Not necessarily something I would strongly advocate,
but it could actually be kinda fun playing a Samurai
who isn't quite playing with a full deck....
(For those of you who have played Rifts! - my last
character there was a Crazy... It was pretty fun.)
Also makes you think of the underworld illegal games.
imagine 2 samurai, with between 9 to 11 essence points
used up in cyberware, beating up on each other in the
pits, both thoroughly wacked out.
Needless to say, part of those 9 to 11 point would
be a small device that would shut down power to all
of their cyberware when not in a match. Except one
match on one night, one of the contestants must have
taken a hit that either damaged or messed up the
calibration of his inhibitor, and he is now stalking
around in the sewers.
Now the characters get hired to take out a samurai who
went over on simsense chips. Last they knew he was
both unarmed and completely out of it. Now if the
characters don't decide to be a bit cautious on this one,
letting their guard down for this "easy" run will get
them seriously underpaid and definately shorten their
life expectancy. Just because the man is nuts doesn't
mean he can't be just short of brilliant, and definately
doesn't mean that he didn't pick up the gun off the guard
he killed, let alone the uniform. And he has a severe
reaction to cameras that follow his moves. =)
(hmmm... what would happen to a decker who is using the
visual input of a scanner to follow movements if that scanner
was hit by a taser?) Just wondering what people think.
I imagine simply forcibly dumped out of the system, but
that is open to debate.
Just musings....
