Phenotype Alteration covers several different genetic treatments, including fingerprint removal, ethnicity changes, and metatype alteration, of which, both fingerprint removal and ethnicity changes alteration are then given specific stats. There doesn't appear to be a cost - in nuyen or essence - for the metaposeur genetic modification. |

There doesn't appear to be a cost - in nuyen or essence - for the metaposeur genetic modification. Stop - Metaposeur is somebody who has had cosmetic surgery to appear more like their chosen metatype. Magically speaking, for example, you're still your base race. It's minor enough that there is no cost or nuyen cost associate and it buys you back 5 BP. Phenotype Alteration is actually BECOMING that type. From then on, you are affected AS a member of that type. Which one were you actually asking about? |

I'm referring to the gene treatment metaposeur
au p 90 QUOTE Metaposeur:This treatment genetically changes you to physically resemble a particular metatype (or metavariant), without actually granting any of their native advantages or disadvantages. For example, this enables a human elf poseur who really wants to look like an elf to do so, though he gains no low-light vision or longevity. There are no stats for it.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/question.gif) Because it is just a cosmetic operation. Like Kerenshara said, it is just a negative quality. And as your quote already shows, changes you to physically resemble a particular metatype (or metavariant), without actually granting any of their native advantages or disadvantages. |

I don't think it has any essence cost. I would just treat it as an exotic cosmetic surgery.

No Virginia, you can't change your metatype with Phenotype Alteration.

Some printings of Augmentation have the stat line for Metaposeur (in the back table on geneware) and some do not. Look in a second printing of Augmentation for your answer, but unfortunately I don't have that version.

To be fair, both of the poser qualities already address the issue of the poser getting surgery and/or biomods right in the description of the quality - so this treatment doesn't really change that much. Absent a copy of Augmentation with a specific entry for it, I would be inclined to give it the same stats as ethnicity alteration. |
