NO, I don't agree entirely with the book. Think of this, take the mech arms
rules, and note that for some walkers/anthroforms, the strength is the body
squared (IIRC). Please also note that most anthroforms have two mechanical
arms designed into them.
Now remember that strength augments for cyber don't have to mess with the
entire limb, but perhaps only a portion thereof, say a hand or a "Jaw" in this
case.
I've got a Bod-2 Anthroform running loose right now that Mike gave me the idea
for, which has been so named "Kenny". Kenny doesn't have very much directly,
but I noticed that the "weight" for a Heavy Military Helmet was within his
"Load Range" and promptly put that into the design. Put the nifty sensors and
stuff into the helmet using the concept of mounts and the like for
FoF/Cybertechnology. Works pretty well, and only a "called shot to the head
of Kenny" get's two points of Hardened Armor.
Turned around, gave it an "external cargo mount", which admittedly is only a
single CF, but works for the "backpack image". Binder get's a kick out the
thing half the time, so he gave him a BIG shirt to wear (actually just a
"super wide size") with a "No Death" symbol on the back.
Wouldn't have been so bad until last night, "Kenny" finally died. Yep, two
members of the group finally got their wish and screamed out....(letting
anyone fill in the blanks).
Really screwed them up when "Kenny" got back up a few moments later as the
result a modified "Fix" spell....
