*Combat
Medicine - This specail ability has a dual role,
it operates at half value with Awareness/Notice
and initiative as well as Diagnose and Medicine,
but only in combat situations (he is not a full
fleged doctor, but some one to stabalize the
victim before the "real" doc shows up i.e.
paramedic)
Nomad Scout- Like
the rangers of old, a scouts job is to find the
safest route for his nomad family to take. The
scout will go ahead, evaluate the terrain and
population of an area. They will also go into the
cities looking for food, medical, and general
supplies.They will mostly use motocycles as they
are the easiest to maneuver around on rough
terrain.

Pitfighter -
One of the most popular bloodsports in
the 2020 world is pit fighting. Using the
underground network (pit fighting is
illegal in most jurisdictions) fights are
set up between 2 to 8 fighters at a time
last one standing is declared the winner.
Even though illegal, there are still
rules that are followed, the fights are
arranged by class of fighter, and you
wont be thrown into a fight with a higher
class unless requested by the fighter.
Class one is light cyberware, maybe one
cyberlimb no more. Class two is
everything up to full borg, heavy
nanotech, body plating, up to three
cyberlimbs, etc. Class three is full
conversion Borgs. When they are not
fighting, Pitfighters double as
bodyguards for their "agents".

NetTech
- When you were growing up you didn't brag about
the number of horses you had under the hood of
your hotrod, you bragged about the MHz of your
processor, the amount of RAM & how you
tweaked your Computer to outperform anything in
its class. The case to your computer was
somewhere in the closet and you were always
replacing cards to optimize the performance by
another 1%. While doing this you also played
around with programming and netrunning, but your
love was the hardware running the software.

*Crosswire - Similar to "jury-rig", but
only works with hardware related to computers.
This skill also works as interface at half value.
Pay scale is the same as a Netrunner
Information Runner (Courier)
Found on the streets of the Cyberpunk world these low-level fixers can be seen moving
information from one location to another. Some are independent, but most work for various
couriers services.

[NEW!!!] Extraction Specialist
Some jobs require that a person be "rescued" whether they want to be rescued or not.
That is where the Extraction Specialist comes into play. Their skills help them to
infiltrate even the most fortified complexes and retrieve their target.
While it is important that they get in, they must also remove the target,
preferably in one piece. They are not quite as combat hardened as solos, but
their training will allow them to maneuver around sight unseen.

Vagabond - (Note: should be considered an
NPC specialty) Many people in the Cyberpunk
world could be considered vagabonds, poor, no
home, having to beg for or scavenge up food. They
seem to be everywhere, bus stops, airports, city
parks, and street corners. They tug at your cold
emotionless heart trying to get some money for
their next bite of kibble.

*Scrounge - This is the
ability that allows one to live on the street
without any real means of income (begging for
money / food, digging through others' trash
finding something of value). You may add this
skill to awareness / notice in non combat
situations as well as persuasion and fast talk
(if some one is willing to stop and listen)At 2
you are the typical bum on the street, at 5 you
know enough to get out of the rain and have made
contacts, and at 8 you could be equated with Fred
Sanford.(you have done well with your junk!)
