What are the "normal limitations" of control modules?


Rules Questions


I was just reading the info for the "computer interface" armour upgrade, and I noticed that it specifies that a computer interface can hooked up to weapons and tools which are part of the armour, "subject to the normal limitations of control modules." Please send help! I have been looking for these "limitations" and cannot find any that would interact with tools or weapons at all. Am I missing something?

The AoN entry for computer interface omits the Core Rulebook reference (page 215) for command modules that appears in the original text printed in the Armory. See this page on AoN about control modules.

Thank you so much! this is exactly what I needed.

That tells me I could make a grenade launcher build and use the computer to fire off grenades for free the first time I take damage each round.
It may only have an attack bonus of like +2/+3 but that's enough to hit an ac of 5 most of the time.


The DC would be atrocious, no Dex bonus.

That's why it would have to be grenades, because if it aimed for an intersection then I seem to remember the ac is only 5.


But the DC to resist the grenade effect includes Dex bonus.
