Carbide hand bones is a lower cost cybernetic implant which increase the damage potential for the implantee's unarmed attacks to 2d32-6 (Avg: 4). They are the lowest-damage unarmed implants available in Caves of Qud, being outclassed by the 
fullerite hand bones and 
crysteel hand bones, respectively. The damage provided is on par with an unmodified 
carbide hammer, with the added benefit of possessing uncapped PV
Notably, the implant only affects the pair of hands it is implanted in, and do not apply to additional hands granted by 
helping hands (or 
Multiple Arms, in the rare scenario where a True Kin gains that mutation).
The player can chose to begin the game with carbide hand bones as their starting cybernetic. They can also be purchased from a 
gutsmonger or found in a 
cybernetics rack attached to a 
becoming nook.
