yes that makes lots of sense to me, i was just stating what the RAW says about the matter not my own opinion.

Ahh, cool mate (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) What i would personally kick around doing is either A. Houseruling back to how we used to play it in 3(you pays the money and essence and get yer limbs chopped off you can get much better toys), OR perhaps B. Houserule in a sort of ''Custom Limbs +'' which cost double perhaps, but let you go above the augmented max.

With the addition of the Redlining rules, I don't really see the need to pump limbs up to inane levels.

Plus, a cybertorso isn't really a torso replacement. It's a metal shell around your internal organs. So a human would need a human-sized cybertorso.

Well, the average Ork is about as large as a tall human; i know quite many people in the 1.9 meter range, and even bigger. Both seem proportioned very similar. Human with a troll torso is pushing it(though with the rules now it seems like you could build ANY kind of body to stick a brain into) but i don't see why an elf or human couldn't get an ork torso replacement. Elves are generally more slender, but the same average height; and an elf or human that put some time in the gym could certainly get pretty beefy. Again, just my opinions. Use whatever is right for your table in the end of course. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Basically, I've got his natural Body up to 9 (he has Toughness, Will to Live, and Exceptional Attribute: Body, but I haven't bothered to max it out), then got Adapsin and Genetic Optimization geneware, then got a full suite of Beta-grade custom limbs, torso and skull, all with +5 Body and 4 levels of Armor, and filled the rest of their capacities up with Strength enhancements. Then I filled him out with some body-enhancing bioware (and a Trauma Damper, Platelet factory and the like), to get his 'wet' attributes up as well. His natural Body is still 9, but he's got an 18 for damage resistance tests, and anywhere from 15 to 17 for most toxin/poison/disease tests. His un-augmented Strength is only 5 (since it doesn't really matter with 4 cyberlimbs), and his Willpower is 5. The rest of his stats are pretty crap-tastic; the goal wasn't so much to have a well-rounded character, as someone that could take a Panther round to the chest buck-naked - and basically 'tank' while the rest of the team did their thing. He also carries most of the spare gear, and more than occasionally carries the technomancer and/or mage when they manage to get themselves knocked out during the run.

heh, the perfect troll for every team *g*
if you can somebow manage to get his strength up a little bit more, than you can use a collapsible bow and do mucho amage too ^^
seriously? that's what trolls were frigging meant to do, anybody telling you different hasn't had enough trouble keeping his character alive in combat *g*
