Okay,

We all know how munchie a mage/shama can become once, if his initiation
rating is high enough, he tries to cram cyber into his body...

So the question is this... We all know there are no rules against
Mages/Shamans getting cyber... We all know all they must do is leave a
magic rating of 1 intact, and the initiations will compensate for any loss
(although I'm obviously talking about high-level characters here).

So, should roleplaying dictate the fact that a mage/shaman
(goddamn...magic-user :) ) cannot get cyber? Should we ostracize any player
with munchie intentions, or, as GMs, make them hard as hell on them to get
cyber?

I view with much doubt a Magic-user who intends to have himself cybered-up,
since it's obviously not a way to advance his character's persona/story/etc,
but a blatant move to boost his already formidable stats (we're talking
about a level 2-6 initiate) and powers...

Isn't that the definition of a munckin? Can anyone justify a mage of
perfect health getting cyber, in the name of "character development"?

I don't think so...
