- Mechanical

This skill allows a character to build mechanical devices from scratch, including engines and engine parts, weapons, armor, and other gadgets. When building a mechanical device from scratch, the character describes the kind of device he or she wants to construct; then the Gamemaster decides if the device is simple, moderate, complex, or advanced compared to current technology. A Player can find a list of possible items to construct in the General_Equipment page.

To attempt to identify a mechanical item a Character with Physical Sciences Skill can preform a skill check with a DC of 10 to determine the item in question.

Either check only takes 1 min. If possible a Take 10 or Take 20 is an automatic success.

More rules regarding crafting, the costs, and the time it takes can be found here.
