Suggested Ability Score

A biohacker NPC should arrange its ability score modifiers depending on its scientific focus (though this has no mechanical effect for the NPC’s abilities).
Instinctive: Wisdom, Dexterity, and Intelligence.
Studious: Intelligence, Dexterity, and Wisdom.

Gear

Light armor (item level = CR), small arm with injector weapon special property (item level = CR), basic melee weapon (item level = CR – 1), two grenades (item level = CR – 1), and medicinal and/or poison (item level = CR).

Special Rules

Choose a primary field of study (biohacker NPCs of CR 7+ receive a secondary field of study, while biohacker NPCs of CR 13+ also receive a tertiary field of study); the NPC gains access to the boosters and inhibitors of chosen fields of study. At appropriate CRs, the NPC also receives the breakthrough of the listed chosen field of study.
