Re: Digital Mind Question
What are you paying points for? To be able to run Minecraft in your head?
If you can do complicated Multitasking, that's Compartmentalized Mind. If you have programs doing different tasks with their own skills, I've seen that suggested as being Allies in your head. But if you have Digital Mind and want to run a Diagnostics on yourself? I don't think that would cost extra points. That's what Digital Mind is for. IMO, if you have Digital Mind, and IQ 20. Getting a Complexity 10 Computer that can run better software is a benefit of IQ 20. What's the alternative? Are you going to make someone who wants to play Commander Data pay 100 points in Signature Gear for the computer in his head? |

different Hard or Very Hard skills. Sure, you'd have to pay for the programs, but it's still a little much for just 1 character point. Quote:

Re: Digital Mind Question
The text says you have the computer "by default". It does not say "prerequisite".

Re: Digital Mind Question
Note that Digital Mind itself seems to be one of those traits that is difficult to figure out what it actually does that is worth points, or at least we seemed to have a lot of disagreement on this in the past.

Re: Digital Mind Question
I always thought it was obvious: It turns your mind into a computer with a Complexity equal to at least half your IQ.

What I've wondered about is * If you have Digital Mind, and you buy Mind Reading, for example, does that let you read the minds of computers, rather than those of humans? * If you don't have Digital Mind, can you acquire Mind Reading (Digital) as an ability? Does it have an extra cost? * Alternatively, can you buy Digital Mind with Switchable? Or Compartmentalized Mind with one compartment having Digital Mind? How would you do a human/computer synnoesis?
