Bioware is anything which is primarily low impact
technology that is designed along biological rather than
me chanical lines.
Most bioware enhancements involve the use of nonotechnology
tiny machines the size of microbes, which can perform
surgical tasks on the cellular level. These
"nanoids" are injected into the area to be
affected, along with a supply of the raw materials needed
to perform their jobs (for example, long string polymers
which can be woven by the nanoids into a type of
Subdermal armor called skinweave). Powered by body heat
and nutnent chemicals, these tiny machines quietly go
about their business, strengthening muscles and altering
body chemistry.
Grafted Muscle: This is vat-grown
muscle grafted onto your own, with healing. With this
modification, you may increase your Body Type stat up to
2 points, paying 1000 eb per point. It can be combined
with Muscle/Bone Lace.
Muscle & Bone Lace: Also known as
viral transformation, this enhancement involves
two types of nanoids. The first type threads synthetic
muscle through the natural muscle fibers anchoring and
strengthening them. The second type wraps the bones in a
tight weave of metal and plastic threads, making them
stronger and thicker. The result is an increase of +2 to
the character's Body Type stat. This increase is both in
strength and the ability to absorb physical damage. This
enhancement is virtually indetectable and takes about two
weeks (Body Type increases by 1 each week).
Skin Weave: This enhancement uses
nanoids to weave the top three layers of skin with a
dense polymer thread. The result is a bare skin SP of 12
equivalent to light body armor. The process is relatively
discreet (a DIFFICULT Awareness check to notice) and
takes about two weeks (SP increases by 6 each week).
Enhanced Antibodies: These are
tailored antibodies capable of attacking the most
powerful viruses in game play they double the rate of
healing.
Toxin Binders: These are nanoids
designed to bond with body toxins and poisons. This
enhancement adds +4 to all poison saves.
Nanosurgeons: These are microscopic
machines adapted to surgical repair. Some seal off
damaged blood vessels, while others repair damaged tissue
cartilage and bone with polymer microstiches. This
enhancement doubles normal healing time.
