Repurposed Metal

The metal used to transform a person into a cyborg is taken from constructs. This metal is then taken to people who specialize in constructs and machinations to repurpose the metal to be suitable for cyborgs.

Human Compatibility

The process of transforming a person into a cyborg has been shown to be limited to humans only. However, it is possible that with further research this science will be able to become compatible with other humanoid races.

Surgical Process

The most common way of transforming a person into a cyborg has been when the victim has been subjected to a major physical infliction, such as mutilation, for example. There have been instances where people have paid to replace parts of their body with mechanical versions.

Cybernetic Enhancements

When a person turns into a cyborg, they also acquire an augmentation, which after a certain amount of time upgrades to an advanced version. Also, cyborgs can visit those who specialize in dealing with cyborgs to switch out or gain new augmentations.

Cyborg Names

Since cyborgs originate from humans, they share the same naming conventions as humans.

Cyborg Traits

Your cyborg character has an assortment of abilities acquired by your cybernetic augmentations.

Ability Score Increase. You can choose to raise one ability score by 2 and a different ability score by 1, or you can raise 3 different abilitiy scores by 1.

Age Depending on the condition of the metal used, the lifespan of a cyborg can either increase exponentially or by only a few extra years. The longest known cyborg to live was 375 years.

Alignment Alignment among cyborgs are varied. Some choose to use their gifts to protect others while others decide to use their enhancements for their own gain.

Size Because cyborgs originate from humans, their height can vary. When determining weight, add an additional 2d6 x 10 to your weight due to the metal on your body. Your size is Medium.

Speed Cyborgs have a base walking speed of 30 feet.

Metallic Body When you aren't wearing armor, your AC is 12 + your Dexterity modifier. You can use your natural armor to determine your AC if the armor you wear would leave you with a lower AC. A shield's benefits apply as normal while you use your natural armor.

Languages You can speak, read, and write Common and one extra language of your choice.

Cybernetic Augmentation At the time of your process of becoming a cyborg, you were given an augmentation.

At 1st-level, choose one of the following options, which upgrades when you reach 5th-level:

-Enhanced Vision You have darkvision up to 60 feet. You can see in dim light as if it was bright light and darkness as if it was dim light. At 5th-level, you can see in both magical and nonmagical darkness, and you have blindsight out to a range of 10 ft. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of grey.

-Hydraulic Limbs You become proficient with unarmed strikes and your unarmed strikes deal 1d4 + your Strength modifier bludgeoning damage. At 5th-level, your unarmed strikes deal 1d6 + your Strength modifier bludgeoning damage, you count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push, drag, or lift, and your jump distance is doubled.

-Hover Systems When falling, you can use your reaction to slow your fall by 5 feet x your level. At 5th-level, as an action, you gain a flying speed equal to your movement speed for 1 minute. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

-Plated Metal Your base AC increases to 17, but you can no longer add your Dexterity modifier to it. Your AC can still raise through the use of a shield. At 5th level, you gain resistance to one damage type of your choice: acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder.
