As an Engineer, you are a genius mechanic able to build various things out of scrap metal. You are obsessed with explosions and ready to unleash a literal inferno upon your enemies. No gun is big enough, no machine loud enough. Something mechanical is broken? You can fix it! You also come equipped with a lot of useful gadgets that your party can benefit from.

Weapon Proficiency : Mechanical Blade, Infused Sledge, Heavy Gun
Being a cackling pyromaniac, you've definitely had a few mishaps in your life. As such, you suffer a -2 CHA when interacting with any race except Bantak due to sporting quite a few facial scars. Bantaks are always admirative of scars, netting you a +2 CHA when interacting with them.
You have a wide choice of weapons and abilities related to said weapons on top of gadgets and grenades that you can carry as well. You can either be a fast dual-wielder or a slow, but incredibly powerful fighter with a giant elemental hammer. All of your weapons are extremely noisy, making you ill-suited for stealth missions.
BASIC ABILITIES
Demolitionist
Skill. Something is in the way? Blow it up! It takes 1 stick of dynamite to bring down 1m thick of rock wall. Assess the situation and place the right amount of explosives. Need to tear open something made of metal? A charge of C4 will take care of 30cm thick of heavy duty metal.
Handyman
Skill. Use your Deployable Forge to repair weapons, armours, and tools.
MECHANICAL BLADES
One-handed, quick, devastating, and can be dual-wielded. Mechanical Blades lack the big booms of the Infused Sledges, but are easier to use.

INFUSED SLEDGES
Your choice of Infused Sledge will affect your abilities. A colossal hammer with elemental powers. Unlike a typical enchanted weapon, the sledge is powered by a furnace. At camp, you can open up the sledge to change the element contained within if you have the correct items. Quite a hulking piece of metal to carry, resulting in a -2 SPD. This cannot be negated by the Unyielding Grasp skill and is an obligatory two-hander.
