Re: [HOE] more cyborg questions

[Abdullah Oblongota <toadpooka@juno.com>]

The real problem with the illustration/rule inconsistencies in Cyborgs is
that the pictures look so damn COOL.  What bugs me is that you need to
pump a lot of points into edges to make a heavy can that is mostly
cybered (say, a torso and 2 limbs), and to make that worthwhile (since
the only real reason to have replacements is for more mounts).
I'd say that a Heavy Can with no replaced limbs still has metal bits
sticking out at odd angles, since the doctrors would be less concerned
with hiding their work than they would with an infiltrator or such.
