REPLACEMENTS

The most basic replacement limbs and organs don’t bestow any special benefits, but they suffer the usual drawbacks (see Benefits and Drawbacks, above). Some replacements of higher PL are built to counter certain drawbacks, as noted. They don’t add measurably to the recipient’s weight.

Each replacement description includes the following information:

Benefit: What the cybernetic replacement allows its recipient to do.

Type: Replacements can be external or internal. External replacements are subject to sunder attacks; internal replacements are not.

Hardness/Hit Points: The hardness and hit points of the replacement. Internal replacements don’t have hardness.

Base Purchase DC: The purchase DC of the replacement (or the components to build it).

 

 

Artificial Eardrum (basic)

An artificial organ that replaces a defective or destroyed ear. Removes the deafened condition. Artificial eardrums can even be given to people who were deaf from birth.

Benefit: The artificial organ duplicates the function of its biological counterpart. It is not quite as effective as a biological ear though; characters with a basic artificial eardrum take a -2 penalty on all listen checks.

Type: Internal.

Hardness/Hit Points: –/2.

Base Purchase DC: 19.

 

Bionic Arm (basic)

A bionic arm fully replaces a lost or destroyed biological arm. The bionic arm may begin at the shoulder, elbow, or wrist.

Benefit: The artificial limb duplicates the function of its biological counterpart. It is not quite as effective as a biological arm though; characters with a basic bionic arm take a -2 penalty on all dexterity checks and atttack rolls requiring use of that bionic arm.

Type: External.

Hardness/Hit Points: 3/5.

Base Purchase DC: 17.

 

Bionic Leg (basic)

A bionic leg fully replaces a lost or destroyed biological leg. The bionic leg may begin at the thigh, knee, or ankle.

Type: External.

Hardness/Hit Points: 3/7.

Base Purchase DC: 17.

 

Digital Eye (basic)

An artificial organ that fully replaces a defective or destroyed eyeball. Removes the blinded condition. Artificial eardrums can even be given to people who were deaf from birth.
