Through specialized training you have learned the art of crafting fortifications and alchemical explosives for the battlefield. When you were not building walls and constructing bridges, you were destroying them. Your careful assembly of explosives has given you a steady hand and a detailed knowledge of alchemy. With each engagement you learned more about how to exploit the weaknesses of your enemy's fortifications while reinforcing those of your allies. Where others see a wall, you see a pile of rubble.
