Well, I guess I should have said IMHO on that... As far as I know there is
no "official" ruling on this (hmm, maybe someone should ask the DLOH about
this just to get the "answer")... In my view, NOBODY can get higher than
+3D6 to initiative. Bioware may be more "friendly" than cyberware, but I'd
say since bio still costs a mage magic points that it works like cyber with
regards to magic/spells...
