[HoE] Another Cyborg ?

["Steve Crow" <crow_steve@hotmail.com>]

I'm not sure if this is really a point for discussion, but...

We were creating a Cyborg/Harrowed character, a Veteran of the _Weird_ West, 
and noted that the eye and limb loss results on that tables (from The Wasted 
West) specify that bionics can _not_ be used to replace the lost organ.

Ummm, why not?  We understand that if a healing roll is failed (as per the 
listings under Touch of the Doomsayer, Lay on Hands, et. al), the wound is 
permanent.  But if, say, your arm has literally been blown off or vaporized, 
what is it that prohibits you from attaching a cyborg/bionic limb?  We 
didn't totally follow the reasoning here...

Also, what about a Harrowed who, say, deliberately cuts his arm off for a 
cyborg replacement version?  Obviously, the "Arm Loss" Weird Wewst/handicap 
would have no bearing here (and I wouldn't allow it as a Marshal).  Still, 
just as a matter of background/justification, is this possible within the 
framework of the existing game rules?
