Cybernetic augmentation is common practice in the New World, from minor neural chips that enhance a front-of-store employee's charisma, to vicious mounted wrist blades and subdermal armour linkages to better a mercenary's killing potential. DMs can choose to allow Player Characters to visit a Cyberdoc clinic to purchase Augments that further empower and customise their abilities in combat. Player characters are able to have as many cybernetic augments as equal to their Constitution modifier and their Intelligence/ Wisdom modifier, (whichever is higher). As these modifiers increase, the number of cybernetic augments they can handle increases alongside them.
NOTE: Player characters are unable to gain the benefit of 2 effects if they share a name, thus stacking one type of augment will not give a stacking buff. Additionally, stacking augments of different rarities will result in the higher rarity augment of the 2 overriding the lesser. Commercial Augments can affect stats up to a maximum score of 20. Mercenary Augments can affect stats up to a maximum score of 22. Executive Augments can affect stats up to a maximum of 24. Any stat increases past these thresholds are disregarded.
The prices of augments are guidelines for your campaign, depending on how generous you are with creds.
