Shield Mods

[Shield] [Mods] are beneficial [Modifications] you may install on your [Shield] with the help of skilled merchants or through a [Character's] own skill in Tech or Masteries such as Fabrication, Mechanics, or Industrial.

Most [Mods] have restrictions on what types of [Item] they may be installed on, this is indicated by the [Mods's] [Archetype] and [Subtype], if a [Mod] shares an [Archetype] AND [Subtype] with the [Item] you wish to install it on, you may do so, if it does not share an Archetype or Subtype then you may not.

Both [Mods] and [Items] have Brawn Requirements, when adding a [Mod] to an [Item], the Greater of the two Brawn Requirements is the [Item's] new Brawn Requirement

Example: An Underslung Welding Tool has a Brawn Requirement of 4 and if installed in a Buckler, Which has a Brawn Requirement of 3, would increase the Requirement to 4.
