Re: [HOE] Corrected cyborg equipment list

["Kai Tave" <kaitave@harborside.com>]

Two things.

1).  The energy drain for the various shield types is a bit off.  The Energy
Shield should only be 3 Drain, while the Arcane Shield should be 4.  This
was an official ruling, and it makes more sense anyway.

2).  This is just me, but I set the damage for the M-2011A to 5d6 rather
than 4d8.  My reasoning is that if .357 Magnum is 3d6, .44 Magnum and .50 AE
are 4d6, the next highest pistol cartridge should be 5d6.  Plus, 5d6 is
still a serious dose of hurt; it's almost as powerful as a shotgun slug, in
convenient handgun form.

Other than that, it looks good (if a bit small on the font size).
