Berry Corp Employee

[[toc]]

+ Bakoren's Explanation

All this chitchat and discussion about the iPoke Hacker has made me think about someway to stop an enemy hacker. Well, after Botherer posted his take on the iPoke hacker, it gave me enough of a base to try and build an iPoke Technician.

The main thing needed for this class is an IC email and discussion with the Berrycorp and eventually getting hired by them. This should take frequent work and constant relays with the company. The class also requires you to keep track of your Battery life as it is listed on the iPoke home page. This class is also used in the assumption there are Berry Corp stores in major cities. Possibly an Online market as well.

That being said, I know I will overlook a typo or leave out vital information. Anyone involved in AHA may modify this or leave comments along the bottom.

Static
Effect: You are now an employee of the Berry Corporation. As part of your duties, you must wear an ID tag that shows your affiliation with Berry Corp, and attempt to maintain contact with Berry Corp on a daily basis. You are also obligated to perform maintenance checks on any and all iPokes under warranty should they be presented to you by their owners. Each week, you are issued 1,000 Bits for your services as a Berry Corp employee. In addition, if you perform maintenance on at least three Berry Corporation devices throughout the week, you receive a commission of 250 Bits per device.

**Repairs and Standard Maintenance.** [ TA, LI ] ( E )
At-Will
Target: A Berry Corporation product.
Effect: As part of your training as a Berry Corp employee, you can now perform routine maintenance and repairs on an iPoke over the course of an hour. You can restore any damaged iPoke to “Like New” condition so long as you have all of its parts. In addition, you may roll 1d20, adding your INT modifier to the check. On a Critical Failure, you lock the device for the next 24 hours, rendering it useless. If your roll is 15 or higher, the next item purchased through a Berry Corp app on that iPoke within the next 24 hours receives a 10% discount. In addition, if your roll is 20 or higher, a temporary spike in performance allows the iPoke’s next scan to return its results at the end of two turns.

+ Standard Character Paragraph

The Berry Corp has finally accepted you into their ranks. With this employment you are given access to advanced Apps and modifications for your iPoke, as well benefits. All you have to do is spread the good name of Berry Corp and repair customers’ devices. Along with being a general technician, you are the only thing that stands between your product and the nefarious hackers determined to steal your information and innovations.
Some people see you as an ingenious tinkerer, capable of creating powerful machines and applications; others see you as a wimpy computer geek. You see yourself as a Berry Corp Field Employee.

+++ Feedback

Botherer
•	iPoke Case - Perhaps make the feat such that the creator of the casing can make the casing more durable by paying more money into it; say start with a DC10 default, then 250 more per point you’d like to add to the casing’s durability up to your INT modifier? If things can be not forced onto the GM(s) for rulings it helps~
•	Medical Emergency – Nothing serious; simply that the prices should be reflective of what Alchemy normally costs to use them.
