bricks42: There's room for other sensory organs, like ears. Torsos (frames? chassis?) and heads should probably be body parts; perhaps heads could include non-vision sensory abilities, and torsos would grant mostly passive bonuses.
lukep: My current idea for arms (mainhand and offhand) is that they would be two completely separate part categories as opposed to each item being either interchangeable or acting as a pair of arms. For mainhands I would split categorization two ways, melee vs ranged and (one handed) vs (requiring a "support" style offhand). For offhands I would have secondary attack, defence, utility (?), and support as the four types. Examples of secondary attack offhands would be derringers and daggers, defence would be shields, utility would be a smoke bomb, and support would be gyrostabilized.
- bricks: That sounds good, and it's easier to design. I can see many parts being geared towards a hybrid of two or more categories (a ranged weapon that can be used as a melee weapon, an off-hand arm that provides both utility and support, etc.). I'm thinking around five talents for main-hand, three for off-hand, and one to two for other parts, when fully upgraded.
bricks: Since legs and torsos are so closely related in functions and bonuses, I'm thinking they should be combined. That brings things to four body parts, which is awfully meager... However, if the emphasis is on tactics, this isn't really a problem.
bricks: Just some ideas I wanted to get down. Please expand!

- Decaying
- Fungal
- Autotrophic (AKA photosynthetic or any life that creates its own energy)
- Rooting
- Consumption of items for xp/buffs/cumulative ressource.
- Hook/Grappling items that pull player to target or target to player depending on who's tougher.
- Optic devices to enhance vision/prevent blindness/fire eye lasers.
- Time displacement ammo of various quality. Slows/Hastes/Stops/Transports the enemy a few turns into the future.
- Nano armor, uses secondary ressource as a partial shield.
- Pressurized gas weapon. Beam-type targeting with status effect infliction.
