The Espionage Specialist is the same basic type of character as the Freelance
Spy, but he or she has an edge. This Agent is trained and backed by the military and has accest to far more resources and skills then the Freelancer. In addition this agent has undergone extensive cybernetic and bionic enhancement. Espionage Specialists are the most deadly members of their profession,
combining their skills with bionic abilities to achieve the impossible. As stated spies are becoming commonplace in the galaxy. With the growing number of threats that have been presenting themsleves, many world governments feel the Superizing of their spies the only opion to keeping their edge.
Espionage Specialist as a subset of the military trade hold both Military rank and have full access to any and all military personal, skill sets and equipment.
Mental Resistance: A Espionage Specialist wouldn’t be much of a spy if he can’t keep his secrets safes from his enemies. Espionage Specialist have developed numerous mental skills to prevent telepathic probes and mind control from pulling their secrets from their thoughts. Spies need a 12 or higher to save vs. psionics, +3 to save vs. mind controlling drugs, potions, and magic/psychic charm, +2 to save vs. possession, telepathic probes, and horror factor.
Alternate Identity: By far the most impressive of the Espionage Specialist's skills is his ability to become someone else. They can flawlessly take on any personal so long as they take enough time to study their targeted persona in detail. Once the study period is ended they have the option of selecting 6 O.C.C. related skills or the O.C.C Skills of another character class they are impersonating.
While the Espionage Specialist has trained himself to perform and duplicate these areas of expertise, the Espionage Specialist gains none of the O.C.C. special abilities or training. The Espionage Specialist not only receives the bonuses in parentheses for the O.C.C. they are impersonating, they also get the benefit of applying their own O.C.C. bonuses to any skill that would be included in their areas of formal training and knowledge.
For example, if an Espionage Specialist trained himself to impersonate a Soldier, the Espionage Specialist would learn the O.C.C. skill-Land Navigation with the +15% bonus and the +5% bonus gained from the Espionage Specialist’s wilderness skill bonus. O.C.C. skills of another character class do not level up as the character gains in experience. If an O.C.C. skill is duplicated, it will continue to grow with experience as the character increases in skill and knowledge.
Potentially an Espionage Specialist can impersonate any other O.C.C., however O.C.C.s like Esper are difficult to maintain without demonstrating the ability to perform any of their special talents. If an Espionage Specialist chooses to make his impersonated O.C.C. into his permanent Second O.C.C., he can do so, however he still only gains half the number of O.C.C. related skills. THis ability can only be done once every other level as it takes time to learn the skills nessesary to pull off a successful impersonation.
