|  Name: Sapien Ialysos Chapter: Argent Ultima Rank: 6 Specialty: Techmarine - Chapter Demeanor:
While all Space Marines utilise wargear that the vast bulk of Humanity regard as a work of technological marvel, some have access to the most arcane and revered of weapons, armour and other devices. Such Chapters invariably maintain close links with the Adeptus Mechanicus, perhaps having served side by side with the servants of the Omnissiah in a past campaign, establishing common connections that both groups value. Through their training and their access to such marvels, the Battle-Brothers have developed a certain expertise in the use of advanced wargear and know how to get the best from such items. These brethren eschew simple weapons in favour of more complex ones, and when serving in the Deathwatch are ideal when the Kill-team is issued with specialised equipment or unusual items, especially those rendered up from the mysterious depths of the Omega Vault at the heart of Watch Station Erioch.
- Personal Demeanor:
Humanity is still a young race in the eyes of the ancient enemy, and but children when measured against the frightful age of the galaxy and its many wonders and horrors. The <REDACTED> have peered behind the curtain of time and seen the darkness which lurks beyond, an empty pit of nothing, which can consume the mind of man and drive him to madness. A Battle-Brother of the <REDACTED> knows that he is but a flicker of light in this darkness, the briefest spark of defiance against an enemy that is the very darkness itself and yet fights on regardless. All material foes will fall before the march of time, the turn of years bringing their accomplishments to dust, and are thus little concern when measured against the <REDACTED> and its progenitors. Under such stresses an ordinary man would give in to despair, unable to comprehend the ageless foe and reduced to madness by the scale of its evil.
However, Battle-Brothers are the greatest warriors humanity has ever fashioned and cannot accept such weakness. Battle-Brothers of the <REDACTED> seem strange and distant at times, the knowledge behind their eyes unsettling even for members of the Inquisition who are used to the weight of terrible secrets. They have wandered into the dark places of the Jericho Reach, places where no man has ever set foot, to face horrors beyond a human mind’s ability to fathom or reason, and walked back out again. This can make members of the <REDACTED> seem distant and cold, the knowledge they hold making all other enemies seem mundane and common, of little concern and holding only the shadow of threat when compared against the terror and evil of the <REDACTED>.
The secrets they keep can also be a weight driving a wedge between them and their Battle-Brothers, even those from their own Chapter who have not served with the <REDACTED>, the oaths of duty to their Chapter Master tainted by their oaths to the <REDACTED>, which keep them from speaking of the secrets of the <REDACTED>.
<REDACTED> can also become infected with the shadow of death should they delve too often into the darkness of <REDACTED> or uncover too much lore about their foes. After a time the Battle-Brother becomes burdened with the knowledge that the <REDACTED> is older even that his entire race, and its long and bloody history is but a fl eeting moment in the roll of endless years. Filled with such thoughts, the Battle-Brother sees death in all things, and the decayed state he will eventually embrace. Men and women are walking corpses while even the greatest city is but a pile of rubble and ash; such is the destiny of all things.
Past Event: Lost in the depths Deeds: Return to Duty, Scion of Skaros (Mars) , <REDACTED UNDER INQUISITORIAL SEAL> - Scion of Skaros:
Due to the isolation of the Calisota sector, the thought of actually going to mars is little more than a pipe dream for those of the argent ultime. For that reason, the techmarines of the argent ultima spend years (even decades) on the Shrine-world of Skaros Primus, an artificial world and masterwork of the machine-god. There, they are taught the many rites and litanies that will be essential in guiding the whole chapter in its worship of the Omnissiah.

The Techmarine has had his implanted systems integrated with a many-armed servo harness, allowing him to use its pincer-arms and weapon arrays as if they were extra limbs of his body. The Techmarine may be fitted with and use a Servoharness (see page 177 in Chapter V: Armoury) and may use weapons fitted to the harness in which he is proficient.
- Combat Formation:
The character has directed his comrades to prepare for danger, planning out their actions for many contingencies if attacked. Before rolling Initiative, all other members of the group may choose to use the character’s Intelligence Bonus for all Initiative rolls rather than individual Agility Bonuses.

At Rank 1–3, the Space Marine may benefi t from the Squad Mode abilities specifi c to any other Chapter. When members
of the Kill-team activate a Chapter-specific Squad Mode ability, the activating Battle-Brother can choose to allow any Space Marines from a different Chapter possessing this Talent to benefi t from the ability as well.

