Well, there are two problems with this. First, I doubt he could 'Buy the
book' Have you tried finding Shadowtech lately, it being a 1st edition
book. Near impossible, though not quite as hard as finding something like
Universal Brotherhood. Second...umm, not sure what the second one was...oh
yeah, most of it is going to change when Man and machine comes out, which
as I remember, will be sometime near the end of Sept. Since it will then
become irrelevant, or at least changed, I will post the following basic
descriptions of the above listed bio/cyberware
And then I realized I can't find my own copy of Shadowtech!! Gah! So, the
following descriptions are from memory, and may be wrong
Cerebral Booster (bioware) Increases intelligence, and higher levels give a
'task pool' for knowledge/mental skills
Synaptic Accelerator (bio) Increases initiative (1d6 per level, I think)
Tracheal Filter Protects against gasses
Math SPU (cyber) Useful for deckers, can't remember exact function
Encephalon (cyber) Like a cerebral booster, sort of, but cyberware
Enhanced Articulation (bio) Increases reaction by 1 and one extra dice for
athletics...smoothens and slickens joints with teflon, sort of
and what are Ratings on a Datajack can't recall off hand
Remember folks, before you say 'buy the book' that is oft impossible for
very old SR stuff
