Augments are nerfed.
Augmentations rely on nerves to send and receive input, so you can't have a third limb, due to the impossible requirements: the brain can only use nerve connections it's wired to use, so it would need modification of the brain. Right now, no species completely understand the brain (not even humans), so having nerve-controlled weapons is considered fantasy. However, you can make a part instead be controlled by already--used nerves, like a hidden blade activated by flicking the wrist. Hell, you don't even need an augment to do this, you could just have a hidden blade connected right to a normal arm, because why not.
wait a minute.... does that include the removal of neural jacks? or will they work differently..
They still work, it's just that mind-to-machine is limited by the number of unique nerves you have. As a result, neural jacks no longer support transformation AR.
Most jacks have extensions to optical nerves, if you're wondering. Slightly invasive, totally works.
This also means mechs that use jacks have to be humanoid instead of something sensible.
