The chemical gland (bioware) doesn't make you immune to it, and the cybergland (cyberware) also not.

Yeah, brain still working. Surge rocks, cyberware boooooooooooh.^^

Well, there is immunization gene treatment in augmentation, even one that works against neurotoxins.
Machiavelli
Expensive?
Ascalaphus
It's not cheap or anything, but it's nice that it'd there.

At least with augmentation you can cheerfully pick the most powerful poison, because IC you just told the doctor to pick something really good. None of this "what are the chances of Surge poison being really strong" nitpicking nyahnyah.gif
NiL_FisK_Urd
Well, 20k - 30k is not that expensive for nearly complete immunity against "Narcoject" or "Neuro-Stun"

Even with the doctor choosing, you have to accept that bioware is capable of internally synthesizing a given toxin. Some yes, others no.

Augmentation (p. 68) does restrict it to things occurring in nature, but that leaves open a whole lot of heavy toxins.

TTX would be aviable, but it has no statted availability and cost -.-

Ascalaphus, I'm saying that, even within that limitation, my personal limits are even tighter. smile.gif It's all pretty arbitrary, and I'm aware that this is just my own position.

Yes, but then we're talking personal limits... somehow personal limits seem to be applied far more stringently to exotic attacks than to high-powered common attacks (like the Ares Alpha modded for no recoil, or Stunbolt).

Obviously this is up to personal preference, but I think exotic ("trademark") attacks should be encouraged in a cyberpunk game.
