Custom rig
Tier: 1Activation: Passive
Ranked: No
Mechanic only, Talent Column
When first purchased, this character gains a Custom Rig, a toolbox personalised to each Mechanic. Many Mechanic-specific Talents require the use of your Custom Rig - if you are already using it for something, you may not utilise it without cancelling the current project.
Other characters using your Custom Rig must Upgrade the Difficulty of any checks a number of times equal to Talents purchased in the Mechanic Talent Column.
Custom Rigs can be complicated matters, so its features have been broken up into a few different sections for ease of reference.
As an item
- Encumbrance: 2
- Special: All Mechanics and Computers checks receive +b
- DAM: +1
- RNG: Short (this overrides any Tech Macros or Programs)
- SS: 8
- MT: 7
- Special: Two-handed, Prepare 1 results in +1 DAM
Your Custom Rig can be reconfigured to be deployable from a wide variety of methods. Only one can be chosen, otherwise another Custom Rig must be kitbashed.
- As an attachment: 1 HP
- As a cybernetic: another Tier 1 Talent, Type: Cybernetic +1
- -1 Encumbrance: $250 and 24 hours
May be spent twice.
If your Custom Rig is lost, destroyed or stolen you can kitbash one from any standard toolbox with 1 hour of work. If you create a new Custom Rig, the old one reverts to a normal toolbox (or whatever item it was previously) and so can no longer be utilised with your Mechanic-unique Talents.
If you have an Animal Companion with Type: Robotic, you may command them using your Custom Rig up to its current default Range.
