Enhanced Prosthetic (Claws)
Sarna News
Overview
A common improvement to field agents with prosthetic limbs, Claws were special climbing enhancements which allowed an agent to ascended any non-smooth surface (wood, unworked stone, etc.). These small retractable claws could also be used in melee combat to devastating effect, especially if the agent was trained in a martial arts style which took advantage of them. These claws worked best when installed in all four limbs, otherwise climbing gear was necessary to offset any absent components.[1]
As with other prosthetic enhancements these were employed only by the intelligence agencies of the Inner Sphere with agents who already had a Type 3 or superior prosthetic limb. The Clans were too philosophically opposed and the Periphery too poor to make use of them beyond rare cases.[2] Among the Manei Domini this upgrade was available to all agents with the necessary prosthetic limb.[3]
