[HOE] A Body Control question...

[RICH CROTTY <iamrebis@excite.com>]

  So, I'm adding two virgin players to our group, one is playing a Junker
Cyborg, and another is playing a Banshee Syker.  
  The player making the Syker pulled some really average cards during
character creation, but not enough to not qualify (we go with the character
templates as a minimum draw).  So, he had to put quite a few d6's in
physical traits since he needed his two high dice in Knowledge and Vigor. 
He's decided that Body Control is one that he will absolutely need (for
those situations when he needs to shoot a rifle or get in a fistfight).
  I was re-reading Body Control, and I thought of a possible suckass problem
that I wanted to nip in the bud before he even tries it.
  The question I've got is: 

  If a Syker uses Body Control to bump up his Vigor, WOULD it add to his
Strain?

  In my own opinion, I wouldn't see why not, since it would go away quite
fleetingly, and if he uses it at the wrong time, would end up leaving
himself open to brainburn.  He wouldn't really get any benefit, actually,
just a temporary boost that would come back to bite him in the ass
afterwards.

  Any opinions?
