Luminen Capacitors (Cybernetic)

The Guardsman’s internal energies, either through biological or artificial sources, are channeled into capacitors buried in the flesh, where they can be tapped to recharge items or even released in devastating attacks.
With a successful Toughness Test, the character may recharge or power machinery. This requires one minute of mental focus and meditation. The difficulty of the Toughness Test varies depending on the nature of the powered system.

• Ordinary (+10): Simple Power Cell, Illuminator
• Challenging (+0): Weapon Charge Pack, Data-Slate, Bridge Terminal
• Difficult (–10): Shuttle electronics, Servo-Skull
• Hard (–20): Lascannon Charge Pack, Servitor, Bridge Hololith
• Very Hard (–30): Cogitator Core, Reactor Machine Spirit, Xenos Technology

The device can also be used offensively, however it requires Talents to use properly. Only a Player Character with Mechanicus Implants Trait (see page 156) may use this device.
Poor Craftsmanship variants impose a –10 penalty to all Toughness Tests made to use them. Good Craftsmanship variants grant a +10 bonus to all Toughness Tests made to use them.
