-====== Replacements ======
-Created Saturday 27 July 2013
-The d20 Modern Roleplaying Game does not include rules for losing limbs or organs, so the likelihood of a character needing a replacement limb and organ in the course of a d20 Future campaign is slim. However, to tell a particular story, a GM and player may agree to give a character a prosthetic replacement of some kind, perhaps to remind the character of some defining—if traumatic—past experience.
-The most basic replacement limbs and organs don't bestow any special benefits, but they suffer the usual [[drawbacks]]. Some replacements of higher PL are built to counter certain drawbacks, as noted. They don't add measurably to the recipient's weight. Cybernetic replacements do not take up implant slots.
-If a player agrees to create a 1st-level hero with a prosthetic limb or artificial organ that provides no inherent benefits, the GM may (at his or her discretion) reward that character with an extra action point per level.
-Each replacement description includes the following information:
-**Benefit:**  What the cybernetic replace-ment allows its recipient to do.
-**Type: ** Replacements can be external or internal. External replacements are subject to sunder attacks; internal replacements are not.
-**Hardness/Hit Points:**  The hardness and hit points of the replacement. Internal replacements don't have hardness.
-**Base Purchase DC:**  The purchase DC of the replacement (or the components to build it), at its specified Progress Level.  Cybernetic attachments are cheaper to buy at higher Progress Levels; for each raised step in Progress Level, reduce the purchase DC by 2.
-**Restriction:**  The level of license required to purchase the replacement legally, and an appropriate black market purchase DC modifier.
-=== PEG LEG (PL 3) ===
-A peg leg is a simple crutch attached in place of a missing foot or calf. The prosthetic begins anyplace at or below the knee.
-Benefit: A peg leg partially replaces the function of its biological counterpart. It allows only limited speed, reducing the recipient's base land speed by 5 feet (as opposed to the more serious speed restriction imposed by having no leg). The recipient takes a -2 penalty on any skill check involving his legs (including [[Balance (Skill)]], [[Climb (Skill)]] and [[Tumble (Skill)]]), and can run at only his base speed x3.
-**Type:** External.
-**Hardness/Hit Points:** 3/10.
-**Base Purchase DC:** 11.
-**Restriction:** None.
-=== HOOK (PL 4) ===
-A hook is a simple melee weapon attached in place of a missing hand or forearm. The pros-thetic begins at the elbow or wrist.
-**Benefit:** A hook partially replaces the function of its biological counterpart.  It allows limited manipulation, and any action that r-quires two hands is done at a -4 penalty.  A hook can be treated as a simple weapon in an external weapon mount.
-**Type:** External.
-**Hardness/Hit Points:** 4/3.
-**Base Purchase DC:** 12.
-**Restriction:** None.
-=== ARTIFICIAL ORGAN (PL 5) ===
-An artificial organ fully replaces a defective or destroyed biological organ, such as a heart, lung, eye, or ear.
-**Benefit:** The artificial organ duplicates the function of its biological counterpart. It provides no special game benefits.
-**Type:** Internal.
-**Hardness/Hit Points:** -/2.
-**Base Purchase DC:** 19.
-**Restriction:** None.
-=== PROSTHETIC ARM (PL 5) ===
-A prosthetic arm fully replaces a lost or destroyed biological arm. The prosthetic arm may begin at the shoulder, elbow, or wrist.
-**Benefit:** The prosthetic arm duplicates the function of its biological counterpart.  It provides no special game benefits.
-**Type:** External.
-**Hardness/Hit Points:** 3/5.
-**Base Purchase DC:** 17.
-**Restriction:** None.
-=== PROSTHETIC LEG (PL 5) ===
-A prosthetic leg fully replaces a lost or de-stroyed biological leg. The prosthetic leg may begin at the thigh, knee, or ankle.
-Benefit: The prosthetic leg duplicates the function of its biological counterpart. It provides no special game benefits.
-**Type:** External.
-**Hardness/Hit Points:** 3/7.
-**Base Purchase DC:** 17.
-**Restriction:** None.
-=== ARTIFICIAL ORGAN UPGRADE (PL 6) ===
-This upgraded version of the PL 5 artificial organ not only replaces a defective or destroyed biological organ but is also more resilient than its technological predecessor.
-**Benefit:**  The artificial organ upgrade duplicates the function of its biological counterpart and cannot be disabled if the recipient takes [[Massive Damage Effects table|massive damage]].
-**Type: ** Internal.
-**Hardness/Hit Points:**  -/4.
-**Base Purchase DC:**  21.
-**Restriction:**  None.
-=== PROSTHETIC ARM UPGRADE (PL 6) ===
-This upgraded version of the PL 5 prosthetic arm not only replaces a lost or destroyed arm but is also more resilient than its technological predecessor.
-**Benefit:** The prosthetic arm upgrade duplicates the function of its biological counterpart but has a greater hardness and more hit points than the basic PL 5 prosthesis.
-**Type:** External.
-**Hardness/Hit Points:** 5/10.
-**Base Purchase DC:** 19.
-**Restriction:** None.
-=== PROSTHETIC LEG UPGRADE (PL 6) ===
-This upgraded version of the PL 5 prosthetic leg not only replaces a lost or destroyed leg but is also more resilient than its technological predecessor.
-Benefit: The prosthetic leg upgrade duplicates the function of its biological counterpart but has a greater hardness and more hit points than the basic PL 5 prosthesis.
-**Type:** External.
-**Hardness/Hit Points:** 5/15.
-**Base Purchase DC:** 19.
-**Restriction:** None.
-=== ADVANCED ARTIFICIAL ORGAN (PL 7) ===
-This advanced version of the PL 5 artificial organ and PL 6 upgrade not only replaces a defective or destroyed biological organ but is also more resilient and less impairing than its technological predecessors.
-**Benefit:** The advanced artificial organ duplicates the function of its biological counterpart and cannot be disabled if the recipient takes [[Massive Damage Effects table|massive damage]].  In addition, the advanced organ does not count toward [[Cybernetics|the total number of cybernetic attachments the recipient can have]] before taking negative levels.
-**Type:** Internal.
-**Hardness/Hit Points:** -/4.
-**Base Purchase DC:** 24.
-**Restriction:** None.
-=== ADVANCED PROSTHETIC ARM (PL 7) ===
-This upgraded version of the PL 5 prosthetic arm and PL 6 upgrade not only replaces a lost or destroyed arm but is also more resilient and less impairing than its technological predecessors.
-Benefit: The advanced prosthesis duplicates the function of its biological counterpart. In addition, this advanced prosthesis does not count toward [[Cybernetics|the total number of cybernetic attachments the recipient can have]] before taking negative levels.
-**Type:** External.
-**Hardness/Hit Points:** 5/10.
-**Base Purchase DC:** 22.
-**Restriction:** None.
-=== ADVANCED PROSTHETIC LEG (PL 7) ===
