Might want to have DX depend on both the Morph and the Ego. Otherwise you get a silly situation that a mind engineered for dexterity . . . cannot be.

Good idea. I could give both a "shadow stat" which limits how much DX or IQ respectively the "joined up" character could have.

Eg.

a) This Frog Morph only allows for an IQ of 10. So the Morph limits the IQ to 10.

b) This Bioroid-Soldier-Morph has 19 DX, but since your mind has a DX limit of 12 you cannot reap the full combat potential.

EDIT: Or didn't I understand you? Would that be a possible solution to the problem you mentioned. I know I don't want to add a SOM stat or something similar. I thought it's already "SOM enough" since the mind can have all the skills... and the morph can't have any... if you know what I mean...

I meant modifiers, not limits.

E.g. a DX 13 mind occupying a DX -2 (modifier) body will end up being a DX 11 character for this period of time; a DX 13 mind occupying a DX +2 (modifier) body will be DX 15 for a while.
