	: '''Regenerator''' (4 XP): A character with this body modification heals faster than normal, reducing healing times by 1 category. Baselines with this body modification may heal crippling injuries (such as those from aggravated damage) without the need for prosthetic replacement or cloned body parts.		: '''Regenerator''' (4 XP): A character with this body modification heals faster than normal, reducing healing times by 1 category.

	: '''Foot Anchors''' (4 XP): The character has powerful spring-loaded barbed spurs in his feet which are primarily used to anchor the character to any surface with a soak rating less than (Strength + 5). When anchored, any attempts to move or knock back the character are at +1 difficulty with one foot anchored, or +2 difficulty with both feet anchored. In addition, these anchors can be initiated immediately after connecting with a physical attack, adding an additional +1 difficulty to a kick attack but adding AP:2 and a damage add of [1] to the kick itself. If a foot anchor is used as a weapon, damage is ''lethal''.		: '''Foot Anchors''' (4 XP): The character has powerful spring-loaded barbed spurs in his feet which are primarily used to anchor the character to any surface with a soak rating less than (Strength + 5).

	: '''Improved Lifting Strength''' (2 XP): The character's musculature and skeleton are configured to bear greater stresses, increasing their ability to lift objects~~. This enhancement increases the character's lifting capacity by +10kg per dot of Strength or Might~~ (~~for a total of 40 kg per dot~~)~~. Repurchasing this Enhancement increases lifting capacity by a further +10kg per dot of Strength or Might (for a total of 50 kg per dot).~~		: '''Improved Lifting/Crushing Strength''' (8 XP): The character's musculature and skeleton are configured to bear greater stresses and augmented with slow but powerful actuators, increasing their ability to lift objects and crush them (due to better grip strength), but with no benefits to mobility or striking attacks. This Enhancement adds 1 automatic success to rolls made to control a grapple, adds +1 to the damage adds of any Crush attacks or Grappling Smackdowns, and increases a character's lifting capacity by 100kg per purchase. This Enhancement may be purchased once for every 2 full dots of Strength.

	~~: '''Improved Grip Strength''' (6 XP): Someone with this bodymod has incredible strength that they cannot actually use outside of controlled circumstances. Having a cybernetic arm~~ with ~~carbon nanotube musculature might be an example of this-the arm might be a hundred times stronger than a human arm, yet if the user attempted~~ to ~~exploit that strength to lift something, it'd just rip right out of the socket~~. ~~Improved grip strength~~ adds +1 automatic success to ~~Might~~ rolls to control a grapple, +[1] damage to any ~~crush attack~~, and ~~may be stacked up to (~~character's Strength~~) times~~.

	: '''Physical Overclocking''' (6 XP): The character's physical abilities are overcharged, pushing her close to the redline at any given time. The character gains +2 to Strength and Dexterity but any attack which successfully penetrates the character's soak deals an additional level of damage, as her body is close to breakdown and any damage could send it over the edge. This may be bought twice, giving a character an enormous +4 to Strength and Dexterity but causing any attack to deal an additional two levels of damage if it pierces soak.		: '''Physical Overclocking''' (6 XP): The character's physical abilities are overcharged, pushing her close to the redline at any given time.

	: '''Ultralight Body''' (6 XP): A character with an ultralight body has high-efficiency muscle tissue and porous bones that halves his weight, which reduces his natural soak by 2B/1L (min 1B/0L) but halves all falling damage, adds +2 to dexterity for movement purposes, and doubles jump distances. If bought twice, the character masses 1/4th as much, using tissues comparable to carbon nanotube or aircraft composites in strength/weight ratio. This eliminates the soak penalty, adds +4 to dexterity for movement purposes, quarters falling damage, and quadruples jump distances.		: '''Ultralight Body''' (6 XP): A character with an ultralight body has high-efficiency muscle tissue and porous bones that halves his weight, which reduces his natural soak by 2B/1L (min 1B/0L) but halves all falling damage, adds +2 to dexterity for movement purposes, and doubles jump distances.

