Cybridisation [Major] by Iczer

'Oh yeah, the machine starts to come out now'

The character can slowly become more machine like, transforming old flesh and blood parts into new bio-mechanical ones. The change is voluntary, and gets better as the character advances in levels.

Stage one: At first level, the character develops a metalic sheen to his skin and hair when he adopts his bio-mechanical form. This form acts as a disguise only, and has no other benefits.

Stage Two: At first level, the character can transform into stage two. At Stage two, the character become less human looking (-2 PB) and grows metallic skin (+4 PE, +2PS +35 SDC, Natural AR of 12) the character's punches and kicks do 2d4 Damage (or +1d4). The strength becomes extraordinary and the character takes half damage from cold.

Stage Three: At second level, and at every level beyond that, the character can develop a new stage three adaptation from the following list:

  • +2 PS
  • PS becomes Superhuman
  • +2 PP
  • +10 Spd
  • +2 PE
  • +2 AR
  • +1d4x10+10 SDC
  • Specific energy resistance (half damage from one energy source)
  • +4 IQ
  • +4 MA

In addition, the stage three enjoys an additional 1d4x10+20 SDC. If the character desires, he may develop separate and distinct stage three forms. Each new form gains the +1d4x10+20 SDC, but only has access to one of the new adaptations. (Kyle, at 4th level took +2PS at levels 2,3 and 4 for one powerful stage three form. Lucas has three stage three forms, one with +2 PS, one with +10 Spd and one with fire resistance. each of the separate forms enjoys their own SDC bonus of +1d4x10+20)

Stage four: At 6th level, the character can enter stage 4. At stage 4 the character becomes wholly machine (though still bio-mechanical). He is immune to poisons, gasses and environmental hazards (except those tailored to superhumans or bio-mechanical creatures) and has +4 to save vs Psionics and Magic. His weight doubles, and his PS and PE increase by 4 each, while his SDC grows by 50. the stage 4 form is an outgrowing o one of the character's stage three forms. From level 7 onwards, the adaptations gained on a level by level basis may be applied to the stage 4 form.
