[Implant] - cherubic visage

Carnal instructions dictate the reformation of the face's bone structure and plump tissue mass into a soft and angelic countenance. Through such thaumaturgy, the people of hoary Ibul, cradled in the breast of a collapsed ice shelf, wander its lamplighted streets in rosy-cheeked disinterest.

A cherubic visage is a Cybernetic that grants a +1 bonus to Ego upon installation. This bonus is considered a permanent part of the user's Ego total, allowing it to count towards skill requirements. The implant can be selected by Ibulian True Kin castes during character creation. It can also be found in the world, though at a much lower rate than non-exclusive Cybernetics[1].

Advantages & Disadvantages

This section is opinion-based. Your mileage may vary.

Advantages

  • Only costs one license point, allowing greater flexibility.
  • Lowers merchant prices slightly, which is very useful when the player has little water and is unable to easily get more.
  • Can be installed and uninstalled at the players leisure. Some settlements such as Grit Gate have becoming nooks, which allow for easy swapping when wanting to trade.

Disadvantages

  • Little direct utility in combat.
  • Broadly inferior to beautiful visage.
  • Extremely challenging to find outside of character creation.

Tips

  • When playing as the Consul Caste, installing this cybernetic allows the player to potentially start with 28 Ego, the highest of any caste or calling.
  • The Ego bonus can be used to temporarily boost the effectiveness of the skills Menacing Stare, Intimidate and Proselytize.
