Wouldn't it really suck to be a vamp with cyberware then? I would think
that since a part of someone's essence is lost in the process of
installation, the cyberware in fact dematerializes, because it is
indiscernible from the the rest of the body at that point. But I would
also be one to argue completely on a vamp getting cyberware during the
infection, because of the apparent essence instability within the infected
being. As such, I would reduce it down the the following rules:

* A drawback of being infected is not being able to get any further
cyberware, for it has no permanent essence to rely on.

* An cyberware that was on the infected creature before the fact, will
remain as such. And will travel along with him, even in mist form.

* Clothing and a variable amount of gear can be taken along as well.
Depending on how powerful the infected being is, and his level of mastery
of the power.


That's what I currently would do if any such situation would arise in my
group. I'm open to debate though, because I'm not sure if any book give
specific details in handling this situation.
