Rule Break

While raging, Burn does not enter your Burn Buffer. It accumulates as a Rage Stack (0-6). Each stack point adds +1 force damage per weapon attack. At 6: Yoke Slip triggers.

Rage feeds the rig. The rig feeds the rage. While raging, Burn routes to the Rage Stack — adding +1 force damage per weapon attack per point. At 6, Yoke Slip triggers.

You don't pilot the Yoke. The Yoke pilots you. A harness across the chest and shoulders, vented with bone-pipe, locked at the spine. After the Long Night, the Yokes that survived were carried by warbands who didn't trust anyone else to wear one. Empire OSUM rates Yoke Rigs as Class IV unstable.
