====== Thermal Generator ======
[{{ crypto_computer.png|Thermal Generator icon}}]

> //Thermal Generator was a joint project between Dr. Xu and his colleague [[:agents:Sharp|Alex McTeague]]. A very early design, it is still comparable to the cutting edge of current augment technology.//

**Thermal Generator** is a unique [[:augment]] belonging to [[:agents:Archive Dr. Xu]], which generates +2\ [[:PWR]] each turn when he uses any [[:item]] or [[:weapon]] with a cooldown of at least 3 turns. The PWR bonus is applied when he uses the item or weapon, at most once per turn.

Thermal Generator's bonus can be triggered when Archive Dr. Xu uses a weapon on [[:attack#ambush]] or [[:attack#overwatch]] during the enemy turn. In this case, the bonus cannot also be triggered on the next player turn.

Thermal Generator does not give a bonus when Archive Dr. Xu uses an item or weapon with a cooldown shorter than 3 turns, or one with no cooldown. If Archive Dr. Xu also has [[Torque Injectors]] installed, then Thermal Generator only gives a bonus when he uses an item or weapon with a nominal cooldown of at least 4 turns.
