Balance Wires

Stance

Cybernetic enhancements for the inner ear and enhanced neural receptors for spatial awareness give you the ability to roll with the hardest of punches and dance on razor wires. You get a +2 bonus to Dodge and Maneuver until you fail a roll or an opponent succeeds on an opposed roll involving either of these skills. These skill bonuses do not stack with other skill bonuses.

Cyborg Metabolism

Inherent

This replaces your vital organs, lungs and intestines with cybernetic equivalents. You also add shielding to your eyes and other sensitive surfaces. It makes you immune to inhaled or ingested poisons, and allows you to operate without food, water, air, and in hostile environments such as underwater or in a vacuum. You can eat and drink anything with no adverse effect on your metabolism.

Exo Link

Inherent

Used to operate cybernetic exoskeletons or power armors. You can always ignore any first-time skill use penalties when using an exo link. If you have an appropriately cybered power armor, you can ignore the Reflex penalties of the armor.

Machine Mind Immunity

Inherent

You are immune to stunts and powers targeting your Charm or Impress. You are also unable to use these skills. You are vulnerable to Spurious Logic.

Mind Backup

Basic Action

You back up your mental state into protected hardware memory, and in an emergency you can run on this backup and reboot your wetware memory, ignoring some mental damage.

Add your Body to your Mind attribute when soaking psychic damage for the rest of the scene. You are normally assumed to do this at the beginning of each scene, but sometimes you may want to not do it to be more inconspicuous.

Subdermal Armor

Inherent

Subdermal armor is a cybernetic system that provides protection, but certain armors are also cumbersome.

Basic subdermal armor gives two points of protection.

You can add additional protection by accepting drawbacks when installing subdermal armor. Each drawback increases armor protection by two. The maximum armor rating is eight. Typical drawbacks include the following; each can be taken several times.

• You invest an additional schtick in this power.
• Armor does not protect against one of the following types of damage: Disruption, Energy, Impact, or Physical.
• Armor is obvious and visible.
• Armor gives a -1 Reflex penalty.
• Armor is ablative. Each time you take a Hit from an attack the armor protects against, the protective value of the armor is reduced by two. The armor repairs itself between fights. Unnamed characters cannot take this.
• Armor is reactive. Each time you take any damage from an attack the armor protects against, even if the attack does not penetrate, the protective value of the armor is reduced by one. The armor repairs itself between fights. Unnamed characters cannot take this.
