Combat
Engineers can use all types of armour but may not use shields. Due to their short height and focus on working with tools, engineers can only use small or normal sized blunt weapons.
Detect Construction Tricks
As experts in construction, engineers have a 3-in-6 chance of being able to detect new construction, sliding walls, or sloping passages when searching. This rises to 4-in-6 at level 4 and 5-in-6 at level 8.
Detect Room Traps
Due to their expertise with construction, engineers have a 2-in-6 chance of detecting non-magical room traps when searching.
Infravision
Engineers have infravision out to 60’.
Tinkering
An engineer’s familiarity with machinery allows him to attempt the following:
Open non-magical locks or disarm non-magical traps with a 2-in-6 chance rising to 3-in-6 at 4th level and 4-in-6 at 8th level.
Fix mechanical devices at a 1-in-6 chance in a time period decided by the referee. This rises to 2-in-6 chance at 2nd level, 3-in-6 chance at 4th level, 4-in-6 chance at 6th level and 5-in-6 chance at 8th level.
Tools
An engineer must possess and maintain a set of engineers tools.
Reaching 8th level
A guild may only have one guildmaster so to reach 8th level an engineer must defeat the current guildmaster in a contest in alignment with their guilds laws.
Once successful an engineer becomes master of their guild with all the resources and responsibilities that come with the role.
