What are some of the best loadouts for a street sam, either at character creation or later? I've been playing around with different augs, and I was wondering what other people like to use.
The character I'm building right now is ambidextrous, with two modular obvious forearms and cyberware gyromounts (and spare synthetic forearms for times when he wants to blend in). I'm especially interested in different strategies for avoiding damage penalties: trauma dampeners, adrenal pumps, damage compensators, blood circuit control systems, platelet factories, and pain editors. My GM allows upgrading cyberware for the difference in cost, but only within grade (i.e. rating 1 standard can be upgraded to rating 2 standard for the difference, but you have to rip it out if you want rating 2 alpha). |
