We all know that Cybereyes hold .5 essence of options at no further essence loss, but...
Say I buy a pair of replacement Cybereyes (.2 essence) and have them implanted with Low-light (.2), Thermo (.2), and Image Link (.2). The sum of the options is .6 essence. There appears to be two ways I might interpret the rule in the book. It might be that only complete options fit inside, and I have to pick one of the options to be completely outside the eye. With this method I lose .2 + .2 essence. It might be that I do simple arithmetic. The sum of the options is .6, and .5 of that is covered by the eye. Therefore my total loss is .2 + .1 essence. Which way do you play? Is your way Canon? Main description from the book. SR3.299 "Cybereyes": Cybereyes will accept additional vision enhancements of up to .5 Essence Cost without further Essence loss. |
