Requirements for Installing Cybertech

[Sjark]

I'm a little confused as to what is necessary to install cybernetic implants. I have a character who found some cybertech, and wants to install it into a fellow PC. Party is 4th level, and the Craft Cybernetics feat (which requires 9 ranks Heal) says that it allows you to install cybertech as well as create it. However, nothing about needing this feat is mentioned in the Cybertech rules.

So can he attempt to install it without Craft Cybertech, or not?

Seems like he can. The Install DCs are clearly separate from the Craft DCs, and while Crafting clearly (and obviously) requires the feat, installing does not seem to.

That said, you probably need to identify it first, which is a Knowledge (Engineering) check that's sitting in the 20-30 range-- could be tough for a 4th level character. Your GM might let you skip that step, I suppose.

Don't forget that you need a Lab to install Cybernetics
