Nothing, except me saying no and coming up with an explanation on the spot
if they ask why :) Nobody in my current group has consciously purchased a
cyberlimb (one PC has had a cyberlimb implanted to replace a leg that was
shot off, but he didn't have a say in it) and even if they do, I doubt
they'll think of putting an ork limb on a human body...

Just a little hint: what you should do for tables (and this goes for
everyone using a mailer that allows you to select fonts!) is to set your
display to a fixed-width font; in Windows, Courier, Courier New, and
FixedSys are good. (Pegasus users can press F12 to switch between standard
and fixed-width fonts, BTW.) Then use spaces, not tabs, to make the
columns in the table. This ensures everything will remain readable on any
mailer.
Likewise, if you see a screwed-up table, switch to a fixed-width font to
see if it makes sense then.
Oh yeah, and the above also goes for putting ^^^^^s underneath text and
for drawing diagrams. (It may be obvious, but look at the number of people
who don't think of it... :( )

I like word processors, but I could never get along with a spreadsheet...

This makes sense, if you can stand the strange curves FASA usually puts on
prices for such gear :)
