here's what's going on from the official unofficial FAQ :

Q2: H-2057's card says that he ignores essence loss. Cyber-psychosis says that
you add +1 to the roll for each point of essence lost. So does H-2057 still add
to the Cyber-psychosis die roll for his essence loss even though it is supposed
to be ignored?
A2: Yes. It's not exactly what we intended, but because Hatchetman "ignores"
essence loss, he still experiences it—and that means it gets added to the die
roll on Cyber-psychosis.

so long
