*grin* Looks pretty good to me, Sirrocco.
Also, yes to one biomod...but there might be associated effects. My Golden Apples will pretty much always grant health - I was concentrating fairly intently on that when I was making the tree, given how sick I was, and a lot of the golden fruit in mythology is associated with that sort of effect - health, immortality, and so on. So, when you get your random biomod - monkey boy, catgirl, whatever....you're a healthy one. Of course, this might also incline the fruit to the more...extreme biomods, too. After all, if you're going through and doing a general overhaul anyway, you might as well do other stuff as well, right? Part of the price for getting good health - taking your chances at the more extreme mod. Of course, for some of us it's more than worth the risk. Give me one of those apples today, in real life, and guarantee it'd have the same effects...I'd take the biomod in a second and deal. I'm tired of being sick and feeling old in RL; gods know my character was, several years further along.
Quote:Yes, definitely a whole lot (says the man with a monkey tail who lost over a foot of height). You start out with a body, you end up with a body (or maybe two, considering the Evil Twin). If you have a lot of extra mass (as a lot of fen do), you have just that much more for the handwavium to play with. It might not use all of it, but it does give it more leeway in what it can do. There might be some fairly bizarre changes, to accomplish a particular mod - I'm currently brainstorming one such, and it's been driving me crazy. I THINK I've got a way to solve it that doesn't actually break any natural laws besides effects we've already seen, but I need to run it past someone to see what they think of it. You might see more on this later.
Actually, I *think* (check me if I'm wrong on this) that the first sentence off of 2a is pretty much a goner. The first biomods described included the Lounge Lizard and My Evil Twin. We have a lady who walks around in baggy clothes to hide her tentacles, and a guy who came down with a slow-mo version of Jusenkyo. Biomods change appearance a *whole* *lot*.
