Engineer

Brushing her fingers along the rig’s control panel, a fervent rush of energy courses through the human’s body, pulsing in sync with the harmonious hum of her solorium implant. With a weave of his fingers, a dwarf sends a small army of attack drones to blanket the field with laser fire, laying waste to the approaching raiders. A human soldier transmits silent commands to an army of nanomachines designed to seal the wounds of his fellow officers. Engineers are starborns who make use of modern day inventions, robotics, computers, and chemistry. Combined with the use of solorium, their technical skills are open to an infinite realm of possibilities. Their personalized rig translates their thoughts into streams of data that weave into system commands. No matter their path, they constantly improve by focusing on their training, tools, and technical know-how to defy the odds.

MASTERS OF SCIENCE

Engineers devote themselves to a particular path of study, often viewing the universe and the living creatures within it in a very technical sense. Their awakened intuition allows them to see the structural patterns and connections between all things, almost as if the universe were written in a code only they can read. The rise of many cosmic threats, both organic and inorganic, has led many engineers down the path of a defender of worlds. Viral plagues, rogue mechanical beasts, and nefarious cybercriminals are just a few examples of what they stand against. Engineers tend to keep in contact with others of their field of study, forming scientific local or online groups

INSTITUTION

Most engineers start their lives in service of an institution or perhaps as part of a team as maintenance workers later realizing that they have potential well beyond their peers and become an engineer. To prepare for this new duty, candidates typically receive instruction from their institution, or a specialized school devoted to a specific field of technology. Some institutions are secret and remain cut off from the world where they work on black operation projects that are sometimes necessary but otherwise illegal. Other institutions can be open, and some of them dedicated to medical science. What is noteworthy about the institution you studied at?

SECRETS OF UNIVERSE

Engineers must grapple with limitations of technology and how it all fits together in the great span of the galaxy. Even as advanced as the galaxy is not everything has been explained and many thinkers are often left wondering about how the intergalactic civilizations have shaped the universe and what are the secrets behind their advanced technology. If you haven't considered this aspect of your character yet, see the table enterprises for some possibilities, or use them for inspiration. Your deep thirst for the secrets of advanced technology might involve something you did (or are doing), or it could be rooted in the way you feel about the galaxy and your role in it.

FUSION OF FORCES

Engineers have access to a vast array of materials, all forged or powered by solorium, the mysterious energy harvested from the Crucibles what’s a crucible. An internal solorium implant, most often placed near the brain, grants them both a physical and neural link to their arsenal of tools. Through the use of a form of arcane power known as Forging, an engineer is able to manipulate these resources, instantly crafting nanobots, assault and medical drones, and plasma weapons. These techniques can also directly alter or deconstruct matter and provide bio enhancements to themselves or their allies.

CREATING AN ENGINEER

When you create your Engineer, think about what sort of scientific profession your character would follow. Would they study biology or chemistry? Or perhaps their study focuses more on physical mechanics. How or why did you choose to delve into this field? Is it connected to your character’s history or personality?

ABILITY SCORE

It is recommended you make Wisdom your highest ability score, followed by Constitution. Intelligence is also useful for many of your skills.

EQUIPMENT

You start with the following equipment, in addition to the equipment granted by your background:

FORGING

Your tools and training allow you to perform various techniques to produce astonishing effects.

PRIME TALENTS

At 1st level, you know three prime techniques of your choice from the engineer’s techniques list. You learn additional talents at higher levels as shown in the Prime Techniques column of the Engineer table.

