P.S. When all is said and done, I would accept cybernetics that DIDN'T chop parts of my body off. I don't care about the Essence thing, I'm a medic. |
If you're roleplaying it as your character just not liking cybernetics, that's another issue entirely. You may just want your character to look into acquiring more enchanted items for the time being. Or just have your character get over it.
While Exoskeletons in HR are (AFAIK) planned to be another thing, the idea of some kind of non-surgical tech boosting your stats doesn't sound like a terrible idea. Maybe having it work based on electronics or the cyberware usage [n]skill sorta like how enchanted items will be based on Arcane Artifact Usage [n]skill. _________________ A bright-eyed Thekko Ku Kalla dressed in a dapper sailor suit takes to flight and careers through the air toward the Modan Kucho and slams into him!

You or your character? I'm sure I'd hate getting my own limbs cut off also, but Yaru fell into peer pressure because he's impressionable. _________________ A bright-eyed Thekko Ku Kalla dressed in a dapper sailor suit takes to flight and careers through the air toward the Modan Kucho and slams into him!

The easy answer to non-tech boosters ... :
Revolutionary, Mind-altering Eolaish drugs.
Or Alterian. I'm sure the lil' bastards have something good they aren't sharing. _________________ Life is grand. Then you become a surfer with a keen interest in thrilling acts of life-threatening stupidity and realize that the only real life, is the one full of fun times.

They should be able to "steal" stuff from the hospital, too. Pain relievers which make the user practically immune to combat wounds ... but bleeds like a bitch in heat when hit hard enough.
Or how 'bout some drugs that increase mental/magic abilities but become so addictive that one needs to constantly take it or suffer horrendous negatives to stats, skills, or health.
Or, or, how 'bout a type of adrenaline that can be injected into someone by a medic that gives a boost to agility and agility-dependent skills but has the potential to seriously screw with vitality and health in general depending on the dosage and how often it's used.
Or chlorofoam to knock people unconcious. Or some type of neural inhibitors akin to ferronieres (and perhaps make them possible to shove down people's throats so they can't use telepathy?) that last between 15-30 minutes or so per pill dependant on vitality. But in this case, the higher the vitality score, the shorter the duration.
And since we all like to act out suicidal tendencies once in awhile (just kidding, I hope) we could even have special, extremely profane death messages for popping too many. That would be funny.
And Dragonseyes, I really meant non-surgical. I was reading Soundless' post where he put Non-surgical tech and accidentally switched them. _________________ Life is grand.

Possible idea is to have non-trooper exo's and trooper exo's where the trooper issued exo's have a way better boost. Like how we have it now for the cyber gear. Maybe even have it so that troopers with the smartlink work with the exo's. Have the trooper exo's jackable to it. Heh or maybe have an input jack put in the back of your head. _________________ Lick or Be Licked |

The concept of making exoskeletal enhancements as a replacement for cybergear seems repetetive to me. I could understand having it for certain professions, as a replacement for specific tricks, such as a strength/agility enhancement to give to a mage, so he doesnt lose essence, but for it to replace cybernetics entirely even with new pros and cons seems like putting effort into redundant systems. In all honesty, even the mages running around with an exoskeleton doesnt seem right to me.
On the other hand, I would be interested should it be made into a special armor type. It'd be cool to see troopers tromping around in an exoskeleton, maybe givin it a bonus to pulse, with aiming computers built into the armor, and strength, from the servo motors in the joints and such. etc. etc. Same suggestions as others. |
