I could handle a +3 cap better than your way. My character Waif
(burnt out sorcerer adept) could have never existed in your game. At the
start of the campaign, Waif was already a former runner who spent the
last couple years wasting away on BTLs. He was a Strength 1 with other
lower stats who just came clean off the chips and was rebuilding himself
up to his former pre-addict self.
People do recover from such conditions. Under your system, they can
only recover a little. Your system impedes development too unfairly.

Ancient cultures believed that names held great power, personal names
more so and they were guarded very closely. To protect themselves, they
answered to another name, because if another discovered their real name,
it could be used against them.
History repeats itself.
