Starting characters receive 2 free perks at character creation. Perks can otherwise be bought for 5 build points or 5 Karma. Throughout the game, characters might encounter or unlock unique or hidden perks.
Characters lose the benefits of a perk if they somehow fail to qualify for it after having taken it.
Unless otherwise noted, bonuses to initiative and reaction from perks do not stack with cyberware, those that do not stack with magic are specifically noted. Stat Bonuses from perks overlap with the temporary boost from the Increase Attribute spell.

keeping distracted in this way. This penalty overlaps with any caused by
obscurement. Initiating this ability is a simple action.
Prerequisite: Charisma 6, Dance 6 or Negotiations 6
Stare Down
As
a complex action you may make a charisma check opposed by your target's
choice of stats. If you win, your target flees for a number of phases equal to your net successes or until attacked. Thereafter your target

be effected by Stare Down, nor can a target be affected by Stare Down more than once per encounter.
Prerequisite: Charisma 8 or Intimidate 6, Sorcery, Engineering, or weapon skill 8Hunch
You're exceptionally good at noticing lies
You may spend 1 KP to roll an intelligence test against a TN of your target's intelligence. If you achieve a success you know whether a statement that the target just made is a lie. This ability does not detect half-truths, or falsehoods the subject believes to be true. Furthermore, if you achieve a number of successes equal to half the target's intelligence, you get an idea of the target's attitude towards you (hostile, friendly, scared), and the motive for the lie.
Cold Reading
Through an amazing combination of empathy and deduction you are able to notice patterns in a subject and tease bits of information out of them subconsciously.
During the course of a conversation with a living subject, you may spend 1KP to roll intelligence or charisma against a target number of the subject's willpower. The subject resists this by rolling willpower against the lower of your intelligence or charisma. If you gain net successes then each of those successes may be used to give you a decent guess (3/6) about a specific piece of information the subject consciously knows (such as address or computer password) or to shore up the validity of a guess by 1/6 up to a maximum of 5/6. If the subject gains net successes, your wheedling and scrutiny is noticed, and the subject becomes too suspicious of you to allow you to try again. This ability takes a number of minutes equal to the successes you roll; you may withhold successes to speed things up. Each additional attempt to use this perk on the same subject imposes a +2 TN modifier on your test, and grants a -2 TN modifier to your subject's resistance attempt. This is a conversation skill.
Prerequisites: Intelligence+Charisma ≥10, Investigate 4, Etiquette+Negotiations≥8, Hunch
Smooth Talker
You're able to convince people to do things that they normally wouldn't
You may spend 1 KP to make a brief statement convincing your target that a specific action is reasonable and that they should do as you say. Roll charisma against a TN of the higher of the target's intelligence or willpower. The target resists by rolling the same stat against a TN of your charisma. If you have net successes the target will comply. For mundane or somewhat reasonable uses of this ability, the target will notice nothing amiss. Targets convinced to do highly unusual things will realize their mistake after a number of turns equal to your net successes, or if someone points it out to them. This ability may be used on multiple targets simultaneously, but charisma dice must be divided between them. Targets asked to do highly self-destructive actions treat their attribute as doubled for both the success and resistance tests. Targets cannot be convinced to perform actions which are suicidal or strongly contrary to their natures.

Prerequisite: This is my most favorite gun
Bullet Witch
When using your favorite gun, you may spend 1 KP to have the bullets from your next attack deal elemental blast damage, rather than ballistic damage. This renders ballistic armor only half as effective as normal against the attack, and allows you to strike targets not normally affected by normal weapons. Defenses against elemental damage still apply.
Prerequisite: This is my most favorite gun (weapon), Good at this(Weapon Skill), Weapon Skill 8, Essence 6
Improved Searching fire
You may choose to use burst, or full-auto to reduce the TN to hit your target on a 2:1 basis (round down). Thus, a three-round burst could grant a -1 TN modifier, or 10 rounds worth of full-auto could grant a -5 bonus. The value of your bonus to hit cannot be more than half of your weapon skill. The dodge TN, power and damage code of your attack remain at their single-shot values.
Heavy Rain
You've attained true full-auto mastery.
When Using full-auto you may choose to add 1/3rd of your weapon skill either to the base power of your attack, or to the number of dice rolled for resolving your suppressive fire attempts, in the latter-case treating targets as though they'd been exposed to more bullets.
Prerequisite: Improved Searching fire, Break Shot, Good at this (firearm)
Break Shot
You've learned to fire very tightly controlled bursts for maximum penetration against hard targets.
You may choose to use bullets of burst fire to increase the base power of your attack while leaving the damage code and dodge TNs unchanged. Firing a burst in this way is a complex action.
Sonic Draw
You
may quick-draw normally weapons without need of a check and concealed
ones at the normal TN. When you quick draw weapons you may make a
(weapon skill) 8 test; each success grants you one extra die on your
attack.
Prerequisite: Weapon Skill 8, Reaction 8
Lightning Draw
You
may draw and holster concealed weapons as a free action without need of
a check, and may use slight of hand to conceal a weapon even while

