Whether due to trouble with the law, unpleasant memories, or a simple preference for being alone, you have been isolated for many years. As a result, you have had to find the means to feed and support yourself without any outside connections. You have developed an ability to craft intricate devices from simple materials: traps for hunting, weapons for security, machines that can expedite travel enormously. All this is made using only what is around you, and with minimal use of magic. Now, as you leave your isolated home to interact with others for the first time in years, these skills will be a boon to you. 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.
- Tool Proficiencies: You are proficient in your choice of artisan's tool kit.
- Equipment: Your choice of two artisan's tool kits, your choice of Dungeoneer's Pack or Explorer's Pack, two of your choice of non-combat Equipment.
Once per day, you can make use of the materials around you to construct one piece of Equipment, be it a weapon or nearly anything else (at your Dungeon Master's discretion) that you deem necessary for the situation. The piece of Equipment created will fall apart due to rushed craftmanship at the end of the day.
