Cybergear

Deus Ex Machina
Early cyberware came into existence as early as 2010, over the course of 3 centuries it has grown to levels of unimaginable complexity. Nanomachines that make up half the bloo cells in your bo y, computers able to on a molecular level interact with your nervous system, custom machine parts that can heal themselves. !he sky is the limit on cybernetics, though much of it is illegal. "ou can even get cheap cyberware on the streets these ays, assuming you can trust a street clinic enough to install it an on#t min what happene to the previous onor. $yberware is throughout all levels of society, ranging from simple tools to elite fashion statements to powerful weapons to bo ily replacement parts. %n this setting, cyberware has a vance to the point that it is not so much an invasive piece of machinery as it is simply a part of the bo y. &s such, you can '()*+E your con score for purposes of cybernetic tolerance. +et me repeat, "ou have '()*+E your con in cyber tolerance. !reat a 10 con as a 20 con normally. -e have met the machines of tomorrow, an they are us.

Cyberware:
!his section will be split up into 3 basic categories, 1, .ea ware 2, *o yware 3, Externalware. .ea ware is generally any piece of cybernetics that irectly interfaces with the brain to achieve an effect. !he actual e/uipment oes not necessarily nee to be in the hea of the user, but the noticeable effects are cerebral. !his ten s to inclu e a multitu e of sensors, computer interfaces, neural enhancements, internal computers, etc. *o yware is generally any piece of cybernetics that is not something that must be actively turne on. *one +acing, 0uscle enhancement, artificial organs an limbs, things of this nature. Externalware is generally any piece of cybernetics that outwar ly an obviously marks the character as a cyborg or any piece of e/uipment that oes not irectly effect a bo ily function or imitate one. *alance !ails, built in armor, built in weapons, 1ump hy raulics, are all things that fall into the classification of externalware.

A note on Power:
0icrotechnology is an a vance fiel in the 2300#s. &ll cyberware is powere via internal generators that use chemical energy erive from calories ingeste normally. !hese nanoscopic plants are throughout the bloo stream, an can fee off even the regular built up fat levels in a person. !hey are esigne to specifically mimic the calorie usage in the bo y2 they won#t start in on fat eposits until the bo y oes for instance, unless they are part of a critical system 3say, an artificial heart4 an they are in anger of epowering. !he rule of thumb is basically this, !he percentage of the $yber tolerance score use up by a character is roughly how much extra calorie intake he nee s in a ay. 5o, someone who is 267 cybernetic will nee 1267 the stan ar human calorie intake, or 2600 calories instea of 2000.

Notes, Neural &ugmentation is the controlle release of millions of speciali8e nanobots into the brain of a sub1ect, along with the implantation of a parallel control system. !he nanobots will reinforce the neural connections in the brain, balance out brain chemicals, an forge new neural bon s. !he overall effect is an increase in the userAs intelligence. !he rawbacks are fairly high2 however, as a botche surgery will leave the user severely mentally han icappe , shoul the implantation result in a 20, the users intelligence imme iately rops to 3. &n or inary N& proce ure gives a user B1 to their intelligence score, a goo B2, an an &ma8ing B3.

Bioware *ules
*ioware works basically like mutations, except they o not have rawbacks. & piece of bioware re/uires space similarly to cyberware2 a bo y can only take so much mo ification. )nlike $yberware in this setting, however, you only receive your $on in J*ioware EointsK. *ioware is in some cases not compatible with cyberware. !his is han le with a sort of common sense rule2 you canAt have hyperenhance muscles an cybernetic muscles for instance, an an organ that is replace cybernetically cannot be enhance with bioware.

A "ote on Mutations
*asically, there will be a list of the beneficial mutations liste here, that will inclu e cost an re/uire IspaceA. !hese mutations can be bought with money, 1ust like a piece of e/uipment. (nly mutations liste here are available2 if its not liste here you canAt buy it.

$ost, 10000 Notes, & Narco ;lan is an implante glan that pro uces a simple painkiller. -henever you go over a certain pain threshol it starts working an irectly pumping small amounts of painkiller into your bloo stream. !his provi es you with a :1 step bonus to >esist Eain checks. Bio2psi "euron /herapy 5i8e, 2 $ost ,66000 Notes, *io:psi neuron therapy was originally suppose to be a metho by which you coul make a non:psionically active human a !alent. %t i not work at all, but it was not a total failure. !his treatment makes a person psionically aware, as per the Eerk. =ollows all rules of the Eerk. Adrenalmax 5i8e, 3 $ost, 10000 Notes, & renalmax is a treatment for the a renal glan s in a user so they pro uce stronger natural steroi s, an pro uce it more rea ily. -hen a user takes half of any of their amage tracts except fatigue you gain 1 point of strength an ignore further stun amage until you take 6 points over your IunconsciousA track2 these extra stun points o not transfer to woun s. Bonex /reatment 5i8e, 1 $ost, 2600 Notes, *onex !reatment strengthens the bones of the user significantly. %t toughens the bones an spee s up their natural healing process. !he total effect of this is that the bones heal 0)$. faster2 ivi e the time re/uire to heal broken bones in half. /ailored Pheromones 5i8e, 1 $ost, 16000 Notes, !ailore Eheromones consist of genetically enhance pheromone glan s, which release o orless chemicals which naturally effect others reactions. "ou get a :1 bonus to all %nteraction checks. Biosplicing 5i8e, .alf of the total maximum points the user has. $ost, 6000:300000 Notes, *iosplicing is the latest in cosmetic surgery. %tAs the result of extensive bioweapons evelopment by the now outlaw corporation *altic Eharmaceuticals. !he process was sol to various black market clinics an its sprea aroun . %tAs illegal in the )E' an itAs illegal to have the surgery in the ;$=, though they will not arrest someone who has ha it one. *asically, the user is suspen e within a flui tank for 2 weeks while programme chemicals an nanomachines are pumpe throughout their bo y. !his bo ily mo ification allows for animal traits to be place onto a human2 serpentine tongues, cat eyes, wolfen ears, whatever. )sually this is purely cosmetic, %t can apply various stat boosts to the user or a variety of other attacks like natural claw attacks, night vision, an all kin s of strange things. !his is generally up to the '0 an the player to work out, but shoul be kept reasonable an the abilities shoul not outstrip other bioware or cyberware unless the cost oes as well.
