Balance Wires

Trigger Action

Cybernetic enhancements for the inner ear and enhanced neural receptors for spatial awareness give you the ability to dance on razor wires. Free Running and Fly stunts are Routine for you.

Cyborg Assimilation

Limit Break

You assume the form of another creature decided when you gain the power. You must have created a variant form for yourself using your normal points and limits. If you do not have such a creature description ready, you cannot use this power. This creature cannot have higher value in any particular skill than you do. You can add powers of the same form the creature has and keep schticks and powers you already have, but you cannot otherwise add powers or schticks. This power cannot be used to imitate a specific individual; you remain yourself in mannerisms and detail while changing race, species, and creature type.

You remain in this form for a scene or until you fall asleep or unconscious or will yourself back to your normal form (a Basic Action). You can learn this power several times to learn to transform into several different creatures.

You can only assume the form on a Robot with this version of the power.

Hardwiring

Inherent

Hardwiring is a neural override that takes over your body and allows you to use your Maneuver skill as if it was Melee. At the end of a combat scene when you used this, this inflicts a Hit on you due to strain.

Physical Skill Processor

Stance

You have a computer connected to your brain that can run PSPs, programs that give you access to skills and abilities you normally lack. You run a PSP by activating this stance and selecting a certain stunt; you can now use this stunt using Maneuver. The PSP only applies to physical skills: Dodge, Melee, Recon, Ride, and Shoot. You can run several skillsofts at once by activating this power several times; each time costs a shot and allows you to select another specific stunt.

Prosthetic Limb

Basic Action

You have an artificial limb of great strength. This can be either an arm, two legs, or some smaller body part such as a hand, jaws, or similar. When you concentrate in the use of this limb, you are very strong, with a Body equal to your Maneuver skill. This is great for specific tasks such as breaking down doors, bending iron bars, hanging on to the outside of moving vehicles and so on. For a limb that can do damage on this scale, select Cybernetic Pile-driver.

-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 (Action)|Dodge]] and [[Maneuver (Action)|Maneuver]] for the rest of the round or 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.

-===Cybernetic Impant===
-Inherent
-Pick one stance of the [[Technology Origin (Action)|Technology Origin]]. That stance is installed in a surgically implanted device, and the power of the stance becomes inherent. Cybernetic implants can be subtle or discrete as a matter of style, but they can always be detected by sensors and with successful [[Spot (Action)|Spot]] checks against your skill.

 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 effect on your metabolism.

-=== Hardwiring ===
+=== Prosthetic Limb ===
 Basic Action
-Hardwiring is a neural override that takes over your body and performs either an unarmed attack or one that uses a built-in cyber weapon. This attack uses a skill rating of 15, or your [[Maneuver (Action)|Maneuver]] skill rating if that is higher, instead of whatever skill it would normally be used with.
+You have an artificial limb of great strength. This can be either an arm, two legs, or some smaller body part such as a hand, jaws, or similar. When you concentrate in the use of this limb, you are very strong, with a [[Body (Action)|Body]] equal to your [[Maneuver (Action)|Maneuver]] skill. This is great for specific tasks such as breaking down doors, bending iron bars, hanging on to the outside of moving vehicles and so on. For a limb that can do damage on this scale, select [[Technology_(Action_Powers_Form)#Cybernetic_Pile-driver|Cybernetic Pile-driver]].

This is great for specific tasks such as breaking down doors, bending iron bars, hanging on to the outside of moving vehicles and so on. You can also make a specific [[Melee (Action)|Melee]] attack that does damage equal to your  [[Maneuver (Action)|Maneuver]] skill. It doesn't work for whole-body maneuvers like general combat moves.
-===Subdermal Armor===
-Inherent
-Subdermal armor is a cybernetic system that provides protection, but certain armors are also cumbersome.
-The basic subdermal armor gives one point of protection but is not cumulative with armor worn
-You can add additional protection by accepting drawbacks when installing subdermal armor. Each drawback increases armor protection by one. The maximum armor rating is five. Typical drawbacks include the following; each can be taken several times.
-* Armor does not protect against one of the following types of damage: Disruption, Energy, Impact, or Physical.
-* Armor gives a -1 Reflex penalty.
-* Armor has a weak angle and does not protect against attacks from the rear (or one other angle, as appropriate).
-* 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. Does not apply to unnamed characters.
-* 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. Does not apply to unnamed characters.
-=== Subdermal Weapon ===
-Inherent
-You have a weapon of [[Concealability (Action)|Concealability Trenchcoat]] or less surgically implanted in your arm; you can hide or activate this weapon at any time.
