I'm doing some fiddling with my 'New Attica' fictional setting, which is hard-SF, pre-nanotech, roughly TL9-10ish. One of the main characters, Dee, became a quadruple amputee during some complicated backstory, and has since acquired a selection of interchangeable prosthetics - including a mermaid's tail that fits in her leg sockets, and feathery wings she can swap out her arms for (much more useful in freefall and low-grav than in Earth's gravity well).
A new part of the source material being written in comic form, some of the work-in-progress sketches viewable at http://www.datapacrat.com/sketches/FieldTest.html , is about swapping out two legs for four - becoming a cybernetic centaur, of sorts. I'm thinking that at least for this case, it may be better to stat the thing out in 3e GURPS Vehicles/Robots terms, including modular sockets, battery kWs, and the like, rather than as pure point-based character-sheet info. Do you think that's a sane way to go about it? And, whether you do or not, might you have any suggestions on the build?
