Special Abilities & Complications
Arcane Machinist: Techno-Wizards begin with a variant of the Gadgeteer Edge which functions quite differently through the creation of arcane Gadgets. As often as half her Smarts die per session, and as an action, the Techno-Wizard produces a Gadget replicating any power available to Techno-Wizards (and Power Modifiers available to the creator). Creating a Gadget requires a Techno-Wizardry skill check at −1 per Rank the power is above her own. TW Gadgets have their own PPE pool equal to half their creator’s normal maximum PPE pool (round down); with a raise the device gains +5 PPE to its pool. The Gadget can only be activated using its own PPE pool—once used up (or at the end of the session) it ceases to function.
Cybernetics: Despite their love of technology, even Techno-Wizards suffer penalties to their magic from implanted cybernetics.
Device Dependent: A Techno-Wizard must have gear and tools, her Gizmos to use her powers, and parts to create her Gadgets. Without these items she cannot make her magic work.
Machine Maestro: A Techno-Wizard can interface with machines by touch—including vehicles, weapons, computers, electronic devices, and robots. Machine Maestro grants a +1 to Common Knowledge, Electronics, Hacking, Research, Repair, and Thievery rolls related to the target machine; this includes attempts to dig through data files or bypass security systems and electronic locks. When interfacing with preexisting arcane items and TW gear, the bonus increases to +2. Machine Maestro does not allow the Techno-Wizard to control intelligent machines, cybernetic/bionic systems, vehicles, or weapons.
