Resonating Biohack Biohacker (Biohacker Alternate Class Feature)

Sound is a funny thing when it comes to medicine, having many different applications, everything from therapeutic vibrations to ultrasound scans to using a sonic device to break up things like kidney stones.

But for a crystalline creature, sound can often be much more than that due to the way that their structures resonate, which is why today’s subject was canonically invented by the urog.

Indeed, given their silicon-based nature, it can sometimes be hard to inject medicines directly into their bodies, so urog doctors developed ways to transfer medicines through hypersonic frequencies, a practice that they and those they train carry over into affecting other creatures.

Now, there is some credence to this. Jet injectors, for example, propel medicine at such force that it penetrates the skin without needing a needle. However, the flavor of the class suggests that what the practitioner is doing is instead vibrating the bodies of their subject in such a way as to induce various changes in their bodies, despite the fact that they often are still consuming a physical resource. Perhaps it’s a bit of both, then, with daily uses of boosters and inhibitors being resonation-based while those with an actual price tag are injected.

Either way, the result is a variant of biohacker that utilizes sonic weapons instead of various forms of syringe-launchers. So let’s see what they’ve got.

Rather than use injection weapons, these doctors instead use sonic weapons, able to use them to deliver their payloads of serums and the like through vibrationary force and resonance. Of course they still gain the advantages that other biohackers do with their weaponry, able to inject foes at a distance without injuring them. Additionally, if bereft of such weaponry, they can still deliver their biohacks with a sonic pad in their toolkit or a ranged sonic burst.

While relatively simple, this alternate feature does offer greater damage with sonic weapons and a way for them to target EAC instead of the generally tougher KAC. However, sonic weapons aren’t exactly subtle, making them less useful for stealth. However, if the aesthetic vibes with you, by all means go for it.

There isn’t a whole lot to differentiate how you roleplay these biohackers compared to traditional ones, especially since they are both well known for experimental treatments despite them being flavored different ways. That flavoring, what with their inhibitors and boosters being resonant in nature, can make for interesting descriptions though, I suppose.

The Tournament of Might, a competition where combatants of all stripes face off, has suddenly ground to a halt when one of the medics making sure that competitors do not die or face permanent injury is found dead, murdered with their own sonic therapy glove (actually a modified pulse gauntlet), but who could have wanted a medic dead and why?

With their fierce warrior culture, it can be hard to imagine tromlin bloodseekers in a medicine role, but someone has to tend to the needs of their allies, and one such person is Baklas, a rather level-headed member of their species. They could be a useful contact among a people that would rather fight than talk.

In the farthest reaches of that galaxy are ancient remnants of the yithian culture, including some of their greatest innovations. One such tool is a device that far surpasses any sonic medicine practiced today. Acquiring one of these items means braving such ruins, or finding the current unscrupulous owner.
