Ok, just two quick questions and a comment:

1) For curiosities sake, how many Karma was he?

2) How did you get 4D6 init. with only wired level 2? Is this a typo, or
did I miss something?

Overall, this is not a character I'd want to take on... Exgcept MAYBE with
a street sammy that I've played only a few times. It was the second
character I'd made, and it was after three years of playing an Ork deacker
in a Role Playing (not Roll) intensive game, so I munchkinised him to see
how he'd turn out. I managed to pull off, leagally, a 17 +4d6 for a
starting init...:) Just my thoughts, though...:)

If Dagda Mor has hidden his life in him like might be suspected, I'd say
Logan's Prime is yet to come. ;o) For the rest of you folks, Logan is
currently MIA.

Also I have a feeling by saying this was in his prime, the stats listed
don't include the Cortex Bomb from the UCAS, the missing left forearm
and hand, the cyber replacement right hand, or the removed Muscle
Replacment. ;o) j/k

Ok, an Ork has a racial maxg of 5. My GM let me round the 1.5 above max up
to 8 by spending double karma. Alsoi have a cerebral booster and an
encephelon (Not sure off hand of the name... I always get it mixed up, but
it's cyber that boosts intelligence. Also, he could concievably reach a 16
with an increase cybered attribute 4 spell locked or quickened onto him...
That's my next goal...:) By himself, though, he is as smart as an ork can
possibly get. He's a decker, though, so...:)

It's a typo, at the time he was handed over to me Logan had 14+3d6

>I spent ALOT of Karma, don't know how much over 200 I know that

Logan probably had run a grand total of 220-230 karma at the time he was
handed over to me. No one (but me) knows his outcome, he's currently
MIA. Logan could be dead, he could be a pawn for the UCAS (thanx to
their cortex bomb), he could be just hiding out, or he could be a puppet
carrying the hidden life of a sorcerous free shadow spirit of the
released totem Tyranny...

Just curious if this is with bio/cyber augmentation as well since 1.5 x
Racial Maximum would be 7 (rounded down, 5+2).

<grin> Catch my other post, I explain it... And I was able to
con/bribe/beg my GM into letting me round that up, and yes, with both bio
and cyber... I'm currently working on Magic...:)

If you'd posted this one six months ago, he might have been a very good
candidate for inclusion in NERPS: Edge Runners...
