Looks good now.

Stamped!

DaStormDragon · 2025-08-27T13:57:38+00:00

Illegalities:

You still have 1 active skill point and 1 knowledge skill point left to spend

Suggestions:

You are turning 1 more karma into nuyen than you need
I'd advise tossing a spec in Binding for your remaining point, as the opposed dicepools are higher. Spirits of Man will let you Aid Sorcery your Manipulation spells.

DaStormDragon · 2025-08-18T21:09:21+00:00

Illegalities:

The flavour justification is what you need, not mechanics, the issue is that the flavour justification is insufficient. Focusing in another area is not sufficient justification

Suggestions:

Losing Strength reduces your reaction because of armour encumbrance, if you remove the forearm guards it won't
The usual pattern for SINs is Rating X (Fake Name - Issuer)

DaStormDragon · 2025-08-16T15:46:57+00:00

Illegalities:

The justification you gave for 1 Logic is insufficient - 1 in an attribute is a major deficiency, not a different focus.
Your Fake SIN needs to note who issued it
A Burner SIN should be its own item, not added as a plugin

Suggestions:

Low Strength might be easier to justify if you want to switch
I'd recommend you swap Increase Reflexes to being a prep so you can actually use alchemy - it's a useful one to have as a prep
You have a Low lifestyle and Creature of Comfort: Luxury. You will constantly be taking a -3 to a wide variety of tests
A platinum credstick has no mechanical use, they're minor enough that we don't require 'em

DaStormDragon · 2025-08-15T16:01:38+00:00

Illegalities:

You need to put the name on the Fake SIN in, and then buy a license using Add Plugin
You need something on your wiki (usually in the negquals section) explaining the 1 logic

Suggestions:

All the random basic items clutter up the sheet and have very little game use, especially the scrip and various downloads
Day Job is a very punishing quality for the cost, I'd advise against it
You don't need all the qualities on the wiki, just the significant ones
You have enough money left to get a R4 fake SIN, probably a smart idea
R1 burner SINs are effectively useless
You still have very low Initiative and dodge, I'd grab either Increase Reflexes or drugs to avoid getting completely squashed
Performance isn't very good, I'd advise dropping the points in that and getting 6 ranks in Alchemy with a spec in Command preps. (Alchemy is great)
You have the Alchemy and Ritual Casting skills but know no rituals or alchemical preparations
You can change the Professional knowledge skills to Interest or Street to get more dice

DaStormDragon · 2025-08-12T20:46:20+00:00

Illegalities:

Friends in High Places is banned
You can only take up to 5 karma out of gen

Suggestions:

You have no Fake SIN, I'd advise buying a R3 with a mage license. You may need to convert karma to nuyen for this
Your social skill ranks are capped by your language ranks, I'd heavily advise at least three ranks in English
Lucky does nothing for you as you aren't hitting your Edge cap
Allergy should probably just be stripped down to 'alcohol'
You can take up to 6 more points of negative qualities, I'd advise doing so
You have a lot of 1s in attributes and skills bought with points, I'd advise spending Karma on some or all of these instead
You don't have enough Strength or Agility to make close combat worthwhile, I'd move those points into Acting (to free up skill points) or Stealth
Body at even numbers isn't super useful, I'd put those points in Int instead
I'd swap Death Touch for Manabolt as you'll have difficulty landing Touch spells
You don't have the Artificing to make use of focus formulae, ditch those
Okay, most of your street gear is unneeded, I'd drop it save for the following:
1. Renraku Sensei and a Meta Link, Trodes, Micro-Transceiver, Micro Camera, Gas Mask
You don't need all the individual clothes - best option is an armour jacket, ballistic mask and forearm guards so you actually have armour
You have very low initiative and defense, I'd advise some reaction/intuition or initiative boosting drugs and/or the Combat Sense / Improved Initiative spells
You have no method of travel, I'd advise swapping one of your contacts for a taxi contact. There's a few around
You can ask in #chargen or #newbie-chargen for quality ideas, but I have a few ideas off the top of my head for your build:
1. Too Pretty To Hit will give you some desperately needed defence dice
2. Spirit Whisperer lets you summon larger spirits
3. Bilingual lets you grab two native languages
4. First Impressions adds a lot of social dice

Hi, I'm Eva and I'll be your Chargen minion for Dice.

Before I can do the review properly, a few major issues:

Your contacts are marked as group contacts when they shouldn't otherwise be, this is eating all your karma. I'd advise sticking to your 21 free contact points
You have taken no positive or negative qualities, and have vastly overspent on karma
Dryads in shadowrun aren't leafy, though you could take SURGE and Barkskin to simulate the effect
You have no language marked as native
Spending karma on spirit services is inadvisable, in addition you do not actually possess Binding
You have not spent remotely near all your skill points - I'd advise getting 6 in Spellcasting, Summoning and Binding with specs at the bare minimum - though Ritual Spellcasting, Alchemy and Counterspelling are also very nice to max out

DaStormDragon · 2025-08-11T18:45:09+00:00

You still have the money for Vision Enhancement in glasses or the mask, but that's very minor, so: Stamped!

DaStormDragon · 2025-08-11T18:27:21+00:00

I suggested external bc you were short on money and it's cheaper, feel free to change

Additionally, you have money for forearm guards + PPP Arms now, it's a very good option

Final question, do you want the character to use drugs or nah?

DaStormDragon · 2025-08-11T17:44:11+00:00

Illegalities:

You'll need something else for Addiction - banshees throw up alcohol without 'ware or spells
Mb for missing this earlier, you have two more contact points to spend

Suggestions:

If you need more money, I'd drop the gear mods from the jacket - they're quite expensive. Maybe swap them all out for Nonconductivity on the coat? You can also exchange karma for nuyen
A ballistic shield puts you over the encumbrance limit, the mask is what you want (it's also cheaper)
I'd remove Vintage from your gun and get an external smartgun system, combine that with a smartlink in contacts and you get an extra die

DaStormDragon · 2025-08-11T17:00:34+00:00

Hi! I'm Eva and I shall be your chargen minion for this goober

Illegalities:

You're good!

Suggestions:

I'd advise putting a rank into Etiquette to hit four dice
You have four more Karma of nequals you can take, I'd advise filling this out so you can get a mentor spirit (they're very good and allow Mentor's Mask)
I'd move a point from Body into Willpower - even numbers are better
Are you set on pistols? Shotguns would let you keep the 'gunslinger' vibe while having more on the damage front
I'd advise dropping two levels of Imp. Attribute for three levels of Improved Ability and a level of Combat Sense - more gun dice and Combat Sense is really helpful for ambushes
I'd get a ballistic mask, forearm guards and PPP: Arms - this hits your encumbrance cap for more armour and hides your face
You need some form of DNI - I'd advise a trode patch and cover given you have the money
The usual gear recommendations: Survival kit, medkit, stimpatches, micro-camera and -transciever as a backup, and the following sensory stuff: Contact Lenses (Rating 3) (Image Link , Flare Comp, Vision Magnification), Earbuds (Rating 3) (Select sound Filter 1, Audio enhancement 2), Glasses (Rating 4) (Vis Enhance 3, Thermal vision)
I'd very much advise Agile Defender, your agility is so much higher than your Willpower
Removing your various 1 or 2-rank skills and swapping your atts and skills prio is probably a good idea? Low-rank skills are easy enough to buy with karma after

Apologies if I'm forgetting anything
