As I'm currently playing in a game with a character with a synthetic cyber-skull, the answer to this question is important to me.

Are there no more synthetic cyber-skulls as of SR4A, or was it an accidental omission?


And players, if it is a case of there being no more synthetic skulls, exactly how freaky does an obvious skull look anyhow?

I assume there would be. As a GM, I'd allow it.

Only a Rook(ie) would want to conceal such a magnificent piece of hardware design. How's it going Cracker?

Uncanny call there, Max. I just registered on Dumpshock a few minutes ago. Where's this Summer Dress tradition I've heard of?

I do agree here: why would there not be a synthetic Cyberskull? Why do they have to be obvious?

Admittedly if I were to just allow one I would do the 15,000, 2 Capacity that it would seem likely to have(since the hand has a 4 capacity like the cyber skull, and drops to a 2 capacity and the difference, over all, seems to be 5000 Nuyen extra to make a synthetic, and it would be representing that a skull has alot more to make it look not obvious then a an arm)

In my opinion an obvious cyberskull should look more like this and not that way.

I think I'd let either of Doc Bytes examples into my own game.

SR4 or SR4A? I think the original poster was saying it evaporated from SR4A.