+++++++ Cybernetics:-Mechanicus implants - Spoiler:
The character is a servant of the Machine-God, an initiate into the mysteries of the Priesthood of Mars and as such is vessel for the following implants:
Electro-graft
The Electro-graft is a small port that is grafted into the nervous system. Once a recipient has been properly trained, this allows him to interface with machine data ports and certain types of data nets. Electro-grafts can take many forms, such as skull shunts, finger probes, or spine jacks.
Electoo Inductors
Electoo Inductors are palm-sized metal skin grafts that appear much like tattoos to the uninitiated. The electoos are wired into the nervous system, where they derive power from the bio-electrical emanations of the flesh and the sacred mysteries of the Potenia Coil. They can be used to emit or siphon power in many ways.
Respirator Unit
A Respirator Unit implant involves tubes, wires, vox-grills, or other augmetic parts replacing the neck and upper chest. The unit purifies the air supply, granting a +20 bonus to resist airborne toxins and gas weapons. The respirator unit also contains a vox-synthesiser capable of transmitting the voice in a variety of ways.
Cyber-mantle
The Cyber-mantle is a framework of metal, wires, and impulse transmitters bolted onto the spine and lower ribcage. As the initiate gains further implants, this mantle acts as a sub-dermal anchorage point. Amongst some servants of the Omnissiah, this cyber-mantle is often referred to as “the true flesh.”
Potentia Coil
Cradled within the cyber-mantle is a power unit known as the Potentia Coil. This mass can store energy and produce various types of fields. Coils come in many types, from small crystal stack affairs to bulky electrical galvinators.
Cranial Circuitry
Cranial circuitry is a series of linked processors, implants, and cortical circuits that enhances mental capacities. Most sit within housing bolted onto the skull, whilst others nestle within the brain itself.
- Exceptional Mind Impulse Unit (Distinction) - Spoiler:
Common models give no modifiers to machine spirit communication and add a +10 bonus to the Tech-Use, Pilot, or Drive Tests used in conjunction with devices capable of MIU link.
Exceptional models grant a +10 bonus to communicate with machine spirits, and for Tech-Use, Pilot, Drive, Logic, Inquiry, and Ballistic Skill Tests when interfaced with MIU systems.
- Exceptional Augur Array (Techamrine-Respected) - Spoiler:
A character using an auspex gains a +20 bonus to Awareness Tests and may make a Tech-Use Test to spot things not normally detectable to human senses alone, such as invisible gases, nearby bio-signs, or ambient radiation. The standard range for an auspex is 50m, though walls more than 50cm thick and certain shielding materials can block the scanner. In all cases their use requires concentration and a Half Action. Exceptional systems function as a full auspex and also allow re-rolls on Perception based Tests when using its functions.
- Masterwork Cerebral Implants (signature wargear, master) - Spoiler:
These grant the user the Unnatural Intelligence (x2) Trait and a +20 bonus to Logic and Lore Tests, thanks to the superior mental capabilities he now enjoys.
Re-roll failed Skill Tests made to use the item.
- Calculus Logi Upgrade (Techmarine) - Spoiler:
+10 on logic, linguistics and scholastic lore rolls.

Chapter Trapping, Argent Panoptic-helm: The Calisota sector, home of the Argent Ultima, is an unusual place. The tech-priest there claim that in the sector, the machines “sing”, hymns of joy, hymns of labor, hymns of power that the local mechanicus call the “Choir Mechanic”. This choir, strong and powerful in Calisota, is weak and forlorn elsewhere; whispered odes and elegies that speak of pain and grim duty, that none save the most sensitive can even perceive. As much of the rituals of the Argent Ultima are built around the Choir Mechanic, it is very painful for them to be away from it, and thus they never leave the sector. For those astartes called to the Deathwatch, the Choir Master (chapter master) provides a series of plans to build the Argent Panoptic-helm. These silver, faceless helms augment the power armor autosenses specifically to enhance the hearing of the Choir Mechanic; for even a dour elegy is better than no hymns at all. As is the case with all Argent Ultima equipment, the helm is polished to a mirrored, chrome-like sheen; its faceplate is a one-way mirror of argent design strong as adamantine. When the helm is active, glowing technogramattic wards appear showing a faint outline of the helms utilities. For out-of combat situations, the sensory-augmenting parts of the helm can be separated, though their presence is always obvious. In-game effects:The helm augments the battle-brother’s sensitivity to machines. The player gains a +10 to perception checks related to machines. This includes detecting & analyzing machines, as well as detecting creatures with the Machine trait.

