Rules:Data Interfaces

Rules in progress: The rules on this page are in development and not yet implemented. Do not use them in regular play. Once this marker is removed, you may (and should!) begin to use them.

These are the official rules for the Data Interface Race. For in-character information, see this page.

A Data Interface is nothing more than an artificial human, created by the enigmatic being known as the Integral Thought Entity to study the manifold races of the universe.

Nomenclature: Data Interface(s), Interface(s)
Class: Racial Overlay
Tech Bias: Same as original race's
Available Power Types: Magical, plus whatever PL type is available to its original race

Major Racial Advantages

• Ritual Mastery: Data Interfaces are masters at performing complex spells quicker than the layman. Mandatory Casting Time for an Interface begins at 90 base days, and the progression follows as such:

1 - 90 base days: no preparation time
91 - 180 base days: 1 post of preparation
181 - 300 base days: 2 posts of preparation
301 - 450 base days: 3 posts of preparation
451 - 630 base days: 4 posts of preparation

• Encryption Sense: An Interface studies the sea of data, what others call reality, with a keen and analytical eye. This grants Interfaces the ability to sense Ki and Psionic signatures, just as they would nominally sense magic.

Minor Racial Advantages

• Oratory: Interfaces need not use their hands in the crafting of their spellwork. Only the ability to chant in their particular language is necessary to weave spells into being.

• Ritual Practice: A Data Interface begins play with the Speedcast CT already learned.

Major Racial Disadvantages:

• Energy State: An Interface is a being created out of pure magic. Thus, they find it difficult to circumvent or resist abilities meant to destroy energy types. An Interface is capable of producing physical-type effects via their spells, but doing so is learned at a lower step bias.

• Specialization: Data Interfaces must always wield a magical power level. This MagPL may not be less than any other power types they possess.

Minor Racial Disadvantages

• Arcane Nexus: As they are beings created via the manipulation of arcane energies, Interfaces possess a sensible magical signature, equal to 100% of their MagPL.
