-====== Gridrunner (Advanced Class) ======
-Created Friday 26 July 2013  d20 cysc 58
-A Gridrunner might not amount to much in the real world, but in the virtual world, he rules supreme. He spends an enormous chunk of his time meandering the ever-expanding universe of virtual reality nodes known as the [[Grid]], searching for secrets, thrills, bragging rights, and dirty laundry.  The Gridrunner belongs to an elite community of hackers and self-styled digital emperors—rulers in invisible fortresses who bend the rules of the Grid to suit their whims. A Gridrunner might spend more time in the virtual world than in the real world, emerging mainly to eat or sleep.  He devotes more attention to his daring, intrepid avatar than real friends or family—and why not? His avatar is everything he wants to be, anything he wants to be—a criminal, a movie star, a commando, a goth dominatrix, a teddy bear, a ninja, a cartoon character, or all of the above.  Through this avatar, the Gridrunner can reach the unreachable, attain the unattainable, dominate the indomitable, and leave his digital mark the world over.  The Gridrunner advanced class is useful in campaigns where the Grid is used not only as a tool for gathering information but also as a means of interacting with the world.
-Select this class if you want to visit strange new realms in the blink of an eye, defeat the digital machinations of countless unseen rivals, and carry a really big gun.
-The fastest path into this advanced class is from the Smart hero basic class, though other paths are possible.

-=== Class Features ===
-The following features pertain to the Gridrunner advanced class.
-== Master Noderunner ==
-A Gridrunner can perform amazing feats of programming legerdemain or accomplish tasks in the virtual world that other Grid users cannot.
-At 1st level, and again at 4th, 7th, and 10th level, a Gridrunner gains a special ability, chosen from the list below.
-**Backdoor:** A Gridrunner with this ability knows how to slip into restricted areas that his avatars have visited before.  He gains a +10 competence bonus on Computer Use checks made to enter a private node (or a private room within a node) he has previously entered or unlock a portal he has previously opened.
-**Codecrack:** A Gridrunner with this ability gains a +5 competence bonus on Computer Use checks made to decrypt and read encrypted data.
-**Compression:** A Gridrunner with this ability knows how to program more efficiently, allowing his avatars to carry more programs in their available memory. By increasing thewrite DC of a program by 5, the Gridrunner can reduce the memory cost of that program by 1 (to a minimum of 1).
-**Memory Management:** This special ability allows a Gridrunner to delete any number of programs from his avatars’ available memory as a free action (instead of a move action).
-**Node Management:** A Gridrunner knows how to monitor his own nodes (including his point-of-origin node) more closely than most users. Any node that the Gridrunner creates has its detection range reduced by 2.
-**Wallhack:** A Gridrunner can break the rules to move more easily through a node. With a successful DC 30 Computer Use check, he can dissipate a section of wall (or similarly impassable barrier) within a node. The wall section or barrier can be up to 10 feet high, 10 feet wide, and 5 feet thick.
-== Node Star ==
-A Gridrunner’s reputation quickly begins to spread throughout the Grid. Once per day, he can add his Reputation bonus on any single Computer Use check, even after the roll is made.
-== Mighty Avatar ==
-At 2nd level, a Gridrunner learns to maximize the damage potential of his avatars, ensuring that their melee and ranged attacks are more forceful and destructive than those of lesser Grid avatars.
-Any melee or ranged weapon program installed into a Gridrunner’s avatar deals an extra 1d6 points of damage. This extra damage increases to 2d6 at 5th level and 3d6 at 8th level.
-== 8th-Grade Avatar ==
-At 3rd level, a Gridrunner learns how to make his avatars tougher than normal Grid avatars. The Gridrunner’s avatars use a d8 instead of a d6 for Hit Dice. In addition, the massive damage threshold of his avatars increases by 3.
-== 10th-Grade Avatar ==
-At 6th level, a Gridrunner’s avatars become even tougher.  The Gridrunner’s avatars use a d10 instead of a d8 for Hit Dice. In addition, the massive damage threshold of his avatars increases by 3.
-== 12th-Grade Avatar ==
-At 9th level, a Gridrunner’s avatars become as tough as possible. His avatars use a d12 instead of a d10 for Hit Dice.  In addition, the massive damage threshold of his avatars increases by 3.
