Biohackers, Theorems and Inhibitors


Rules Questions


So they get the basic Inhibitors as standard and a minor inhibitor. Through a Field of study, they get an inhibitor.

So what exactly does a Theorem which modifies "Inhibitors" work on? Is it just the one from their field of study?

For example, Hampering Inhibitor.
Any biohack inhibitor you successfully use against a foe decreases that foe’s speed by 50%, to a minimum of 5 feet, in addition to the normal inhibitor effect you choose. If the target has multiple movement types, all its speeds are decreased.

I read that as any of the three inhibitors, but my Biohacker player is a bit cautious about taking any of these styles of Theorems if they only effect the Field of Study inhibitor, since it is the only one named "Inhibitor" and not got some tag attacked.

I know I can simply house rule it, but I would rather have a definitive answer for my players' sake.


It's all the inhibitors. You can infinitely spam the -1 to attack minor inhibitor and tack on one of the very good theorem debuffs on top of it. You can also use the mostly useless minor booster to deliver theorem booster buffs the same way.


All of them. I can't trace an argument to another answer.

Biohacks come in two varieties: boosters and inhibitors. At 1st level, you know the basic boosters and inhibitors listed below, the minor boosters and inhibitors that follow, and the unique booster and inhibitor granted by your primary field of study

Any inhibitor means any inhibitor


Cheers, my player will be pleased
