And a pissbreak that'll last 5 damned minutes.

[CanRay]

Damn you USAers and your caffeinated Mountain Dew!!!

[beowulf_of_wa]

[JustADude]

Damn you USAers and your caffeinated Mountain Dew!!!

You don't have caffeine in your Dew?!

Oh, you poor, poor person!

*smuggles CanRay a few cases*

CanRay, I keep telling you, move away from that godforsaken wasteland, and come to the US. Sure, you don't have things like a health care system that you don't have to sell a kidney to take advantage of, but you have the more important things, like gaming groups and caffeinated beverages.

[beowulf_of_wa]

and stuff that gets stopped at the border, like swords and gaming  books.

Also when talking about benefits of doing this, don't forget the awesome reduction to falling distance. Almost nothing beats jumping out of a tenth floor window and casually walking away from a three point landing for quick escape.

[CitizenJoe]

They work the other way too.  Brace yourself against a wall and you can kick someone across the room.

Also, don't forget you can use a hostile to break your landing.

I figure they'll take just as much falling damage as you would've, before the Jacks were factored in. Not to mention, if I'm GMing, I'd add the net hits on your Agility + Unarmed test to successfully land on them, since you're trying to hurt them when you land on them.

Hydraulic jacks in arms = Dhalsim from Street Fighter

I just had a thought.

Since Modular Cyberlimbs have UCCP joints, is there anything stopping you from attaching a lower leg to your elbow, with an internal jump jack in that lower leg?

Speaking of Hydraulic Jacks, is there a way to put them in a character's cyberarms?

Nope they're Legs accessoires

Hough !

Although if you ask very nice to your GM you might be able to get a similar accessory for arms.  I do wonder what's the use of that though?

[Mirikon]

You could jump while doing handstands?

[beowulf_of_wa]

for when you really wanna give your friend a push!

[Stahlseele]

Easy: Put buddies Feet on your hands. Point upwards.
Instant ejection seat!
Point hands downward, propell yourself up after them.
And don't forget about lobbing grenades and the such!
