Editing Genius The Transgression/Chapter Three:Systems and Foundations (section)

===Role:===
Members of The Union of Artifice are often outsiders, loners, and weirdos, as close to rogues as proper members of the Peerage can get. But they still join collaboratives, and within one they make excellent urban scouts, investigators, and intrusion experts. Not every Artificer can double as a low-down dirty thief, but many have a knack for mundane machines, especially those centered around security. Many also have one foot in the world of the street and connections with the culture there, allowing them to get information from mundane sources that might escape even the most polished Director. In addition to this role, the sheer speed with which they can build wonders can make them important in emergencies as walking armories. Many a collaborative has been saved because their Artificer slapped together a weapon before the bad guys could 
kick in the door.
