I was thinking I messed this up, just not sure how.
So I should have: 425% x 3 = 12.75 = 13 points?

Yes, the player state in his concept that he drew his technomancer powers through his link with the swarm, so that is how I tried to model it for him.

Probably put more points into the "Technomacery Empowerment" advantage.

Yes, a variant of Sorcery was the plan. I had missed that restriction. That throws the whole template cost out the window. The goal was the 50-75 point range.

Yes, I have the Cybernetic limitations added to if for -50%. I had considered the Granted by familiar and or Gadget limitations too.
Any alternative advice for building a Technomancer with a microbot swarm symbiont/familiar?
