Chiefly it was his huge strength and fightin': sword, together with
the "sweep" move, which let him typically put down 2-4 baddies at a
stroke.  (He did eventually open one door too many, went bust on a
roll and took some wounds.)

Light battle armor, an M-320 LAPAT, hold-out plasma gun, targeting
computer, 5-pt power focus and a large array of harrowed powers.  But
no spirit capacitor bank -- external batteries instead.  And all the
cyber gear is going to leave him with a tough time on guts checks.
