Deletion Pads

Magitech

The fingertips on one of your hands are branded with glowing mystic sigils that can subtly erase data from a computer system you touch. As a standard action, you can delete up to 1,500 words (such as data from a file or lines of computer code) from a computer you touch whose tier is no higher than half your level. Computers generally keep backups on a round-by-round basis, and when you erase information from a computer, it takes 1 round for the computer to access its backups, though if that code is part of a program that stores continuous data (like a camera feed), the computer won’t be able to recover the missing data. If the data is part of the computer’s countermeasure modules or controls a technological trap, you must also succeed at a Computers check to hack (DC equals the normal DC to hack that computer or the disable DC of the trap). Failing this check sets off the countermeasures or the trap.

Once you use your deletion pads, you can’t use them again until you’ve rested to regain Stamina Points, though you can spend 1 Resolve Point at any time to recharge the deletion pads immediately.
