that everybody is complaining about how it works.
I had a team of munchkins, munchkins to the core that cared about nothing
but killing and having the best equipment. Well one day, after getting
tired of the physical adept complaining that is 8 (2D6) wasn't fast
enough, and the troll using his 20M bow to take down enemies, I fought
back.
I gave them EXACTLY what they wanted, more gear. Unfortunately for them,
I gave them gear that wasn't quite what they expected.
One got the 360 degree modification. It was fun actually because it
forced him to roleplay. I had him go through an entire phase of
aclimation to the system where he basically was blind. He decided after a
time that he didn't like the bomber cap that the device was attached to
and mounted into his optical nerves through. Amazingly, it forced him to
roleplay through his ailments and dislike of the entire system.
Too bad I wasn't nearly as nice to the physad. The chemical treatments
that gave her a permanent +2 to reaction but lowered all her mental
attribues by 1 (as well as their maximum) and gave her a drooling problem
didn't please her off too much.
The Troll actually quit the game because of the cyberarm with no strength
modifications he was given. Nevermind the cool wizzer survailence and
swiss army hand he was given.
