Adept Powers

Shadowrun Fifth Edition Core Rulebook

Attribute Boost

Replace the text with:

Attribute Boost

Cost: 0.5 PP per level
Activation: Simple Action

The adept calls upon inner strength to perform amazing physical feats beyond their normal abilities. Activating this power adds the Rating to a single Physical Attribute, up to the character's augmented maximum. This affects anything the attribute would normally affect — Limits, Initiative, Physical Track, etc. The character also makes a Simple Magic + Attribute Boost Rating Test Test; the boost lasts for a number of Combat Turns equal to twice the number of hits scored.

When the Attribute Boost runs out, the character resists Drain equal to the Rating. If a character boosts multiple attributes, the effects of each activation persist for the longest duration rolled. At the end of that period, the character resists Drain equal to the rating of this power times the number of ending boosts.

Combat Sense

Replace the text with:

Combat Sense

Cost: 0.5 PP per level
Activation: Passive

Combat Sense provides an instinctive sense of any potential threats nearby. When defending against ranged and melee attacks, the character gains dice pool bonus to Defense Tests equal to the level fo this power. The character gains the same bonus to Surprise Tests.

Voice Control

See Security Devices for how this power interacts with voice recognition systems.