| Appearance
Height: 8’ 0"
Eyes: Silver-Grey
Hair: Completely Bald
Complexion: Pale grey skin, unusually reflective
Quirks: Somewhat distracted affect, always listening to the Choir Mechanic. He is otherwise a very calm and secretive individual. He gets extremely incensed when people disrespect machine-spirits. His voice has an odd cadence and accent, as if his first language where techna-lingua. He also lack large sequences of his history, removed through hypno-conditioning, due to his experiences with the Ordo Xenos.
Sapiens is a heavily-cyberneticised space marine. Save for a few battle scars, his body is relatively unmarred, as most of his cybernetics are internal. He also wears the sound-amplifying parts of his helm even out of battle, to better be able to hear machine spirits
In battle, he tends to be very calm and focused on the task at hand, seeing battle as a game of n-dimensional chess. He favors asymmetrical tactics to maximize enemy harm and minimize ally harm, eschewing traditional “charge first” tactics in favor of traps, sabotage, enemy manipulation and use of the environment. He also is a follower of the so-called “Hexcalandrax doctrine”, developed during the 2nd Calisotan crusade, which states “Fight without emotion, pleasure, savagery, or courage, as these seem to feed our enemies (at the time mostly Orks and khornate cultists). To achieve victory, one must fight for duty, must fight with wisdom, and must remain collecte at all times”.
When not in combat, Sapiens can be found in his forge, working to repair his weapons & armour or creating new ones; it is a fundamental Argent Ultima belief that one must make as many of their own weapons as possible. He can also frequently be found connected to cogitator or searching through librariums seeking things he has not yet learned. On some occasion, he may be seen repairing a machine or mechanism in his environment, to ensure that the Choir Mechanic is as harmonious as possible (difficult with the sad, dutiful machines of the galaxy outside the Calisota sector).
History:
Born among the primitive tribes of the death-world of Skaros Ialysos, he was always fascinated by the myths & legends of the tribe, in particular those of the Silver Gods who whisked away the wisest and strongest to fight alongside them in heaven. One day in his youth, he started hearing a strange song whispering in the wilds. With great difficulty he followed it; eventually reach the legendary Argent Pillar, the fortress-monastery of the Argent Ultima. The guards, seeing a mere barbarian child had been able to follow the Choir Mechanics, recruited him immediately as a novice. Due to his inherent talent with machines, he became a techmarine, studying for several decades on the forge-world of Skaros, learning the knowledge of all twelve branches of the Magos.
Shortly after his training was finished, he began his tour of duty with the 4th choir (company), fighting orks & khornate cultists during the 3rd calisotan crusade. His talents at detecting & using archeotech led his company to many victories, as he discovered martial artifacts of great power & majesty. This eventually led to his promotion to the 1st choir, stationed on his homeworld of Ialysos. There, his time was mainly spent on active missions to assist the Magos Juris, destroying hereteks & finding (and purifying) archeotech all over the sector.
A mission to assist an explorator team in the <REDACTED> of Skaros Aeros revealed strange secrets to him, and allowed him the honor of recovering an STC printout of <REDACTED>. It is at that time he attracted the attention of the Ordo Xenos for his discovery of <REDACTED> on Skaros Aeros. He was seconded to them, and spent several decades in their serves at Watch-fortress Excalibris. While there he faced a bevy of Xenos races, though Sapiens and the inquisitors he followed sought out <REDACTED>.
Shortly before he was to take his leave and return to the Argent Ultima, an Omega Crimson class summons came, ordering him to report to Watch-Fortress Erioch with all haste but no other details. He quickly assembled his wargear (including a near-complete set of self-made artificer armor) and servants and made haste on the first courier-corvette heading to the Claixis sector, then to the Jericho reach. As he prepares to disembark at watch-fortress Erioch, he wonders why he has been called such a long way…

