So, I have a question about how these are bought. The core rule book says that they only give a characteristic benefit if both legs are replaced, and that they most be purchased as a pair. The equipment section lists them as "Cybernetic LEG", not legs. Does this mean that each leg costs 10,000 credits, for a total of 20,000 credits to get the benefit? But the book says they MUST be purchased as a pair, implying the cost is for the pair.

Can someone explain this to me?

Bought as a pair for the +1 not to just walk.

I think this one is answered in the thread entitled "FFG Developer Answered Questions”.

But to elaborate on what 2P51 said, if you’re getting “RepliLimbs”, so that the cybernetic replacement is no better and no worse than the otherwise normal limb it should be replacing, then you can buy those one at a time. You don’t need to replace both legs just to get back to “normal” function.

But if you’re buying cybernetic legs that give you a bonus, then you do have to buy them as a pair, even though they are priced per each individual leg.

The requirement to have 2 of the same legs/arms has been clarified, but as to whether 10000 credits gets you one or two has not. And no response was sent to me when I asked that of the Devs. It's an argument that's been had time and time again on these forums, so no point arguing it here. But your question has never been fully answered.

I would say that it's 5,000 CR per arm or leg. That puts it in line with similar cybernetics.

For example, a prosthetic replacement limb (arm or leg) with no special bonus costs 2,000 CR each.

A cyberscanner arm with a scanner built in costs 4,000 CR, so it's double the cost of a limb that doesn't have any bonuses.

Or for another 1,000 CR, you can have a cybernetic arm that instead gives you a permanent Brawn or Agility bonus. If you need a pair of replacement arms it's double that cost.

For the same cost, you can replace your legs, but you have to do both at the same time for 10,000 CR total.

It doesn't make sense that the cost of a single cybernetic leg is what is listed since you'd never buy a single cybernetic leg. You'd spend 10,000 CR for a single leg without getting a bonus from it? Because you can't get the bonus without buying a pair. And if you just need to replace a leg and don't need a bonus you can get one for 1/5th of the price.

It only makes sense for 10,000 CR to be the price of a pair of limbs, either arms or legs.

For me it's the 13,000cr power armour that provides +1 Brawn that's the best reason for legs to be 10,000 a pair. The armour is modifiable, provides defence and doesn't use a cybernetic slot. It can also be taken off so doesn't have the stigma attached to it of cybernetics. That all seems like 3000cr worth instead of a 7000cr discount.

I would say cybernetic legs are bought individually. Even though they have to be installed in pairs to get the benefit, there will be cases when a Critical (or possibly a powerful Ion weapon) will take one of the legs out and you will need to buy/construct a replacement.

For a moment let's ignore the text in the description of the item that says, "Note that cyberlegs must be purchased as a pair." Are you charging 10,000 CR per leg?

So basically, what I'm getting is that there is no definitive answer.

I suppose I'll just make a definitive ruling for my games and stick to it.

There is, you don't get the bonus unless you have the pair, and the book says a leg, as in singular, costs 10,000. The devs are very literal in their language, and the use of the singular means a single leg is purchased separately.

I've noticed a proofing error between the books. Edge has the Cybernetic Legs listed singly (Cybernetic Leg) whereas AoR and FaD have it listed plurally (Cybernetic Legs). Since 2 out of 3 books list the Cybernetic Legs as plural, I would say you're buying the pair for 10,000. Additionally, the Repli-Limb Prosthetic (aka Luke's right hand) costs 2,000 and doesn't provide any bonus other than replacing the limb to give full functionality.

Even in EotE, if you look at the descriptions of the cybernetics, the titles are plural (arms and legs). It's only singular on the cost chart.

Again I'll repeat if someone looses a leg and wants the enhanced version they have 2 choices:

1. Get a replilimb and a suit of power armour

2. Get a pair of cyber legs (and hack off their perfectly functional one)

The first option costs 15,000 credits, and provides arguably the best armour in the game, highly customisable with 2 defence and 2 soak plus an increase to brawn.

The second option either costs 10,000 or 20,000 credits and provides you with +1 brawn which also includes +1 soak.

Both are vulnerable to ion weapons, but the armour can be removed for more formal occasions, while the legs are obvious and permanent (without spending another 4k on replilimbs to "swap out" and a friendly GM)

Essentially the legs are not worth 20,000 by that standard, no one would even bother, there is no balance. Anyway I asked the question of the developers again, we will see.

The legs as a set cost 10,000 but far better to have a pair of ion resistant ones crafted for additional cost, as not being able to walk sucks.

Even obvious cyberlumbs can be hidden under bulky and/or loose clothing. Concealing robes (FaD Core) should do the trick for hiding you metal legs.
