Assuming that a sub-dermal, non-cyber/bioware implant would not affect essence ratings (think ceramic beads in a dudes wang), could a mage have festishes implanted beneath the surface of the skin in order to avoid them being easily lost on a run?
The negatives to balance against the seeming metagaming would be the social drrawbacks (visible implants would be weird unless your in the right crowd) and the painful side-effects of actually losing the fetishes. A bunch of cheek implanted fetishes on that hamster shaman, might ake him look the part and save him from having his expensive fetishes lost or damaged during a job, but getting captured by enemy street sams that dig the items unceremoniously outta his face is still bound to be unpleasant. Any thoughts? |
