section to bioware, (I don't have the book in front of me, so I can't give a
page and paragraph) some of the things that are said are: 1) Bioware doesn't
drop your Body attribute--the Body att. only limits the amount of bioware you
can get (GMs might want to have it drop body for game balance); 2) For
magically active characters, bioware reduces Essence by the Body cost
number in the listing (make that the body index). That's what ShadowTech
says.
The way we play it in our group is that bioware reduces Body
rating, but does not reduce Essence. That way mages can get Synaptic
Accelerators to increase their speed without harming their magic. Of course,
we (the players()s) think that also our GM might not have read that part,
so we're not going to blurt too much out so he doesn't change our characters
that we're running now. But the new characters I'm writing up are using the
rules in ShadowTech.
That's enough for now I believe. See you all around.
