Signature traits
- Redline. Physical hits only do half damage and you hit harder, but you can't hack or cast while redlined.
- Pain Editor. While redlined, a killing blow might not keep you down.
Fighting style: Redline: a rage that hits harder and shrugs off blows · Reckless Overdrive: drop your guard to hit harder still.
Specialisations (planned): Path of the Stim, Path of the Beast-Splice, Path of the Storm Battery.
