welcome to the board Maliganok

the MB doesn't actually stipulate an exact limit on the amount of enhancements can be incorporated into a HA; however, there are various references to weapon systems if chosen, no other weapon or sensor can be placed in the same place.

just approach it logically and let the GM decide in the end exactly how many enhancements they can have...

in saying that, bear in mind the layering of the enhancements. when i say layering, i mean. the HA could have: Acid Blood, Quick Cotting Blood, Righting Reflex, Enhanced Neurological Connection, Butchers Organ, Electrical/Lightning Discharge, Flame/Plasma Breath, Elongated Running Legs, Elongated arms etc. etc. before you even look at having any externally visible weapons, such as Bone Blades, BEEVs, Spore Discharger, etc.

available Bio-E limits this too, considering that if you wanted 15 (max) organic rockets, that's going to cost you 75! Bio-e

in general, living armours only get enhancements if specifically noted.

in general, i would look to the trend of what can be placed on OCC-specific living body armours to consider what would be placed on them. technically, there are very few limits, but that's what i would use.

which would place the limits as:

eyes and vision
other sensory features
offensive bio-weapons
ranged bio-weapons and upgrades
extra MDC (2d6 + 18 per 10 bio-e)
biological defences
flight appendages

however, it is worth noting that there are a few OCCs that get living body armours with no stated restrictions on what their enhancement bio-e goes towards.

any restrictions beyond that will be mentioned directly in the description of the enhancement in question.

Shark is dead on. In the main Splicers book, the limitations of Living Armor, both Bio E and what they can choose, are listed for each individual OCC. For example, a Biotic starts with 2D6+22 Bio-E for additional enhancements, limited to the categories of Eyes & Vision, Other Sensory Features, Offensive Bio-Weapons and Ranged Bio-Weapons, and/or Extra M.D.C.

An Archangel, for comparison, starts with 5DlO+45 Bio-E for additional enhancements, but is limited to the categories of Eyes & Vision, Other Sensory Features, Offensive Bio-Weapons, Ranged Bio-Weapons, Ranged Weapon Upgrades and/or Extra M.D.C.

well, this seems like it should have been the answer i gave =S

i interpreted the question as "what enhancements are physically capable of being added to living armour" =S
