Chrome Mantle

+4 augmentation capacity; ignore first 4 points of capacity strain per day.

The character has invested heavily in cybernetic augmentation and learned to balance the load. The character's augmentation capacity increases by +4 (additional implants may be installed beyond the normal limit). The character ignores the first 4 points of capacity strain accumulated in a 24-hour period (penalties from over-augmentation do not apply until strain exceeds 4). The character gains +1 to CHA-based checks vs. those who fear or respect visible chrome.

Notes

Special: The capacity increase stacks with Modular Chassis (synthetic) and any other capacity-boosting effects. Strain tolerance refreshes at midnight or after 8 hours of rest, whichever comes first. The CHA bonus applies only to first-impression social checks against those who have a strong reaction to visible augmentation (typically civilians and low-tech populations). Does not apply to faction contacts already accustomed to chrome.
