a special character, you also gain a
complete list of the target’s current
mission gear (see page 218).
 Intelligence Analysis: You may quickly
sift through large amounts of data. The
time required for you to perform
research using a computer decreases to
1/2 standard (rounded up, minimum 1
minute).
 No Worries: Each time you make a skill
check using a piece of Tradecraft gear,
your error range decreases by 2
(minimum 0).

 Pit Crew: Once per mission, you may
summon a number of mechanics
experts equal to your starting action
dice. Each assistant is a Tier II tool-
pusher (see page 454). Per the GC’s
discretion, the pit crew helps you in any
non-combat endeavor for which they’re
skilled and equipped until the end of the
following scene, or until one of them fails
a Damage save or Morale check, or
suffers a critical injury, at which point the
entire crew leaves. If these standard
NPCs make any skill check that requires
a kit while helping you, they’re assumed
to posess 1 appropriate grade I kit (see
page 213).
 Trade-In: Once per mission, you may
return a vehicle or mount with which
you’re familiar to your Faction or a street
buyer. You regain all mission gear picks
used to obtain the vehicle or mount and
must immediately request a new vehicle
or mount costing up to the same number
of picks. All unspent picks are lost. The
new vehicle or mount is ready at a
location of your choosing in 1 hour. You
are also considered familiar with the
new vehicle or mount. If you use this
ability to trade a vehicle or mount from
your Lifestyle or Possessions, it is
returned at the end of the current
mission.

Wheelman class skills. Your error range

skill, the amount of time required is not

 Spare Keys: Once per mission, when a
vehicle or mount with which you’re
familiar is lost, killed, or destroyed, you
may reveal that you have a second,
identical vehicle or mount available.
Regardless of your current location, it
takes 1d4 hours to retrieve this vehicle
or mount. You are also considered

only once.
Complex Substitution: Your ciphers are

penalties from ability damage, stress, or the

it becomes your domain. While you’re the Prey

 Faculty: Once per mission, you may

equal to your starting action dice. Each
assistant is a Tier II academic (see page
453). Per the GC’s discretion, the faculty
team helps you in any non-combat
endeavor for which they’re skilled and

Resourceful
At 2nd level, a technician gains the ability to
improvise solutions using common objects and
scientific know-how. This ability lets the Field
Scientist create objects in a dramatic situation
quickly and cheaply, but that have a limited
duration.
By spending 1d6 rounds and combining common
objects with a Craft check that corresponds to the
function desired, the Field Scientist can build a
tool or device to deal with any situation. The DC
for the Craft check is equal to 5 + the purchase DC
of the object that most closely matches the
desired function. Only objects that can normally
be used more than once can be improvised.
Electronic devices, special tools, weapons,
mechanical devices, and more can be built with
scientific improvisation. It takes a full-round
action to make an object with scientific
improvisation. The object, when put into use, lasts
for a number of rounds equal to the characters
level, or until the end of the current encounter,
before it breaks down. It can’t be repaired.
ross-class ability
Your diverse training allows you to pick up parts
of other classes along the way. At Levels 6, 9, 12,
15, and 18, you may choose 1 of the following
base class abilities. Most abilities may be chosen
only once; each that is followed by 2 or more
grades, however, may be taken multiple times,
offering 1 grade each time it’s taken (e.g. “×1,
×2”).
Advocate: Absolute certainty; behind the scenes I;
networks; by any means.
Explorer: All over the world; bookworm I; bonus
feat; uncanny dodge I.
Faceman: 1,000 faces; cold read 1/session; quick
change 2/session; masks.
Hacker: ’L337; master key I; trap door 1/session;
bonus feat.
Intruder: Gear prep; evasion I; bonus feat;
uncanny dodge I.
Scientist: Intense study ×1, ×2; Ph.D. (1 skill);
bright idea 1/session.
Scout: Stalker; rough living +1; bonus feat; sneak
attack 1 die.
Sleuth: Human nature; sources I; little details
1/session; bonus feat.
Snoop: Flawless search; intuition I; intercept
communication 1/session; bonus feat.
Soldier: Fight on ×1, ×2; fortunes of war I; armor
use I.
Wheelman: Custom ride; manual adjustment I;
driving school; vehicle familiarity +1.
You may not choose a cross-class ability you’ve
already gained from the class you’re trying to
emulate. If you later gain a class ability you
already possess as a cross-class ability (e.g. you
posess the cross-class ability “Soldier: bonus feat
×1” and gain your first level as a Soldier), you do
not gain the ability a second time, nor is your
cross-class ability enhanced. Instead, you may
make another cross-class ability choice.
When you gain a cross-class ability that uses "class
level" to determine its effectiveness, you are
considered to possess the minimum class level
required to gain the ability in the class emulated.
Actual levels you possess in the emulated class do
not stack with this "assumed class level," but if
you gain a number of actual levels in the
emulated class equal to or greater than this
“assumed class level,” your actual levels in the
class take over, becoming your class level when
using the chosen ability.

If the Game Control rules that a base class is not

available in his campaign, then all Pointmen in
that campaign lose access to cross-class abilities
listed for that class. Likewise, if the GC approves
the use of additional base classes from other
Spycraft products, other options may become
available.
