I think you would get a little more out of this character if he had level headed to go with quick.

He is an good gun slinger, but the best gun slingers are the gun slingers who shoot first.
Not sure if you have room to spare, that is just my opinion

Kidemonas

I think what that situation also defined is we definitely do not need to enhance Summon Ally.

Force Multiplication made us able to stand at the top in a moment of glory.

Ink will do much better in future battles where we may not be sitting next to a perpetual energy source.

Edit: All Plasma Weapons are MD, so the 3d8 reduced Damage is good, but it should still be MD.

I think they look pretty good with the exception of the NE-75H "Shoulder Cannon". Looking at it, I get strangely uncomfortable with a hand carried weapon being able to inflict 3d12 (same as 3d10+3 really) at Str d12. But I assume it is based on the NG-E4A so it is balanced to that. Either ...

Not a lot of use in Savage Rifts, but for those of you that okay at home. Here is an agrigate conversion of Richard Woolcock's work at converting thousands of D&D monsters. It is a great resource and excellent baseline every GM should have access to. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_R_45xcPH2u...

It would be a bad card for Echo. She has no mega damage ability, her strongest ranged attack is 2d6 damage and only had a 12" range.

Have you considered if the attack would be considered holy coming from a character with the Champion edge?

It very much breaks convention for a Cyber-Knight not to be able to kill a vampire in battle. The drudge of chopping off heads and burning do not fit the Cyber-Knight at all.

Kidemonas

However as a Cyber-Knight you have Champion also.
And vampires can be killed by holy attacks so I think it is reasonable that the +2 damage from your Champion would be enough to do it.
