Hardpoints

Hardpoints are how Mods, Cyberware and [Components] can be installed on Items, Characters and [Vehicles] respectively.

Items, Characters and [Vehicles] each have an amount of Hardpoints that can be spent on the Hardpoint Tax of Mods, Cyberware and [Components].

Hardpoints for each are gained in the following ways:

• Items: Items have an inherent amount of Hardpoints unique to each Item . Some Abilities granted by [Masteries] such as [Mechanics] and [Industrial] can grant extra Item Hardpoints.
• Characters: Characters have Hardpoints equal to their combined Brawn and Panache. Some Abilities such as those from Chromer can grant extra Character Hardpoints.
• [Vehicles]: [Vehicles] have no inherent Hardpoints and instead gain the bulk of their Hardpoints from [Compartment] [Components] and some [Auxilliary] [Components].
