====== Implant Hack (Advanced Class) ======
Created Friday 26 July 2013

An Implant Hack is a cyborg who specializes in putting together (and taking apart) other cyborgs. Most Implant Hacks are illegal cyber-surgeons, using their own implants to aid them in black market surgeries under less than ideal circumstances. Many are walking surgery rooms, able to perform cybernetics surgery in a back alley with little or no assis-tance. When crooks, freelance enforcers, un-dercover agents, and secretive heroes need someone to help with any cybernetic medical problem, it's an Implant Hack they seek out.
Of course, what they can put in, Im-plant Hacks can also take out. Some become buzzards-bootleggers who strip expensive cybernetic devices or even valuable organs from downed foes to sell on the black market. These scavengers are the worst perversion of the medical occupation, causing pain and maiming their victims to make a quick buck. They're also frighteningly common, making any black market surgery .for cybernetics ex-tremely risky.
The fastest path into this advanced class is from the Dedicated hero basic class, though other paths are possible.

At 5th and 10th level, an Implant Hack gains the ability to perform delicate procedures oth-er than surgery much more quickly than nor-mal. At each of these levels an Implant Hack chooses one skill from the following list:
Computer Use, Craft (electronic), Craft (mechanical), Disable Device, or Repair. The Implant Hack must have a tool kit appropriate to the skill installed as an external or internal tool mount.
The Implant Hack is then able to per-form the functions of the skill in half the nor-mal time by taking a -5 penalty on his skill check. On a failed check, the item being worked on is ruined (if being built or re-paired), or set off (if an alarm, trap, or sensor). In any case, the skill check is failed, and the Implant Hack cannot attempt it again without taking the normal amount of time to do so.
Forced Anesthesia
It's often in an Implant Hack's best interests to take a target alive rather than kill a potential source of live organs.
Beginning at 7th level, an Implant Hack can choose to deal nonlethal damage with a weapon that normally deals lethal damage without taking the normal -4 penalty on his attack roll.
Medical Mastery
By 8th level, an Implant Hack has mastered the art of surgery under distracting condi-tions. He can always take 10 on a Treat Injury check, even if stress and distractions would normally prevent him from doing so.
