All the Attribute loses were from failed Body rolls. But with 2 dice what
can you expect. The character was in a coma for 8 weeks and the
willpower and intelligent were lossed through brain damage.

Can Gene-Therapy correct Brain-damage? IMHO it might since brain cells could
be cloned. This would repair the damage but the Attribute would have to
be brought up to its previous level.

i.e. Feanor

Attribute Level Mod. Level Mod. Racial Maximum

Int 6 5 5
Wil 6 5 5

At the moment if I wanted to regain a willpower of 6 it would cost 11
karma. Same for Int. since it is over the racial maximum. Would it be
reasonable for Gene-therapy to enable a character to regain his former
capacity if not his former abilities.

Excepted. But how many GM's allow a Sorcery Adept to buy astral perception
like Phy Adepts?


- Feanor (We can rebuild him)
