Combat Posture Refinement
You lean into the fray..

I would like it if you could dictate your starting posture with one of those interesting things Slither referenced such as:

* create cyberware that lets you change postures faster.

* allow weapon specialization to make switching postures faster.

* drugs allowing you to change posture faster

* MA specialization allowing you to change postures faster.

* Other things of that nature.

I also had an idea that maybe starting posture could be dictated by a combination of Weapon Type+Crowd Size/Environment Type+(Attacker or Defender) but I have serious reservations that this may be OP and game-breaking to our well-vetted combat system.

Upon further consideration, I think this would need to have a limiting factor. I'm thinking something like… an aggression injection that makes you start in KAMIKAZE but like, you can't change from that posture. Or maybe it takes twice as long to be anything except kamikaze...

Sounds like a job for Synaptic Stimulus II.

I personally also like things that aren't tied to nanos or gear, as unless you have a specific job or don't live in the Mix, it can be hard to hold onto that stuff. Weapon specialization letting you drop into a particular stance that suits that weapon type (guarded for MA, kamikaze for knives, defensive for guns) would be neat.
