I was just curious if a Cybernetic arm which yields Strength +1 stacks if a character wears Heavy Battle Armor with the mod Strength Enhancing System?

Will the character have Strength +2?

To a maximum of 7 I think(?). I always mix up max skill and max characteristic. One is max 7, the other is max 6(isn`t it?). I think Char is 7, skill is 6.

I think this is correct; I know the Maximums are correct, but if I recall correctly the cyberlegs would stack with the +1 from the Power Armor as long as it keeps to that max threshold.

The max you can raise a characteristic to at the beginning of the game is 5, and you cannot raise a characteristic above 6 with dedication. So, the max natural ability is 6. You can augment this with cybernetics (or power armor systems for brawn), but even then you cannot raise a characteristic above 7.

As for skills, they cannot be raised above 5 by any means that I know of.

It's up to your GM whether cybernetic bonuses will stack with each other or with powered armor. To my knowledge there is nothing that says they do or they don't stack, and unless there has been an official ruling while I've been away from the game, most arguments either way are arguments from silence.

As for skills, they cannot be raised above 5 by any means that I know of.

I'm pretty sure skills can be raised above 5 with cybernetics and/or equipment modifications. I can't remember where I saw/heard it, but I know it's been brought up before. Could it have been on an Order 66 podcast with one of the devs?

EotE Pg 173 "cybernetics can increase a character's skill or characteristic one step above the normal maximum (seven for characteristics, six for skills)."

I stand corrected.
