I've been playing a gunslinger and an Agent EX on normal for a while now.
My Agent has an DV of 10 from a Dataport II and is described as a Cybered Human.
My Gunslinger has a DV of 70 from various implants and is described as a cyberfreak.
Though I don't seem to detect any noticeable difference in them gaining experience from jobs and winning fights (though I tend to escape and evade a lot more with my Agent EX).
I had thought that DV was supposed to affect the experience gain and so I've held back from giving my Agent the cybernetic makeover I would like to offer her.
Any thoughts on this?

Don't worry about DV early on. Cyber up!
When your character is tough enough to earn some serious cash and get non-cyber equipment (weapons & armor), go to a doctor and painfully remove all the metallic crap in your body and return to a normal human being with full XP-earning potential!

That's what I thought. The thing is getting cybered up doesn't seem to reduce XP earning. I don't see the advantages in staying staying human. Anyway, I'll be keeping that precious Dataport.  |

The help guide (if I remember correctly) says that a 300 side die is rolled vs your DV if your roll is equal or less no xp for joo!,if its higher you learned stuff..yay!  |

Correct, therefore 70DV around a 20% penalty in XP and a +4 bonus to intimidation.

Yup you're right. Bad thread. I'm sorry. Spent another 2 hours with my gunslinger and yes I don't get xp for a fight I won. Gonna strip him down to 30 dv. Thanks and sorry for the poor checking.

Don't think you need to apologize, what if it wasn't working....you would have drawn attention to this and helped.
Other new people can look at this and go "Ohhh that's how it works"
People who missed that part in the help file may reread it realizing they missed a few key things.
You helped in many ways and made me think more on DV and what it does.
