[edit] Engineer Class Features
All Engineers share these class features.
mechanical expertise:you gain a 2+ bonus to diabal traps and fix non-magical things
Master Mechanic: Engineers can build any inventions they have blueprints for, a long as the blueprint are your level or lower. Blueprints will specify the necessary components to build the invention, as well as the DC of the Intelligence check to build it correctly. If the engineer fails the check to build it, the components are wasted and the invention is not built. As long as the blueprint is intact and legible, it can be used without limit. Note: Blueprints can be printed in any language. An engineer must be able to read the language a blueprint is printed in to be able to use it. Alternatively, an Intelligence check against a Hard DC may allow the engineer to decipher the blueprint, albeit with a -5 modifier to the Intelligence check to build it. Engineers start out with 2 1st-level blueprints.A list can be found here: [1].An Engineer can make his own Bluepronts by sumiting and drawing to the DM.he will tell you the DC and if the plan is OK.
Pick one of these class features as an engineer:
Engineering Alchemist: Anytime a power has the explosive, fire, acid, poison, or cold keyword, add +1 to damage roll. In addition, pick one of the keywords above. Anytime a power has the explosive keyword, it executes the chosen keyword damage as well.
Inovative Tinkerer: You can modify weapons to increase their weapon die. It costs 150gp to increase weapon die of a non-magical weapon the first time. The second time, it costs 300gp to upgrade the weapon die on the same weapon. For magical weapons, the weapon die can only be increased once. To determin the cost of upgrading the die of a magical weapon, take the level of the weapon x the level of the engineer + 500gp. This increased cost represents the amount of skill and the material cost needed to create extensions on weapons to make them do more damage. You also can take any weapon and make it smaller and more portable without losing any of it's strength. This costs 1000gp for magical weapons and 100gp for non-magical weapons. These changes include: making hidden blades, automatic ranged weapons, and devices to increase range of thrown weapons. If you use one of these mobile weapons, you gain a +1 bonus to all attacks made by this weapon. In addition, all ranged weapons gain a +5 to range when made more compact.
Reverse Engineering: When you encounter a trap, you are able to take whatever parts you find and use this new technology to aid yourself. If somebody has successfuly disabled the trap, make an intelligence check with a DC equal to the DC to disable the trap +5. If you succeed, you can use that trap's attack as an encounter power, or you can choose to use the parts from the trap to finish a blueprint.
[edit] Powers
An engineers powers are called exploits, and are used to deal damage, cause conditions to enemies, or both. They sometimes need to be set before hand. A list can be found Engineer Powers.
