Enhancements - GM Whistler - 02-03-2018
Enhancements are injections, implants, charms, spells, tattoos, and other items that increase a character's stats. These stat increases are permanent; enhancements cannot be removed or sold.
Stat-boosting enhancements stack. A character can have a maximum of 4 types of stat-boosting enhancements. Each of these types can be purchased a maximum of 4 times.
A character can possess no more than 2 x their level number of enhancements at a time, for a maximum of 16. So a level 1 character may own 2 enhancements. A level 5 character may own 10.
These rules only apply to Stat Boosting enhancements. Other enhancements will have their limits listed in their description.
