Hi All,

I think the answer is yes but I wanted to check.

can a cybernetic limb increase an ability above 6? if it can, and it boosts an attribute to 6 does the cap increase to 7 so that a subsequent application of dedication increases it from 6 to 7?

Yes to all.

No to all.

Characteristics cannot be boosted over 6 except for temporarily with specific abilities.

EDIT:

EotE Page 173 under "Cybernetic Enhancements/Replacements"

".... The combination of purchased increases and the increases provided by cybernetics can increase a character's skill or characteristic one step above the normal maximum"

So, I stand corrected. You can boost characteristics and skills, apparently. Go figure.

Pg 173: The combination of purchased increases and the increases provided by cybernetics can increase a character's skill or characteristic one step above the normal maximum.

can a cybernetic limb increase an ability above 6? if it can, and it boosts an attribute to 6 does the cap increase to 7 so that a subsequent application of dedication increases it from 6 to 7?

A cybernetic limb can give you a +1 to your Brawn or your Agility, and that’s a +1 regardless of what the current score is.

So, if you have taken Dedication to raise your Brawn or Agility to the normal max of 6, then you could use a cybernetic limb to increase that to 7.

My understanding of how it works is that the cybernetics does not change your brawn. Just like armor master does not increase the soak of armor. They both add a +1, therefore increasing the bonuses gained but not actually changing the core statistic.

An attribute-increasing cybernetic limb will raise the max of that attribute "one step above" the normal of 6 to 7. Likewise, a skill-increasing cybernetic limb will raise the max of that skill "one step beyond" the normal of 5 to 6. So, attributes can be raised to 7 and skills to 6.
