No Con is fine if you don't mind reloading saves a lot, but even putting 5 in con at the start will be enough to let you live after stepping on random traps or stealthed enemies. You don't need dex for crafting and you only need a few points in INT to get better crafted gear. In general you should find the core stat that'll contribute to your damage (Perception/strength/dex/will/etc), and pump that a lot. putting a good amount into lockpicking and hacking is reccomended as there's tons of locked shit everywhere and you'll have a much easier time navigating if you aren't running a tank build. If you want to run stealth, you'll generally have to start combat stealthed. There's a feat that lets you re-stealth midcombat but that's unlocked later. You don't need any specific pistol, you can do fine with most any pistol you find or craft as long as the damage is decent. Psi-empathy for the extra AP is just to min-max, it's not remotely required to beat the game. Just popping adrenaline's is good enough. Only two major things for character building is to pick a way to do damage (guns/melee/psi) and generally stick to pumping the relevant stat and taking relevant feats for the weapon you use. The other is picking either high CON or high AGL as your preferred means of staying alive. I definetly don't reccomend playing a character with no health, or evasion and dodge unless you really know what you're doing.
