Combat Skills

Combatants that do not utilize tech or biotics will naturally tend towards weapon use, however that is not all. Most soldiers and mercenaries with enough capitol will have access to physical (and sometimes mental) augmentations, through gene therapy and synthetic implants. Strength and toughness treatments are the most common, with reflex and zero-g adaptability enhancements nearly as such. Some soldiers can briefly tap a sort of adrenaline rush, allowing them to make controlled bursts of strength and speed without burning out their adrenal glands and subjecting themselves to the usual exhaustion afterwords (at least not as fast). As weapon experts, soldiers are also able to mod their weapons with different "ammo" types. They can mod their weapons to fire rounds with special effects imbued on them, or make other modifications, given the right parts. They are also able to train in a wider variety of weapons.
