What? You want the speed and all of those great effects, you gotta
take your chances with half-developed, not understood, dangerous as
hell, not well thought out technology. Hell, I love that book.
There's nothing munchkin about it. What you want a -6 essence?
Well, it'll cost you a fortune, you'll wind up selling the six months
left of your life to corp and you've got several new and exciting
ways to die.

You want the benefits, you gotta live with the consequences. Move-By-
Wire ain't the free ride Wired Reflexes are. With Wires, you pay the
essence and bam, it's yours. With MBW, pay the essemce and hope your
body doesn't crap out into a world class epileptic seizure.

It's only munchkin if the GM let's 'em have it to easy and doesn't
make 'em suffer. The game's role-playing. You want to build a metal
monster, play BattleTech.
