No I don't have a problem coming up with these types of character, but they
are rare, and should be so. Shadowrunners are not just some thugs on the
street...they have an edge...what's a likely edge...cyber or magic...but
yes, I like having a character who doesn't have either...and of course, one
of my favorite SR characters...Dirk Magomery in 2XS has neither.
