Commands to use this system are still being developed and will be detailed when ready.
At STEM levels 3,8,13,18,23,28,33 and 38, you will receive 1 Augmentation Point to spend.
There are four augmentation categories: Survival, Psionics, Mutation and Cybernetics
At level 3 you pick your ‘main’ augmentation category. At level 28 you can supplement this with either a second category, or continue with your primary category. The higher level augmentations may have a large number of precursors, so the only way you can get the final augmentations is by forgoing the opportunity to branch out.
Currently, to access the augmentation system for use and testing (we don’t guarantee that it works entirely, and if it breaks, we’re sorry):

Mutation
Your immune system, weakened by residual fallout in the desert, has been unable to stave off advances of the REV (rapid evolution virus). Your biological structure has changed in sometimes not-so-subtle ways.

Replacing biological weakness with mechanical advantage, you strive to become more of a machine.

- Cortex Bomb: You are carrying an internal explosive which detonates when your life signals stop.
- Metal Skeleton (Cyb4): Your skeletal structure is replaced with a hybrid weave. It is now almost indestructible, halving your chance to take critical hits.

Not all heroes in the Wasteland change in dramatic ways. Some just get by on pure luck and honed skills.

- Weapons Expert (Sur3): Reduction in weapon jam (50% chance that weapon does not jam)
- Pistoleer (Sur5): Time spent with your handgun at close hand has made you somewhat of a master at the fine art of gunfighting. You’re a regular old gunslinger, like something out a pulp-story about the Old West.
- Toughness: Your health pool is three ranks higher.
- Alpha Male (Sur4): Bonus to leadership
- Plains Running: Utilizing breathing control, you can run forever without becoming winded. Movement outside of the worldmap, no longer costs you a physical action point.
