Hmm..that might be a possibility in a high powered game. Seems like
it would take some powerful ritual magic, etc. Or finding the ritual
might be several runs in and of itself. The other question I have, is
the way I see shapeshifters mindset, why would any of them want
cyberware? If a player could come up with a valid reason, and wanted
to go through the hellacious runs I would put him through, I'd probably
allow it, in that instance.
