Steampunk cybernetics.

[Mordinvan]

In a campaign we're presently in we have acquired some steam technology based cybernetic enhancements. I'm curious if anyone here as a suggestion at which point these "equipment bonuses" to our stats might be considered permanent in nature? Would it be after the normal 24 hour period? Some time after that? or never?

24 hours is consistant with the Core Rules as being the point at which items that grant indefinite ability score increases (like belts and headbands) are considered 'permanent' per the rules.

It probably won't come up, but watch INT increases. In the Core Rules, items that give permanent INT increases grant fixed skill ranks and not skill points (unless the increase is from a Tome or a wish spell, in which case they do grant skill points and they're retroactive).
