Notes

Benefit: Mechanical dialysis-filter kidney with a salt-and-water reclamation cell. +2 to Fortitude saves against poisons, heavy metals, and blood-borne toxins, and you can go two days without water before the first dehydration save where a baseline body would start failing after one. Minor to moderate benefit level.

Install Risk: Medicine DC 15 to implant the dialysis unit and splice the renal artery. Recipient makes a Fortitude save DC 12 or gains Botched Implant: fluid imbalance, swollen limbs and -1 to Fortitude vs toxins until a Medicine DC 13 saline flush.

Origin: Desert-world and deep-station medical suppliers, built for crews where clean water is the scarcest thing on the manifest.

Strain: The reclamation cell fouls. A weekly saline flush is required or the filter clogs and the bonus drops to +0, with painful cramping until serviced. The carrier urinates noticeably less, which medics recognize.
