Re: [HOE] Cyborg weight

ummm cut that down to 1% and 10%, and I'd agree with you.  average male
weighing in at roughly 200 lbs, your calculation figures 4 lbs per light
module.  a "holdout" gun that weighs 4 lbs, is a monstor hold out.  : )
maybe light, medium and heavy?  1%, 5%, and 10%?  and you could easily have
some designated negligable, like that cyber eye.  then you'd have the cyber
eye, that adds nothing noticable, the hold out, that adds 2 lbs, say, a main
implanted weapon that weighs 10 lbs, and a hardpoint that adds 20.   Sound
reasonable?  still quick and dirty, but slightly more detailed.
