Feats

• Tool-Assisted Casting: Type: Core Level: 1 You can create and use One-Handed (+2) and Two-Handed (+3) tools, crazy mechanical contraptions to assist you with the execution of Somatic Spell Components. You can use these tools to execute a Somatic Component of any spell, but you cannot use any other type of Spell Component.
• Mechanistic Affinity: Type: Major Level: 2 You can spend a few hours and 1+ FP to attempt to concoct a mechanical contraption to achieve any specific simple goal (use a Check of your primary attribute). Think gears, belts, pulleys, etc in a small pocket sized creation. As an example, you could craft a music box, a clock, a small mechanical hinge to open a door. The DM will adjudicate the complexity and feasibility of the project.
• Eye for Contraptions: Type: Minor Level: 3 You are particularly good at analyzing and assessing the functionality of mechanical contraptions, such as mechanical devices, locks, and traps. You have a +3 CM to IQ Checks to discern information from such contraptions, and can spend 1 FP to get an additional +3 CM (must be decided before rolling).
