EUROSOLO in 2020

When creating a Eurosolo in the 2020 edition of Cyberpunk, remember

that he will have an automatic +2 in his General Knowledge skill and

+1 in a non-native European language. This reflects his greater level

of starting education and the EEC's more cosmopolitan theatre of action.

This advantage is balanced by subtracting one point from his Pickup

skills ( in general, Europeans in 2020 have far more structured

societies and less chance to experiment with life on the Street).

A typical EuroSolo will have a Combat Sense of +5 to +7

		EuroSolo Skills Package Recommended Pickup Skills -------- ------ -------- ----------- ------ ------ Awareness Business Sense Handgun Culture Martial Arts Social SMG Driving Wardrobe and Style Languages Athletics Stealth Weapons Tech Pilot (various craft) Corporate Policy Persuation Expert (one subject) 

Cyberwear should be kept to a minimum; cyberoptics,

cyberaudio, boosters, sometimes interface/chipware plugs.

Obvious cyberlimbs and implants are frowned upon.

For more detail, see Eurosource book.

Damage from the DZ 25 DetCard [pg 47] is 3d6 in 3m diameter.

To determine damage of Malorian SubFlechette Gun [pg 48] roll 1d6 for the number of penetrators per round that hit. Each penetrator does 1d6 damage (armor is 1/4). All the penetrators from a single round will hit in the same body area.

Minigrenades for the Militech Launcher [pg 46] are 30eb a piece, except for HEP rounds which are 40eb.

Hollow-nose ammo for the Darra M-9 Rifle [pg 50] is 45eb per box of 100 rounds, but is only available along the pacific rim.

Ammo prices for the Sand W Model F [pg 54] are approx 45eb/dozen for HEP and API rounds; 20eb/dozen for Acid shells.
