Now now now, it wouldn’t be as broken as it sounds. I think this could actually be pretty funny.

Clbum Name: Hacker

Secondary Stat: Skillz

Basic Idea: Hackers specialize in abilities which inflict “hacks” on threads and boards. Hacks act like status effects, temporarily messing with the board’s ability to fight back in some way. Types of hacks would include…

Spambot: Works like Poison. Enemy board takes a small amount of damage every time they attack you (due to a spam post).

Lag: Works like Slow. Enemy board randomly misses turns due to lag.

Crash: Works like Sleep. Board won’t attack again until you use an attack or ability (basically, anything not an item)

Keylogger: Works like Regen. You gain back a little ego each turn. (This would probably be the Hacker’s only healing ability.)

And many more. Note that the hacker’s abilities would be based around inflicting these hacks, not dealing damage directly (‘cept for maybe one or two abilities, like “Brag” or “Take Credit”.) The Hacker deals damage by having a very high, natural Offense stat.

Equipment: Cooling Fans (expensive, increase Skillz reserve) and T-Shirts (Increase stats…this could be something else)

Basically…

Strengths: With very high offense and crippling hacks, the hacker can decimate a board in mere moments.

Weaknesses: With very low defense and ego, they can be decimated just as easily if caught off-guard. Also, hacks are expensive (in terms of Skillz) and reset when the thread dies, so you can’t just pile on all your hacks for every thread. You’ll have to change it up by situation. Also, their equipment is expensive.
