Yes, the cyberware's benefit to living persona would be quite nice. On
the other hand, raising unaugmented int above racial max is going to cost a
lot- 30 points to raise it to 10, in your case, and a total of 180 to raise
it to 14. I'm not to impressed by the fact that you "can" raise racial
maximums 50% above norm, especially in cases where the max is above 6. I
mean, a troll "can" have a natural body of 16, but is it going to happen in
any reasonable campaign? Aren't there better things to spend the karma on?
