<P><B>Augmentations in PDX Forum City
<P>
<P>Naturally, augs in Forum City have nothing to do with biology. Like everything else on ForumPlanet, they are simply a visual representation of some element of a cyber reality.
<P>
<P>In the case of augmentations, it should probably be emphasized that all the various parts of ForumPlanet have some sort of means to upgrade your account. Otherwise, what would be the point of veteran status? The general approach is to use elements from the game associated with each city.
<P>
<P>Thus, PlanetQuake has "powerups", PlanetWarcraft has "resources", PlanetNeverwinter has "skills" and "feats", and PlanetDeusEx has skills and augs. If a PDX Forum City citizen were to travel to PlanetQuake or PlanetUnreal, he might be shocked to realize that his precious augs had been converted to powerups. Of course they would turn back into augmentations upon his return to PDX.
