Just keep in mind those self only powers are at +1 ppts cost, if you go mega which is a doubling of base cost, it is actually +2 ppts for the trapping.

I am happy for you to have this item as a humanoid as your rationale for its existence is that it is to protect your weaker form. It is effectively the staff from HJ rolls but retweaked so it definitely not game breaking. Okay, excelent. For clarity sake do you need me to replace "Major: Chang...

If a player brought these Background Varients to me in a Pen and Paper game I would likely say they cost two edges each, but then allow it. I am going to back up on this statement.

A lot of these edges are really powerful. Essentially being built like races, they give the Juicer (an already burly character) even more depth in their specialty. Essentially not only losing the Juicer limitations (such as no Psionics), but adding several edges on top. By "losing" Aspects...

Unlimited STR is pretty unusual for a race benefit in SR and outside the current rules for building a custom race. How would you cost this? I would consider it a low value abstract ability worth +1.

A big part of the reason, I kept to just retrapping was for clearer expectations and smooth over acceptance.

Suggestion the first: Rewrite the abilities solely as for the Alchemist. For short form referring to the original is fine. But for a final proposal, write your own version of the original mechanics. Now, that doesn't mean you don't refer to the book for common things, or even elements you're not go...

Looks legitimate to me, nothing even remotely questionable. I would allow it in one of my games.

I was the one who originally suggested the +1 to survival. My rationale was your character is just Superior at hunting. It's not a matter of detection so much as it is efficiency. But then again that's just a trapping and it could be whatever.
