Human, Cyborg

A variant of the human race which represent cybernetic augmentations. The limitation of resurrection and healing magic causes more arcane magic-based societies to seek alternative treatment for those who are terribly ill, dying or dead. Through magical infusion, some humans can be made into cyborgs, who live and breathe like their kin but possess many traits and advantages of constructs. Some societies create cyborgs as soldiers and assassins while some individuals seek the transformation for themselves, usually for the extended lifespan.

A human cyborg look like a normal human, except she may have visible mechanical augmentations, even those with more subtle augmentations show some signs under the right circumstances. A sufficiently perceptive individual will eventually figure out cybernetic augmentation of even the most subtle of cyborg unless disguised.

Racial Traits

• Humanoid (Human) 
• Medium: As a Medium creature, a human, cyborg has no special bonuses or penalties due to its size.
• Human, Cyborg base land speed is 30 feet.  
• Cybernetics: A human cyborg receives the Cyborg feat as a bonus feat. 
• Humanity: A human cyborg still retains much of her humanity, she gains the skilled racial feature of a human. 
• Mechanical Augmentation (Ex): A human cyborg has undergone many improvements to their physical capabilities. Upon character creation, a cyborg human may choose any one of the following: a bonus [warforged] feat she meets the prerequisites of, a +1 bonus on both Fortitude and Reflex save or a +5 bonus to her base land speed. 
• Robotic Body (Ex): A cyborg’s body is both organic and mechanical, which sadly make healing inherently more difficult. A human cyborg heals at half the normal rate. The DC of heal checks made on a human cyborg are increased by 5, unless the healer possesses the Craft Construct feat. 
• System Flaw (Ex): The necessary procedures needed to make a cyborg leaves them with a compromised immune system and a weakness to electricity. A human cyborg takes a -2 penalty against disease and effects with the [electricity] descriptor. If a human cyborg rolls a natural 1 on a save against an [electricity] effect, she becomes stunned for 1 round.

Alternate Racial Feature

• Flawless Creation: The cyborg had undergone a particularly intense transformation, leaving the cyborg without the flaws typically associated with being a cyborg, but lost parts of humanity alongside. This racial trait replaces the humanity and system flaw racial traits.
• Humanity Retained: Sometimes a cyborg has only undergone surgery to repair absolutely traumatic body damage. While their cybernetic body isn't particularly sturdy or compatible with any augments, they have fully retained their humanity. A cyborg with this racial trait gain both the human's bonus feat and skilled racial traits. This racial traits replaces the Humanity and Mechanical Augmentation racial trait. You may trade those racial trait for alternate human racial trait as if you were a regular human.
• Prosthetic Limbs: A cyborg with this racial trait has lost most, if not all of her limbs. She counts unarmed strike delivered with her replaced limbs as armed and maydeal lethal damage with them. Additionally she counts her Strength as 2 higher for the purpose of her carrying capacity. This racial trait replaces the Humanity racial traits. If the cyborg has the Humanity Retained racial trait it instead only replaces Skilled.
