Most of the races in the Three Galaxies are able to live for a really long time (Wulfen at 150+ years, Humans at 200 years, Noro at 250+ years, etc). But this is most likely due to the presence of ultra-tech medical facilities and super drugs.
So my question: what happens if one a member from on of the aforementioned races were to get an Absurr Life Node, which triples their life span? Would a human life to 600 years, or only to 360 (scientists today figure that the human body can realistically only live for about 120 years at best).
And is it unreasonable to think that the Transmutation Chamber can be used for things like facelifts, tummy tucks, and cellulite reduction?

If that doesn't prompt you to buy it, I don't know what else I can say.
For my part I would say it is a XOR relationship.
Since the Absurr changes the hosts metabolism,
so the ultra-tech cures do not really work (or
at least need a lot of experimenting).
-----------------------------------
As for facelifts - sure, why not. Even complete rejuvenation
is possible IMO... And a great story factor.
You know, having a dirty rich CCW citizen, clinging
to life at his (or her) age of 180 and the sploogies
"offering" a cure for her... Of course not for free.
Oh, and not for credits, either.

But still, one of the most basic rules for survival on any planet is never to upset someone wearing black leather - This is why protesters against the wearing of animal skins by humans unaccountably fail to throw their paint over Hell's Angels.

I know how that goes. I've done that to my players before. Making sure it's not just money they have to pay for stuff with.

THat's a whole black market trade and adventure campaign in itself...dealing in longevity and 'true' immortality....with lots of false cures along the way(not that some people will realize it until their supposedly re-invigorated flesh begins rotting off...).

Spoogies can change or become extinct in the 3G. I would love to get a spa that take off oh about 50 lbs in a few short hours. And I would pay handsomly for it. Alteese eat your heart out.

A lot of those who could afford it on their own, would still steal it.

Stealing from a sploogie means bad juju.

Yeah, but I bet Thraxes would use proxies to get anything he wanted. Even if it was from Sploogies. You know he wouldn't care about those people he sent to their deaths.

That is the way I've always imagined him run like. And I've run him like that too.

Just a side note thought, that bio-wizardry chambers IMO
do not worth much without a competent bio-wizard.

But if someone like Thraxes need something, he can ususally afford it.

Of course. But since Thraxus is a (demi)godling,
he does not have to worry about aging, and such.
On the other hand, he probably have several
"I owe you one'-s in his pocket, most likely
even via proxy (Joe owes me one, Jack owes
one to Joe and well... Joe once did a favor
to a high lord).

When you have the power he does, it makes total sense that he'd have collected a lot of favors people owe him.

When he interacts with the players there is not a thing they can do to prove he waas in any way responsible for anything that handicapped them in an adventure.

I've never run him as a bragart. I always run him making sure that people in his presence can see his wealth displayed. He is smug, but unless someone presses him, he doesn't brag. (At least that is how I run him.)

It would, but lookk at his intelligence. He's a very smart individual. And he already knows people envy him. He is smug when PC's happen to meet him.
