Hardwired Defenses

+4 to resist hacking/hijack; counter-hack as reaction; immune to Kadiss throttle.

The character's synthetic systems are hardened against intrusion. The character gains +4 to all checks to resist hacking, system hijack, and electronic warfare. Once per round, when the character's systems are breached, the character may attempt a counter-hack as a reaction (opposed INT check vs. the intruder). The character is immune to Kadiss throttle effects.

Notes

Combat Action / Effect Script Id: Hardwired Defenses

Special: Synthetic origin required. The counter-hack reaction is declared after the intruder's successful breach but before effects resolve. The opposed check uses the character's INT modifier vs. the intruder's INT modifier. This feat stacks with Cyber-Warfare Suite if the character has both. Kadiss throttle immunity applies because synthetics are not dependent on Kadiss for cognition.