not that you have it out), and receive a flat bonus on either check
equal to one half of the relevant weapon skill. You may draw or holster
weapons even out of turn.
Prerequisite: Sonic Draw
DANCE!
You can force your opponents to dance away from your hail of gunfire.
As a complex action you may choose a living opponent as your target and make a ranged attack test with any ranged weapon capable of at least a semi-automatic rate of fire. The base TN for this test is the average of your target's quickness and willpower. Your target resists this by making a dodge test as normal with available combat pool dice. Your attack does not damage the target, but each net success you achieve forces your target to immediately move 1 meter directly away from you. If you achieve net successes equal to half the target's quickness you may force the target prone at the end of it's movement. This movement cannot force a target into an immediate hazard, such as a cliff or lava pit, nor will this technique work on targets which cannot be damaged by your weapon. This ability requires and expends a number of shots equal to the dice you roll.
Prerequisite: High Noon, Charisma 6 or Intimidate 6
Weapon Handling
Your strength and body are considered to be 4 points higher for the purposes of handling weapons; ex: carrying heavy weapons or resisting damage from firing them unaided, recoil. May be taken multiple times.
Energetic
For
every four points you have in the energy weapons skill you gain one
additional initiative die, these dice overlap with any granted by spells
or cyberware.
Interdiction
You can interrupt the flow of events with blinding speed.
Once per turn, during another character's action you may spend 1KP and make a (weapon skill) test vs that character's current initiative, followed by an opposed reaction roll. If you succeeded on both tests you may immediately draw a weapon and make a single attack against your target before they are able to complete their action. If you failed the reaction roll, your attack and your target's action resolve simultaneously.
Prerequisite: Blazing Speed, High Noon, Iaijutsu, and Lightning Draw
Warning Shot
Declare that you are using warning shot and make an attack normally, including the target's damage resistance test if applicable. The target does not take damage however, but is instead cowed by fear. Targets that would have received a light, moderate, or serious wound take a 1,2,or 3 point penalty to their actions as long as they remain within your attack range and you choose to hold them at bay. Targets that would have suffered a deadly wound will surrender, freeze or flee similarly at your command, though this effect is broken if your target is attacked. You suffer a +2 TN modifier due to distraction for each target you are holding at bay. Obviously this works better with ranged weapons. Does not function if target's shields are up.
Prerequisite: Good at this (weapon skill), Charisma 8 or Intimidate 5
Concussive Shot
You can knock enemies down and deal stun damage with normal bullets. Roll your attack normally with a +2 TN modifier. The weapons base damage code is reduced by one step, but the weapon deals stun rather than physical damage.

Prerequisite: Firearm skill 6

Misdirection
Be it through bluffing, sleight of
hand, or some other means of deceit, you can place people at a
disadvantage.
As a complex action, make a stealth
check against a TN equal to an opponent's intelligence. That opponent
resists by rolling intelligence against a TN of ½ your stealth
ranks. If you have net successes equal to at least ½ your opponent's
intelligence, then that opponent suffers a +2 penalty on checks made
directly against you for a number of checks equal to your successes,
or a number of turns equal to your charisma, whichever comes first.

opponent. Instead, if you win, you avoid the attack and move away
from your opponent a number of meters equal to your net successes.
Prerequisite:Stalker, Graceful, Stealth 6,

Tangle Up
You can tangle opponents in their

skill when attacking or attacked, if you succeed, you don't deal
damage, but pull bits of your opponent's attire out-of-place, over
their eyes, or into awkward positions, or even tie them up in
cast-off bits of what you were wearing, imposing a TN penalty equal
to your net successes. At your choice, this can be either a vision

one.

You may use your net successes either to stage the damage of the
grenade, or to increase the TN of the quickness test. In either case,
the grenade explodes at the end of your next action, or your
opponent's next action, whichever comes last. You can attempt this as
a reaction when attacked in melee, but suffer a +2 TN modifier on
your unarmed test. You can also use this skill to plant things other
than grenades, but such objects don't explode, so there's no point.

instead decide to continue your ruse, you may remain limp and
motionless where you've fallen. You can slow your breathing and
heart-rate to fool untrained observers, but anyone who examines you
closely may roll biotech against a TN of your stealth skill rank to
notice that you're alive, or against a TN of your
Stealth+Intelligence to notice that you're feigning unconsciousness.

successes against the attack's initial dodge or resistance TN. If
this allows you to survive the attack, you may make an immediate

multiplier. If you escape undetected, anyone who examines the area of
your “death” finds a piece of your clothing draped over a

the target's thoughts, nor is it compelled to respond to you, though you
