I like this addendum.

Well, I don't have the book in front of me, but if I remember right the
adrenal pump also boosts quickness and reaction. The "attack" attribute
represents how effective the user is in combat not how strong they are, so
in my opinion, quickness and reaction bonuses from the RPG would affect
the runner's attack attribute in the CCG. Do you not agree? And i'll
check, but I thought it boosted body by one, maybe I got my bioware
jumbled. Maybe this would be more reflective of the RPG's counterpart.

I guess I didn't feel that a +1/+1 would be worth it, the 1 upkeep is
needed to represent the enhanced food intake of the user because of the
gland working harder. Is this better?
Cost: 1/1Y
Text: 2 Body Cost. +1/+1 to user.

I don't think that that accurately reflects what the Pain Editor would do.
I agree, the user should have stamina though, but I like the doubling of
the body because it reflects the ability of the editor to keep the runner
conscious through a ton of damage, though I believe in the RPG it only
assits with mental damage in this way. But then again, I don't have my
book with me.
Thanks for the input, I _do_ appreciate it. Any more?
