Any suggestions, critiques, etc. regarding this character build O wise and savage community?

Hey Augur,

Looks like you forgot the 5xp for pbp. You should have 1 more advance. I am wondering why you chose the armor t-12, vs the T-11. Was it for the healing bonus? I would almost ditch healing, if it is not a focus.
Maybe you could walk us through your skills a bit let us know which ones are free, so we can see where you spent the points.
I also noticed you did not take advantage of the born a hero setting rule. If there is a high rank edge you really like, character creation (before you apply Mars advances) is a good time to take it.
