A PC Metahuman race is any race that fits the following qualifications:

1) A race classified as Homo Sapien something. This means the race must conform
to the human physical standard and be interfertile with the other Homo Sapien
sub-breeds.

2) A race that is not infected with the HMHVV.

3) A race possessing enhanced vision, a total of +3 to Attributes, and from
zero to two additional abilities. These extra abilites are either derived
from size (+1 Reach), additional biological protusions (dermal plating,
horns), or biophysical differences (+2 dice vs Disease, Task Pool) that are
generally duplicatable by cyberware, bioware or reconstructive techniques.

See Ya in Shadows,

P.S. Anybody got a copy of the race table I sent out. I deleted it and want
to have it again.