FORGING AND THE RIG

Each engineer has a set of tools and materials they use to employ their special powers. Often referred to as a “rig”, it comes in various forms but is almost always the size of a small pack or box. Every engineer is fitted with an implant that allows them to communicate directly with their rig. Aside from tools, there are two features that are universal amongst all rigs. Raw solorium. Each rig has a small supply of raw solorium, which not only supplies power to several of the rig’s operations, it also allows the engineer to craft arcane and mechanical materials on the fly to serve as the components required for their more powerful techniques. It is in limited supply, but much like weapons powered by solorium cores, the raw material regenerates after a period of time. Micro-Drones. Each rig has a set of coin-sized, spherical drones that the engineer controls directly. Though not always used, the drone is an invaluable tool that can multitask with the engineer and produce effects at a distance. Crafted from pure solorium, they can take on whichever color or texture the engineer chooses. They are hard to hit and destroy, but are easily replaceable if such a situation arises.

FORGING PREPARATION

The Engineer table shows how many tech slots you have to use your techniques of Rank 1 and higher. To use one of these techniques, you must expend a slot of the technique’s level or higher. The tech slots represent the supply of raw solorium and equipment available to power your techniques. You regain all expended tech slots when you finish a long rest. You prepare a list of engineer techniques that are available for you to use, choosing from the engineer powers list. When you do so, choose a number of engineer techniques equal to your Wisdom modifier + your engineer level (minimum of one technique). The techniques must be of a level for which you have tech slots. For example, if you are a 3rd-level engineer, you have four Rank 1 and two Rank 2 tech slots. With a Wisdom of 16, your list of prepared techniques can include six techniques of Ranks 1 and 2, in any combination. If you prepare the Rank 1 mend technique, you can use it by expending a Rank 1 or Rank 2 slot. Using this technique doesn’t remove it from your list of prepared techniques. You can change your list of prepared techniques when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of techniques requires time spent in building and allocating resources. This should take at least 1 minute per technique rank for each technique on your list.

FORGING ABILITY

Wisdom is your forging ability for your engineer techniques. A tool is useless without the proper judgment on where to use it. An engineer’s forte is not just based on knowledge, but on being able to use that knowledge effectively, timely, and in a reserved manner. You use your Wisdom whenever a technique refers to your forging ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a technique you use and when making an attack roll with one.

Forging Save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier

Forging attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier

CONVENTIONAL FORGING

You can use a technique conventionally if the technique has the conventional tag and you have the technique prepared.

TECHNICAL SPECIALTY

Choose one specialty with which you focus your skills as an engineer. Each specialty is detailed at the end of the class description. Your choice grants you specific abilities when you choose it at 1st level, as well as additional abilities 2nd, 6th, and 8th, and 17th level.

SPECIALITY TECHNIQUES

Each specialty also comes with associated techniques that you gain at the levels noted in the specialty description. Once you gain a specialty technique, you always have it prepared and it doesn’t count against the number of techniques you can prepare each day.

CALL RIG

At 1st level, you can use your implant to remain in contact with your rig at all times. With your reaction, you can sense the general location of your rig as long as it is within 500 miles of you. You can sense the direction and can confirm the exact distance once you’re within 1000 feet. Regardless of distance, you can use your bonus action and expend a tech slot to call upon your rig to phase shift instantly into your hand. Once you reach 5th level, summoning your rig no longer requires you to expend a tech slot. If your rig is permanently lost or destroyed, you can forge a new one by spending 8 hours of time and 500 cu in materials. This can be performed during a long rest. Once a new rig is forged, your previous rig ceases to function and becomes a set of mechanic’s tools.

RIG EXPANSION

At 2nd level, you gain the ability to use the raw energy in your rig to fuel additional effects. You start with two such effects: Electromagnetic Pulse and an effect that is defined by your specialty. Depending on your specialty, you may gain additional effects as you gain in level. When you use your Rig Expansion, you choose which effect to create. You must then finish a short or long rest to use your Rig Expansion again. Some Rig Expansion effects require saving throws. When you use such an effect from this class, the DC equals your technician Forging save DC. Beginning at 6th level, you can use your Rig Expansion twice between rests.

