| - | 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. | + | 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 most basic replacement limbs and organs don't bestow any special benefits, but they suffer the usual drawbacks.

| 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. | 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. | ||
