Bio Interface

+4 Medicine for biotech; plug into biotech systems for direct readout; +2 INT-based biotech.

The character can interface directly with biological and wetware systems. The character gains +4 to Medicine checks involving biotech, xenobiology, biotech machinery, and living-system diagnostics. With a functioning wetware port or biotech console, the character may plug directly in (a standard action) and receive real-time diagnostic readouts on biological samples, xenobiological organisms, or biotech machinery state, granting +2 to all INT-based checks involving the interfaced system for 10 minutes.

Notes

Combat Action / Effect Script Id: Bio Interface

Special: Requires a wetware neural port or biotech-compatible implant (must be installed). Plugging in requires a functioning biotech port on the target system. The interface does not grant control, only read access; hacking or controlling requires separate Mechanics/Hacking rolls. The +2 bonus applies to all INT-based checks made through the interface during the 10-minute window (Lore, Engineering, Xenology, etc.).
