}One little note.... this may just be due to the fact that you said you use
}lotsa house rules in your games, but just for clarification, according to the
}SRII rulebook ELVES AND DWARVES DO NOT GOBLINIZE. They're born that way. UGE
}(Unexplained Genetic Mutation) or "goblinization" occured several years AFTER
}the first elven and dwarven births, resulting in the expression of humans into
}orks and trolls. Goblinization NEVER turns humans into elves and dwarves, and
}in 2055, when most SR campaigns are set, goblinization of anyone is very
}uncommon, as most orks and trolls are born that way, too. Please don't take
}offense if your game is set up different, I just point out what the books say.

Accepted, actually the uneffected members of the group argued
that rule. Unfortunately for us the GM is in his final year of
Genetics...... He went into great detail to explain to use how the
scientist (who we fed to ghouls) created the serum that caused the
goblinization and how it effected the individuals metabolism.
Explaining that to 1 Computer Science, 1 Social Science, 1 Muscian, 1
Electrical Engineer students. Guess who won. Still joy did pan out,
the street sam started to goblinize into a troll, paying a hell of a
lot of nuyen (and loosing the last of his essence) he managed to
divert the process from that of troll to elf.. The cosmetic changes
also cost extra... ;-)
