	\| Concealability mods from clothes: Do they stack, eg mortimer stuff or cloak? \|\| Concealability from multiple pieces of armor does not stack with other pieces of armor. It will however stack with a concealed pocket or a concealed holster. Note the singular articles there. \|\| Yes		\| Concealability mods from clothes: Do they stack, eg mortimer stuff or cloak? \|\| Concealability from multiple pieces of armor does not stack with other pieces of armor.

			\| Page #52 of Run & Gun states the following regarding the Improved Range Finder (accessory):<br>Emphasis is mine.<br>Laser range finders are standard equipment on smartlinks, but if you have the scratch you can make its range calculation functions even better. It combines three technologies—microwave, laser, and radar—to give you an extremely accurate calculation of range. The effect of this is to reduce range modifiers by 1. This only can be used in weapons that have a smartlink; it can be positioned in any slot besides the one that has the smartlink. This bonus cannot be combined with any bonuses from image magnification on the weapon.<br> "on the weapon" very clearly states that Improved Range Finder would not stack with image magnification on the weapon, such as a scope.<br> My mechanics question, then, is:<br> Would Improved Range Finder stack with Image Magnification that is NOT on the weapon?<br> Example: You fire the weapon while wearing a pair of sunglasses with Image Magnification modded into them. \|\| The Improved Range Finder accessory does not stack with magnification of any kind, whether or not it is on the weapon. This is a tighter reading of the rules than is strictly reading, but matches with Mechanics Team's perceived reading of the intent. \|\| Yes

	\| If I tune a select sound filter to not a Barghests howl, do I still get affected by paralyzing howl? \|\| A select sound filter set up to filter out a Paralyzing Howl provides bonus dice equal to the rating of the select sound filter on your defense test against the power. It does not provide immunity. \|\| Yes		\| If I tune a select sound filter to not a Barghests howl, do I still get affected by paralyzing howl? \|\| A select sound filter set up to filter out a Paralyzing Howl provides bonus dice equal to the rating of the select sound filter on your defense test against the power.

	\| Does PT bioware affect regeneration? Specifically does PT ware count as deltaware for purposes of not getting rejected by regeneration, or does it get rejected like regular bioware? \|\| Prototype Transhuman Bioware is not special. It is still detected by Assensing, and it is still rejected by those things that push out other 'ware. If this affects an active character, please reach out to Council immediately. \|\| Yes		\| Does PT bioware affect regeneration?

	\| With regards to Prototype Transhuman Bioware; How is 'Ware that has ratings handled? Say I have R1 Muscle Augmentation as a part of my PT bioware. Can I get an R3 to complete it? Do I just have to buy an R4? \|\| While you can replace the 'ware provided by Prototype Transhuman, you cannot upgrade it, and the essence is not refunded. In your example, you would have to buy Rating 4 Muscle augmentation. Prototype transhuman does not alter how 'ware stacks. \|\| Yes		\| With regards to Prototype Transhuman Bioware; How is 'Ware that has ratings handled?

			\| Cyberlimbs when bought with a higher grade ware (alpha and so on) increases the cost of the things you put into it, but does it then also increase the cost of customizing the attributes of the cyberlimb (from the normal 5k) \|\| The cost of customizing the attributes of a cyberlimb is part of the cost of the cyberlimb itself, and is accordingly affected by the grade of the cyberlimb. \|\| Yes

	\| Another question about Possessing and cyberlimbs. It states in Possession that they cant work "ACTIVE" cyber things. So do we consider the moving of Cyber limbs a Active thing, or passive? \|\| Cyberlimbs are considered active for the purposes of Possession. \|\| Yes		\| Another question about Possessing and cyberlimbs.

			\| Can you use bound spirits to do channeling? \|\| One cannot channel a bound spirit. \|\| Yes

			\| Do you use the spirit own metal attributes in place of your own when channeling? \|\| When channeling, you use the spirit's mental attributes, except when defending against spells, in which case you use the lower of the two sets of attributes. Since this is a replacement effect, it is (unfortunately) not affected by augmented maximums. \|\| Yes
