After _years_ of running games and yearning for some of my ungrateful friends to start something so I can be a player again, one of them has caught the hint and is starting a SR group. :rotfl:

Now that I am once again facing the challenge of making my character obeying rules (instead of just tailor-fititng my nPCs to the party), there are a few issues I'm havig with the Gear part (that accounts for 80% of making nearly all SR characters).

The main one is: what exactly can you Dikote?

This question regard mostly armor. According to the CC, it has to be rigid, non-kevlar armor. That excludes most armor that is not military (and that is already fearsome enough without the coating). Lined Coats have rigid plates inside, in addition to their ballistic fabric. Can those be dikoted and grant any benefit?

I've seen some non-canon characters with Dikoted Forearm Guards. While that does make sense (they seem to be quite rigid protection), would you allow it as a GM?

What else is there...Ares monoswords? Narcoject needles? Flechette rounds? Fang implants?


Plerase note that I don't intend to exploit every single instanc ein which the nifty Dikote bonuses can be applied. But sinc eone of the games I'm running is nearing its final stage, and the next one I start will likely be Shadowrun, I'd rather already deal with as many issues as possible. Thanks in advance.
