Attunement
Altering the body's functions and form in significant ways can
be physically stressful and a human body can only be
changed so dramatically before it can no longer sustain itself.
Humans have 6 attunement slots and mutants 4 due to their
inherently unstable physiology. Once these slots have been
filled, no other augmetics can be installed. If this limit is
broken, the body can no longer naturally sustain itself and
requires outside means to do so. The creature's Charisma
score is reduced to 1 as the psyche begins to detach itself
from its humanity, and it gains the following as a flaw: "I can
no longer relate to living creatures." Most citizens of Neo-
Tokyo have every reason to mistrust the tech zombies that
result from over augmentation due to a multitude of heinous
acts commited by TZs over the years. If a creature knows the
creature they are interacting with is a tech zombie, their
starting attitude is one lower, from friendly to indifferent or
indifferent to hostile. This suspicion also extends to those
who work with the zombie, who must themselves have
ulterior motives for choosing to do so.
An attunement slot can never contain more than 4
augmetics, and no effect can ever lower the attunement cost
of an augmetic below .25.

Data Port
Attunement TBD
Dataports are direct digital links to the user's brain.
Certain technologies require data port access to interface
with the user, and port-to-port connections can be made
between creatures to transfer data and communicate safe
from snooping ears and programs.
Genetech
Genetech is a relatively new innovation that allows for the on-
the-fly manipulation of the genetic structure of a living
creature. A unique synthetic enzyme used in genetech
procedures causes the altered genetics to rapidly manifest,
making wild bodily changes possible without the need for
implants and replacement parts. This new tech, while
exciting, isn't without its flaws. Genetech requires specialized
tools and knowledge to synthesize the proper target enzymes
and accelerants, and without both the tools and knowledge,
proper application can be practically impossible. If you want
genetech and you want it done right, you have to go through a
boutique medicorp, and it's gonna cost you.

 Coloration
Attunement .25
One of the easiest gene spliced effects to achieve, altering
the coloration of a creature's skin is practically painless and
merely superficial save for possibly resisting sunburns. This
same procedure can also lead to the development of a thick
coat of fur in various patterns and courseness depending on
the base DNA used. This fur, while potentially warm and
protective, also manifests much more harshly than simple
coloration treatments.

This treatment simply changes the color of one's skin, or
potentially makes it patterned. Creature's with this augmetic
have a +1 bonus to rolls made to resist exhaustion caused by
