Yeah, I have to admit, I cringe a bit when folks start refering directly
to page #s in the Great Rulebook. I'm pretty sure it says somewhere in
the intro or elsewhere in the Book, as it does in nearly every other RPG
I've seen, that the 'rules contained within are meant to act as
guidelines, subject to any changes incorporated by the GM as he/she sees
fit to improve the status of the campaign blah blah blah BLAH!'
The dude in Elven Fire is Michael Dumont, and I think all of cyberware
added together brings essence well below zero...hm...unless I'm
remembering wrong...