| Guntram, the War-Raven (Corvus Blackstar)  Built in his early years in Fort Excalibris, Guntram is a young, aggressive machine-spirit, canny but still unwise. This has not been helped by Sapien's tendency to "spoil" his metal child with the finest care and attention, even attempting to teach its learning algorithms the basics of logis-prophecy combat. Like all corvus blackstars, no other could dare interfacing with it without risking decerebration. Nonetheless, it has acquitted its duties honorably; similar to land raiders, it has periodically acted independantly; in its most exceptional case, it refused orders and, dodging through an entire dark eldar slaver-fleet, managed to save Sapiens and his kill-team who had been heavily pinned down. Artisan Eritrea Triangulum  The forge-world Skaros has very close ties to the Argent Ultima, and sometimes offers to it’s most promising the opportunity to gain knowledge in service of the chapter. Tech-priest artisan Eritrea Triangulum is one such person, having been seconded to Sapiens Ialysos for the last half-century. She serves mainly as an assistant in endeavors of craft, maintains Sapien’s technological equipment when he is unable to and as spiritual council in matters of the cult mechanicus. While she originally believed this posting a punishement to prevent from rising further in the mechanicus hierarchy, she has gained access to realms of knowledge previously unseen while serving the Argent Ultima. She has accepted that Sapiens is the one most likely to lead her to new and unhear-of technologies, or to the mysteries of the dark age. She has learned to tread lightly around space marines and inquisition members, who often react violently to her instinctive pursuit of the Quest for Knowledge. Genetor Saembra DeVerres  Tasked with servicing Sapien’s “Machine of flesh”, Saembra has served the Argent Ultima since before Sapiens was born. She even participated in the process of Sapien’s augmentation. As she started approaching the maximal age of even a heavily augmented human, she was excluded by the other Priest-Servants of the chapter due to her lack of significant achievements. When Sapiens first joined the Calisotan Deathwatch, he invited her to follow, and she has since become a useful (if slightly senile) assistant to him. Her diminishing perception has given her a somewhat cold and detached demeanor. She is Sapien’s oldest living friend, and has managed to instill in him a great respect for the so-called “Machine of flesh”, attempting to make him realize that the flesh is not weak; it is that steel & flesh together are stronger. The Assembly Brothers  A trio of assembly servitors tasked with attaching and removing Sapien’s power armor appear almost (but not quite) identical, which led to them being nicknamed “brothers”. They are otherwise perfectly ordinary servitors with no other skills or abilities. Mapmaker X129901 Calligraphus Servitor Initially found in a dark-age ruin during a strike against Xenos pirates, Sapiens ensured the purity of the servitor and brought it back into service. While the servitor traditionally acts as an average calligraphus servitor, it has shown an unusual skill at map-making. Sapiens has some suspicion there may be hidden technology in the servitor, as it shows an almost prescient capacity in adding information to maps that he himself did not know he needed. Bobert and Zobert, servo-skulls (If I ever bring on a mission, will pay for with requisition)  Recovered from a now-dead inquisitor of the ordo xenos (who gave them these odd names apparently locked into their programming), these servo-skulls have been heavily modified for stealth & perception. With delta-grade concealment protocols, Z-nect soundless antigrav engines and an elaborate auspex array, these servo-skulls have served as Sapien’s faithful scouts.

| Artificer Armor (WIP, for future, will be had once the signature wargear can be afforded) AP: 12 History: Last Survivor, Blood of those who came before (Renamed Blessing of the Omnissiah, Remembrance of those who came before) - History Rolls:
Blessing of the OmnissiahRare are those artificers who manage true perfection in the service of the omnissiah. Those who manage to craft with a skill equal or greater than those of the dark age of technology are said to be blessed, as the omnissiah provides them with the good fortune to continue the quest for knowledge. Remembrance of those who came beforeAs a techmarine, the astartes feels not just the death of battle-brothers, but the death of every machine-spirit as well. This armor is marked by a piece of every machine that has died in service alongside the techmarine, reminding him of his duty both to man and machine, that he never again fear death.

| Sapiens Ialysos service badges  Distinguished service badge, Fort ExcalibrisHis first secondment, Fort Excalibris is the closest to his home sector. Originally recommended for secondment by an Ordo Xenos inquisitor Alphas Das Gupta for <REDACTED BY INQUISITORIAL AUTHORITY>, he has served faithful for the last two decades. Due to inquisitorial redaction, this is the only sign he has been allowed to keep of his time there. Distinguished service badge, Third Calisotan CrusadeStarted in 723M41, the third Calisotan crusade had as an over-arching goal to eliminate those last few Orkish and Chaotic forces rimward of the core of the sector. While it has (for now) been successful, losses have been heavy, leading to the death of the Argent-Ultima chapter master and countless human lives. Distinguished service badge, Battle of Prandius PhallThe battle of Prandius Phall was considered one of the most gruesome episodes of the third Calisotan crusade. Originally a world of no importance, far from trade routes, with a small tribal population and no known resources, it was nonetheless assaulted by a large group of Skaros Skitarius. The locals put up a spirited resistance, and called in various allies they had within the forces of Chaos. This led to reinforcements from the imperial guard, and everything snowballed from there, with the Skaros Mechanicus refusing any plan that involved retreating from the world. At great cost, the planet was won, but millions died for a world most would consider worthless. Army badge, Skaros SkitariusDuring the battle of Prandius Phall, Sapiens served alongside a great many battalions of Skitarius, the inspirational presence of the children of the Omnissiah leading them to ever-greater victory.

