How about a new feat?


Character Operations Manual Playtest General Discussion


Gaining a medical doctor degree is hard work, and a medical student have to put up with a lot. How about a feat to represent getting the degree? Or even better, maybe the training a biohacker receives represents the work he has to do to gain a medical doctor degree.

Although Biohackers could be nurses, paramedics, or any number of medical scientists.

That's part of the reason you don't want to tie a mechanic to an in game institution THAT heavily. Someone's character concept could be a doctor or a paramedic or a traditional herbalist from a backwoods planet with a blow gun and you don't want to hedge them out.

It sort of feels like it should be accounted for in the Scholar theme somehow.


Or a new doctor or physician theme


Not an Engineer

You're a professional, and make that fact very clear to those who expect you to diverge from your field of expertise.

Benefit: When given an order to perform a task not related to your field of expertise, including magical compulsion, you can spend a Resolve Point to attempt an Intimidate check (DC = 15 + 1-1/2 x the level of the order's source) to refuse to obey it.

Isn't that what skill focus for?

My Biohacker is going to be a skeezy novelty drug cook. Dr. T. Ratt, unlicensed ysoki pharmacologist.

Shouldn't that be Dr. J. Ratt? After all, he's the one that makes the party feel alright. ;)
