I just got my numbers cross-wise.  Didn't even see that you had an Auto-picker, Herr Brackhaus.  Hardware looks like a solid choice.  I'll probably re-work my skills in that direction, and may or may not drop the 1 point in Locksmith -- I have a hard time imagining an infiltrator that has 0 ranks in that particular skill.

What book has extended mags in it?  I'm guessing a Concealability mod is in order?  Chaim is probably still better off using Leadership in most situations, but it never hurts to be able to throw some lead downrange. 

@CraterShip, I neglected to bring up your comment about School of Hard Knocks and College Education.  I did a scan through Run Faster with the ol' Control F, and couldn't find any limitations there.  It fits with Chaim's back story, and it's 8 karma to get a bunch of Knowledge Skills more cheaply, but if you'd rather I drop 1, I have no problems with that.  It would get me a little closer to Blandness, which I didn't have the Karma for.

Hard Targets has the extended magazines, and a few other choice mods including chameleon coating and stock removal. Rating 1 Extended Mag costs 35¥ and adds 50% more rounds and adds +1 to concealability, while the Rating 2 costs the same and adds 100% more rounds but adds +2 to concealability.

I've got a single spare clip for the AK-97 and 4 extended ones with 76 rounds in each, that way I can keep the conealability low and just swap to a high-cap mag when necessary.

And yeah, you have the same issue I have; I'm having a hard time with an infiltrator without the hardware skill, but I just can't find the points for it, so something has to give.

I noticed that I'd forgotten to pay for the electronic parts to modify my commlink, so I've swapped some gear around. Dropped the winch on the truck and the gas mask, got the electronic parts, a few micro-cameras, and a bug scanner. I also swapped the martial arts technique for Counterstrike, as 7 karma for a +1 dice to block just isn't worth it. Finally, updated the knowledge skills after ditching Small Unit Tactics. I think that's the final revision, and I've updated the chummer file in the character post.

Alright, sounds like you've got him solidified. Glad to see these are coming along, I'd like to get final revisions done and posted, then start the ooc thread to put em all in one easy to access place. I'll put it together when it's time, for now, can I get an initial roll call on who is still here and a status/ eta on ready to post finalized character? Thanks everyone!

Still here and chipping away. My goal is to have things firmed up this weekend. I have family in town tomorrow and Fathers' Day on Sunday, so it might not be until Sunday night.

I have a little man too! I also have Chummer issues! Which can only mean one thing: that I've finally had my psychotic break and gwilym is my Tyler Durden. I was hoping that he/I would be more handsome and less inclined to spend time on the internet, but here I/we am/are.

Regarding Chummer, I'm finding that the new code base (v180 and later) is not doing a good job of being backwards compatible. If you make a sheet in v180, don't upgrade to v181 because it might not recognize/accept the v180 .chum file. I've restarted my build three times as a result. I'm hoping that the code base gets more stable soon, but I'm almost too afraid to download new versions to test them. I will once I get this PC finalized.

Now, the toughest part: picking a PC name.

Amri-Doi? That's not in the books either, so no wonder it's not in the Chummer Martial Arts section...

Ahh, Ameri-do-te. Here I thought gwilym was making drek up or, worse, speaking Welsh. Ameri-do-te is the sister martial art to Rex Kwon Do.

The first 60 seconds of this are a good summary: https://youtu.be/3CGMWlXosp4?t=1m53s

When you are posting, click the blue + that says "Attachments and other options" underneath the text window. That will give you some additional options, including attaching a file.

It won't let you attach a .chum file, fearing it to be dangerous. If you manually change the extension from .chum to .txt it should work. I think this is what Herr did earlier.
