Playability

Intuition
Boldness

Field Mechanics are bold, hands-on engineers who excel at repairing machinery and improvising tech solutions under extreme pressure. They thrive in chaotic combat environments, using their instincts and technical know-how to keep their team’s gear functioning even in the harshest conditions.

Field Mechanics are often seen as brave and resourceful, their willingness to dive into the heart of battle to make critical repairs earning them the respect of their allies. However, their tendency to prioritize machinery over personal safety can sometimes make them seem reckless or overly focused on technology.

Ability Prioritization Explained

Core Abilities
Intuition: Your instinctive read on failing systems, hazards, and battlefield flow—great for Awareness and on-the-fly repair choices under fire.
Boldness: The nerve to dive into danger and fix things mid-fight; decisive play flips broken tools back online fast.

Supporting Abilities
Reasoning: Diagnostics, safe sequencing, and precise adjustments—vital when the margin for error is thin in structured engineering/cybernetic work.
Agility: Fine motor control and kit handling in tight spaces; smoother movement, swaps, and repair maneuvers in the scrum.

Important Abilities
Memory: Schematics, tolerances, and field procedures at your fingertips—keeps complex chains consistent.
Strength: Hauling gear, bracing panels, and winning rough-and-tumble moments tied to close-quarters fixes.
Constitution: Stay functional through chip damage, heat, and environmental stress while you keep everyone else’s gear alive.
Self Discipline: Steady hands and sustained focus during long repairs, calibrations, and multi-step ops.

Minor Abilities
Quickness: Nice to have for interrupts and seizing openings, but less critical than intuition and steadiness in this role.
Creativity: Handy for jerry-rigs and clever workarounds, just not your main limiter.
Presence: Useful when coordinating crews, but results matter more than charm here.
Empathy: Low impact for a tech-first role without magical or healing focus.
