Master Slicer

+2 Hacking/Computers; slice as free action; halve black-ICE damage.

The character is a master of computer intrusion, able to slice into systems with breathtaking speed and resist countermeasures. The character gains +2 to Hacking and Computers checks, may initiate a slice (attempt to breach a system) as a free action instead of a standard action, and takes half damage from black-ICE programs.
