Youngest possible

Unread post by HarleeKnight »

What is the youngest age possible to be a Cyber-Knight? Is it possible to be a child Cyber-Knight?

Theoretically? Yes. Practically, it would be difficult.

Per SoT4 p26, it requires "years" of training under a Cyber-Knight of at least 6th level. That Knight is unlikely to sit around a nice, quiet area where it's safe to train a small child. Rather, he's going to be traveling and fighting, so the squire needs to be old enough to accompany him.

However, I don't think a firm age has evr been published.

Itwouldalsodepend on the race of the being in question.

I was thinking about the offspring of two Cyber-Knights, raised by them as they traveled the countryside and learning from them as they grew older. If all he ever learned was how to be a Cyber-Knight, what would the youngest age be? I was thinking early to mid-teens, 12-16 years old.

There might be another factor that would limit when you become a Cyber-Knight... The Cyber-Armor* itself since it can't grow with the subject, and would have to be removed and replaced with another version to accommodate any growth of the subject (so mid to late teens, it 15-18). I would imagine that other cybernetic/bionic implants also have this issue unless you go Full-Conversion.

*this is the Pre-Living evolution status they get after a certain level as of the SoT/RUE update. The RMB-era version of the CK doesn't get this "update", so its regular old Cyber Armor.
