Cracker

Data Crack

Engineering Rolls you make to gain access to Devices, Systems and Networks are made with a +2 misc. Bonus.

You can use your Action to Roll Engineering Skill Roll to “Crack” the security on a digital Device, System or Network you can access physically or through a network. This act creates 2 Digital Noise. The DC is equal to 10 + the Security Tier of the Device or Network.

When you do so successfully, you gain guest/user login access to that device. This level of access allows you to: Save files, personalize your profile, access any unrestricted programs/applications and activate Subroutines on that device. 

You lose access if the system is shut down or a user with admin access boots you from the network/device.

Devices, Systems and Networks you Data Crack consider you to be a user and allow you to access non-admin level settings, applications and programs.

Subroutines cost you 1 less CODA to Activate when used against a Cracked Target(minimum of 1). 

Program Logic Exploiter

While you are not considered fluent in programming languages, you have a large repertoire of exploits and work-arounds that allow you to excel despite your less rounded programming education.

You have an additional Overpower option for Malware or Spyware Subroutines called 

Contagious: Spend an Additional amount of CODA equal to the original cost of this Subroutine (-1, minimum of 1) to target 1 additional viable Target with the same Subroutine.

Whenever you use your Engineering Skill to access programs and applications and perform hacks and exploits you add a misc. +2.

You can overpower as many times and in as many ways as you can afford to do so.

Tweak Virus

Once every 12 hours you can spend 1 CODA and an hour of your time to tweak your Virus. Roll an Engineering Skill Roll to do so. The DC to succeed is 14.

If you Succeed on the Skill Roll you successfully tweak your virus and may grant it one of these additional effects until you tweak it again. See Table below for reference.

If you Fail the Skill Roll you gain no additional benefit, and cannot attempt again for the next 12 hours.

XP Cost: 5 Prerequisites: Cracker

You can use an Action to attempt to steal 1 CODA from any Digital Device(Computer Terminal, Kiosk, Smartphone, Smartwatch, etc.) with which you can directly interface / interact. You must have User Access at least to make an attempt. Once you steal CODA from a device, you cannot steal any more CODA for 4 hours.

To do so: Roll an Engineering Skill Roll. The DC starts at 12 and increases by 2 per level of security on the device above inferior. If you succeed, you immediately regain 1 CODA.

See table below for security DCs.
