I haven't actually tried to build one for combat yet.
The group I'm currently playing with might lose their main magic character and currently doesn't have a face so I've made a dryad mystic adept to try and cover both areas (6 magic, 5 points mana 1 point physical adept all on social abilities, results in reasonable spellcasting and 15-17 dice for social skills - apart from intimidation - without any buffing)
The impression I've always had for SR is that a Physical Adept was behind the cybered character as a starting character but given 'standard' karma and money got ahead long term.

I am reading The Twilight Horizon at present, and I've just seen a drone with a single standard mount supposedly equipped with TWO miniguns!!!!

I've heard that they just had a bit of a disaster where they did a new version of one of the books and lost all of the errata for it because they'd replaced one of the staff members and the new guy used the wrong version of the documents...
Mistakes happen everywhere but Not a good look.
Anyway thanks again for the input and I'd better stop polluting the thread now.
