After reading a recent thread, thought it'd be a good idea to post how the Cyberware surgery rules work and what a group should ignore to make the rules a bit more friendly.
First, ignore the Surgery Table on page 146, that'll make life ALOT easier. TNs: Basic Grade: 4 Alpha Grade: 5 Beta Grade: 6 Delta Grade: 10 Basic Bioware: 5 Cultured: 6 The number of successes is the most important thing: 1 Success: 2 negative options 2 Successes: 1 negative option. 3 Successes: No options. 4+ successes: 1 Positive Option possible per success over 3. Now, the confusing part for most people. Take the Highest Rolled Dice if you have 4+ successes and subtract your roll from the required TN. This is your Calculated Threshold. You gain a maximum number of Positive Options equal to the number of successes over 3 AND whose total Threshold value is equal to or less than your Calculated Threshold. So, if your Calculated Threshold is 4 (TN is 6, and a 10 is rolled) than you can get 2: +2Threshold Positive Options if you also got at least 5 successes on your Biotech roll. As you can probably see, chances of rolling that many successes with an NPC that has a skill of 6 is pretty slim with those TNs. So make sure your Doctor has a Rating 6+ skillwires with a rating 6 CED and a Rating 6+ Biotech soft if you want to gain both Essence Slot and Essence Reduction. :P If, however, you are getting a nice legal piece of body enhancement inside a hospital with a team of doctors, you can reduce the TN by the total number of Doctors on the team. Or, a nice illegal piece of body enhancement in one of those pleasant development labs which qualifies as a hospital with a team of said doctors... that'd also be... "safe" Muahahahah.... :cyber: Sphynx Hope that helps in understanding the rather cryptic surgery rules in M&M. |
