transparent skin is a moderate cost cybernetic implant which upon installation provides the user with +3 DV.

This boost can stack with other sources of DV and is roughly equivalent to having 6 additional points of Agility when calculating +

Advantages & Disadvantages

Advantages

• Strong boost relative to license cost.
• Provides a noticeable improvement to survivability at all stages of the game.
• Grants some protection against various later game creatures that possess deadly avoidable attacks which otherwise largely ignore the user's AV. Such attacks and creatures include:
  • The mutating gaze of gamma moths.
  • The Willpower-draining strike of enigma snails.
  • The limb-dismembering beam possessed by decarbonizers.
  • The limb-dismembering claws of astral tabbies.
  • The barrage of HE Missiles fired by chrome pyramids.
  • The instant death or dismemberment-inflicting attacks possessed by certain castes of cherubim

Disadvantages

• Can be made somewhat irrelevant with more careful play.
• +3 DV can alternatively be obtained by injecting 6 Eaters' nectar injectors and boosting agility, freeing up the body or backslot for an implant with effects that cannot be as easily replicated, such as magnetic core,phase-adaptive scope or medassist module.
• Moderate cost can be a bit prohibitive depending on the user's license tier and build goals.
• Ranged attacks are generally easier to avoid than melee ones, potentially limiting the cybernetic's defensive utility for more ranged-focused characters.

Tips

• • Melee-focused characters who generally do not need certain backslot exclusive cybernetics like gun rack, may have an easier time finding space for transparent skin or other utility implants such as intravenous port.
