Engineer

You have long had a passionate interest in the mechanical sciences, having learned from the great Architects of Engineering in the city. Overwhelming thoughts on theory and design smother your mind, conceiving machines for both the protection of cities and sieges. From mechanical weaponry to mighty constructs, airships and explosives, your journals are filled from cover to cover with many ideas, blueprints and schematics. From studying in the Engineers Guild, to time spent learning in the Workshops and Clockwork-Foundries, your hunger for mechanical knowledge is never satisfied.

Skill Proficiencies: Investigation and one of the following: History, Arcana or Perception.

Tool Proficiencies: Tinker's Tools and an artisan tool of your choice.

Equipment: Clothes, Common, Workshop apron, Tinker's tools or one type of artisan's tools of your choice, a coffer containing 100 gp and 1D6 Engineering books.

Suggested Characteristics

Engineers are handcrafted through the many tomes and schematics that they absorb, their vast imaginations the doorway to either success or failure. The very constructs and machinations they put to paper are the very future they see for the world, and as such, work ad nauseam to make those designs a reality.
