Computer Genius

Cost: 2 Character Points / Level

Computer Genius represents a character’s skill at building, modifying, operating and repairing computers, sensors, and electronic equipment. The increased speed at which computer tasks can be done applies to long-term tasks (such a programming a droid or writing a piece of code). Short-term tasks take the form of extra rolls, equal to the time multiplier (ie- a character is slicing a secured terminal and must crack the password before an alarm is triggered. They are normally allowed to make one Mind + Computer roll per turn to slice the code, but a character with 3 levels of Computer Genius may make four rolls per turn!).
