Background

Allissa P Hacker and Ben Bitdiddle...You might have heard of them. They may...or may not exist. We're not sure.

We do know the students at NMIT refer to them constantly, especially in Computer Science classes. But we've never seen them. I think it's because we're looking for a pair of hackers. It may be one person who likes to give us the slip. Or maybe they switch off so one of them can escape if the heat is on.

Personally, I think they (or maybe one of them?) has joined the Electronic Freedom Fighters. By day they pose for Computer Science questions and by night they ruin our hunts, shut down our sniff servers, and leak our invasion e-mails across the 'net. I don't like it, not one bit. I mean they could be listening to this conversation right now and suppose Ben decides to use BubbleSort. What sort algorithm should Allissa tell him to use instead?

Heightened Senses: Roll under a 9 or 10 to detect if you see someone automated by a bot.

Heightened Awareness: You gain a +2 bonus to detect ambushes or hidden objects.

Invisibility: By reducing your danger heuristics and terminating search nodes, you can become undetectable by sight. You can use it for as long as you want, but when you finally shut it off, you need to wait before you can use it again. For every minute you went invisible you must wait for a minute before you can use it again.

Special Movement, Untrackable: Also, you leave no tracks when you move.

Computer Scanning: You can read all of the information from a computer within 10 cm of you. You have to touch the computer to scan it, but you'll read it at an incredibly fast rate.

Combat Technique:

  • Judge Opponent: At a glance, you can tell how tough someone is to take down. You can guess its special abilities and probably think up a good course of action. (In reality, the GM will tell give you some detail on the enemy's moves and durability.)
  • Weapon Encyclopedia: You've seen pretty much every attack on the 'net, and you can almost instantly identify them. You also get a +4 Bonus on Street Sense checks to buy any legal or illegal weapons off the street.
  • Lightning Reflexes: You gain a +10 to your initiative bonus.

Combination Attack: You and up to 4 other people (likely the other EFF members) coordinate your special attacks to make one powerful strike. This attack is made by the person with the lowest attack bonus and it is performed on the lowest person's initiative. If it hits, the target makes a defense roll at a -1 penalty per person. If the target fails to defend, they take double damage from all attacks. You have to pay 2 Energy Points per person involved in the Combination Attack (usually 10.)

Claw Damage

Dice Roll 2-3 4-6 7-10 11-12
Claw 40+5 30+5 20+5 10+5

Roll under a 10 to hit. If it hits, roll again to deal damage according to the table.
