Yeah, but each item is viable as a stand alone product as well, which is worth mentioning since owning Rating 3 Reaction Enhancers certainly is no guarantee that you can afford a Rating 3 Move-By-Wire system.

I was responding to the premise that the reason Reaction Enhancers no longer work with anything else (supposedly) is to highlight the fact that they do work in conjunction with Move-by-Wire.

QUOTE (ElFenrir @ Feb 10 2008, 11:58 AM)  ooh...one piece of bad news...ever since the FAQ came out...apparently Reaction Enhancers and Wired Reflexes are no longer compatible. Don't worry, it makes no sense for lots of us. (especially because they are compatible, with like, ALL other forms of cyber or bio reflex enhancement. To this day i don't know why they decided this.) What?! When did this change happen ... And where can i find the FAQ ?! |

QUOTE (Gargs454 @ Feb 9 2008, 04:13 PM) Hey all just a quick question on Orthoskin. I'm in the process of creating a Street Sammie for our new run and I was wondering if investing in Orthoskin was worth the price tag. I don't want to go with the cheaper Dermal Plating because of essence costs but thought that the extra Armor might be good since my character is your basic heavy gunner/melee type. Naturally, if I skip Orthoskin I can save 6-12 BPs for use elsewhere (or for better cyber/bioware), etc. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Your character gets to stub out cigarettes on his forehead. It's worth the BPs. -K. |
