I was flipping through Man and Machine tonight, avoiding homework and
studying for Latin, when something came to me:

What happens if you combine Chloroplast skin and Symbiotes? It would seem
to me that, if you ate regularly, chloroplast skin could be used to fuel
your symbiotes. Obviously, this isn't going to be the best of options, but
if you're a troll already, no one is really going to notice if you turn a
bit more green than usual. If you add a clean metabolism (which increases
what you get out of the food you eat), it would seem that the increased food
costs from Level one, maybe even level 2 symbiotes would be off-set.

Any comments on what effect this would have, in game terms?

Well, first of all, Trolls in SR aren't particulauly green, are they?
I'd think, more typically an Elf...

Secondly, Realistically, -2 or more social disads. And, no barcrawling
in Humanis territory. That's right out.
