The first thing I'd lose is the magic points, of course, and I'd replace the 'Sanity' score with a 'Humanity' score. You'd work it out the same way and roll against it when seeing something horrific, such as a murder or a nasty act of violence, and this is way of becoming desentisised to it. Humanity lowers with acts of violence and choices of an immoral nature, but rises with acts of heroism, kindness and things considered selfless.
Replicants would start with a very low Humanity score - say, one-fifth of a standard starting score - which makes them easier to spot, especially with a Voight-Kampff machine. But, if a player plays one then there's always a chance that they could become a lot more human as they experience and do things like a normal human being. This would make them cling to life much more when the fourth year came along.
Other than that, I'd treat it like Sanity for both human beings and replicants, along with all the neurosis and phobias that come with it.
That's kinda cool. I like that. I've always loved the Cyberpunk style.
ReplyDeleteHave you put any thought as to how you'd model the equipment?
Love this idea.
ReplyDeleteI'll put up another post soon detailing how I'd use the PKD Blaster and the Voight-Kampff machine.
ReplyDeletevery cool idea, and I think CoC would do cyberpunk very well too...
