Combat Arm from CSC

Whilst sword fighting (for example) does normally use most of the body (you are not standing square on trading blows like the automata on a clock tower banging on the bell),

Recalling the Vorkosigan Saga, you actually could replace one, or two, legs with an artificial arm.

Which should increase your climbing rate.

Which is why I shy away from the augmentations. There is a tricky balance of why not four arms rather than 2 arms 2 legs? Why not just 4 arms and 2 legs?

Like so many things in Charted Space (robot crews, drones everywhere) that don't happen on a regular basis the underlying question of why?

My answer to my players is:
(From Matt)..."and that the focus of the game is very firmly fixed upon people. One path may be more 'realistic', but if it fundamentally changes Traveller, that is a backwards step.
From BOB We are not trying to run a simulation; we are playing a game. We make choices to abstract things to make it fun for everyone.
Traveller is about an idea of the future. It is as much science fiction as it is science fact."
