[QUOTE="Riley37, post: 7578978, member: 6786839"] In some cyberpunk games, there are levels of EMP and shielding. Here's a scenario: my reflex boosters give +15 DEX, with the +1/4 advantage of level 1 shielding. Your reflex boosters give +10 DEX and have the +3/4 advantage of level 3 shielding. About the same active power points. You generate a level 2 EMP. It fries my gear, without affecting yours. You still have that +10 DEX, while I'm no longer boosted. If I have bones and claws made from high-tech alloys, those should still work fine... unless popping the claws involves an electronic switch linked to a nerve in my arm, in which case either I already have them out or I can't deploy them. Shadowrun goes deep into the combinations of magical boost and technological boost. I don't like some aspects; tech implants damage the subject's "humanity" as well as their capacity for magic. I wear glasses, and I don't think that makes me any less humane OR any less magical. If I had an implant replacement for my cornea, that shouldn't affect my humanity either. [/QUOTE]
