	29	+= 1 - Overview =
	30	+
	31	+The PC represents the central gameplay entity. Its functionality is determined via three interconnected systems:

	34	+(% class="active" %)|=System|=(((

	38	+|Weapon Systems|Defines offensive capabilities and baseline combat values. Provides base combat metrics.
	39	+|Equipment System|Manages auxiliary items, and inventory parameters. Provides passive modifiers and capacity management.

	43	+= 2 - The Exoskeleton System =
	44	+
	45	+== 2.1 - General Description ==
	46	+
	47	+The Exoskeleton system is a **permanent augmentation layer** integrated to the PC. It consists of multiple **Modules**, each responsible for a distinct gameplay domain. Modules cannot be replaced or unequipped. Each Module can be upgraded to enhance its attributes within predefined progression limits.

	61	+)))
	62	+
	63	+== 2.3 - Module Upgrade Logic ==
	64	+
	65	+Module upgrades follow the rules delow:
	66	+
	67	+* Each Module has an **Upgrade Tier**
	68	+* Upgrades improve Module attributes (e.g. speed, power output, resistance)
	69	+* Upgrades require resources and access to dedicated upgrade facilities
	70	+* Module upgrades do not alter module identity or type
	71	+* Core Module tier determines the maximum allowed tier for all other modules

	90	+=== 3.1.2 - Limb States ===
	91	+
	92	+The following enumeration defines the collection of states a limb can be in:

	95	+(% class="active" %)|=State|=Description
	96	+|Healthy|Limb operates normally
	97	+|Damaged|Limb has reduced effectiveness (e.g. slower movement speed, weaker attacks)
	98	+|Disabled|Subsystem inoperable (e.g. a broken leg will disable sprinting). Also applies the Damaged state's effects
	99	+
	100	+=== 3.1.3 - Limb Struct{{id name="LimbStruct"/}} ===
	101	+
	102	+The following struct's data is used to define the health and state of an individual limb:

	110	+
	111	+= 4 - Weapon System Integration =
	112	+
	113	+The Weapon system defines the baseline combat parameters, such as damage, attack wind-up, penetration, and more. The Exoskeleton system applies **scaling modifiers** to those parameters according to the respective Module's level.

	122	+= 5 - The Equipment System =
	123	+
	124	+== 5.1 - Amulet Slots ==
	125	+
	126	+The PC can install **Amulets**, which provide passive or active effects. The carrying capacity of Amulets depends on the Core Module's level.
	127	+
	128	+== 5.2 - Inventory Structure ==
	129	+
	130	+The PC's Inventory has a rectangular shape made up of individual square cells. Inventory capacity is defined via two parameters:
	131	+
	132	+(% class="table-bordered" %)
	133	+(% class="active" %)|=Parameter|=Purpose
	134	+|Item Size|Defines the size of the item (e.g. 2x2, 3x6 etc.)
	135	+|Item Weight|Contributes to the current load the player is carrying, and affects [[Stamina efficiency>>doc:||anchor="WeightImpact"]]
	136	+
	137	+To be able to acquire an item the following conditions **must** be met:
	138	+
	139	+* The weight of the item, added to the current total weight within the PC's inventory, must not exceed the MaximumLoad
	140	+* The new item must fit inside the inventory without overlapping with other items
	141	+
	142	+== 5.3 - Weight Impact{{id name="WeightImpact"/}} ==
	143	+
	144	+The following table shows the relation between the current percentage of weight within the PC's inventory, to its impact on mobility:
	145	+
	146	+(% class="table-bordered" %)
	147	+(% class="active" %)|=Load|=Impact
	148	+|Light Load|Full movement speed, full stamina regeneration
	149	+|Medium Load|Movement speed and stamina regeneration are reduced by 10%
	150	+|Heavy Load|Movement speed and stamina regeneration are reduced by 30%
	151	+|Overloaded|Movement is restricted. Sprinting and Jumping are disabled
	152	+
	153	+----
	154	+
	155	+= 6 - Progression Framework =
	156	+
	157	+* PC progression is tied to Exoskeleton Module Upgrades and Weapons
	158	+* Resources are allocated to Modules rather than attributes directly
	159	+* Upgrading the Core Module increases the overall capacity for Amulets and the maximum possible value of other Modules
	160	+* Module upgrades unlock passive bonuses (e.g. reduced stamina use, faster repair rate, etc.)
