Can you get Strength and Agility mods for cyberskulls? and if so, why would you want to?

Strength and Agility mods are always (to my knowledge) under cyberlimb upgrades. Your head isn't a limb. The only time I could see that kind of upgrade being useful is in an Escape Artist test, but your GM probably wouldn't make you roll a seperate test for your lower-stat head while the rest of your body is upgraded, unless he or she is a real dick. |

As per the Rules, the head does indeed count as a limb in this case.
And no, you usually only want to upgrade the body stat or simply put some armor in there. Only time where Strength would come in handy in a head would be a head-butt. Or maybe Bite-Attack. Only time Agility could be of help would be with cunnilingus. |

Although that does rather beg the question, what kind of girl would want to be eaten out by the Terminator?
Also, possibly squickworthy, why would an Agility-augmented cyberskull help with cunnilingus but not fellatio? |

Would probably help with fellatio as well.
As for the girl? Look up Alien Queen in context with Shadowrun. There's a complete cyber-fetish-scene where the more alien and obvious your cyber is, there better for you. |

By RAW, the overall strength/agility rating is the average of all the limbs.
This unfortunately includes the head and torso and yes, this has been discussed before. - J. |

My cousin had made a former-male-prostitute-now-runner Elf who had implanted a 1 and 1/2 ft. cock. I told him to wear velcro pants so he could easily drop them when trying to intimidate/seduce someone (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cyber.gif) |

Now, I think that only the really, really expensive bunraku parlor would have actual personel, most of them would probably use BTL's and simrig and stuff like that since it would be cheaper. Of course the really crappy would also have personel, but the kind of personel that sould have retired of this job like 30+ years ago. |

I was more partial to Riveiros' genetweaked variants. Seemed more elegant.
Coupled with some old fashion BTLs and data filters you could come up with some interesting "options"... - J. |

I had thought that it was [Left Arm + Left Leg + Right Arm + Right Leg + Torso + Head]/6 for full-body Body related tests, and [Left Arm + Left Leg + Right Arm + Right Leg + Torso]/5 for all other full-body tests. Since, well, while one could argue unto absurdity the merits of having strong and flexible neck muscles, it's a bit TOO silly. |

*nod* I've always felt the Cybertorso should be split into two pieces - upper (ribcage and shoulder blades) and lower (spine and pelvis) - each at 0.75 Essence. You can augment arms past +3 if you have an upper cybertorso, and you can augment legs past +3 if you have a lower cybertorso.

Way back when - before the cybertorso - we invented the cyberspine. We're talking late SR1/early SR2 days.
All lifting requires a solid supporting spine and the body must be capable of withstanding the pressures exerted by any activity requiring tremendous torque, speed, etc. We couldn't comprehend how you could buy an unlimited level of strength augmentations for your cyberarm (yup, this was the case in SR1) and yet, not expect it to snap off the minute you tried to lift something that heavy. It makes perfect sense to me know using these rules. Maybe not so much for the *head* but the torso definitely makes sense. - J. |
