Cybernetics and Martial Arts

With cybernetics, there are a few extra details that come up when mixing them with martial art styles and techniques. Here are a few that come up.

CYBERNETIC LIMBS AND HANDS
The Strength Rating of individual cybernetic limbs or partial cybernetics can be used on various techniques. When applying subduing damage to an opponent, the character could use their individual hand, arm, or leg Strength in the attempt, as various choke holds can be done either with the arm (example: halfnelson) or hand (example: trachea choke hold) or leg (triangular choke hold).

HAND RAZORS, BLADES, AND SPURS
While these weapons work well in slicing up an opponent, they are not compatible with all actions and techniques. For example, when attempting to throw, grapple, subdue, or disarm an opponent, the character does not get the cyber weapon specialization bonus dice. Additionally, cybernetic weapons can be damaged and broken in combat. This is especially true in Sangre y Acero style of combat. Because the attack using a cybernetic melee weapon is based on the Physical Limit of the character, it doesn’t make sense to reduce the Accuracy of the weapon (that would be a Called Shot to a location). Instead, a successful Called Shot reduces the AP value by 1. If a cybernetic weapon is damaged more than once this way, it can no longer retract properly (if said cyber weapon was retractable). Damage to cyber weapons can only be repaired by a cybernetic specialist at one tenth the price of the cyberware being repaired and require a Logic + Cybertechnology [Mental] (10, 1 hour) Extended Test to complete.

SKILLWIRES
While skillwires help with the applicable skill rating for a character, they cannot allow the use of martial arts techniques without the character first learning the style and techniques separately.
