Cerebral Booster Rating Bio Index Avail Cost SI Legality 1 0.40 6/14 d 50,000 2 Legal 2 0.80 6/14 d 110,000 2 Legal Desc Level 1 +1 Intelligence Level 2 +2 Intelligence and +1 task pool Damage Compensators Rating Bio Index Avail Cost SI Legality 1-2 0.20 per rating 6/6 d 25,000 2.5 6P-N 3-5 0.20 per rating 10/6 d 50,000 2.5 6P-N 6-9 0.20 per rating 12/6 d 100,000 2.5 6P-N Desc Subtract the rating of the compensators from the character's damage before applying any wound modifiers. The character is unaware of damage suffered, requiring a Perception (6) or Biotech (4) test to reveal the level of damage. Magic Bioware such as damage compensators works against the effects of Simulated-pain spells such as Agony and Mass Agony. The adept power of Pain Resistance is incompatible with damage compensators. Pain-resisting bioware is useless against the Nerve Strike adept power.

Sleep Regulator Bio Index Avail Cost SI Legality 0.30 4/4 d 20,000 1 Legal Desc Shadowrun Denver uses special rules for the game-effects of this bioware. See workingtime for details. Thematically, the effects are a reduction in sleep; the ability to stay up for 48 hours without ill effects and averaging out to only needing 3-4 hours of sleep a night indefinately.

Synaptic Accelerator Rating Bio Index Avail Cost SI Legality 1 0.40 6/12 d 75,000 2 5P-Q 2 1.00 6/12 d 200,000 2 5P-Q Desc Level 1 +1d6 to Initiative Level 2 +2d6 to Initiative Compatibility Compatible With: Boosted Reflexes (Denver uses a house rule for this combination), Reaction Enhancers, Vehicle Control Rig Not Compatible With: Wired Reflexes, Reflex Trigger, Move-By-Wire Magic If Reaction/Initiative-boosting bioware is used in conjunction with adept powers that boost Reaction and Initiative, only the highest bonus applies. Thermosense Organs Bio Index Avail Cost SI Legality 0.50 10/12 d 25,000 2 Legal Desc Allows the character to make a heat-sense-based Perception Test vs. any target within 10 meters. The TN is based on signature, and further modified by range, enviroment, and so forth. Magic Thermosense is not vision-based, so any illusion spells that target vision do not affect this sense. A character cloaked by Invisibility will be just as detectable as someone who is not. The critter power of concealment hinders thermosense. Trauma Damper Bio Index Avail Cost SI Legality 0.40 6/8 d 40,000 2 6P-N Desc Subtract one box from any Stun Damage. Shift one box from Physical Damage to Stun Damage. -2TN to any Open Test made to resist painful interrogation of the user. -2TN to any Pain tests. Does not function with an active Pain Editor. Does not function with Damage Compensators until damage exceeds compensators's ability to mask the damage. Magic Bioware such as trauma dampers works against the effects of Simulated-pain spells such as Agony and Mass Agony. A trauma damper will only affect any damage that the pain resistance power does not nullify. Pain-resisting bioware is useless against the Nerve Strike adept power.
