 ====== Replacements ======
-Created Saturday 27 July 2013
+Replacement cyberlimbs are prosthetic or artificial units intended to replace lost limbs and damaged organs. Common replacements provide no benefits other than duplicating the essential functions of their biological counterparts, and they present little strain on the beneficiary's overall well being. In appearance, a cybernetic replacement can be recognizably artificial or virtually indistinguishable from the real thing.
+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.
-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.

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.
+**Benefit:**  What the cybernetic replacement 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) ===
+===== 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) ===
+**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)|Balance]], [[Climb (Skill)|Climb]] and [[Tumble (Skill)|Tumble]]), 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) ===
