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 extends above and below the normal human range. Gain Trick "Enhanced Hearing":
Bioeyes 20,000¥ Restricted 20/10 vision that works well – and reflects back light – in low light, similar to a cat or elf's eyes. These come in a variety of cosmetic options. Ignore Disadvantage for low-light, but not pitch-black, conditions.

Cybereyes

Type Cost Availability Description Game Benefit
Replacement Cybereye 10,000¥ per eye Always 20/10 vision and that's it. A good quality electronic replacement for a damaged or impaired eye. -