| THE BOX (No numerical advantage, pretty much just for fluff purposes)  As a techmarine and armourer, Sapiens has always had a significant amount of tools built over his long life. When he was first sent to the deathwatch this presented him with a conundrum, as his travels in service often made it impossible to transport what was required on his person alone. To ease transportation, Sapiens created The Box. Made to ressemble a standardized munitorum shipping container, the box unfolds (into a space corresponding to a Z37 standard imperial berth) showing all the many tools needed to create and repair almost anything a space marine might need. While still too massive to be used in the field, it is easily used on even the smallest warp-capable transport vessels. As time passed, and his interest in advancing his trade and in pushing the boundaries of Logis-prophecy combat he integrated many new modules. These include: -The Logis-Vault: due to the inherent lack of security in the Noosphere, Sapiens created a high-security logis-vault to keep his accumulated combat data secure. Unlike most devices, it can only be communicated with through direct MIU interfacing, and it’s machine spirit reacts violently to any other than Sapiens who attempt to acces it. -Active hypno-sensorium tube: Sapiens spends an average of 4 hours every day in this tube filled with a clear gelatin-like substance, absorbing endless hours of combat video and audio. This is his training, absorbing the knowledge and experience of as many combats as possible. -The Argent Panoply: Due to his position as choir-leader, Sapiens believes it is critical that he has intimate knowledge of the machine-spirits of his equipment. For that reason, he has crafted most of his own weapons & armor, that shine as polished silver. While he does not use equipment unauthorized by the watch-captain, he always favors his own equipment. The panoply also includes his almost-complete Artificer armor, which he has been working on for decades. He is nearing completion, with only the last few adjustments and optimizations required for regular use.

Name: Sapien Ialysos
Chapter: Argent Ultima
Rank: 4
Specialty: Techmarine
- Chapter Demeanor:
While all Space Marines utilise wargear that the vast bulk of Humanity regard as a work of technological marvel, some have access to the most arcane and revered of weapons, armour and other devices. Such Chapters invariably maintain close links with the Adeptus Mechanicus, perhaps having served side by side with the servants of the Omnissiah in a past campaign, establishing common connections that both groups value. Through their training and their access to such marvels, the Battle-Brothers have developed a certain expertise in the use of advanced wargear and know how to get the best from such items. These brethren eschew simple weapons in favour of more complex ones, and when serving in the Deathwatch are ideal when the Kill-team is issued with specialised equipment or unusual items, especially those rendered up from the mysterious depths of the Omega Vault at the heart of Watch Station Erioch.
- Personal Demeanor:
Humanity is still a young race in the eyes of the ancient enemy, and but children when measured against the frightful age of the galaxy and its many wonders and horrors. The <REDACTED> have peered behind the curtain of time and seen the darkness which lurks beyond, an empty pit of nothing, which can consume the mind of man and drive him to madness. A Battle-Brother of the <REDACTED> knows that he is but a flicker of light in this darkness, the briefest spark of defiance against an enemy that is the very darkness itself and yet fights on regardless. All material foes will fall before the march of time, the turn of years bringing their accomplishments to dust, and are thus little concern when measured against the <REDACTED> and its progenitors. Under such stresses an ordinary man would give in to despair, unable to comprehend the ageless foe and reduced to madness by the scale of its evil.
However, Battle-Brothers are the greatest warriors humanity has ever fashioned and cannot accept such weakness. Battle-Brothers of the <REDACTED> seem strange and distant at times, the knowledge behind their eyes unsettling even for members of the Inquisition who are used to the weight of terrible secrets. They have wandered into the dark places of the Jericho Reach, places where no man has ever set foot, to face horrors beyond a human mind’s ability to fathom or reason, and walked back out again. This can make members of the <REDACTED> seem distant and cold, the knowledge they hold making all other enemies seem mundane and common, of little concern and holding only the shadow of threat when compared against the terror and evil of the <REDACTED>.
The secrets they keep can also be a weight driving a wedge between them and their Battle-Brothers, even those from their own Chapter who have not served with the <REDACTED>, the oaths of duty to their Chapter Master tainted by their oaths to the <REDACTED>, which keep them from speaking of the secrets of the <REDACTED>.
<REDACTED> can also become infected with the shadow of death should they delve too often into the darkness of <REDACTED> or uncover too much lore about their foes. After a time the Battle-Brother becomes burdened with the knowledge that the <REDACTED> is older even that his entire race, and its long and bloody history is but a fl eeting moment in the roll of endless years. Filled with such thoughts, the Battle-Brother sees death in all things, and the decayed state he will eventually embrace. Men and women are walking corpses while even the greatest city is but a pile of rubble and ash; such is the destiny of all things.
Past Event: Lost in the depths
Deeds: Return to Duty, Scion of Skaros (Mars) , <REDACTED UNDER INQUISITORIAL SEAL>
- Scion of Skaros:
Due to the isolation of the Calisota sector, the thought of actually going to mars is little more than a pipe dream for those of the argent ultime. For that reason, the techmarines of the argent ultima spend years (even decades) on the Shrine-world of Skaros Primus, an artificial world and masterwork of the machine-god. There, they are taught the many rites and litanies that will be essential in guiding the whole chapter in its worship of the Omnissiah.

