IMPROVED SLEEVE RULES (AND EVEN MORE SLEEVES!)

This post is an effort to present my collection of combat sleeves in a more concise and uniform way.  These rules assume that you're using Quadra's PC hits rules (https://www.traaa.sh/mothership-house-rules).  I also suggest rolling on the critical hit table of your choice whenever a PC loses a hit with the exceptions noted below. 

THE RULES

HEALING:

Robotic sleeves must be repaired and don't heal (as androids at my own table); chimeras gain advantage on their body saves when resting; other sleeves heal as regular players.  

HITS:

Many combat sleeves add an extra hit. If this hit is marked with an asterisk, losing it does not force a roll on the critical hit table. 

RESLEEVING:

On reseleeve make a SANITY and BODY save.  If either is a critical failure you die.  Otherwise you incur substantial medical expenses equal to 10% of the cost of the sleeve.   Each time you resleeve increase your minimum stress by 1.  This stress is eliminated if you return to your original body or merge with a chimera sleeve.

If you are in an unusual body or a substandard chrome sleeve you must roll sanity each week or month.  On a failure, you panic at an inopportune time. 

If you are implanted in a chimera, you may choose to ignore the results of the panic table but must make a SANITY save and take 2 STRESS.  After the first failed save all subsequent saves are at disadvantage.  After two failed saves, you have merged irreparably with the chimera.  Your next death will be permanent

SLEEVES

HORIZON NEUROGEN

The market-leading manufacturer of chimera sleeves.  Well-deserved reputation for rigorous QA testing and stable host temperaments.  The secret to smooth host-brain integration is Gaunt Worm extract.  Brain is stored in the armored chest cavity in all Horizon sleeves.

WEREWOLF (3mcr):

It doesn't look anything like a werewolf but the host is a social pack predator by nature. Elaphantine skin, hunched posture, massive limbs, and a whiplike tail.  Inexperienced operators wear it like powered armor.  Veterans embrace the host's instincts.

REAPER (1mcr):

Designed for tight spaces and hard vacuum.  Unsettling hypermobile limbs and razor-sharp claws.  Can fit through anything the size of its head.  A roughly human silhouette but elongated.

PRU WEREWOLF (60mcr):

Manufactured especially for corporations with deep pockets for operations that call for contact with the paranormal including the sleeve's namesake: Rhombus' legendary PRU kill teams.  You can't afford it.  Any resemblance to an Alpha Gaunt is purely coincidental (also, why do you know what an Alpha Gaunt is anyway?).
