Is there any particular item or equipment that gives a player Unnatural Toughness? On anther not i was reading about the Helot minning device and it basically said that the strengthen your muscles and bones so that you can carry the Helot Minning device. So on that point would it be possible to go through the helot mining device surgery to increase my muscle and bones but never actually attack the Helot Mining device? I think so. Anyone else got any idea's my GM is a total marine fanatic meaning nothing can ever become as strong as a Marine even a grunt marine. So i want to show him that Tech priests can. I do know about the Advanced Tech priest route in the Inquistor book any help would be awsome
Unnatural Toughness

No, there is not. However, your techpriest can get Unnatural Toughness x2 in the final ranks of Ascension, buying it with XP points. And I suppose that involves some serious cybernetic implants and modifications (items and equipment that are not named), modifying his/her physical dimensions and weight.

I see no reason why not, AS LONG AS the character gains the Insanity Points that installing the Helot Mining Thingy entails, AND his/her muscular system is forever more unnaturally distorted to one side, left or right, ending in a stub where the mining drill would normally begin. And that distorted musculature can be seen through his/her robes by anyone with even one good eye.

Get the Rogue Trader Core Rulebook. In the Cybernetics section, there is an upgrade that grants Unnatural Strength x2 (with certain minuses, please note). Since the developers have stated that Dark Heresy and Rogue Trader are meant to be totally interchangeable, that Cybernetic Upgrade is available for Dark Heresy characters too. Your GM just needs to come up with a price in Thrones for that item for you to buy it with your monthly salary, or wait until Ascension level to buy it with an Influence roll.

An observer will certainly be able to see that through the robe. Of course, he'd also be able to see the potentia coil. And the cyber mantle port for the 'dendrites. And the external parts of your life support system.
Bottom line: For the average and not very tech-savy observer, all these things will blur together as "Um... yeah. He's a techpriest. You know... lots of metal bitz sticking out of him."
