See, this is where my personal 'credibility test' hit the wall. I can see how the augment race can kill the fun, but I also see how there is a big difference between "throw dart" and "throw thermal detonator". If you don't use augments for equipment doesn't the system start to feel artificial? Kind of goes back to the New World Of Darkness problem where 20 Girl Scouts with stale Thin Mints are a match for a Vampire due to how the rules work.

I get that you grant one side a bonus for more appropriate equipment, but does that satisfy most players?
