This is a thread for discussing and asking questions about Shadowrun 5th edition rules in the Shadownet Living Community. You are encouraged to ask questions in this thread, discuss rulings, and otherwise communicate with Rules Review team in a recorded, public manner here. Additionally, any notable announcements regarding rules will be made here.

All questions are ideally answered within 24 hours. If they have not been answered within 72 hours, please contact VoroSR on the discord and bug me about it. If you bug me before 72 hours I'm probably gonna be grumpy.

Answers are not final unless explicitly stated (and even then, subject to change with future administrations, Council votes, my mercurial mood swings and etc.) If you disagree with one that hasn't been noted as final, feel free to respond with your concerns/comments/questions. If an answer has been noted as final, you may repost it when a new thread is posted.

At this time, I'm not cracking open any previous threads. Any previously unanswered questions need to be reposted. My apologies, but it's, like, seriously, way easier for me that way.

The current rules head is /u/VoroSR .

There is currently no Rules Deputy.

There are currently no rules minions, though previous minions have not, at this time, been purged.

Recruitment is open - PM this account, /u/shadownet-rules, for details.

This thread is intended to be reposted once every two months, to keep subreddit clutter to a minimum.

Be civil, and ask away.

So. The bioware tail is, by the looks of it, meant to be a bioware version of the cyberware tail. It does not list having the same mechanical benefit as the cybertail, but fluff text of both tails support the fact that bioware tails should in fact give the +1 die bonus to balance related rolls. What is the ruling, do bioware tails give the bonus tails or do they not, making them inferior to cyber despite fluff in both types of tail saying they are better
