Still too much supernatural.

Brodkil can have cybernetics, they can't be THAT supernatural, IMHO.

I wouldn't allow it since the reason they can have cybernetics is they don't have bio-reg. They are still supernatural.

even a faction of Supernatural, something that can't be replicated with DNA alone--would be enough to disable the auto-G's abilities.

Well, the rules say no supernatural they are supernatural. If you don't like them feel free to change them for you campaign. And personlly I would allow it, but that is because i'm munckin and like to break the rules.

Star Elves have SN PS and are entirely unsupernatural by canon.
It states many of them become Cosmo Knights, it also states no supernatural being can become a Cosmo Knight.
They have SN PS but aren't supernatural.
Brokil may fit in the same category although I doubt it - there are plenty of times they have been referred to as "Sub Demons" that alone denotes being supernatural to me.

I vote no.

Just read what Gadrin and Giant2005 write below, couldn't have put it better myself.

Yes, all you need is the major ability of Supernatural PS from HU. :P

Correct me if I'm wrong but in NGR/Triax, the Brodkil are described as being of a Supernatural origin. I think that and maybe it being printed somewhere that they are demons might have some of you thinking that they are Supernatural.

I'd also like to point out that in Mindwerks, the Gene-Splicers have manipulated the DNA of the Brodkils to make Monster Brodkils. One of the genetic enhancements is Supernatural strength. So if a Gene-Splicer can fiddle with their DNA I'd say something like an Auto-G could at least duplicated DNA then.

Here is the best way to sum up the problem you're all having with this question.
