Cybernetic Implants (3023 A.D. Solar System Supplement)

Cybernetic Implants

Cybernetic Implants are a technology used by humans to enhance their bodies and replace body parts. Its use was originally forbidden but during the 500 Year-Long War, cybernetic implants quickly rose in the ranks of the military in order to defeat the LAI. Now, the spread of cybernetic parts in the black market has reached the impoverished, as gaining them through proper channels is difficult by the common person, even if it is needed.

Cybernetic Implants Gameplay

Cybernetic Implants can be bought and used by any player character. Think of them as magic weapons, the more rare the cybernetic implant, the better it probably is. Like most magical items, they also require time to become attuned to it. They can be a tool that can only be used in peculiar situations, or something that helps in common scenarios. Regardless, they are expensive and hard to acquire and are just another tool in the arsenal of a player.

It is important to know that cybernetic implants can also be hacked in certain situations. The CEO of a company of cybernetic implants might be able to hack and control the cybernetic implants his company creates, or an accomplished and world-renowned hacker might be able to get into the software of a cybernetic implant with some time. It is up to the DM on how to use this quality, but it is important to not overuse it as cybernetic implants are oftentimes hard-earned and difficult to acquire.
