When Essence is lost due to cyberware implantation, the consensus here on Dumpshock seems to be that it never returns. In other words, if a character installs a smartlink (0.5 Essence) and then removes it six months later, their Essence remains 5.5 and does not bounce back up to 6. I've looked through the BBB, but I can't find any support for this. I also can't find any support for the opposing point (i.e. that Essence does return when cyberware is removed).
I'd like to clarify the issue for myself: is there canonical information germane to this and if so, could someone provide me with a page reference? Thanks in advance. |
