Memory Recovery grants the ability to temporarily gain proficiency in a skill of a character’s choosing, it offers a wide range of tactical and practical opportunities.
The Memory Recovery feat allows Android characters to adapt to changing situations and challenges. They can quickly acquire new skills as needed, making them more versatile and effective in various roles. Characters can use the feat to specialize in skills that are not normally associated with their class or background. For example, a combat-focused character might temporarily gain proficiency in a social skill to negotiate with an enemy, or a diplomatic character might acquire proficiency in a knowledge skill for insight. The feat can be used to solve puzzles, overcome obstacles, or explore new environments. By gaining proficiency in relevant skills, characters can find creative solutions to challenges that would otherwise be difficult or impossible. The Memory Recovery feat can provide interesting opportunities. Characters might discover hidden talents or abilities that they were unaware of, leading to unexpected twists and turns in their stories.
The proficiency gained through the Memory Recovery feat is temporary and lasts only until the character prepares again. This means that characters must still carefully plan their actions and prioritize the skills they want to acquire. The feat cannot be used to gain proficiency in skills that the character already has. This limits the feat's effectiveness for characters already invested heavily in specific skills.
Memory Recovery Feat 1
You retain instincts and fragmentary memories from the androids who previously occupied your body or from ancient programming embedded in your system. During your daily preparations, you can tap into these archived memories to become trained in one skill of your choice. This proficiency lasts until you prepare again. Since this proficiency is temporary, you can’t use it as a prerequisite for a skill increase or a permanent character option like a feat.

Tenured Troubleshooter Tradesperson 1
Tenured Troubleshooters are recently awakened androids; they possess a latent ability to tap into the fragmented memories and experiences of their body's previous occupants. This allows them to temporarily "borrow" skills and knowledge they haven't personally acquired, making them adaptable and resourceful problem-solvers.
Despite their synthetic nature, Tenured Troubleshooters often exhibit remnants of their past "lives," which can manifest as quirks in personality, specialized knowledge, or even fleeting emotions. This connection to the past adds depth and intrigue to their character, making them more than just mindless machines.
Tenured Troubleshooters can fulfill a variety of roles. They might serve as enigmatic allies, offering valuable insights or unexpected solutions to the player characters' problems. Alternatively, they could act as rivals or antagonists, and their borrowed skills and knowledge could make them formidable opponents.
