It occured to me that characters coming from certain backgrounds may have access to gear, skills and 'ware that might not otherwise be available.
Before exploring specifics -- how do GMs feel about players taking "package deals" that offer specific benefits and drawbacks? Like minimum skill requirements ("To have been a soldier you need to have these skills at these minimums") but you also get to buy skills you might not otherwise have access to ("Sure, you learned how to operate LMGs and Demolitions") and you get this ware at a discount since you were part of a manufacturing line, but you also have these drawbacks: Military Record -2, Cyberware is UCAS military issue and easily identifable -1. -Siege |
