Hmmm, In looking over ShadowTech, I'm coming to realize all of the
different ways they are presenting to deal with toxins and other
nasties that your poor character might become exposed to.

Ok, here is my question:

Is there any reason (besides money) to not simply get a
Full-Spectrum immunization, which, according to the book, "renders
the subject immune to the effects of almost all standard-level
pathogens and known toxic compounds". In my book, that means you
are immune to the common cold, things like Doom or Gamma-Antrax,
cyanide (a compound), etc etc. Not a bad deal for 300k and NO body.

That or you can get things like Pathogenic defense and Toxin
filters (24k per level, .2 body per level EACH) and they simply
reduce the damage code, not provide an immunity.

Am I missing something?

If I remember correctly, the Full-Spectrum Immunization is only a
temporary solution... Whereas the Pathogenic Defense and Toxin Filters are
permanent solutions...They will not become less effective over time, like the
Immunizations...

Just my rememberances, I'm not looking at my books just now.
