Yea, but can a sammy die or go unconscious just from using his
cyberware? Nope. Can a rigger die or go unconscious flying around
minature drone killing machines? Nope. Will a decker die or go
unconscious just from casual use of his deck? Nope. Will a mage take
damage from casual use of magic? He shouldn't. Under your way he
does.

Tell me Nightlife, just what is balanced about that?
