Cyborg

Some men see their lives, their abilites, and even their bodies, and are not satisfied. An Artificer who specailizes as a Cyborg uses the knowledge they've gained to go beyond their maximum potential through technological modifications and enhancemnts on themselves. On occaisons to a disturbing level to most others.

A Cyborg's motivation to change themselves can come from many places. Some do it out of neccesity from a wound or disease they've been given. Others do it for simple research or ammusement. And some do it to go beyond the limits that mortal life present's them, so that they may see the end to it all.

These few Artificers that are Genius enough and possibly insane enough to become a cyborg, have typically been rebuked by most others for their outlandish experiments. Some even consider it sacrelige almost as if they are trying to become a God or say no to death's doors.

By the time you’ve reached the 15th level, most of your humanoid body parts have been replaced by technology and cybernetics. 

• You have advantage on saving throws against being poisoned, and you have resistance to poison damage.
• You don’t need to eat, drink, or breathe.
• You are immune to disease.
• You don't need to sleep, and magic can't put you to sleep.
• When you take a long rest, you must spend at least six hours in an inactive, motionless state, rather than sleeping. In this state, you appear inert, but it doesn’t render you unconscious, and you can see and hear as normal.

Additionally, you also gain new abilities to account for your cybernetic enhancements. When you use your Increased Cybernetics feature to gain a feature from your Cybernetic enhancements, you may instead gain the upgraded version from the Customized Robotics feature. For example, if you used your Increased Cybernetics feature to gain Enhanced Limbs, it would now upgrade to Enhanced Limbs+.
