CyberneticsCyberarm                CTL10Surgery: Serious                Purchase DC 18CFC: 2                XP Cost: 500        This is the standard replacement limb cyberarm which has the base score of your Strength and Dexterity, though at additional cost this can be increased.  For every +1 to the base Purchase DC you can increase either you Strength or Dexterity by one point, max being a +4 Strength and Dexterity enhancement bonus,  also each point increases the CFC by 0.5.  These bonuses only apply to that arm.  You can do similar upgrades to other limbs as well.  A cyberarm has 4 spaces available for various options.  For no additional CFC cost, however, you can increase your Strength or Dexterity by using up your option spaces.  1 Option Space equals 1 point of stat increase. Cyberarms have a base structural hit points of 20 (destroyed at –10) and a punch from a cyberarm does killing damage as its base instead of subdual damage.  For a cyberarm constructed in a CTL 12+ culture the cyberarm has 6 option spaces available to it.BiotechAdvanced Respiratory System    CTL11Surgery: Serious                    Purchase DC: 18CTC: 1.5                    XP Cost:  100A new pair of lungs are grown and enhanced with extra alveoli, replacing the old lungs. The user can hold his breath twice as long and can effectively function at higher altitudes.  The character receives a +2 enhancement bonus to his Constitution. This enhancement cannot be combined with other circulatory system enhancements.NanotechStrength Augmentation    CTL12                Surgery: LightPurchase DC: 22 per levelCTC: 1                XP Cost:  50 Per levelThis system rebuilds the host’s muscles, tendons, and ligaments, increasing overall strength and reinforcing the body to allow it to take advantage of the new strength. The result is an enhancement bonus to Strength equal to twice the implant’s level. The power points needed to power this system equals to the implant’s level.(max rating: 5)A special note that the nanotech uses a core system that is intergrated to the body's natural energy which powers the various systems.  If the core system doesn't have the power the various systems will begin to shut down.</blockquote>
