got a couple of questions for this trait but first let me post what the rulebook says
Genetic Heritage Cost: 10 BP Though genetweaking isn’t yet widespread, the technology to successfully modify a metahuman genome has been around for well over three decades. It is thus possible that children have inherited genetically-modified genes from one or both progenitors. Such an inheritance means the character can start play with one genetic modification (see p. 72) for free. Such characters also possess an unusually high tolerance to the introduction of foreign code into their genome. As a result, the nuyen costs of transgenic genetic enhancements for the character are reduced by 20 percent. 1. Does the free genetic modification still cost essence? 2. It does not say anything implicitly, but can you get this trait multiple times? |

thanks for the reply
as a followup to question 2. is the 20% price reduction cumulative for multiple purchases of this trait? |

I would have to say no on that one. It's just a representation of a general ease when tampering in the tubes. The only reason to take it more than once would be (IMHO) to get TWO very expensive and >12 Availability modifications at character generation. |
