Alright, so question first, then the background:

Would any of the GMs in the audience allow a character with the Learning Stimulus Neural Amplifier nanotech that has been purchased at character creation to have the effect of the nanotech be used, i.e. have the BP costs for language and knowledge skills be reduced by the nanoware's rating?

Now, as for the background:

I'm in the midst of building pregens for the convention at the end of the month. One of the characters I'm building is one that I've had in mind for a while: TB-9, short for TestBed-9, a metahuman nanotech testbed that escaped the lab and made it to the shadows. He has the Wild Card Nanoware Prototype and Gene Freak qualities and is the team's rigger/hacker. So, when I was in the midst of building him, I came up against the issue that prompted this post; do I give him a discount on knowledge and language skills due to his nanoware or not? If I don't, then the character background is weakened, but if I do, then the character is edging too close to munchkin territory.
