Tech Level: PL 6
EDF Modifier:
Description: Identity chips, more advanced versions of shepherd chips, provide identification without requiring visual recognition—a high-tech ID that functions even when the wearer is unrecognizable.
Benefit: An identity chip functions as both legal ID and a credit card. The recipient can make Wealth checks even when separated from his funds. It is extremely difficult to make a false identify chip, requiring the Craft Cybernetics feat as well as a DC 30 Computer Use check. The forger then makes a Forgery check. Any Computer Use or Forgery check made to attempt to identify a faked identity chip as a forgery gains a +5 bonus and is an opposed check against the original Forgery check used to create the fake chip.
Type: Internal
