Perfect
This article has information that is missing or not up to par.
Reason: What is the relevance of the base ambient temperature to the use of this item?

transkinetic cuffs are arm equipment that regulates body temperature. Equipping the cuffs will grant the activated ability Set Target Temperature. This allows the wearer to change their body temperature, which can help prevent freezing and burning.

Their effect is not instantaneous, so the wearer can still be affected by temperature-changing effects (such as rimewyk breath), but it will reduce the time required to get back to normal temperature.

Tips

This section is opinion-based. Your mileage may vary.
  • They can remove the quickness penalty from Cold-Blooded and even turn it into a quickness bonus.
  • They consume a lot of energy, so a higher-tier battery is recommended.
  • Setting the target temperature to -100 will freeze the wearer until the battery runs out. 350 will set the wearer on fire. If one wishes to maintain "default" temperature 25 is the base ambient temperature of Qud.
