Release Inhibitors

As a mechanical being, there are artificially-induced restraints on your abilities, holding you back to prevent you from wearing out your parts faster. But when the going gets tough, none of that matters anymore. Once you break past those barriers and disable those restraints, you can fight harder when it matters most. It’s time for you to disable those settings and Release Inhibitors.

Mechanical Perfection. When you first gain access to this Legendary Form, you do not gain both of the listed Legendary Traits. You must select one of two Legendary Traits to gain: Pinnacle of Technology or Support Units (see below).

Additionally, you may select one additional benefit from the list below:

• Increase your Wound Roll by an amount equal to your Strike Bonus gained from Lock On against targets you are currently locked on to. You may select +1 additional target for the Lock On Racial Trait.
• All Signature Techniques used against a target you are currently locked on to have their Damage Category increased by +1.
• Gain the Armored Form Aspect.

Composite Functionality. For this Transformation, increase the Attribute Modifier Bonus of the Attribute whose score was increased by Functional Purpose by +2(T). For example, if you gained the Researcher bonus, this transformation would gain a bonus of +2(T) to Scholarship.

Treat your Tier of Power as if it was +1 higher for the sake of the Functional Purpose Racial Trait.

Core Upgrades. You gain the following benefits depending on the option you chose for the Energy Core Racial Trait:

• Power Battery. When you gain Ki Points by any means, you may exceed your Maximum Ki Point Pool by an amount up to your Capacity Rate. At the end of your turn, any Ki Points above your Maximum Ki Point Pool are lost. While your current Ki Points surpass your Maximum Ki Point Pool, increase all of your Combat Rolls by +1(T).
• Infinite Energy. Once per Combat Round, when you would use a Power Surge Maneuver, you may choose to reduce the amount of Ki Points you gain by -1/4 to make a Basic Attack Maneuver as an Out-of-Sequence Maneuver. If your Ki Points are above 1/2 of your Maximum Ki Point Pool, you may use a Power Up Maneuver instead of a Basic Attack Maneuver.
• Mutant Core. When you destroy an integrated item through Mutant Core, you may increase a Combat Roll of your choice by +1(T) for the remainder of the Combat Encounter. This effect can stack up to +3(T).

Superior Creation. If you have access to the Pinnacle of Technology Legendary Trait, increase your Attribute Modifier Bonus (AG/FO/SP) by +4 for each stack of Super Android you have access to.

Machine Integration. You can combine with your Support Unit(s), creating a hyper-powered form. You can spend up to 3 actions to combine with an equal number of your Support Units that are within your Melee Range. These Support Units are lost forever. For each Support Unit you have combined with, increase your Attribute Modifier Bonuses (AG/FO/SP) of this transformation by +1(T), increase the level of the Durable Form Aspect by +1 and increase the Stress Test Requirement of the transformation by +4 for the duration of this Transformation.

You gain access to all Signature Techniques and Magical Abilities from the Support Unit(s) you have combined with until you leave this Transformation.

Release Inhibitors Mastery. Mastery for Release Inhibitors can be gained up to three times. When you gain Mastery for Release Inhibitors, you gain one of the following bonuses depending on the amount of times you have Mastered it:

• Enhanced Release. If you have Mastered Release Inhibitors one time, choose one additional benefit from Mechanical Perfection. Additionally, treat your Tier of Power as if it was +2 higher for the sake of the Functional Purpose Racial Trait instead of +1 higher through the Composite Functionality Trait.
• Perfected Release. If you have Mastered Release Inhibitors two times, increase the amount you increase your Attribute Modifier Bonus by from the Composite Functionality Trait by +1(T) and you may target +1 additional target with Lock On (this stacks with the benefit gained through Mechanical Perfection).
• Dual Release. If you have Mastered Release Inhibitors three times, you gain access to the other Legendary Trait of this Transformation you did not select through Mechanical Perfection. Additionally, this Transformation gains the Natural Form Aspect.

Legendary Traits

Pinnacle of Technology.  When you use the Living Weapon Trait to use the Reserved Energy Charge Maneuver as an Out of Sequence Action, you do not reduce the Ki Points gained. Additionally, for each stack of Super Android you have access to, you may use the ‘once per Combat Encounter’ effects of Functional Purpose an additional time.

Support Units.  Upon gaining access to this Legendary Trait, you may create a Minion using the Minion Creation rules, known as a Support Unit but their Race must be Android. These Minions have an additional +4(bT) Attribute Points to spend and gain the Wonders of Technology (must be a Construct or a Machine Mutant) Racial Trait in addition to those selected through Minion Creation. If you have 2+ stacks of Super Android, the Support Unit also gains +1 stack of Super Android (their number of Super Android stacks cannot match or exceed yours). Additionally, you can spend a total of 24 hours outside of combat to create another Support Unit. You can have a maximum of 3 Support Units at any one time.
