Biotech gill sheath and Kalo

[korinthmalar]

the way i read it is that the gill sheath for 95 level 1 lets my Kalo breathe in air. is that what you guys think?

"An external lining striated with oxygen-filtering nodules coats the outside of your lungs. If you breathe in water, it filters into the lining, where the nodules extract the oxygen and deposit it into your lungs. This lets you breathe underwater or in the air. You still exhale normally."

Kalo breath underwater normaly this sould let her breath in air as it sayes "or air"
what do you guys think?

Hmm, that seems a bit fishy.

Jokes aside, though, this augmentation goes in the "Lungs" slot and you could make a fairly solid case for Kalos not even having lungs. But I'm pretty sure that if certain races couldn't use some augmentations, the writers would definitely say so. So, I think it's fine.

Is that the intended use? Probably not.
Is it supported by the rules? Absolutely.
Does that seem fair and balanced to me? Yeah, actually.

Kalos are pretty good, but I don't think this makes them overpowered. I would probably flavor it differently, so that it's not a lung lining, but a gill lining, but don't let real-world biology stop you.

If nothing else, it's definately a solid basis for argueing that a modification that lets your kalo breathe in air shouldn't be any more rare or expensive than that.
