Enhancement is a Background you can read more about in the M20 core. Purchasing Enhancement has no prerequisites, but is generally limited to tech-based characters (Etherites, Virtual Adepts, cyberpagans, etc).

In Character Generation

Enhancement is a standard Background bought with Background dots, Freebies, and Starting XP, but it costs double. That means 2 Background Points will yield 1 dot, 2 Freebies yield 1 dot, and the XP cost is 6 per level, not 3.

When you create a character and pick an Enhancement score, you will be asked to set a note called "enhancement" on your character. In this note, please disclose the nature of your Enhancements. As stated on page 312 of M20 Core, the Storyteller may assign additional Flaws to pair with the Enhancement (you will be able to discuss them with the Storyteller).

After Character Generation

• Staff Run Scenes: Put in a +request describing your goal! Tell us what your goal is and how your character is going to get started in pulling it off. The storyteller will coordinate with you. Once you achieve your goal, you request staff to update your sheet.
• PRPs: Have someone else run a PRP for you. The PRP runner needs to submit a request to have it approved but once it's approved they may run it. Once your goal is achieved, you and the PRP runner tell staff about it so we can review it, and then we will update your sheet.

When acquiring a stat through role play, you must still pay with XP.

Don't forget about Karma! Whether you are getting something through PRP or Staff run scenes, when you pay 10 Karma you can buy a story beat that puts your character into a favorable position that makes whatever your goal is easier. A storyteller will hook you up with a story beat. Your success is not guaranteed, but you will have the wheels nice and greasy.
