Ork I do not believe you can purchase the full body helmet (or the chemical sealing) without the full body armor, they are additions to the body armor not entries in and of themselves.
