For the fear of these being lost to the sands of time, I'm reposting Jtraub's material up from the old boards with the format tidied up a bit.
CyberCraft 2.0 (nothing new yet, just moved it)
All material by J. Traub unless otherwise noted.
Sage advice by Morg. New Material in Sections in Flagged in RedRevised Material Flagged in Blue Check in and help me work on this Notes by Aziraphale are Flagged in GreenGeneral Rules: Cybernetics. This statistic has a base value of 1 and you may assign Wealth points to it as standard. Your Cybernetics are made up of a number of gear picks as shown on Table 4.2 Possessions (See the Spycraft 2.0 Rulebook, page 212). Like Possessions, all Cybernetics items are chosen before the start of each mission, and you lose access to any that are not chosen at this time. Further, Cybernetics items may only be adjusted between missions. Unlike Possessions, each gear pick must be a Gadget pick, Skill Training Resource pick, Feat Training Resource pick that uses the characters own body as its housing. Finally, unlike other wealth statistics, wealth gained from your charisma bonus may not be used to increase Cybernetics.
You may have a maximum number of Cybernetics safely installed equal to your size+constitution modifier + wisdom modifier. This is your
Cybernetics threshold.To have gadget Cybernetics installed you must have a Cybernetics wealth statistic with the following exceptions.
- First, any character may have common miniature item gadget, taken as picks or possessions, installed with their own body as housing. These items still count against your threshold.
- Second, a Cybernetic that exactly duplicates a normal limb or body part (a prosthetic) does not count against your Cybernetics threshold or require a Cybernetics statistic.
Unsafe installation over the threshold has the following results
- -1 Synergy Bonus for each unsafe installation (Max 5) to any Medicine check used on the character.
- +1 Synergy Bonus for each unsafe installation (Max 5) in Stress Damage against the character when a critical hit is scored by a special NPC.
- If your constitution is greater or equal to your wisdom and you have 3 or more unsafe installations you gain the feral quality.
- If your wisdom is greater your constitution and you have 3 or more unsafe installations you suffer a -3 Synergy bonus to Bluff, Bureaucracy, Impress, Manipulate, Networking and Streetwise Checks.
