| The Shadowjack is literally a wizard at getting computers to perform beyond their usual parameters. He knows the Internet the way taxi drivers know the streets of the city, and reads and writes code as naturally as a cat meows. No password protection, encryption, or guard dog programs ever seem to be enough to hinder him—the Shadowjack comes and goes like the wind. Shadowjacks have a unique perspective when it comes to quaint notions like privacy and personal property. It goes something like this: “If you didn’t want me to access it, then you wouldn’t have made it so easy to get to.” | The Shadowjack is literally a wizard at getting computers to perform beyond their usual parameters.

| **False Trail:** When covering his electronically tracks through the Grid, the Shadowjack can lay in a false trail. With a successful DC 25 Computer Use check, the Shadowjack imposes a –5 penalty on any attempt to trace him (as described in the Defend Security function of the [[Computer Use (Skill)|Computer Use]] skill). If the trace fails by 10 or more points, the tracker follows the Shadowjack’s false trail to an innocent Grid location. If the trace fails by less than 10 points, the tracker realizes the trail is bogus and gives up. | **False Trail:** When covering his electronically tracks through the Grid, the Shadowjack can lay in a false trail.

| **Install Backdoor:** After successfully breaking into a specific computer system, the Shadowjack can install a “backdoor” to the system. A backdoor is a piece of code that makes it easier for the Shadowjack to break into that particular system in the future. Writing and installing the program requires a Computer Use check (see chart below), but once successfully installed it automatically defeats that systems’ security upon return trips—the Shadowjack no longer needs to make Computer Use checks to enter that system. | **Install Backdoor:** After successfully breaking into a specific computer system, the Shadowjack can install a “backdoor” to the system.

| It is important to keep backdoors hidden from the system administrator, who will always be on the lookout for such invasions. A backdoor automatically allows the Shadowjack entrance to a particular system, but every time he uses it he must make an opposed Computer Use check against the administrator. Failure means the backdoor is discovered and will be deleted before the next time the Shadowjack returns. | It is important to keep backdoors hidden from the system administrator, who will always be on the lookout for such invasions.

| **Improved Degradation:** The Shadowjack’s attempts to alter and degrade existing programming get more insidious. The degradation is installed as normal (as described in the Degrade Programming function of the [[Computer Use (Skill)|Computer Use]] skill). However, unless the Computer Use check to fix the degraded program exceeds the DC by 5, the degradation returns within 6 hours—this happens automatically, the Shadowjack does not have to make a second check. | **Improved Degradation:** The Shadowjack’s attempts to alter and degrade existing programming get more insidious.

| A 10th-level Shadowjack can perform complicated tasks without provoking attacks of opportunity from adjacent foes. During any round in which the Shadowjack uses the Computer Use, Craft, Disable Device, or Repair skill, he can first make a Concentration check (DC 15) to use the desired skill without provoking at-tacks of opportunity. Making the Concentration check doesn't cost the Shadowjack an action. He may take 10 on the Concentration check, but he cannot take 20. | A 10th-level Shadowjack can perform complicated tasks without provoking attacks of opportunity from adjacent foes.
