Lemon

“Occasionally” a Problem:

Once per session, the GM can call for an Automail’s Lemon trait to activate. The effect occurs immediately, and in some cases lasts a few turns or minutes in game. The same Lemon trait can not be called upon more than once per session, but if a piece of Automail has two Lemon traits, each can be activated once per session. This should help make Lemon both a negative effect and add some spice to both combat or role playing situations.

Fixing Lemon Traits:

Lemon Traits are repaired in the same method that Second Level damage is repaired.
