Lumen Driver Training
One(1) Handed Effective Range: 10
Base Scale: 2 Weapon Damage: 1D8
Damage Type: Electric
A Driver is a hand-mounted computing gauntlet with nodes affixed to the fingertips designed to navigate digital menus and interfaces rapidly. Lumen Drivers are often required to facilitate many Electronics Ability Checks or interact with Digital Entities, Devices, or Objects. Lumen Drivers contain holographic light projectors that can display simple audiovisual information. When wielded as a Weapon, a Driver can be used to implant destructive errors within a Targeted Machine’s internal processes, causing the Machine to suffer Electric Damage. You can not use standard Lumen Drivers to harm Non-Machine Creatures. Investing in Lumen Driver Training will enhance a Character’s Force Save and Electronics Ability Statistics at every Odd Rank, their Attack and Damage Rolls with Cast Weapons, and their total available Heroic Action Slots on Even Ranks. At Rank Five(5) and Ten(10), the Character’s Base Scale with any Weapon increases by plus One(+1), permanently increasing their Weapon Damage with all Weapons. A New Equipment Modification Slot becomes available at the First(1st) Equipment Rank and every Three(3) Equipment Ranks after that.
