Augmentations
Augmentations are pieces of equipment that permanently fill an inventory slot when they’re installed into your body. Some Augmentations have charge abilities that are activated by adding Fatigue to an empty inventory slot.
How To Get Augmentations
Gain a random Augmentation at character creation when you roll the minimum HP for your class. Otherwise gain them by paying top dollar at a high end licensed medical institute, doing a favor for the guy who runs a clinic behind Tony’s Space Bar, or saying yes to your Researcher buddy who asked if you’d be willing to help with a “little experiment” they’re working on.
Synths start with the special Access Jack augmentation, plus one more based on their starting HP.
Access Jack: Plug into and interface with any computer. Charge to remotely interface in line of sight. Special Augmentation which all Synths start with.
