Your deep understanding of science and technology grants you a profound advantage in utilizing and manipulating advanced machinery and scientific principles. Whether crafting inventions, hacking computer systems, or analyzing complex data, your expertise in science and technology sets you apart as a master innovator and problem solver.
Benefit:
-
Technical Proficiency: You gain proficiency in one set of artisan's tools or one type of technological equipment, such as tinkering tools, hacker's kit, or engineer's tools. Additionally, you gain proficiency in the Investigation skill if you don't already have it.
-
Technological Ingenuity: Your keen intellect allows you to quickly adapt to technological challenges. Once per short rest, you can add your Intelligence modifier to any ability check made to interact with or manipulate technology, including hacking into computer systems, repairing machinery, or analyzing scientific data.
Rolls:
-
Tool Proficiency Check: When using your chosen set of artisan's tools or technological equipment, make a skill check using the appropriate tool proficiency. Roll 1d20 + proficiency bonus + relevant ability modifier (usually Intelligence).
-
Investigation Check: When examining a crime scene, analyzing data, or searching for clues, make an Investigation check. Roll 1d20 + Intelligence modifier + proficiency bonus if you have proficiency in the Investigation skill.
-
Technological Ingenuity: When using your technological ingenuity, add your Intelligence modifier to any ability check made to interact with or manipulate technology.
For example, if you're attempting to repair a malfunctioning robot, you would make a Tool Proficiency Check using your tinkering tools. If you encounter a locked computer system that you need to hack into, you would make an Investigation Check to assess the security measures and then use your Technological Ingenuity to boost your hacking attempt.
