The cyborg rules in arsenal state that a cyborg uses Response for Reaction and the appropriate Vehicle skill + Handling when an Agility attribute is required.
Say the character is specialized in the appropriate type of Vehicle skill pertaining to his drone type. Would his +2 specialization bonus apply to his Agility score? Since the character is using a Vehicle skill as his Agility, would the cyborg recieve a +2 bonus to Agility for having a Control Rig? Lastly, would his Agility also be raised by +2 since he is in hot-sim? For example, Bob the Cyborg has a Pilot Anthroform skill of five and is specialized in Bipedal. He is plugged into a bipedal anthroform drone with a handling of +1. Would his Agility be 12? That being 5 for skill, 2 for specialization, 2 for Control Rig, 2 for hot sim and 1 for handling? I note that the Arsenal rules and the FAQ lists a table for common rigger actions. One of the checks it lists is for Infiltration, being comprised of Response + Infiltration. I understand that while rigging you use the drone's attributes in place of your own. I surmise that at the time this table was created, they choose to link it to Response because drone's had no Agility attribute. However, since a cyborg has an Agility attribute would it be better to link Infiltration to Agility? The cyborg rules also state that you can use a firearms skill in the place of Gunnery. If, for example, you use your Pistols skill instead of Gunnery, is it still linked to Sensor since you are rigging? or will it link to the drone's Agility instead? Or when else might you use the drone's Agility for a test? Would Gymnastics or Palming be linked to the drone's Agility or would it be linked to Response similar to Infiltration? And any time that you use the drone's Agility, which is derived from the controller's Vehicle skill, do you recieved the Control Rig and Handling bonuses? |
