Yay, interest!

It's alright, Lazy, just trying to point out that I'd rather not deal with slims in the traditional manner (Ignore they existed), with character sheets involved. Just work with me if you want out, and I'll do something.

Aero: Far, but there's not much of a baseline left to measure agaisnt, except among the Jovian Junta. As far as examples go, though... In a previous game, one of my characters operating a fury biomorph with rather nonstandard implants miscalculated the explosive radius of her shoulder-launched plasmaburst warhead, ending up well within the "Certain kill" ring. Fortunately for her, medichines and fullerene combat armor, she was only mildly seared. The bulkhead, on the other hand...

Then there was wrestling the industrial loadlifter exoskeleon operated by an infomorph hacker and winning... with her bare hands. Okay, so that's mainly due to the fact that the somatics attribute caps out at 40 for everything, but it still works. However remember that this is a post-singularity universe, and beating the shit out of problems is often one of the least effective ways to solve them.

It works sometimes, though. Just don't try punching a proteus nanoswarm to death.

Arhra: I'd be honored to have a real AGI play my game.
