[HoE] re: Cyborg/Junkers

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

Since we were discussing it the other day, thought I would play around with 
a Junker-built "cyborg" arm.

The Frame size seems about right, a 1 struck me as a tad too small.

No doubt folks will correct me if I'm wrong, but the only two things you 
seem to need to put into such a device would be Strength and Agility.  It 
would seem like the owner would supply the relative skills, so Brains really 
doesn't seem necessary here.  Programming an arm with, say, the 
Fightin'/Brawlin' skill doesn't seem appropriate, somehow.

If you did have to do this, you presumably buy a processor (1d4, 1 slot) and 
a slug slot (2 slots).  That would reduce the final power pack total below 
from 90 to 60, but otherwise wouldn't seem to change anything.

Let me know...


Cybernetic Arm

Frame 2 (16 slots)
Base Strength: 2d4

Super-Strength +3 coordination (-.48 slots, round up to 1)
Super-Strength dice-boost to d12 (3.2 slots)

Agility 3d8 (1.92)

Drain: Strength (3/hour), Agility (2/hour) = 5/hour

Power: 9 10-GR power packs = 90 GR (9 slots total, 6 with the "smart" 
version mentioned above)
