I'm guessing you want to go for ripper's glove build. If so then you're mostly fine. Here are some thoughts:
1) Bone breaker only works with blunt weapons.
2) No reason to level throwing so much unless you go for threepointer.
3) No reason to get more than 80 stealth. Rest is usually boosted with gear.
4) On low perception builds I like getting some traps early skill for trap detection.
5) Take expose weakness earlier that deflection. Deflection is not really necessary since you'll be relying on movement points to break line of sight and get out of range. But if you really want it get it at later levels.
6) Really recommend escape artist. Saves a lot of reloads.

For unarmed you're better off going for crit damage instead of expertise. Get dex to 12 to get 4 ap attacks. Pump strength for damage after.
This is what i completed the game with:

Extra loot most of the time is worthless. Especially in those very specific situation where you initiate fight through dialogue. This is not nearly good enough for a feat. I don't really get what is your problem with the feat the way it is now.

>good feat
>You already have to spend 6 stat points (the same amount that you obtain naturally through leveling to 24) and be within <30% HP (a death sentence in Dominating) for it to be active. When you enter Depot A you can't use Survival Instincts by itself anymore, much less if you're a psi user. You'll simply die to the copious amounts of acid damage, even with full mutated dog leather armor and boots. And this keeps up throughout the game outside of edge cases that already have ways to cheese it without the need for a feat (ie. Arena); SI isn't the game breaking feat you think it to be that instantly makes everything die because you're simply nearly dead.

Pick one.

As it stands now survival instincts are only useful to stealth/tm builds abusing high ap and stasis. Instead of being useful to actual high con builds.

Smarter ai is always great. If it nerfs TM even greater.

You can use bandages in combat mode without enemies nearby, its MUCH faster.

Bandages can not be used in combat, unless I'm misunderstanding something.

Howdy I was trying find a cool build a while back and started reading this post https://stygiansoftware.com/forums/index.php?topic=5458.0 but it appears a lot of the links are broken.

Just remove .tm from the link

There is not much that can really hurt a tank build like taking crits.
Survival instincts can be reworked into something like: whenever you get critically hit your next attack this turn is guaranteed to be critical. And add specialization that allows for +1 crit attack per 2 spec points or something.
There is antisynegy with heavy helmets, crotch guard and paranoia which reduce chance to be critically hit.
Maybe better way to do this would be: whenever you take a hit that would reduce your hp by 25-40% your next attack this turn is guaranteed to be critical.

You might as well randomize all encounters

Blocking in general is not very useful as you don't need to worry about melee much. Allowing shields to block ranged attacks would be a great buff to riot armor. I might even consider playing shield build myself then.

I can easily see a feat called something like Full cover. Allows shields to block damage from mechanical ranged attacks. You can even go farther and make more feats to allow blocking ice and fire attacks.

There are some skills to spare. Featwise you have enough for 2 schools.
Main problem will be spell slots. 6 int is 5 slots total.

Psychokinesis you want force punch, force field, electrokinesis and electric trap.

Metathermics you want cryostasis, pyrokinesis/cryoorb (or both), exothermic aura and thermodynamic destabilization (never tried destabilization but it supposed to be strong) and maybe cryokinesis.

So you'll need to pump int for multiple psi schools. At this point better to go pure psi.

Can confirm. I did thought control/sword build. It was helpful in the beginning but by the midgame it was wasted points. Better off going for grenades.

Psychokinesis might be a good option. Get force user. If you have decent str get corporeal projection. Like this:
https://underrail.info/build/?FAsKBgMDBwUAMgBkZGQyAAAAGQAAAAAAAGQAAAAAACQ5K2HCjE4NBhRcacKNZ9-_

Temporal works with everything as it's just buffs. If you're into this sort of thing go for it.

Not sure about metathermics. You can build something like this:
https://underrail.info/build/?FAUMBgMDCgYAMgBubm4yAAAAGQAAAAAAAABuAAAAACQ5K2HCjE4GXCosZS49378
But i don't know if you will ever use sword after getting psionic mania.