Cybernetics:
-Mechanicus implants
- Spoiler:
The character is a servant of the Machine-God, an initiate into the mysteries of the Priesthood of Mars and as such is vessel for the following implants:
Electro-graft
The Electro-graft is a small port that is grafted into the nervous system. Once a recipient has been properly trained, this allows him to interface with machine data ports and certain types of data nets. Electro-grafts can take many forms, such as skull shunts, finger probes, or spine jacks.
Electoo Inductors
Electoo Inductors are palm-sized metal skin grafts that appear much like tattoos to the uninitiated. The electoos are wired into the nervous system, where they derive power from the bio-electrical emanations of the flesh and the sacred mysteries of the Potenia Coil. They can be used to emit or siphon power in many ways.
Respirator Unit
A Respirator Unit implant involves tubes, wires, vox-grills, or other augmetic parts replacing the neck and upper chest. The unit purifies the air supply, granting a +20 bonus to resist airborne toxins and gas weapons. The respirator unit also contains a vox-synthesiser capable of transmitting the voice in a variety of ways.
Cyber-mantle
The Cyber-mantle is a framework of metal, wires, and impulse transmitters bolted onto the spine and lower ribcage. As the initiate gains further implants, this mantle acts as a sub-dermal anchorage point. Amongst some servants of the Omnissiah, this cyber-mantle is often referred to as “the true flesh.”
Potentia Coil
Cradled within the cyber-mantle is a power unit known as the Potentia Coil. This mass can store energy and produce various types of fields. Coils come in many types, from small crystal stack affairs to bulky electrical galvinators.
Cranial Circuitry
Cranial circuitry is a series of linked processors, implants, and cortical circuits that enhances mental capacities. Most sit within housing bolted onto the skull, whilst others nestle within the brain itself.
- Exceptional Mind Impulse Unit (Distinction)
- Spoiler:
Common models give no modifiers to machine spirit communication and add a +10 bonus to the Tech-Use, Pilot, or Drive Tests used in conjunction with devices capable of MIU link.
Exceptional models grant a +10 bonus to communicate with machine spirits, and for Tech-Use, Pilot, Drive, Logic, Inquiry, and Ballistic Skill Tests when interfaced with MIU systems.
- Exceptional Augur Array (Techamrine-Respected)
- Spoiler:
A character using an auspex gains a +20 bonus to Awareness Tests and may make a Tech-Use Test to spot things not normally detectable to human senses alone, such as invisible gases, nearby bio-signs, or ambient radiation. The standard range for an auspex is 50m, though walls more than 50cm thick and certain shielding materials can block the scanner. In all cases their use requires concentration and a Half Action. Exceptional systems function as a full auspex and also allow re-rolls on Perception based Tests when using its functions.
- Masterwork Cerebral Implants (signature wargear, master)
- Spoiler:
These grant the user the Unnatural Intelligence (x2) Trait and a +20 bonus to Logic and Lore Tests, thanks to the superior mental capabilities he now enjoys.
