Imho, they are designed to fight. To fight whichever opposition,
magical, spirits, mundanes, vehicles, critters, whatever.

different games, different characters, but as I see the sammi, all of
the attributes are part of the character type. Sammies are in
extremely good physical and psychical shape... and are a bit weak
with the skills. with other characters, it's the other way round.
"strong, stupid samurai" and "intelligent, weak decker" is totally
against the way I see shadowrun. Sr has the most flexible character
generation system I know.

*Grin* of course you can't have too many attributes at level 6 at the
beginning, but willpower and body have first priority as far as I am
concerned. The cyber and bioware will take care of the other
attributes.
