Engineer

Engineers can range from craftsmen to scientist. The following are Training for the Engineer.

Advanced Training - Advanced Engineering

Prerequisite: Reconfigure

Benefit: An Engineer gains access to Advanced Training. You also gain any one of the Item Creation feats.

Advanced Training – Strange Science

Prerequisite: Advanced Training - Advanced Engineering

Benefit: An Engineer knows how to create an item with a special ability the same as you would a magic item. The magic item creation feats are required and the appropriate craft skill is used in place of the Spellcraft skill.

These special abilities are based in technology rather magic, but with the same game modifications. The GM will decide if a certain magical effect can be replicated in a technology version.

For all skill checks, the appropriate craft skill is used instead of the Spellcraft skill.

If a certain spell is required to create a special ability, you use any spell, but the spell level is base on the chart below using the character's Craft skill ranks.

Craft Ranks	Spell Level
10	0
12	0
13	1
14	1
15	2
16	2
17	3

25	7
26	7
27	8
28	8
29	9
30	9

To use the spell to create a special ability, you must make a Craft (skill required) check DC 10 + spell level.

All engineered special abilities items are considered non-magical.

Keep in mind to convert all GP prices to USD: 1 silver piece is to 1 US dollar. Example: 1 gold piece is equal to 10 US dollars

Benefit: An Engineer receives credit for an engineering breakthrough that earns him recognition of his or her peers.

The Engineer gains 10 points in Fame with a Faction.This can be taken again.

Engineering Improvisation

Benefit: An Engineer gains the ability to improvise solutions using common objects and engineering know-how. This ability lets the Engineer create objects in a dramatic situation quickly and cheaply, but that have a limited duration.

By combining common objects with a Craft check that corresponds to the function desired, the Engineer can build a tool or device to deal with any situation.

Electronic devices, special tools, weapons, mechanical devices and more can be built with engineering improvisation.

It takes a full-round action to make an object with engineering improvisation. The object, when put into use, lasts for a number of rounds equal to the Engineer's ranks in the Craft skill (or for each Hero Point used) before it breaks down. It can't be repaired.

Improve Kit

Prerequisite: See below

Benefit: An Engineer can improve any skill tool kit with an extra +2 circumstance bonus. The Engineer will need to the same skill as the tool kit in order to improve the tool kit.

For all skill checks, the appropriate craft skill is used instead of the Spellcraft skill.

Engineered Special Abilities items are considered non-magical.

The Engineer must spend 1 hour working with the item to temporary upgrade it. There is no cost, but the Engineered Special Ability only last for 1 round or use, per level or Hero Point spent.

Reconfigure Weapon

Benefit: An Engineer can reconfigure a melee or ranged weapon, improving one aspect of it. Reconfiguring a weapon requires 1 hour of work and a successful craft check (DC 20); reconfiguring a mastercraft weapon is slightly harder (DC 20 + the weapon's mastercraft bonus feature). An Engineer may take 10 or take 20 on this check.

The reconfiguration imposes a –1 penalty on attack rolls made with the weapon but grants one of the following benefits indefinitely:

• Changed Rate of Fire: The reconfiguration changes the weapon's rate of fire. A semiautomatic-only weapon switches to an automatic-only weapon, or vice versa. This benefit applies only to a ranged weapon with either a semiautomatic or automatic fire setting.
• Greater Ammo Capacity: The reconfigured weapon can hold 50% more ammunition than normal. This benefit applies only to weapons that take ammunition.
• Greater Concealment: The reconfiguration grants a +2 bonus on Sleight of Hand checks made to conceal the reconfigured weapon.
• Greater Range Increment: The reconfigured weapon's range increment increases by 1 range increment. This benefit applies only to weapons with range increments.
• Signature Shooter: The weapon is reconfigured for a single individual's use only and is treated as a unique exotic weapon. Anyone else who uses the weapon takes a –4 non-proficient penalty on attack rolls.

Weapons can be reconfigured multiple times; each time a weapon is reconfigured, it imparts a new benefit. Undoing an Engineer's weapon reconfiguration requires 1 hour and a successful Disable Device check (DC 20 + the Engineer's class level).

Sabotage

Benefit: The Engineer can sabotage an object so that it operates poorly. The Engineer must succeed on a Disable Device check (DC 20) to accomplish the downgrade and sabotaging a mastercraft object is slightly harder (DC 20 + the mastercraft object's bonus feature). Noticing the Engineer's handiwork without first testing the sabotaged device requires a successful Perception check (DC = the Engineer's Disable Device check result). Fixing the sabotaged item requires a successful Craft check.

• Sabotaging a Device: As a full-round action, the Engineer can reconfigure so that anyone who uses it suffers a penalty equal to the Engineer's class level on skill checks made to use the device.
• Sabotaging a Weapon: As a full-round action, the Engineer can sabotage a weapon so that it has the broken condition the next time it is used. A sabotaged weapon cannot be used effectively until repaired. This use of sabotage also applies to vehicles.

Superior Repair

Prerequisite: Engineering Improvisation

Benefit: An Engineer can convert a non-masterwork item into its masterwork equivalent.

A normal firearm becomes a masterwork firearm, a suit of armor becomes a masterwork suit of armor, a set of tools becomes masterwork tools, etc.

The Infiltrator's attack deals extra damage (called "precision damage") anytime her target would be denied a Dexterity bonus to AC (whether the target actually has a Dexterity bonus or not) or when the Infiltrator flanks her target. This extra damage is 1d6 and increases by 1d6 every two levels thereafter. Should the Infiltrator score a critical hit with a covert attack, this extra damage is not multiplied. Ranged attacks can count as covert attacks only if the target is within 30 feet.

With a weapon that deals nonlethal damage (like a sap, whip, or an unarmed strike) an Infiltrator can make a sneak attack that deals nonlethal damage instead of lethal damage. He cannot use a weapon that deals lethal damage to deal nonlethal damage in a covert attack, not even with the usual –4 penalty.

Benefit: The Investigator can know if someone is knowingly lying.

Once a day, per ranks in the Intimidation skill (or for one Hero Point) you question the target, backed up by the threat of pain. You may ask one question per two ranks in the Intimidation skill.

The target makes a Will save whenever the Personality uses this talent against him. As long as the target continues to fail the Will save, the Personality can continue taking full-round actions to worsen the target's attitude toward a designated character. When the target's attitude drops to hostile, he or he attacks the designated character.

A successful Will save doesn't restore previous attitude shifts, but it does render the target immune for 24 hours to further attempts by the Personality to sow distrust. Talk Down

Benefit: A Personality can talk her way out of trouble.

Prior to the start of hostilities or during combat, for one Hero Point spent, the Personality can talk down an opponent. The target must be able to hear her voice.

That opponent immediately stops fighting and reverts to an indifferent attitude regarding the Personality. Any hostile action by the Personality or by one of the Personality's allies, directed at the opponent allows the opponent to act as he or he sees fit.

To initiate this talent, the Personality must spend a full-round action. Then the opponent makes a Will saving throw.
