XYBER
Enablers and The Xyber Bonus
- Enhancements give you xyber bonus to rolls.
- The bonus ranges from +1 through +3, with increasing cost in both money and humanity.
- Some types of xyber do not give a bonus, but rather work as enablers for certain types of rolls. Fx. the IR option for xyberoptix may allow you to do Awareness rolls in situations where normal vision is inadequate.
- Some types of xyber will not necessarily give you a roll bonus, but rather its enahancement level is used to calculate
Enhancements, Replacements and What They Cost
- Replacement xyber includes everything that you put into your body in order to replace the loss of a natural function. It gives you no bonuses to rolls or xyber enablers, etc. They cost merely half of the base enhancement cost in money and half the HC.
- Enhancement xyber includes everything (mechanical, nano, bioware, etc) that gives you any form of roll bonuses and/or enablers.
- Enhancements that give a xyber bonus to a single, specialized type of roll, such as a specific skill, have a cost calculated by multiplying the base cost by 1, 3 or 10, for +1, +2 and +3, respectively.
- Enhancements that act as a stat booster, which is to say it gives you a roll bonus on all or most of the rolls involving the stat in question, cost 10, 30 and 100 times the base cost for xyber bonus.
- For enhancements that give you bonuses on more than one type of roll, but not for all rolls involving a specific stat, the cost is 1-3-10 as above, multiplied by the number of types of rolls enhanced.
Humanity Cost
- Each enhancement is listed with a HC of either 1, d3, d6 or d10.
- Roll a number of HC dice equal to the enhancement bonus of the unit. Fx., a +2 enhancement with a d6 listed HC costs 2d6 Humanity.
- For +0 replacements, roll one die and cut the result in half.
- Options fitted in a xyber unit have their own HC, independent of the unit they are fitted in.
Option Slots
- Some forms of xybernetic enhancements, such as xyberoptix, etc, may be fitted with option slots, in order to extend their capabilities.
- The maximum number of options for any xybernetic unit is 6.
- Enabler options use the enhancement bonus of its host xyber. Fx.
- All enhancements that can be fitted with options have a listed option slot cost. Add this to the cost of the enhancement itself.
The cost of the option slots follows the 1-3-10 rule for xyber costs, as follows:
- 2 slots: 1 x option slot cost
- 4 slots: 3 x option slot cost
- 6 slots: 10 x option slot cost
- Option slots have no extra humaity cost.
- Note that the cost for option slots does not include the actual options fitted, only the slots to put them in. Options cost extra.
- Replacement xyber can not be fitted with option slots. I.e., your xyber must have an enhancement bonus before you can put options in it.
The number of option slots is entirely independent from the enhancement bonus. A +1 enhanced xyber unit can have 6 option slots, while a +3 one may have none. Having an enhancement bonus does not automatically give you any option slots. Slots much be bought separately.
