Ever since a young lad, you have been drawn to creation; inventing technology has driven you more than becoming a squire. You know your time on this plane is not long enough so you spend every second inventing and improving the world with your unique tech, even forgetting to take care of yourself. Your workshop is always a mess, just like yourself, spare parts and half-finished inventions clutter every corner. Whatever the case, you know the best way to make a mark is to leave a lot of physical things behind which others appreciate. With your keen and practiced eyes, you can now take advantage of the surrounding landscape to salvage parts and construct whatever your creativity decides upon for the situation.
- Languages: Spending your life inventing your constantly analyzing gnomish blueprints, you become fluent in gnomish.
Your experience fixing odds and ends as well as your familiarity with a wide variety of tools grants you the ability to make quick repairs on damaged equipment. You can spend two hours during a long rest or downtime working on a damaged object using tinker’s tools. Once you’ve finished, anyone using the object for its intended purpose can ignore any penalties that arise from damage to the object. These repairs are temporary and last a number of days equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1). You can repair the item again after the first repairs wear off, but each additional time you jury rig the object reduces the number of days the repairs last by 1.
Eventually, the object must be replaced or professionally repaired by a skilled craftsman with the appropriate tools. Additionally, you can jury rig minor mechanical objects such as locks or simple traps. It takes two hours of work with tinker’s tools, and you need access to a supply of materials. Any such object you create is of fair quality at best and doesn’t last forever. A jury-rigged object functions for a number of days equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1) before it jams, falls apart or otherwise ceases to function.
Tinkers are welcomed in rustic communities. You can trade work for food and lodging by doing odd jobs and minor repairs for people.
Suggested Characteristics
Artisans are among the most ordinary people in the world — until they set down their tools and take up an adventuring career. They understand the value of hard work and the importance of community, but they’re vulnerable to sins of greed and covetousness. You have learned to survive on your own, and so will not quickly become attached to other people. You are ready to move on at any time, knowing you do not need others' help in order to thrive.
