Armstech

Armstech is a skill that allows for the creation, modification, and enhancement of technological weapons.

Those with the Armstech skill can craft the following kinds of items:

For anyone:
- Weapon Customizations
- Weapon Upgrades
For creator only:
- Advanced-Tech Weapons
- Hybrid Weapons

Weapon Customizations

Any weapon that can be crafted by Armstech can also be customized. Customization modifies the weapon to suit a particular style. It does not interfere with Weapon Upgrades or consume upgrade slots; it is entirely separate.

Redoubt, alacrity, etc .

Weapon Upgrades

All weapons have one upgrade slot, by default. They can be modified to gain more slots. See Upgrades for more information. (Tech Level 2+ weapons have more slots.)

Any upgrade can be applied to any weapon. However, if the weapon's tech level is less than the upgrade's tech level, the upgrade slot cost is increased by the difference.

Tech Level 0

These upgrades take up 0 slots.
