<<Like say a strength kinda implant, what would it do exactly, it wouldn't change a racial stat modifier? Or might it simply do something like give +5 to strength? Or maybe even a % strength bonus, depending on what yers is...
None of this is set in stone yet...but I was thinking that implants that effect stats will give a hard number bonus. So a simple strength implant would give you +3 to strength. Implants involving skills will give a percentage bonus, so your cyber eye will give you a +5% to targetting when using a smartlinked weapon.

Hey Morrigan, Cyber Tronic Eyes' would be buttery. IE night vision capable. Also get basically a Scope right there on one of your eyes for long distance weapons. IE a snipper would benefit heavily from this. Not saying we have snippers.. But something along the longs would be well used.

On the subject of sniping. I've always thought it might be cool to allow snipers to target and shoot enemies in nearby rooms as long as the line of vision is clear. Any thoughts?

Couple of concerns...
#1 - The sniper can snipe with little penalty or risk.
#2 - Determining what's in the way in a realistic manner could be a huge pain.

I know, it's one of those dream systems I've thought about for quite a while.
First, it would have to require a good amount of skill.
Second, even with a good amount of skill, the level of success would be slim until the character worked up a huge amount of skill.
To put in some elements of risk, if the sniper fails, then the target would spot him or her. If it is a PC, then they could act accordingly. If it is an NPC, that NPC could move to the room and begin to engage the sniper.
In real life, snipers have a very unfair advantage, but they train for years to become good at it. Cost of the weapons, scopes and amo would keep sniping from being a preferred method of hunting.
Also, if adjacent rooms are connect by an exit that should be good enough in most cases to determine if a sniper can see a target.
Just some thoughts.

Well, Myst, All of that goes into it as does plan out marksmenship. If you can't shoot a gun worth beans even if you have crud loads of snipping you arn't going to be able to shoot a gun well. I know from experience it takes alot of skill to be able to kill a groundhog at 400yards. Now most snipers i've meet in my life and shooting at 1000yards plus. First off if you don't have alot of experience with a gun you have the possiablity of flenching when you squeze the trigger. Thus you will miss at 1000yards. So if we do implament it you would need tons of skills to be able to do it.

I agree, sniping would take a good deal of skill in a bunch of areas; marksmanship, weapon, perception, others that I can't think of right now... Besides skill, anyone interested in sniping would need to have a good amount of cash on hand for equpiment, those implants aren't gonna come cheap
