New page

Building a better Psion, one metal plate at a time. Although the experiences of the Aberrant War and the return of the Aberrants have left a sour taste in humankind's mouth in regards to transhumanism, cybernetic and biotechnological augmentation is still often the only viable method of creating a baseline human capable of competing with a combat-specced sub-Aberrant. Cybernetics, therefore, have become something of a crutch, a tool to allow humanity to compete with its posthuman spawn.

Cybernetics are purchased via the Enhancements background, as listed below.

==Enhancements==
'''New Background: Enhancement''': A Psion or neutral with this background has submitted their body to cybernetic or biotechnological reconstruction, augmenting their natural abilities with additional modification. Enhancement provides a character with 10/15/25/30/35 points of total enhancement to be distributed as a character sees fit. Novas ''may not'' support Enhancement-their bodies channel Quantum via their M-R node, but Nova powers are much less subtle and their side effects course throughout the body, the Nova's only protection being their complete immunity to their own superhuman ability. A Nova cannot channel Mega-Strength through a cyberarm, or Mega-Dexterity through a superconducting spinal cord, or Mega-Intelligence through an exocortex-not unless the Nova grows the enhancement himself, paying XP to do so as if it was a body modification. As body modifications, Enhancements cost (point rating x 2) XP and additionally require the background.

===Enhancements Above 5===
Enhancements above 5 are extremely rare (as well as often illegal) due to anti-transhuman stigma (justified by the panics of the Aberrant War) but found on some particularly dedicated or insane Legion commandos, Aberrant cultists, and Posthumanists/Exhmuanists. Enhancements above 5 give 45/50/55/65/70 points of total Enhancement.

==Attribute Enhancement==
A Psion may enhance any of their attributes up to (+3) above their baseline via cybernetics or up to (+2) above their baseline bioengineering. This may only take attributes up to a max of 9 (cybernetics) or 8 (biotech)-technology is simply not advanced enough to support anything further. Extremely powerful biokinetics or telepaths may be able to far exceed these limitations via their own powers. A few other enhancements are listed below, which enhance a few things like health levels and soak.

Bioenhancement may be formatted to the user, taking ''permanent'' Tolerance but negates these limitations if the character being enhanced is a Psion. Neutrals cannot format Bioware. Each dot of such formatted bioware is Tolerance 1.

Increasing Strength, Stamina, Appearance, or Perception by +1 costs 2 pts/level, while increasing any other attribute costs 3 pts/level per increase. Buying an additional -0 health level also costs 2 pts/level.

==Medical Enhancement==
:'''Enhanced Antibodies''': Healing time reduced by 1 level of severity. (1 pt)
:'''Toxin Binders''': +1 automatic success to resist poison. (1 pt)
:'''Nanosurgeons''': Healing time reduced by 2 levels of severity, does not stack with Enhanced Antibodies. (2 pts)
:'''Livesaver Skinweave''': User is automatically stabilized unless subjected to further rough treatment after incapacitation. (2 pts)
:'''Anti-Plague Nano''': +1 automatic success to resist disease. (1 pt)

==Body Reinforcement==
Note that Skinweave and Dermal Armor do not stack.
:'''Bone Reinforcement''': 1 x -0 Health Level, required to increase physical attributes above 6. (3 pts)
:'''Adrenal Booster''': +1 Strength and Dexterity for 5 rounds. (4 pts)
:'''Skinweave''': +1B/2L soak (2 pts)
:'''Subdermal Armor''': +2B/4L soak (4 pts)
:'''Decentralized Heart''': Grants 1 x -4 + 1 x Incapacitated Health Level. (3 pts)
:'''Counter-EK Mesh''': +2 difficulty on all EK rolls to affect user, +3 if formatted. Bioware (Tolerance 2) (4 pts)
:'''Noetic Shielding''': +1 (2 if formatted) difficulty on the use of all Quantum powers against the user, +2 (4 if formatted) difficulty to affect the user's cybernetics with Quantum powers. Bioware (Tolerance 3) (6 pts)

==Performance Boosters==
:'''Sport Heart''': +1 Strength, +1 Stamina, all attacks against the user that penetrate soak deal +2 damage. (2 pts)
:'''Overdrive Heart''': +2 Strength, +2 Stamina, all attacks against the user that penetrate soak deal +3 damage. (4 pts)
:'''Movement Augmentation''': +2 Dexterity for movement, +2 Strength for leaping. (4 pts)

==Environment Adaptation==
:'''Cyberliver''': +2 successes to all Resistance rolls against toxins.
:'''Gyrostabilizer''': +2 to Microgravity Ops

==Cybernetic Replacement==

:'''Beta Linear Frame''': Strength 10, Might 10 (12 pts)
:'''Omega Linear Frame''': Strength 12, Might 12 (18 pts)

:'''Speedware''': -1 Multiple Action Penalty, 1 additional action per round, +3 Initiative, can only be sustained for 5 combat rounds. (10 pts)
:'''Vehicle Link''': -1 difficulty and +1d to drive rolls (with compatible vehicle). (3 pts)
:'''Weapon Link''': -1 difficulty and +1d to attack rolls (with linked weapon). (3 pts)
:'''Machine Link''': -1 difficulty and +1d to actions (with linked machine). (3 pts)
:'''Neural Processor''': Implanted computer system (with all relevant benefits), , -1 difficulty to hacking, missile weapons use, mathematics, or any situation where a computer may be useful. (6 pts)
:'''Symbiotic Brain-Data Implant (SBDI)''': Stores ability knowledge (5/10 dots for the basic and advanced models) for use by the character. Requires an exocortex or wired reflexes (or both) to use said abilities. Maximum ability rating is 3, 4 for advanced model. (10 pts, 15 for advanced model)
:'''SBDI Expansion''': Stores an additional +15 ability dots for use with the SBDI. (5 pts)
:'''Exocortex''': Allows use of SBDI abilities along with Mental and Social Attributes. (4 pts)
:'''Wired Reflexes''': Allows use of SBDI abilities along with Physical Attributes. (6 pts)
