====== Body Plating (Cyberware) ======
===== Body Plating (PL 6) =====
Body or dermal plating is externally grafted armor plating that is comprised of polymers, laminate composites, and light-weight alloys. Though plating is not as subtle as subcutaneous body armor, it provides far more protection. Fashion-conscious cyborgs often purchase highly-stylized body plating, while military models are much more utilitarian.

**Benefit:** The character gains a natural bonus to Defense. This bonus depends on the density of the armor: Light +4, Medium +7, Heavy + 10. The recipient of dermal plating is unable to wear any other type of body armor.

**Type:** External

**Location:** One torso

**Hardness/Hit Points:** 5/varies. The armor has one-half the maximum hit points of the recipient

**Base Purchase DC:** Light (Purchase DC 18); Medium (Purchase DC 23); Heavy (Purchase DC 28)

**Restriction:** Mil (+3)
