In short you seem underpowered in the game you might want to get at least 250k money to primp up with cyberware and the like to boost your physical capabilities. Or take an Adept and get a few powers to help you.<br/><br/>And I for one would get more armor layer it up some you ,if a tank sort, should go for the tanks sort maybe not as fast as a cybergunslinger or such but fast enough with actions and armored up enough to be a pain to kill.<br/><br/>Just my observations thats all.<br/><br/>My character for example is no fighter by in the Matrix she has speed and options making her a tough one there, but for a hacker that is to be expected.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>He doesn't need to get dodge, really.  Unless you sacrifice an action, dodge only works in melee, and he can always use his combat axe to parry if he's in melee combat.  Dodge is more for when you want to go total defense, or if he needed to defend against a melee attack and didn't have his axe ready.<br/><br/>Adept isn't an option with bioware/cyberware unless you have insane amounts of points to spend.  Every point of Essence you lose, or fraction thereof, lowers your Magic rating by a point as well.<br/><br/>Armor I'll agree with.  Cmdr, do you have Arsenal?  May want to look at Form-Fitting Body Armor.  Wired Reflexes would do wonders for you as well, to give you more initiative passes.  That's assuming that you have the nuyen for it all, though.
