It might be because im looking at it through a smartphone but I can barely read that format.  Other than that it looks okay, what did you use to build her?  Priority or Sum2Ten or Karmagen?

You have ultra high Agility but extremely low Reaction and Intuition (not to mention that your ini calculation seems off)
That will severely affect your options in combat (not to mention your defense)
 
But especially the low Intuition will crimp your style significantly as a hacker.
Small Unit Tactics also hinge on INT (Although I welcome a second character with that knowledge skill for a bit of synergy)

She's not really a hacker, it's more about combat options and tactics.  But yeah I just didn't have the points spread.  I figure I'll probably use edge in combat until I get better at that stuff.

The format looks better here. https://blerg.obsidianportal.com/characters/elven-tactician

Relying on Edge is very dangerous in this campaign.
Maybe it's just Kynos' charming personality, but the opposition so far was pretty brutal. Especially the low defense might cause you some frustration.

But I get it if you want to play a certain concept - I just wanted to share some insights and experiences with a soon to be fellow player  :)

I attempt to scale the opposition to challenge you, so far I am not sure I even caused Kynos to bleed. ;)
Sometimes it is difficult as well a challenge to one is a death threat to another, but I got the impression of tough opposition form more than one character.

Yeah I would say unless you are just focusing on bricking guns and cyber for your decking skills you are going to be rather underpowered in other scenarios.  I don't know what Jack means about defense though.  Do you mean Firewalls?  I think it makes for an okay Face/razorgirl with a twist, you might be spreading yourself a bit thin though.

Hey, are you still recruiting? I'm completely new in the Play-by-Post format so anything I should know before I sign?

I had this Combat Medic character for some time that I wanted to play so I guess this is a good opportunity. Build with Sum to Ten : B - Attributes; B - Skills; B - Resources; D - Human; E - Magic.

For the backstory I will try to keep it simple :

He worked as a combat medic for more than 20 years in the UCAS military. Disgusted with the growing corruption and seeing soldiers dying not to protect their country but the interests of whatever corporation was pulling the string at that time he tried to stand up. Of course he wasn't able to do anything and has to stand down for that. Through his contacts he managed to get a job in Lone Star for some years until he finally decided to stop the military life. With the recent mess he quickly realized that it's still too early for him to retire and he is back to defend his country, but this time not in the military who had let him down but from the shadows.

The character sheet is in the attachments. Tell me if there is anything wrong, I still have 14 Contact points to distribute because I'm not sure what will be useful.

@gilga

I'm not complaining (But Kynos did in fact get a nose bleed... from when the drugs stopped working  ;D ), but I'd hope that this time the characters have a chance to interact with each other for greater periods of time  ;)

@Stuttrboy
I meant defense as in "defense during a gun fight" as it was my impression that the character with high agi and boosted strength is meant to participate in meat space battles.

Like I said, I'll try to get you more of a group like runs. I think having everyone follow a different agenda was a bit too much to be sustainable.

Is there a defense skill that lets you dodge bullets?  I admit i'm new to 5th ed and so is ennui what defense do you mean?

It boils down to roll Reaction + intuition Vs the attack.

There are interrupts actions that boost your defense in exchange for initiative (full defense and so forth). and there are some spells/adept powers and augmentations that give additional bonuses.

I figured that's what he meant.  I dont see how to tighten it up though.  I suppose I could invest in some more drugs to supplement reaction boosting with edge.  But im happy to listen to any suggestions on how to tighten her up.

Well, for one thing, you are spending a lot of money to raise your attributes with ware, when you could instead lower your wealth and increase attributes.
If you are up for drug use, you could invest in a relatively cheap narco geneware and use medical grade Kamikaze for +3 STR +2 AGI +2 BOD +2 WIL and +2d6 Ini

@Kuirem
That's quite a lot of drugs your character has on hand... Nice  ;)
