Cybernetics

"He's more machine now than man.  Twisted and Evil."  Obi-Wan Kenobi referring to Darth Vader, Dark Lord of the Sith.

Originally developed as an answer to severe injuries and medical conditions cybernetics are an everyday part of galactic society.  Nevertheless, cyborgs are frowned upon by most of the galactic community, especially those who choose to replace good limbs with artificial ones.   Pirates, Mercenaries and Bounty Hunters have become renown for enhancing their body with cybernetics from built in weapons to computer neural interfaces.

Cyborgs and the Dark Side

Each Cybernetic enhancement gives the subject +1 Cyber-Point.  Once a subject reaches 6 Cyber-Points they may no longer take the Force Sensitive Feat, or take any Class or Prestige Class that awards this Feat.  Characters who already have the Force Sensitive feat are not affected by this limitation.

Cybernetics and the Force

As well as the rules in the Hero's Guide, each Cyber-Point gives a -2 penalty on all Force Skill checks.  This penalty is not applied to Dark Side characters.
