Tinker
Tinkers are gifted crafters who create and modify mechanisms in new and surprising ways. At their core, they are driven by intellectual creativity, a talent with technology, and an insatiable fervor to build. No challenge is too difficult and no mechanism is too broken; they can tinker their way out of any situation. In an adventuring party, Tinkers are the experts in building things or sabotaging them, in understanding construction and fixing items.

Perception
Social Status
Isolated small settlements may treat Tinker skills as suspicious or wondrous, but larger towns usually have more experience with them. They may find their work in demand and well-rewarded, but larger settlements often have rules about constructs and the legal culpability of those who animate or detonate them. Learn before you act.
