If you like using the points based system, then I would suggest using it,
but with less than the starting 100 points. 75 sounds about right,
depending on the age of the character..
I would also likely limit skills to level 4, and require heavy
justification for any cyberware a person may have. The secretary may have
a datajack, but why does the plumber have a hand spur? You could also
limit starting cash to 200K.. I limited it to 400K in my new game -- ended
up with some characters with higher skills and attributes, but most still
had a large amount of 'stuff', too.
Another thing, if these people have proper employment, they should also
need to have a permanent address, which would mean a few months of any
lifestyle pre-paid..or even a medium lifestyle or up. "We don't hire people
who live in rooms smaller than my bathroom!"
If I didn't feel like such crap I would play with the points system and do
some characters like that up.. ah well, there is tommorrow, I suppose.. :)
