Savant

Description

The human brain is a marvel of evolution, capable of processing vast amounts of information in a fraction of a second. Savants are those who have been genetically engineered to push the limits of human cognition. They are capable of processing information at speeds that far exceed the capabilities of an unmodified human, making them ideal for roles that require quick thinking and rapid decision-making.

Savants are often found in high-stress environments, such as military operations, scientific research, or corporate espionage. They are able to process information quickly and efficiently, making them invaluable assets in situations where time is of the essence. Their enhanced cognitive abilities allow them to analyze complex data sets, solve problems, and make decisions in the blink of an eye.

Starting Skills: Savants begin with one rank in Computers or Perception during character creation. They obtain this rank before spending experience points, and may not train this skill above rank 2 during character creation.

Rapid Analysis: Once per session, the Savant may spend a Story Point as an incidental before they make a skill check to count their ranks in the skill being used as equal to their Intellect.

Mind Over Matter: Savants have machine-like mental endurance and the ability to shrug off stress that would affect ordinary humans more seriously. They can recover strain equal to their Intellect characteristic at the end of an encounter.

Enhanced Memory: Savants have an uncanny ability to recall information with perfect clarity. They add an automatic aa to any checks related to memory or recall.