	: '''Superhuman (Attribute)''' (3 XP): A character with this body modification has genetic or other enhancement that allows them to function at a weakly superhuman level of ability in a certain attribute. A character with this body modification increases the minimum value of the enhanced attribute by 3, and the maximum value is increased by 1 (so the character must have a minimum of 4 in the attribute, but gains a maximum of 6). If bought ingame (as a nova, for example), the character must have sufficient XP to increase the attribute to at least 4 before buying this body modification.		: '''Superhuman (Attribute)''' (3 XP): A character with this body modification has genetic or other enhancement that allows them to function at a weakly superhuman level of ability in a certain attribute.

	: '''Physical Structure Enhancement''' (4/8 XP): The character gains +1 to a physical attribute. In Novas, PSEs manifest themselves in a variety of ways, from the scientifically plausible to the totally supernatural. PSEs cost 4 XP if raising Strength or ~~Stamina, and~~ 8 XP if raising Dexterity. A character may not have more than +5 in a single attribute from Physical Structure Enhancement.		: '''Physical Structure Enhancement''' (4/8 XP): The character gains +1 to a physical attribute.

A character may not have more than +5 in a single attribute from Physical Structure Enhancement.

	: '''Long-Lived''' (2/3/4 XP): The character has a significantly longer lifespan. At 2 XP, the character's lifespan is doubled (to ~160-200 years with 21st century medical care), increasing the time in his or her prime by ~70-90 years. At 3 XP, the character's lifespan is quadrupled (to ~320-400 years with 21st century medical care), and most of this increase is again, in the prime of his life. At 4 XP, the character is biologically immortal and will stay in their prime forever, aging ceasing as soon as they hit biological maturity at around 20-25. This body modification also provides the benefit of improved disease and cancer resistance, adding +1 to Stamina to reduce the effects of diseases or toxins.		: '''Long-Lived''' (2/3/4 XP): The character has a significantly longer lifespan.

	: '''Quills/Spines''' (5 XP): A Nova with this has a coating of spines on his body, is naturally edged, or otherwise can easily cause harm to someone he or she touches. The Nova's unarmed attacks now deal lethal damage, and anyone who touches the Nova more than casually takes (Stamina)L damage (up to 5L). Repurchasing this enhancement once either makes the damage voluntary or increases the damage cap to 10L. Repurchasing this enhancement twice adds both benefits.		: '''Quills/Spines''' (5 XP): A Nova with this has a coating of spines on his body, is naturally edged, or otherwise can easily cause harm to someone he or she touches.

	: '''Caustic Blood''' (4/6 XP): The character has blood that is hostile to people around him and the environment as well. His blood may be acidic, full of flesh-eating enzymes he alone is immune to, or smart nanotech that spontaneously combusts when it touches an enemy. Whatever it is, if he takes lethal damage, his blood sprays (levels of damage taken) meters, dealing a base of 8L damage with AP (2) to everyone inside the radius. At the ST's discretion, certain types of lethal damage such as lasers or fire may prevent this from happening. Toxic blood costs 4 XP if indiscriminate, 6 XP if it only damages things the Nova wants damaged (the aformentioned combusting smart nanos). It may be stacked up to (Stamina/2, round up) times, each additional purchase adding +1 to AP and +4L damage.		: '''Caustic Blood''' (4/6 XP): The character has blood that is hostile to people around him and the environment as well.

	: '''Toxin Generation''' (6 XP + 2 XP/additional): The character possesses the ability to generate and store a deadly biotoxin. The character is immune to his own biotoxin, and generates (Stamina) doses per day, storing up to (Stamina * 2) doses. Upon purchase, a single biotoxin and method of delivery are chosen. After purchase, the character may choose additional toxins or delivery methods for 2 XP each. Delivery methods are listed below.		: '''Toxin Generation''' (6 XP + 2 XP/additional): The character possesses the ability to generate and store a deadly biotoxin.
