Alright, time for an open forum on genetics and the Awakened. With genetic alterations done before birth, should they really impact a person's Bio Index? The BI is meant to reflect changes from a person's normal DNA, but if the alterations are made pre-birth, aren't said alterations now part of their normal DNA?

My take is that there would be a BI cost, but it would not have an impact on the Magic attribute, since these changes were present at birth. I don't see characters as Awakened from birth, it has to manifest. Sure, they may manifest early, but not right from birth (fireballing the doctor'd be funny though).

That's just my spin... comments? Death threats?
