Scavenger 2.0

The scavenger is a fairly straightforward template.  It's niche is "all things technological," though with a focus on acquisition and repair.  All relevant skills are 16 to 18, which is more than competent enough.  The previous template was a bit long on points by accident.  The final version has the gold standard of 25 points of advantages.

For power-ups, I've chosen Cyberneticist, which will augment the Scavenger's mastery of technology into mastery of computers and robots.  It should be noted that the Cyberneticist talent and the Artificer talent together amounts to 15/level, which means it might be worthwhile to exchange those points for a straight +4 to IQ.  Next, we have Relic Hunter, focusing the scavenger on turning his natural acquisitiveness for ancient technology and artifacts of power. Finally, for those artificers who want to acquire technology by any means necessary, the thief specializes in high manual dexterity and thievery.
