Subject: Bio/Cyberware question in RA:S
Date: Tue, 7 Sep 1999 12:05:49 +0200
According to Jeff, at 20:34 on 6 Sep 99, the word on
the street was...

> Softlink

An updated version of the chipjack; it has a rating that indicates how
many chips can be plugged into it at any one time. (E.g. a softlink-2 can
handle two chips; highest rating is 4.)

> Cerebral Booster

Bioware that enhanced cognitive abilities etc. In game terms, it adds its
level (max. 2) to Intelligence.

> Synaptic Accelerator

Bioware that gives +1D6 initiative per level (max. 2) and, at level 1, is
cumulative with move by wire...

> Tracheal Filter

A bioware filter in the throat to get rid of airborne particles.

> Math SPU

A chip that increases your Math skill by its level (max. 4).

> Encephalon

A sophisticated computer that adds half its level (max. 4) to your
Intelligence and gives you the ability to use skillsofts without the need
for a knowsoft link.

> Enhanced Articulation

Bioware that puts a Teflon-like coating on the joints in your skeleton,
giving one extra die for active skills as well as +1 Reaction.

> and what are Ratings on a Datajack

They indicate the data flow rate (DFR) of the datajack: the higher the
rating, the more megapulses can go through the datajack per turn. It has
hardly any real game effect, though.
