Cybernetics Rules
Cybernetics must be installed through Surgery if purchased during the game. They can be used in addition to any items – ignoring any “only one of this type” item rules.
You have a limit to what can be installed based on standard biology. For example, you cannot have three eyes.
Cybernetics are all internal. If you want to graft a blaster to a replacement limb, the blaster section counts as Equipment still.
Costume Requirements
Cybernetics are optional to physrep, but it is encouraged. If you opt not to physrep them, you must let any surgeon investigating the area know about the cybernetic so they can roleplay accordingly.
Replacement Limbs
A limb that solely works as a limb, without any additional effects, is free and does not require a Tag or Lammie. Replacement limbs can be organically grown or mechanical. They act as regular flesh limbs for any rules effects.
