Ok seeing as symbiotes are normal bioware and not cultured can you get cultured symbiotes and have them work better?

I don't think you'd get more healing time taken off... Just less Bio Index (And they don't count themselves, so...), as well as a drop in cash.

You can culture symbiotes. However, this only lowers their bio-index cost, it does not make them work better. |

it might make them work better indirectly, since total bio index has an effect on healing, first aid, and doctoring.

While this is true, according to the new errata the Bio-Index for Symbiotes is not added in when calculating those penalties. |

Thanks chummers if I have more questions i'll ask.
Although it would be cool in some cases if you cultured certain bioware though not all bioware that you got double the effect. I say not all because the munchkins would love a +8 to strength & quickness for 2.4 bio index and for only the low low cost of 720,000 :nuyen: . But anywho like I said thanks. |

Aren't cultured tailored pheremones more powerful than the standard model? I don't have my books handy to look right now, but I'm pretty sure that's the case.

Plus the cultured cerebral booster are significantly better than the non-cultered ones. Same with Mem Enhancer.

Psst, Machinae... neural implants are cultured already. There are no non-cultured versions.

Eh...Mem Enhancer and Cerebral Booster are only available as cultured bioware. That's factored into their cost and bio-index impact already. |

:D And Sphynx is the winner of the sarcasm award!
I KNOW you can only buy cultured Cerebral Boosters (in the book), but you gotta know that they have non-cultured ones too. Heck, just use someone else's DNA. sheesh. I was being FUNNY. The idea of putting non-capatible brain matter in .... ? Hence my statement. The cultured stuff works better. |
