As such, it requires downtime to heal. Adding a new piece of software requires one week of downtime. Upgrading an existing piece of cyberware is much easier. While it still requires a trained technician with specialized equipment, it does not cause an injury and therefore does not require any time to heal. | ||

Their costs are marked with a (M) indicating this easier recovery. | ||

Latest revision as of 13:09, 11 November 2024
The installation of a new piece of ware, whether cyber or bio, is a major surgery. As such, it requires downtime to heal. Adding a new piece of software requires one week of downtime. Upgrading an existing piece of cyberware is much easier. While it still requires a trained technician with specialized equipment, it does not cause an injury and therefore does not require any time to heal.
A few pieces of relatively unobtrusive cyberware are sufficiently common that their installation has been perfected, such that they require only a day to sufficiently heal. Their costs are marked with a (M) indicating this easier recovery.
Augmented Senses
Biosenses
Bioware is still a young industry, so the available sense replacement options are more limited. However, they can be cheaper, aren't picked up on security scans, and generally act more like natural human tissue (e.g., they heal if damaged).
Type | Cost | Availability | Description | Game Benefit | |
Bioears | 30,000¥ | Restricted | Excellent hearing that captures quiet sounds and extends above and below the normal human range. | Gain a Bonus when rolling 5+ on hearing-based checks. | |
Bioeyes | 30,000¥ | Restricted | Improved vision catches fine details, quick motion, and other sights others can't see. | Gain a Bonus when rolling 5+ on vision-based checks. | |
Bionose | 20,000¥ | Restricted | An improved sense of smell. | Gain a Bonus when rolling 5+ on smell-based checks. | |
