I'm dividing by four because Symmetry has the Memory Upgrade which halves the cost of Talent/Aptitude skills. Tier 3 is already 1/2*n XP, half of that would be 1/4*n XP. I bet you're right about the naught to zero, though. I'll edit that post and see what I get.
Post edited and oddly enough, it works out perfectly.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go have a good cry. (What with my ego being shattered into itty bitty bits and all.)

Silly me...but it should add 2 or so to your totals...maybe 3 or 4. Not much, since he's already over, but I'll double check on my end.

I'm tempted to unleash Mikal for some more scathing commentary, but I'll let it slide, just this once.

I count 150, exactly - but then, with my track record who know what that really means.
Send your sheet in .doc format to gerard_paloma (at) bladesandbarmaids.net and you're officially part of the SDnet Cyberpunk campaign (oh, you poor lifeless bastard). I don't know where you'll fit in at the moment, though. Arthur'll be the one to integrate you into the game all proper-like.

His attempt to scream brings only blood to his mouth, before his vision fades, never to return.
This couldn't happen to me. I have another heart somewhere. Of course, I never stated where the other heart is located... but uh... I'll figure it out.
Well, Dirk and Lennox are going to have a difficult time getting along... Pragmatist that he is, during combat he may use the most secure form of communication possible, he will ask your permission of course... same with everyone... And unresolbed issues with Blaine... those will be fun to deal with.
I am thinking, giving his memeory back at the nearest opportunity perhaps

Heh...oh, just wait until Mikal's little issues with telepaths have been revealed...

The replacement heart is a backup heart? OK well that changes things then. I thought it was a mechanical replacement for the real thing.

It can also be installed any place in the body with enough space as a backup heart, remove the incapacitation and death effects from heart damage on the hit table unless both hearts are taken out, but this requires a Circulatory regulator.
Seeing as there I didn't pick a spot where the replacement was, it could be understood that it actually replaced the natural heart.
That whole "wanted" and "powerful enemy" thing.
