Some augmentations may require pre-requistes to use correctly. Augments may be selected multiple times, which is beneficial for augments with limited daily supplies. The saving throw for any robotic augment is 10 + 1/2 HD + your highest mental ability score modifier, and scale off character level.

Dragonfire Cannon (Su): You can make a 30 ft cone of explosive energy (acid, cold, electricity, or fire, chosen each time you use the ability), dealing 1d6 points per level of the appropriate energy damage with a Reflex save for half.

Vector Cannon (Su): This powerful attack is difficult to set up as the attack is very obvious and slow. You plant yourself into the ground and charge up (-20 to Hide and Move Silently checks). The duration you spend charging determines the power of the subsequent attack. After 1 round, you fire a 100 ft line that deals 2d6 points of force damage per level, with a Reflex save for half.
