I am loving my AgentEX, he epitomizes the sort of ideal CK I have pictured, sort of get in and get out without leaving a trace, but with the ability to exterminate with extreme prejudice if needed ;D
Just wondering when electronics becomes, as Cory said, "a first-class citizen," will we see AgentEX's change their special skill to Electronics?
I understand Athletics for now with the 'digital ninja,' but I personally prefer the idea of making 'quick work of a door's security system and the defensive forces on the far side' as opposed to outrunning every enemy encountered with my Usain Bolt speed from Athletics.
The fact that the description of the class ends with them being 'known for their skill with technological devices of all kind' really gives me hope that the AgentEX was planned as the Electronics master from the get-go.
Plus I also think this would go along way to making sure my fellow AgentEX brethren would find jobs as runners instead of sitting in back rooms looking wide eyed as the Gunslinger goes on his 6th tour of duty with a CK.
Thanks for any feedback,
Necro

I suspect that the "medic" character type Cory hinted at in another thread will have the Electronics specialization. But if that is true, the description of Agent Extreme should probably drop the bit about being expert at electronics.

Keep in mind that there are additional character specializations coming.
There will be two character classes with Electronics but AgentEX won't be one of them.
That will be Drone Master and Medic. AgentEX, however, will have other character specializations.
AgentEX will not come fulling into effect until there are active security systems to deal with. First-class citizen ship for AgentEX will need to wait for Combat Devices, Towers (indoor maps) and Security Doors.
Consider the following upcoming differentiation releases:
- Melee Defense Buttons
- Ranged Defense Buttons
- Use Device in Combat
- Use Device in Attack
- Melee Attack Buttons
- Ranged Attack Buttons
So the AgentEX may end up being something like ...
- Athletics Specialization
- "Dazzle" Defense Button (Destroys Attacker's AP)
- Bonus for Anti-Security Devices
- Use Combat Devices
So the Drone Master may end up being something like ...
- Electronics Specialization
- "Drone Call" Defense Button (Swaps to Drone for Defense)
- Control Drones Mastery
So the Medic may end up being something like ...
- Electronics Specialization
- "Bandage" Defense Button (HP/MP Recovery)
- Bonus for Med Kits (0AP Used)
- Ability to Aid Fallen Comrades

I like the different specializations with tech ;D When they come out, will the older character types get their specializations too?

When the medic comes out and if it has auto heal and revive abilities set, we got our basic healer/cleric/shaman that is essential to any rpg party ;D Mix it up with nano armor and we are set for some heavy duty combat scenarios  |

Currently the starting stats of the Agent X gives more starting XP in electronics than in athletics. Maybe this should be changed?

Use Combat Devices will enable a bunch of different specialty attacks. Perhaps explosives, frag grenades, lasers bombs and stuff |

Ah.. Suggestion for combat items for Agent EX:
Flash Bombs and Termite Grenades ;D
Perfect for distraction and disorienting targets.
