Cybernetics can be used to grant Talents
and Perks to a character in various ways.
|
|
TALENTS |
|
In addition to the Talents included in some
of the CAC's listed under the
Skills section, there is a very
common feature that can be installed in
just about anyone without undue difficulty
called an Onboard Personal Assistant (OPA).
Other Talents are only allowed with GM permission;
as a general guideline combat oriented Talents
should be part of a CAC. |
|
The following is an example of a typical
OPA: |
|
|
|
ONBOARD PERSONAL ASSISTANT: |
|
Absolute Time Sense (3 Active Points);
Restrainable (by EMP's; -1/4) |
|
Eidetic Memory (5 Active Points);
Data / Facts Only (-1/2), Restrainable (by
EMP's; -1/4) |
|
Lightning Calculator (3 Active Points);
Restrainable (by EMP's; -1/4) |
|
Bump Of Direction (3 Active Points);
Restrainable (by EMP's; -1/4) |
|
Lightsleep (3 Active Points); Restrainable
(by EMP's; -1/4) |
|
Brainjack: Computer Link (5 Active
Points); Restrainable (by EMP's; -1/4) |
|
Personal CommLine: High Range Radio
Perception (Radio Group), +2 to PER Roll,
Concealed (-2 with High Range Radio Perception
PER Rolls), Discriminatory (21 Active Points);
Restrainable (by EMPs; -1/4), Personal CommLine
Only (-2) |
|
Total Real Cost: 21 points; ~1,449,000
credits |

PERKS |
|
Cybernetics can't grant Perks, with a single
key exception; Brainjacks (described below).
A very important device for many types of
characters, Brainjacks are Cybernetic plugs
directly into the brain that allow a person
to jack directly into the NET and other
technologies that piggyback on the connection
standard. Brainjacks are by far the most
common Cybernetic device in existance; almost
all corporate employees above the janitorial
staff have them, and a decent subsection
of non-corporate people do as well. |
|
To use a Brainjack a person just needs to
be adjacent to a device that supports a
Brainjack connection. At a public terminal
you connect to the NET and navigate as needed;
however private domains are usually not
available via the public NET without authentication;
however a good deal of security can be circumvented
by using a terminal inside the physical
security of a private domain (providing
a good rationale for Hackers to accompany
Runners physically). |
