Enhanced Hackers Ability?

[Jacob]

Maybe, after both hacking and electronics have both been raised to Max (And they have level 3 hacking Implants), hackers can _destroy_ drones instead of disabling them temporarily?

They could also convert them into allies - although this ability could be reserved to the upcoming Drone Master the TBs talked about.

A new Knight. Would be incredibly awesome, and it fits him, too. Thanks, actually forgot that they had him in the planning state.

I love the new class abilities but unlike grapple and dual shot which I spam I rarely use jam
I'd like to see Jam still have the -AP effect, but perhaps it could also gain an Attack roll to inflict MP damage aswell.
roughly:
Jam Power = intelligence/2 rounded down +1.
Jam Penetration=mind+1
Jam Accuracy=hacking

[note: I believe accuracy of weapons is added to brawling/firearms skills to calculate your hits and misses with traditional weapons. Jam has no skill to add accuracy to iirc, hence accuracy of jam attack is higher than standard wepz]

for eg
My hacker Syntax Erra, Jams a drone and does -4ap and then gets an attack roll.
Syntax has mind 8, intelligence 7, hacking 11(w/implants).
Jam power=4
Jam penetration=9
Jam accuracy=11
(only targets drones for MP damage)

Increase the AP cost of Jam to 4.

Scales with your Knight all game for an always helpful but not OP ability
voila

come to think, this may suit the prodigal dronemaster who will one day come to us just replace hacking with electronics

It could jam a monster's implants if they have any. Non computerized things like dermal armour or bone grafts wouldn't be affected.

Advanced drone operations in combat will be reserved for the Drone Master Knight. Great suggestions all around!
