THe novel 'House of the Sun' mentions a skin treatment that gives you the
equivilent of factor 35 sunblock all over. This isn't canon but it's a good
idea so I wondered what people think would be a decent bio-index and cost
for it.

My current PC's from Hawai'i and whilst it's useless in Seattle it fits in
with his background. I asked this same question on the list years ago but
lost the answer.

Cheers.

Nothing more than 0.2, and maybe 0.1 (after all, it's purely cosmetic).
Cost? Maybe $2K-4K. I don't know... it seems expensive for sunblock, but
it _is_ bioware... and think of all the money and time saved!

Not useless in Seattle! There's still UV on cloudy days, man :) But
that'd be soooo good for Hawai'i.

I'd call it cosmetic bioware and give 10,000¥ price tag and a body index
of .2

I'd say 0.4 BI and 5000 with a street index of 0.75.

That qualifies as rather simple. I don't have M&M here with me right
now, so I don't know about the nuyen cost (half or so the cost of
bio-tatoos sounds about right), but .1 Bio Index (or even less...) as
essentially cosmetic bioware fits about right. "Chloroplast skin"
(which would _not_ supply protein needs, BTW, just caloric &
carbohydrate) would automatically include this, as would Orthoskin and
Dermal Sheathing.
