Re: [HoE] Cyborg Q [HOPLER]

	I asked a few questions earlier and couldn't get any answers so I
thought I'd repost them and put your name in their to see if I couldn't
pressure you into answering them.  Thanks a bunch, and great product.

| 	I was just trying to make a munchkiny cyborg when I became stumped
| and confused.  Near as I can tell the format of the cyborg creation sheet
| has actually very little relation to the process.
| 	P. 83
| 	You get so many mounts naturally and so many if you replace the
| limb with a cyber-x.  Head 4/6, Torso 7/9, Limbs 6/8.  Now, the sheet has
| the following format:  RIGHT ARM | INTERNAL 1 2 3 4 5 6 | 7 8 |
| EXTERNAL 1-2 3-4.
| So I would hypothesize that 1-6 represent the natural base, 7/8 represent
| the added slots if your arm is cyber and 1-2/3-4 rep items mounted
| externally through hard points.
| BUT if that were so, Head would be like this:  HEAD | INTERNAL 1 2 3 4 |
| 5 6 | EXTERNAL 7.  And Torso would be like this:  TORSO | INTERNAL 1 2 3
| 4 5 6 7 | 8 9 | 1 2 3 4.
| 	On a side note, this brings up another point.  Two actually.  One:
| What is the meaning of 1-2?  Two:  Can you purchase multiple hard point
| systems per limb?  And if so, what's the limit?
| 	Next, I want some armor.  Now, Heavy Battle takes up 'all heavy'.
| Does that mean it takes up all four heavy mounts on the torso?  Does it
| mean that you're required to buy a heavy mount for all four limbs, the
| head, and the torso?  Or does it mean that any heavy mounts you may have
| it fills.  Okay, then it has it's own hard-point system.  Does that,
| itself, have one mount in the head, two in each limb, and four in the
| torso?
| 
| 	Finally, on a less question oriented note, I will note that first
| that the discrepancy between the size of some items each of which take up
| one mount is disturbing and also that this is a gret gret book.

For systems that you buy in multiple locations, do you suffer the spirit
loss for each installation?  Meaning that Sansom in Torso and Two arms =
-6 spirit loss?  My guess is not.

Reflex Booster says Mounts 1/Location.  Do you have to put it in each
location?  Dex Booster is the same but Balance Booster is not.  

Does a 16x telescopic eye add +20 Rane Increment to all linked pistols and
+40 to all linked rifles?

In Wasted West, the M-200 MSPW does 4d12 on impact and 3d8 in BR 3.
In Cyborgs, the M-200 MSPWC does 5d10 straight up.
I can't help but wonder if it's supposed to the same (or even similar)
damage. 

        Let's see... also, Spirit Loss 2 for Hard Points.  Is that for
/each/ purchase?  Zoiks.
        Heavy Shoulder Mount p104.  It mentions heavy recoil compensators,
but now their effect.  Is this listed elsewhere?
        Land Anchor:  What the hell?  It's suggested, but it doesn't
actually /do/ anything except slow you down, and take up a bunch of space
and drain.
        Oh, and the record sheet doesn't include the SRU which apparentely
takes up 2 slots in the chest.
