Eye covers, as described on page 332 of the SR4 book, are fairly simple. They cover your eyes, giving +2 points of armor on them. Not a bad choice, to be sure.
That said, how obvious are they? Can they be retractable? Can they go under the eyelids, or do they cover the entire ocular cavity, like a pair of glasses? This has come up because I have a player who wants to have dead black eye covers that cover the whole eye, and are not removable. (This was inspired by Neuromancer.) I don't think it's an immediate problem, but it seems to me that, in the long run, they would become a pretty easy way to identify him. Somehow, I can't imagine runners wanting something that obvious on themselves that they can't remove. Am I just overdoing it? |
