It essentially becomes a free trait to people on the classic servers where borging mostly never happens and powergamers tend to just suicide when they get borged either way.
It just become a defacto silicon ban with benefits if it was given a trait point when used adjacent.
Perhaps to counteract this, players with this trait cannot be borged AND use robot organs, where using robot organs in this trait automatically fails that organ. Plus, it gives more use to monkey bodies laying around medical.
Electronic incompatibility with all robo-organs would be a good downside, I think.
EDIT: I wanted to add that I also updated Law 3 with Urs's wording. I'm still running into encounters where people are operating on old law assumptions that they can't die, and encounters where I've seen some...pretty terrible borging calls being made by sec, even after people already are using IC and LOOC methods to try and explain that that's not what they want. When people have had to talk in Discord about why they were unhappy with it, usually the OOC conversation also makes them embarrassed or upset. (This is RP-specific. This is what I think this can help resolve).
I think the traitor borging thing needs finessing, for sure, but I'd like to see this option available for just normal run-of-the-mill borging circumstances because I know it can genuinely upset people. I don't know if there's a way to toggle this as an RP-only trait or something, but maybe that's the answer?
I also dunno how to work with this and the idea some people have that puritan isn't *quite* difficult enough to deal with.
