• If you have just G-experience you suffer penalties on approximately 45% of human settled worlds. (without G-Experience 70%)
• If you have Improved G-Tolerance 0.3G and G-experience you suffer penalties on approximately 25% of human settled worlds. (without G-Experience 55%)
• If you have Improved G-Tolerance 0.5G and G-experience you suffer penalties on <1% of human settled worlds. (without G-Experience 30%)

Fit(5pt)/Very fit(10pt): do not give bonus to HT rolls or recovery, instead any FP loss due to movement is halved/quartered.

Afflictions cost 10 points base for first level and +3 points each additional.

Hardening on armor: Each level divides the armor penetration multiplier by 2. In the end round any partial multiplier to nearest full number.

Innate attack advantage uses following table for cost multiplier based on DR scaling of mundane gear.

DR advantage uses following table based on DR scaling of mundane gear

Use TL 10 scaling for the campaign, thus multiplying any DR advantage provided DR like from psionic powers by *10

Use psionic powers book, but cannot use the techniques. However can increase the power to include any enchantment given by the techniques(+10% enchantment/-1).

Cannot normally learn new power in game, but can increase the levels of existing ones and buy the technique enchantments.

Better gear: leveled advantage, 5 pt/level. Not normally available. Nobles as long service imperials often have contacts allowing them to buy/get issued slightly better than normally available gear. Example, where a normal infantry trooper might be issued a ETC weapon and Heavy Battle suit, someone with even one level might be issued a dreadnaught suit and a blaster..

Service legal immunities are linked to the duty and the highest level goes away when retiring. The lower levels stay as recognition to your previous service.

Legal Immunity(Professional): Some professions allow you limited legal immunity when working. They all require the corresponding professional license.

• Security{4]: (5 pt base, -20% only while working) Allows you to carry one step more dangerous weapons on duty and ignore small laws when needed but proportionality still applies.
• Private investigator{4]: (5 pt base, -20% only while working) Allows you to ignore small laws when needed in investigation, but must act in good faith.

It is occasionally possible to get 8 point versions of the professional legal immunities but they require special circumstances.

• Security: The leaders and possibly shift leaders of larger security organizations. Some bodyguards guarding important people.
• Private investigator: The leaders and possibly shift leaders of larger investigative organizations. Occasionally some long term marshal or ranger turned private investigator might succeed.

Most new advantages require suitable cybernetic implant to get.

Can only have these is a training package gives them

Can use any of these to replace any package disadvantage

These are likely crippling in some form, so not recommended.

Some of these are available in the specific psionic packages
