Obviously Cyborgs of all flavors get through this with some hefty advantages, but I'm pretty sure that's not a bug but a feature of the proposal from your perspective. However, the same is true of Juicers and Cyber-Knights--sure, they don't get the "Improved" levels of various combat Edge...

HJ rolls will be tricky. What do PCs get if they roll a low number on one of the Gear Tables, letting them take choice of weapon? Can they even roll on Enchanted Items table? (Likewise, gear results off of F&G will cause much the same difficulty.) More HJ results: Concentration, Channeling and W...

Re: Coyote Mask (Sig Item for Yeitso)

I like Tribe's version, but I did keep the +3, because the "as long as this fight lasts" Fatigue effect is still slightly longer than the Fatigue from the generic Modifier. (Ie, Fatigue from Smite would, i believe, last for 1 round, period. So this is definitely more useful than that.)

Oh, yeah, your thing was a heavy influence. But since I took Strong-Willed as a personal Edge, and since Iron Will doesn't really help with corruption rolls, I decided the Boost Spirit option would be cool.

Yeah, I noticed a couple nights ago that Edges no longer raise activation costs on TW gear. I was surprised that wasn't a bigger deal, really, but it does make it a little more viable to stack Edges on something.
