Sub-Routine Descriptions
The following are Sub-Routines a character gains as they progress in Function Level:

Jury-Rig: Putting things back together in a hurry is one of the trademarks of the Engineer. At 1st level, Engineers are able to make a Reapir Check as a Full-Round action in the middle of combat, allowing them to restore hit points during battle. ...

As Engineers gain levels, they learn to better techniques for jury-rigging, allowing them to restore more hit points with successful Repair Checks. ...

Well-Equipped: Regardless of the situation, Engineers always make sure to have good tools to work with. At 2nd level, any Program Check bonuses provided by Equipment or Transformation Properties an Engineer may have are increased by +1. This bonus increases once again at every 4 levels, for a total of +2 at 6th level, +3 at 10th level, and +4 at 14th level.

Knowledgeable: Nothing is more important for Engineers than knowing what they are doing. Starting at 3rd level, Engineers gain a +2 bonus to any Knowledge Program Check they make. This bonus increases by +2 for every 5 Engineer levels thereafter, to +4 at 8th level, +6 at 13th level, and +8 at 18th level.

Technical Focus: Engineers spend a lot of time tinkering with their gear to give it superior qualities. Starting at 3rd level and once again every 3 levels beyond that, Engineers may choose one of the following:

  • Increase the point value of a specific Weapon by 2
  • Increase their Equipment Points by 2
  • Increase their Transformation Points by 2
  • Add 2 points of Modifications to a specific Propulsion

The effects of these increases are cumilative, so that an Engineer who takes this sub-routine twice for Equipment would have 4 additional Equipment points to work with.

Scavenger: Picking useful components out of junk is key for Engineers with limited access to spare parts. At 4th level, Engineers may make a Search Program Check to ...

Miracle Worker: Time is always against Engineers, so they learn to get the job done faster than others could ever hope for. At 5th level, Engineers may complete Repair and Construct Program Checks in 3/4 of the time that it normally takes. As they gain levels, they further reduce the time, down to 1/2 normal at 10th level, 1/4 normal at 15th level, and a mere 1/8 normal by 20th level.

Resourceful: Working with what you have is essential when resources are in short supply. At 5th level, Engineers may make a Search Program Check to ...

Recover: Good Engineers can bring back allies who seem too far gone to make a recovery. At 9th level, an Engineer may ...

Rebuild: Even the complete destruction of an individual's body can't stop a good Engineer from bringing them back to life again. At 11th level, Engineers may ...

Improvised Invention: Time doesn't always allow the Engineer proper time to make their Inventions work. At 12th level, Engineers may ...

Integrated Invention: Inevitably any Engineer who tinkers with Inventions creates one which they build into their own chassis, making it a permanent feature of their character. At 16th level, Engineers may ...

Recreate: For the greatest Engineers, even the loss of an ally's spark cannot prevent them from bringing them back to life. At 17th level, Engineers may ...
