*sigh* Yes, bioware has a Body Cost, which adds to your Body Index when
you buy it. However, as Shadowtech specifically states, a magician
character must ALSO pay Essence equal to the Body Cost of the bioware.
Other characters (not magically active) get only the Body Index, which may
not exceed the character's Body unless you want to risk system shock (+1
to all Body tests for every point by which your Body Index exceeds your
Body rating).
