Sorry for the lack of prettiness on the sheet. Away from my normal computer, and didn't really feel like writing everything in by hand. This is just a little thought experiment, what are your guys thoughts?

I initially balked at the Attributes E but it actually looks pretty solid.

I'd worry less about doing much in the meat just because you have no IP enhancement options.

Why'd you go the Muscle Replacement route over just a good cyberarm or two that could add Armor? For Limits?

Thanks. I usually don't like the idea of Attributes E either, but deckers are one of the few archetypes that can pull it off.

Eh, I would keep meat interactions to a minimum. Most of the stuff is just so that I can at least function, if necessary.

Why'd you go the Muscle Replacement route over just a good cyberarm or two that could add Armor? For Limits?

A few reasons.

1) I find cyberlimbs way too damn expensive for what they give.
2) Limits.
3) It doesn't change the actual stat, so if I had Agility 1, for example, I would be really bloody slow.
4) Dice pools. Sure, everything done with that arm can be really good, but everything else is going to be god awful.

I tend to find cyberlimbs a complete waste in SR5, as you still need Attribute investment to make them worthwile. Also, Muscle Replacement is a fantastic way to boost Attributes; that plus Reaction Enhancers is about the only reason why you can go Attributes E. I like Cyberlimbs on tank builds, simply because you can some ridiculous Soak pools. They also aren't half bad for a lot of other archetypes; I just tend to not like them on Deckers.
