Technology Powers

Interface

Tier: Novice (upgradeable to Seasoned)
Type: Active
Range: Touch
Duration: Skill modifier in hours

You can access networks (and devices with networking capabilities) directly with your mind. You do not have any special ability to bypass security measures, beyond your own skill. Once in, however, you can access the full capabilities of the system – making phone calls, sending and receiving email and text messages, running programs, and so forth. You are able to access networks of sundry types (wired, wireless, satellite, radio, etc.) and frequencies, and can attempt to eavesdrop on transmissions.

You do not need to be able to see the device you are accessing, and barriers do not prevent you from doing so. For example, you could access a computer in a closed room to which you cannot gain entry, or a cable buried in the ground, as long as it is within range.

Possible Enhancements: Concealed, Delayed, Triggered, Audio Spectrum (can detect infra/ultra sound), Fearless, Filtering, Focused, Ghost in the Machine, Polarized, Tireless, Unemotional, Visual Spectrum (you perceive the full electromagnetic spectrum, from radio waves and microwaves to gamma rays), Warning, Passive (Seasoned or above)

Possible Flaws: Infectable (you are susceptible to computer viruses); Tunnel Vision (while active, you are blind to everything except accessible devices and data transmissions; i.e., while jacked in, your consciousness is in the Matrix)

Note: Taking the Passive Enhancement upgrades this Power to Seasoned.

Signal Jammer

Tier: Novice (upgradeable to Seasoned)
Type: Active
Duration: Skill modifier in hours

You are a communications black hole. Attempts to communicate with you (and attempts by you to communicate) through technological or supernatural means are ineffective. This includes mundane technology, Black Tech, magic, psionics, and other supernatural means. As a result, you are unable to use phones, computers, and other communication devices. This does not prevent scrying, and it does not prevent you from being controlled unless such control requires technological or supernatural communication.

Possible Enhancements: Concealed, Delayed, Triggered, Fearless, Filtering, Focused, Hard to Control, Hard to Influence, Hard to Possess, Indomitable Will, Polarized, Tireless, Unemotional, Warning, Passive (Seasoned or above)

Note: Taking the Passive Enhancement upgrades this Power to Seasoned.
