Title: Six Million Dollar Man challenge
Post by: All4BigGuns on <10-10-11/1846:42>
Okay, I haven't done it myself, and I am kinda scared what kind of results I'd get doing this, but I would like to put a challenge to people out there.

The challenge is this: Build a 400 BP character (fully a normal and legal character to start with), except with no implants. Only non-augmentation gear at the start and see what you can come up with adding in six million nuyen worth of cyberware, bioware, nanoware and/or genetech.

No inflation adjustment for 1972 dollars?

Nope. I just wanna see what people come up with. Though, like I said, I am kinda scared to see the results...

So, 400 BP at creation, then toss 6,000,000¥ of augments after creation, correct? I assume we're looking at deltaware?

Posting later tonight. :D

Okay, add Adapsin (30,000¥ and .2 Essence), drops the Essence cost down a bit, add in a Nano-Biomonitor (.12 Essence, 100,000¥) and a Nano-Hive (Rating 2, R3 Control Rig Booster - 15,000¥ and R6 Implant Medics - 72,085¥; 0.4 Essence and 287,085¥). Brings the total Essence to 0.305 and cost to 1,758,785¥.

Rating 1 Reaction Enhancers.
And take a year out of his life to give him extensive genetherapy. They cost a little essence and a lot of nuyen.
But besides taking huge amounts of gear I really can't se how you could spend 6 millions.

Ah, yes off cause. Move-by-Wire costs a fortune.
And then some expensive bioware. I still didn't think it would cost that much, but I stand corrected  :-[
