Any SR3 players out there know what the ruling is for the cost to buy (at char gen) or improve a skill that has a linked attribute augmented by cyberware?  Is it based on the base attribute score, or the augmented score?

[Noble Drake]

Working from memory (haven't cracked my SR3 books since about 6 months ago), you use the augmented score so long as that score applies to your whole body.

Searched thru the books n errata and havent found anything. I was leaning toward using the augmented, and your explaination sounds fair enough.

Just tryin to be a (mostly) fair GM.  In the past we just used the 2e karma rules.

The augmentation from cyberware is not added to your attribute for the purpose of skills, either at char-gen or with karma.  You do however get to add bioware augmentations for skill purposes.
