[[:Mechanic:Rating:Hardpoint|Hardpoints]] are a representation of an [[:Item]] or [[:Character:Entity|Entity's]] ability to install and retain technology such as [[:Cyberware]], [Components] or [[:Item:Mod|Mods]].\\

[[:Character|Characters]] may install [[:Cyberware]] on their body so long as they have enough [[:Mechanic:Rating:Hardpoint|Hardpoints]] available to pay the [[:Game Mechanics:Definitions:Hardpoint Tax]]

In addition once 10 [[:Mechanic:Rating:Hardpoint|Hardpoints]] have been utilised on a [[:Character]] by installed [[:Cyberware]] they become so chromed out they gain the [[:Mechanic:General:Physiology#Technological Physiology]] and all the rules that would apply to having such a [[:Mechanic:General:Physiology]].
