EQUIPMENT MOUNT

External mounts are often used to permanently mount standard equipment to your arm(s), feet, hand(s), leg(s), or spine.  The body slot is determined by how you would normally use the equipment.  A weapon would be installed on the arm near a hand, jump boots installed to the feet, a jetpack installed to the spine, etc.  Equipment mounts grant the following bonus for mounted equipment; +1 circumstance bonus to attack rolls, +1 circumstance bonus to AC, or +2 circumstance bonus to any skill check related to mounted equipment.  You gain a +4 bonus to your KAC verses disarm attempts with mounted equipment. A robot can have more than one equipment mount but it is limited to one mount per body system.

Internal equipment mounts operate like a hideaway system with the circumstance advantages of an external mount when the equipment is brought to bear.  Detecting an internal mount requires a DC 20 Perception skill check to search.  The internal mount is limited to 1 Bulk item in any limb or a 2 Bulk item in the torso.

Installing equipment to a mount takes 10 minutes per item level of the equipment but still requires someone with the Engineering skill to complete the installation.

The purchase price does not include the equipment to be mounted.
