What Trait For Not Sensing Pain?

[scc]

OK, more stuff for that cybernetics I mentioned a couple of days ago, trait is used to represent deadened or absent sense of pain? I'm asking because it's quite possible early cyberware doesn't allow users to feel pain or not to feel it properly. And what would be the likely side effects, no pain for the hands might well give you No Fine Manipulators because you can't sense when your about to break and egg for example.

High Pain Threshold and/or Numb, depending on the situation. Numb makes a good "Temporary Disadvantage" to apply to cybernetics.

[scc]

Looking them up it looks to be both, which makes for a net -10%. It doesn't exactly match what I'm after, which is trying to offer early or cheap cyberware that doesn't have a full set of pain (and other) receptors.

What effects are you looking to model? Go from there, then maybe we can narrow it in.

And sidenote, 'not feeling pain' if it stops Shock Penalties, will always have HPT... so if you want "cheap cyberware" then you don't want "doesn't feel pain". You want "Feels Things Inconsistently" which for say hands can give "Ham Fisted" without interfering with pain receptors, or even add in "Low Pain Threshold" as it over-stimulates due to damage.

Super Natural Invulnerability Lvl1 ignores pain completely (HPT already included in the cost).

Some damage Modifiers may work too.

Another big bonus is unliving armour, you can only be repaired and there is no self healing.

I think NDD proposed these in the forums many years ago. They've since been codified in, frex, Powers: Divine Favor.

Originally from here.

But it later showed up in Divine Favor, and later still Powers the weird

Thanks! I'll have to read up on those.
