Overview

Biotech is the difference between a bleeding teammate and a dead one. It covers battlefield first aid, stabilizing wounds, longer treatment in a safehouse, and working with implants, cultured tissue, and the drugs that keep a body running. Street doctors sell it by the hour, and a team without a rank of it pays those rates while a member bleeds out. It also covers the ugly side: knowing what a compound does to a metahuman before someone injects it.

How it works

Linked Attribute: Logic Dice Pool: Logic plus Biotech, with each 5 or 6 rolled as a hit. Thresholds: 1 hit for basic patching, 3 for a serious wound under pressure, 5 for damage that needs a clinic. Gear Matters: A medkit is the assumed tool. Working with bare hands in a hostile spot is where the threshold climbs.

Tips and playstyle

Best for: The one member of every team who is willing to be the medic, and any character with a clinical background. Character concepts: A struck-off trauma surgeon, a combat medic out of the corporate security ranks, a street doc who runs to cover implant costs. Synergies: Logic also drives Cracking, Electronics, and Engineering, so a smart character can carry medicine alongside a technical specialty.
