Armor Type: Any
Your armor is wired to allow an integrated onboard computer to
monitor your condition and operate some functions of your armor.
An armor interface comes with a tier 1 computer with an artificial
personality and a single control module linked to your armor. You
can access this computer without exposing it or yourself to the
environment outside of your armor, and you receive information
from it through heads-up displays and broadcasts via your
armor's integrated comm unit.
With a successful Computers check (DC = the DC needed
to hack the computer) you can set the computer to give basic
information about your condition (blood pressure, heart
rate, temperature, and so on) to authorized users (which you
designate), or to anyone with a medkit, advanced medkit, or
medical lab. Characters who can access this information gain a
+2 circumstance bonus to Medicine checks they attempt on you.
With 10 minutes of work, you can set the computer's control
module to operate any one system in your armor, as long as
that system doesn't take a full action or longer to activate or
deactivate. Common applications are environmental protections
or a force field armor upgrade. You can set the computer to
operate the upgrade at your command (allowing you to activate
one such item each round without taking an action to do so),
or set it to automatically trigger the system under specific
conditions as follows: the first time you take damage, the
first time you take Hit Point damage, when you are stunned,
when you are staggered, when you are unconscious, or when
the atmospheric conditions change. If the trigger occurs, the
computer automatically activates the linked system. This
occurs at the end of your next turn after the condition occurs.
The control module can be linked to weapons or tools that are
part of the armor, subject to the normal limitations of control
modules (Core Rulebook 215).
You can install a higher-tier computer into the computer
interface, as long as it has light or negligible bulk. You must
pay for the additional computer separately, and installing
it requires a successful Computers check with a DC equal to
the DC to hack the new computer. The computer cannot have
countermeasures that require links to the environment beyond
the armor (such as a shock grid) or control modules that control
anything other than armor systems, and it cannot activate more
than one system each round (even if linked to multiple systems
with automatic triggers).
