Delta is in Cybertech, and it's 50%/x10, IIRC

I believe it's not. Anything above 50% essence redection is just
munchkinism. You can't rationalize these stats to a sane person.
>I made the minimum essence of any cyberware .001
The Subject line says it all.

The Subject line says it all. If you were going to give someone a
99% essence reduction, the least you could do as a GM is make it
detectable... give it SOME flaws... sheesh!

>I know that some of you will think that this is TOO powerful,
In all honesty, sir. I can't picture any GM in his right mind
approving this. Of course, this is the internet, and I should learn to
be shocked by nothing anymore.
but if you

Note to K: I apologize, THIS is "selective reading". :)
Go back and read the books again. There is a limit to everything-
and there are some things money can't buy.
.and there is always EM pulse, and
>sonic weapons that can destroy their cyberware if it gets out of
hands...
If you have to come up with a contingency plan for equipment, it's
munchkin.

My opinion is that you are a disgruntled PC. If I'm wrong, I hate to
see you as a disgruntled PC.
Read Cybertechnology. You can stand to learn a lot.
