Description

With a successful Mind Stat check, characters with this Attribute can access, read, and understand data from all computers or Silicon Age technology in the surrounding area. The Attribute Level determines the maximum area in which the computers can be scanned. To read multiple computers over a network, the area Level must be high enough to encompass the target computers. Since this Attribute can be a very powerful tool in a campaign, the GM and players should ensure it is used appropriately. In a specific setting, Data Access can be modified to access organic information from the natural environment instead (such as in a high fantasy eco-magic campaign). Characters who can control (rather than just read) complex networks or robots should take the Mind Control Attribute (page 108). Characters who can control mechanical technology such as automobiles and construction equipment might instead possess the Telekinesis Attribute (page 125) with a specific Limiter. This will let them manipulate levers, steering wheels, and other components remotely.
