How many people have played, or played in games with, characters who lack both magical ability and cyberware/bioware? The conventional wisdom seems to be that this is a quick path to uselessness, and there's only one character archetype like this in BBB3 (the Private Eye). But it would certainly be an interesting role-playing experience, if nothing else.
