Strange thought, if you ask me... What is wrong with tons of
cybermods and magical skills? That's what shadowrun is
all about...(aside from the roleplaying itself)
Runners have to own very special talents, eather cyber or magic (or
rigging, or decking.....). It's their job.
They are no ordinary guys. They are the elite.

And before another one calls me munch... having a powerful
character is certailnly not munchkinism... my characters have always
been extremely powerful, but nevertheless I'm a roleplayer, no
powergamer.
