Conversation
Flavor reasons, replaced zero upkeep for still cloak with reduced upkeep.
Also reflavored the shield names, and removed the "nanite shield" as a thing that exists. Applied corresponding buffs to the level 10 shield's stats. Changes to the level 10 shield are functional.
Additionally laid the groundwork for Medical Nanites. Introduced new issues: -need item entries for medical nanites (and rules for unit quantity restriction by level, probably as a column in the leveling table), -need to expand rules on feats to include active feats and medical nanites. -need to fill out effects of short and long rests.
New Issue: need limits on the number of batteries a character can carry. Or are they armor hard point items? Prices extremely preliminary
Balance concerns.
Also removed Stealth skill requirement from cloak modules. Outdated after removal of skills@10@lv1.
Nanites -> Energy Cloak Turns stat removed Added Overheat stat: a cloak turns stat based on the equipment instead of the player level. Removed 1 cloak per turn restriciton to lv 1-4, that can be on modules with Overheat stat.

Turtlelord26 #612 nanites to energy
Now does not conflict with Energy resource for shields/cloaks. Scope crept to add a bit more flavor to the munitions not lasting between combats, some sp/grammar fixes.
Scope crept to try and fix Overbuilt, please review this.
Wasn't caught by my find&replace.
…ial"_Resource Turtlelord26 Reflavored Engineer Energy into Potential
Some functional change to adrenaline rush during the conversion. Now only gives either +4 of +8 instead of anything between +1 and +10. Also removed the take-the-feat-twice-to-halve-the-cost, but I could be persuaded to restore that.
No functional changes, only the new costs.
Next feat I'll remember
Bunker only works with nanite space magic, and I am considering it as out-of-aesthetic.

…ite_Removal Turtlelord26 #611 active feat nanite removal
Vestigial with the removal of the nanite bar.
#621 We have definitions, conditions, and benefits! Slight production sin in Long Rest where I refer to "Exhaustion Rules" that don't exist yet. Mea Culpa.
…butes Removed Primary Attributes
Add rules text to Rests!
Moved text from dev into the nanite superbranch in preparation for altering it.
And prose alterations to the other feat categories.
#262 Provisional testing. If it proves too much of a balancing chore re. active feats, this can be reconsidered.
#613 As the procedure, provisional on testing and not being a balance headache.
Now with boundary conditions that double as development knobs.

…ive_Feats_Rules Rules Text for Active Feats, now with Medical Nanites
#619 They now have built-in benefits (minor Shock save bonus added to the already-existing rest healing), and link you to relevant rest and feat rules. Provided explicit pathway to upgrade from the booster to the full unit.
