Tech Specialist

Tech Specialist Job Training

Description

As a tech specialist, your abilities would rely heavily on your intelligence and aim. You’d learn to work with all kinds of technologies, perhaps even make your own robotic defense turrets! Your intellect would be your greatest weapon, though you wouldn’t shy away from tweaking your own high-tech ranged weaponry. The life of a tech specialist is one of profit through smart decisions and superior technology.

	Shield Booster	Grants a further increase to your shield generator, providing an additional eight points of protection per level.
3	Overcharge	Grants the ability to perform a single ranged attack for 200% normal damage. If the target's shields have been depleted, the shot may stun the target. Requires an energy weapon.
	Charge Weapon	Grants the ability to charge your melee weapon with electricity for even deadlier strikes!
4	Power Surge	Grants the ability to restore a moderate amount of shielding and 33 energy once per combat.
	Deflector Regeneration	Grants the ability to restore a moderate amount of shielding and 40 energy over four combat rounds once per combat. Effect is interrupted when shields are full.
5	Gravidic Disruptor	Grants the ability to deal Unresistable damage to targeted enemies.
	Thermal Disruptor	Grants the ability to deal Burning damage to your foes. Deals higher base damage than Gravidic Disruptor, but some enemies may be resistant to Burning damage.
6	Gun Tweaks	Allows you to do 20% additional damage with energy guns thanks to after-market modifications.
	Weapon Tweaks	Allows you to do 20% additional damage with melee energy weapons thanks to after-market modifications.

	Deadly Shock	Boosts the amount of electrical current used for Paralyzing Shock, allowing it to do a moderate amount of electrical damage on top of the stun effect.
10	Boosted Charges	Enhances your gravidic and thermal charges' damage, and also provides secondary effects. Gravidic charge leaves a lingering field that reduces all kinetic damage dealt for three rounds. Thermal charge has a chance of lighting your foes on fire.
	Linked Emitters	Grants 5% critical hit chance with energy weapons while your shields are up.

Notes

The Fucksense Perk changes most of the Tech Specialists intelligence based effects to use libido in place of intelligence.

Effective intelligence seems to be: (M) * (L/100)= Effective Intelligence. Where M is Maximum Intelligence and L is libido.