RIG EXPANSION: ELECTROMAGNETIC PULSE

As an action, you use your rig to send an explosive wave of electromagnetic energy that debilitates and disorients robots, drones, and any creature with the automaton or construct creature type. Each of these targets within 30 feet of you and with less than three-quarters cover must make an Intelligence saving throw. If the target fails its saving throw, it is impaired until the end of your next turn or until it takes any damage. This ability also affects mechanical creatures controlled by a live operator. An impaired target cannot take any reactions and its movement is reduced to 0. The only action available to the target is the dodge action. In addition, any unshielded computer panel or electronic device not worn by another

RIG EXPANSION: HARNESS POWER

You can expend a use of your Rig to fuel your techniques. As a bonus action you regain one expended tech slot, the rank of which can be no higher than half your proficiency bonus (rounded up). The number of times you can use this feature is based on the level you've reached in this class: 2nd level, once; 6th level, twice; and 18th level, thrice. You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

ABILITY SCORE IMPROVEMENTS

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

PRIME TECHNIQUE VERSATILITY

Whenever you reach a level in this class which grants the Ability Score Improvement feature, you can replace one prime technique you have learned from the Engineer technique list with another prime technique from the Engineer technique list.

MECHANICAL DEVASTATION

At 5th level, when an automaton or construct fails its saving throw against your Electromagnetic Pulse feature, it is instantly destroyed if its challenge rating is at or below a certain threshold, as shown in the following table.

Engineer Level	Destroys Targets of CR
5th	1/2 or lower
8th	1 or lower
11th	2 or lower
14th	3 or lower
17th	4 or lower

THE JURY RIG

Beginning at 10th level, you can instinctively commune with your rig to devise some form of aid in a dire situation when you’re in desperate need of one. Describe the assistance you seek, and roll percentile dice. If you roll a number equal to or lower than your engineer level, you instinctively come up with an on the fly effect to assist you. The GM chooses the nature of this benefit; often in the form of an effect generated by an engineer technique or specialty power. If your roll is successful, you can’t use this feature again for 7 days. Otherwise, you can use it again after you finish a long rest. At 20th level, your rig provides you with assistance automatically, no roll required.

TECHNICAL SPECIALTIES

Engineers come in all types, each devoted to a particular field of study in which they specialize. These specialty fields provide the engineer with additional abilities that correspond with their chosen path. Where Engineer is a broad term, your specialty is what defines how others view your expertise as well as your title. Your choice of specialty may also be considered your career if you so choose. Engineers are considered a necessity for many of the different societies scattered throughout the galaxy. Some even establish trade centers from which to offer goods and services.

As an action, your rig deploys a micro-drone that generates aggressive audiovisual stimuli towards one cyborg, primordial, protean, or netherant of your choice that can see or hear you and is within 30 feet of you. The target must make a Wisdom saving throw, if the creature fails its saving throw, it is frightened for 1 minute or until it takes any damage. A frightened creature must spend its turns trying to move as far away from you as it can, and it can't willingly end its move in a space within 30 feet of you. It also can't take reactions. For its action, it can use only the dash action or try to escape from an effect that prevents it from moving. If there's nowhere to move, then the creature can use the Dodge action. After you reach 5th level, when a creature fails its saving throw against your Solorium Dossier feature, the creature is trapped in a pocket dimension for 1 minute (as in the banishment spell, no concentration required) if it isn't in its realm of origin, and its challenge rating is at or beneath a certain threshold, as shown below.

RIG EXPANSION: QUICK DOWNLOAD

Starting at 2nd level, your rig enables you to command any city utility within 30 feet of you to either work perfectly or shut down entirely for 1 minute (your choice). Additionally, each hostile creature within 30 feet of you must make a Charisma saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is knocked prone or restrained (your choice) by hazards such as entangling wires, high-pressure water erupting from fire hydrants, pavement collapsing to unseen potholes, and so on. A restrained creature can escape by making a successful Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check against your spell save DC. This effect is entirely local and affects only utilities within 30 feet of you. Determination of what utilities are available within range and how the physical effects of those utilities manifest are left to the DM.

BLOCK WATCH

Starting at 6th level, your awareness while in the city extends preternaturally.
