i have been playing two runs with my new character (a physad). the first was an easy one which earned me 5 karma. then came the second run. a very very deadly one, which earned me unbelievable 42 karma!!! no my gm is not insane, but the run was very long, very deadly and i just happened to help all my group over and over again.

anyway, my problem is that i lost my eyesight, because of some nasty critter. my gm pointed out that i CANNOT genetically repair my eyes or implant other genetically produced eyes. which leaves me only one option: cyberware.

since i have the sensitive system flaw, i need to pay double essence-costs for the eyes.

what should i best do? i thought of initiating once and buy a magic point for 20 karma, learn physad-powers and put geasa on these for the loss of my cyberimplant? would this be an ok approach? i really don't want to put double-geasa on my powers, since i am already very crippled.

another question i couldn't find an answer in my books are:
if i have natural (not adept power) lowlight vision and i have to replace my eyes with cybered implants, am i still able to use lowlight vision? if yes, do they still count as natural or cybered (in regards for TN).

thanks

I'd say make the argument for cloning your eyes again. Otherwise, your GM's just being a prick. There is absolutely no reason that you should not have your eyes cloned, even if your eyes have been infected since you can get the genetic code for your proper eyes from any other spot on your body. If your GM's not willing to work with you on this, then I don't know. I mean, he should at least say, "I'm doing this because..." and follow that with a rational or logical answer that will enhance everyone's enjoyment of the game, and not some half-assed excuse that's meant to ruin your day.

Then's there's gene-tech.

Spatial recognition, high-frequency hearing.

And I don't know if this is allowed, but have a mage quicken a personal force 1 clairvoyance on you. Sure, you're blind, but you can still see...actually, come to think of it, does that even make any sense...?
