The FAQ brought up an interesting question in my mind for full cyber body characters, a.k.a. cyborgs. The FAQ states that these characters aren't encouraged because of the essence lost but Augmentation will provide some rules for cyborgs.
The question I have is what about brain transfers from a metahuman body to a fully integrated (i.e. built as one whole cohesive unit) cyberbody? Is that even possible and would the essence be less than if you bought each piece separately? I'm thinking in the terms that the cyberbody would function like those from Ghost in the Shell. Replacing the character's with a more powerful and agile body that can also take more damage and even replace body functions for the character. I'm having a brain fart right now so everything is there but not coming together. :) Does this sound like a good idea or would it unbalance the game? |
