Hey, just wondering; Exactly what otaku can specialize in with their channels..
I know the base skills, but I don't know the specializations for each that are available
I don't have my books here and am wracking my brain trying to come up with all of them for an Otaku of mine.

Thankie in advance

You can mimic any operational utility with a channel specialization. Access (Deception) is always a favorite.

Well, yeah... but I'm too lazy to do all of that typing ;)

And something that's been bugging me, how does Camo work as a channel? Do you get the bonus from having the utility active as well as the boost for the system test? Or do you just get the system test bonus?

Hmm...

Camo is used to lower the numbers for the Redirect Datatrail operation, as well as adding it's rating to the number of turns it takes for Trace IC or Track utilties to find the user.

In otaku, I think they just get the former when they specialize.

I can't think of anything, really, to add. Except maybe the continual debate about needing two datajacks to transfer data and Increase Attribute spells that can pump up your Otaku.
