Guys?

Have you figured out yet that you're talking about totally different
things?

Equating the removal of a sammie's gear to the removal of a mage's gear
is not the same. The sammie is going to put more importance on his gear
than the mage will, because that gear is waht makes the sammie what he
is. A better equivalent would be to take away the sammie's cyber and
mage's magic. You wind up with two highly skilled, but not nearly as
tough, people.

Also: the rule on Stim-patches appears on page 250 of SR2 and the variant
on pg 99 of Awakenings does not significantly change it. If anything, now
you can hit me with lots of big stimpatches and I won't lose more than 1
Magic point in 24 hours.

I already sent my opinion of this earlier, I won't restate it.
