• 64 points in knowledge skills(max 16 points each. Should have at least one knowledge skill 12+ points.)

You’re what most people think of as a “martial artist”: lean, agile, and lethally skilled at unarmed combat.

You can’t quite break the laws of physics, but you’re working on it! Until you succeed, you satisfy yourself with breaking boards, bricks, and records. You perform feats at the edge of human capability with ease – frequently to the surprise of friend and foe alike

Attributes: DX +3[60], Speed +0.25[5], move +1[5]

Advantages:

• Trained by a Master [30], Acrobatic Kicks [1].

You’re a master of barehanded combat – but not the sort who jumps readily to mind. In fact, you prefer not to jump, and favor physical strength and grit over acrobatics. This doesn’t mean that you lack finesse; you simply like to settle scraps with solid hits, not by dancing around. As far as you’re concerned, leaping is a way to exit moving vehicles and second-story windows . . . and in those situations, you’re tough enough to take the fall!

Primary Skills: (24)

• Autohypnosis (H) Will [4]
• Biology (VH) IQ[8]
• Body Control (VH) HT [8]
• Chemistry (H) IQ[4]

Your abilities are tied directly to your unique body chemistry. You must have Unusual Biochemistry (p. B160); if you ever roll a 4-5 for that disadvantage, the drug in question works, but the “harmful effect” is always losing access to all of your Bioenhancement abilities for 1d minutes.

Some of the abilities below are leveled. The maximum level available for any Bioenhancement ability is equal to the HT.

Those with any points in Bioenhancement can learn Autohypnosis (p. B179) or Body Control (p. B181), and may ignore the prerequisites for the latter.

3.2 points/level

You can temporarily boost your ST (but not your HP) by one for every level of this ability. This takes a Ready maneuver to activate and lasts for 4 seconds, after which it is inaccessible for 15 seconds.

18, 32, or 54 points

You recover from injury very quickly. You regain conscious- ness 60 times faster than normal; you add +5 to rolls to recover from a crippling injury; and you heal 1 HP per 12 hours, 1 HP per hour, or 1 HP per minute, depending on your level. Statistics: Recovery (PM, -10%) [9] + Regeneration (Slow, Regular, or Fast; PM, -10%) [9, 23, or 45].

28 or 55 points

You are not limited to one attack per turn! Depending on your level, you can attack two or three times per second with- out having to make an All-Out Attack or Rapid Strike, and you may use the same weapon if you wish. Bioenhancement Talent does not add to your attack rolls.

Statistics: Extra Attack 1 or 2 (Multi-Strike, +20%; PM, -10%) [28 or 55].

8 or 18 points

You can stay awake longer, requiring only half as much sleep as a normal person or no sleep at all, depending on your level!

Statistics: Less Sleep 4 (PM, -10%) [8] or Doesn’t Sleep (PM, -10%) [18].

14 points

You can automatically tell two sounds apart no matter how similar, can perfectly memorize sounds for later recollection, and make all Hearing rolls for such sounds at +4.

14 or 21 points

You can identify people, places, and things by their scent, and even track by smell, all at +4. Level 2 adds the ability to smell emotion!

Statistics: Discriminatory Smell (PM, -10%) [14] or Discrim- inatory Smell (Emotion Sense, +50%; PM, -10%) [21].

4 points/level

You can “zoom in” with your eyes at will. Your range penal- ties for Vision rolls are reduced and you may use your eyes as a variable-power scope (p. B412). However, any blinding attacks (e.g., a flash-bang grenade) that affect you while using this abil- ity have double the normal duration!

Statistics: Telescopic Vision (PM, -10%; Temporary Disad- vantage, Vulnerability (Blinding Attacks ¥2), -10%) [4/level].

9, 18 or 27 points

When you sprint, you can really run! Your top speed is 1.5x, 2x or 3x your Move, depending on your level. Statistics: Enhanced Move 0.5,1 or 1.5 (Ground; PM, -10%) [9, 18 or 27].

18, 36, or 54 points

Your body takes very little time to react to your impulses. Each level adds +1 to your Basic Speed (and thus to your Dodge and Basic Move)! Bioenhancement Talent does not add to your Dodge rolls, but it does add to Acrobatics skill when making a “fancy” dodge (p. B375). Statistics: Basic Speed +1.00, +2.00, or +3.00 (PM, -10%) [18, 36, or 54].

1.5 points/level

Your skin is much tougher than it looks, providing flexible DR against anything except contact attacks. Anyone who touches it must make a Per-4 roll to notice. The level of this ability is limited to half your HT, rounded up.

Statistics: DR (Low Signature, +10%; PM, -10%; Tough Skin, -40%) [1.5/level].

23 points

You can run along tightropes at full speed and perform sim- ilar feats of balance. If you do fall, you almost always end up on your feet, none the worse for wear.

Statistics: Catfall (PM, -10%) [9] + Perfect Balance (PM, -10%) [14].

18 points

Your redundant organs continue to function at full capacity even when wounded. This greatly reduces the amount of dam- age you take from bullets (Injury to Unliving, Homogenous, and Diffuse Targets, p. B380), unless struck directly in the skull or vitals.

Statistics: Injury Tolerance (Unliving; PM, -10%) [18].

8 or 15 points

A portion of your mind has been wired to work as a high- speed computer. You can use this to store or process any infor- mation you know, or load actual raw data into it by reading a “binary dump” (printed or on a monitor). At level 1, you can do complex calculations and store general memories (an IQ roll is needed to recall specific details). At level 2, your mind can out- perform all but the fastest computers, and you automatically remember everything.

Statistics: Accessory (Computer) [1] + Eidetic Memory (PM, -10%) [5] + Lightning Calculator (PM, -10%) [2] or Accessory (Computer) [1] + Intuitive Mathematician (PM, -10%) [5] + Photographic Memory (PM, -10%) [9].

9 or 23 points

The rods and cones in your eyes can adapt for different forms of light. At level 1, this gives you infrared vision. At level 2, it includes a whole spectrum of options!

Statistics: Infravision (PM, -10%) [9] or Hyperspectral Vision (PM, -10%) [23].

9, 18, or 27 points You can make impressive leaps! This allows you to jump two, four, or eight times farther than normal, depending on your level.

Statistics: Super Jump 1, 2, or 3 (PM, -10%) [9, 18, or 27]

Bioenhancement Talent represents an understanding of your body and its new gifts. It adds to any roll to use a Bioenhancement ability, as well as to any roll to diagnose (but not to fix) a problem with your own body or mind. Bioenhancement Skills
