When taking a Modification Subfeat, the player must decide 'how'' the character received the modification; while this is partially fluff in nature, it also defines what the Modification's disadvantage is. Characters cannot choose the "Robotic Enhancement" origin for this purpose unless they have a racial or class ability that explicitly allows for it. | When taking a Modification Subfeat, the player must decide 'how'' the character received the modification; while this is partially fluff in nature, it also defines what the Modification's disadvantage is.

| + | * ''Cybernetic'' - The weapon has been added to your arm mechanically, tying it to your nervous system. Sunder attempts against the item deal nonlethal damage to you, equal to how much a direct hit would have dealt in damage. | ||
* ''Robotic Enhancement'' - The weapon is integrated into your robotic arm almost perfectly - there will be at least some visible mechanics (such as hinged doors for the weapon to pop out of), but the use is otherwise unpenalized. | * ''Robotic Enhancement'' - The weapon is integrated into your robotic arm almost perfectly - there will be at least some visible mechanics (such as hinged doors for the weapon to pop out of), but the use is otherwise unpenalized. | ||
