All of these questions depend on what kind of undead you are talking about.

The non-Regenerating type for Cyborgs or rather the remaining organic parts of said Borg being undead. (as regen pushes out Cybernetics). That said Could an Undead brain command Cybernetics?

Cyber-knights and Psychics undead types that allow use of the powers. I know a Vamp is given..but how about a intelligent or even non-intelligent type not a vampire? Would powers become reactive and by instinct become active in combat?

Me thinks an undead Psi-tech might be a thing to fear...

Its all opinion but:

I would say its up to you.

IMO I would agree to regenerative undead not having cybernetics.
I would say no to Cyber Knights as they may loose their zen like persona/outlook/meditiation/spiritualism which makes them part of the OCC, but I mmay be looking for a way to nerf it.

Psychic Mummies are canon btw. So there's a good starting point.

You could always check out the undead juicers as a start for undead borgs.
personally, I would let intelligent undead have their psionics. tho I might make them feed off the living to get or regain I.S.P. .

All Psionics are lost when you become undead.

That's why I had the keen idea "reactive Psionics may stay. but activate instinctively..say a body field that kicks in during combat, a fire immunity when one of the undead starts to get burned...that sort of thing. But not as an active thing that the undead can activate at will.

I like that. They feed liks Psi-Stalker or Psi-slayer...that would work nicely.

Depends on the undead, some (like vampires) keep them but at some kind of reduction if memory serves.

Given implants and cybernetics are built to interface with living tissue and undead are definitely not living tissue no they can't still use them. They'd require some kind of magical equivalent built for undead.

Again probably depends on the undead, and what level the Cyber-knight is. Lower levels the cyber-armor is unliving so would likely be rejected or quickly fall apart at higher levels the cyber-armor becomes a living part of them so probably would also remain as a functioning part of them after they've become an undead.

K, then I'm comfortable with a undead Cyber-Knight.

And does open the field to Magical Cybernetics for Borgs and magical types such as demons and others.

There are already some magical cybernetics around, the TW cybernetics from the Siege of Tolkeen series for example for that one demonic race that become utterly beholden to the people of Tolkeen for giving them the gift of the magical cybernetic limbs. While I don't have the book I think there are magical cybernetics in one of the Canadian books, and the Anti-Monster OCC is a complete Full Conversion magical cyborg.

Thanks, that solves most of my Cyber knight issue. now the fun part of typing it out....
