== Mechanic==

A mechanic is a somewhat simple job, relying more on knack and training they craft and repair things, usually for a fee. They usually rely on a workshop, garage and fully stashed workplace to make the best out of their skill. They differ from [[Builder (3.5e NPC Class)|Builder]] as they focus on smaller tasks such as maintenance and are completely non-magical.

===Making a Mechanic===

'''Abilities:''' Mechanics usually rely on several ability scores, [[Intelligence]] increase their skills and relevant skill checks, [[Strength]] allow them to carry heavy things and [[Charisma]] allow them to negotiate good prices.

'''Races:''' Dwarves, Gnomes and Humans make most of the mechanics. However, any race can pretty much become a mechanic with little problem.

'''Alignment:''' Any

'''Starting Gold:''' 100 gold

'''[[SRD:Race Descriptions#Starting Age|Starting Age]]:''' Simple

====Class Features====

All of the following are class features of the Mechanic.

'''Weapon and Armor Proficiency:''' A Mechanic is proficient with all simple weapons as well as the [[Bonesaw (3.5e Equipment)|Bonesaw]], [[Combat Shovel (3.5e Equipment)|Combat Shovel]], [[Combat Spade (3.5e Equipment)|Combat Spade]], [[SRD:Gnome Hooked Hammer|Gnome Hooked Hammer]], [[Great Mace (3.5e Equipment)|Great Mace]], [[SRD:Light Hammer|Light Hammer]], [[Military Light Mace (3.5e Equipment)|Military Light Mace]], [[Military Heavy Mace (3.5e Equipment)|Military Heavy Mace]], [[SRD:Warhammer|Warhammer]] and all martial crossbows and firearms.

A mechanic is proficient with light armor and medium armor as well as all shields (except tower shields).
 
'''{{Anchor|Quality Fix}} {{Ex}}:''' A mechanic is skilled at repairing broken or damaged goods. She can restore 1 hit point per class level to a damaged object or building for each hour of work, doing so requires a successful DC 20 appropriate [[SRD:Craft Skill|Craft]] check. Additionally a mechanic counts as having the [[Craft Construct (3.5e Feat)|Craft Construct]] feat for the purpose of repairing damaged or destroyed constructs, if she has the feat she repairs them at twice the normal rate.

'''{{Anchor|Mechanical Expertise}} {{Ex}}:''' A Mechanic adds half her class level as a bonus on on [[SRD:Craft Skill|Craft]], [[SRD:Disable Device|Disable Device]] and [[SRD:Knowledge Skill|Knowledge]] (Engineering) checks.

'''{{Anchor|Trapfinding}} {{Ex}}:''' A 2nd level Mechanic's ability to work with machine and mechanism work in her favor, she gain trapfinding as a [[SRD:Rogue|Rogue]] of her level.

'''{{Anchor|Handyman}} {{Ex}}:''' A 4th level mechanic halves the penalties for not having the proper tools to do a job. If she has [[SRD:Masterwork Tool|Masterwork Tool]] she increases the circumstance bonus they grant by +1. This bonus only applies on skills which require tools to properly use.

'''{{Anchor|Superior Fix}} {{Ex}}:''' A 6th level mechanic increases the hardness of any item she repaired by 2, this last until the item takes at least 1 point of damage. This bonus never applies to creatures.

'''{{Anchor|Quick Crafting}} {{Ex}}:''' A 8th level Mechanic is very effective at crafting things, when crafting within a workshop, garage or factory fitted with all the tool she need she count the price of any items she craft in platinum rather than silver for the purpose of determining how long it take to craft.

'''{{Anchor|Daily Job}} {{Ex}}:''' A 10th level Mechanic does not need to spend more than 8 hours crafting or repairing any non-building mundane items. She can essentially finish almost any project in 8 hours. This ability only works when the mechanic is in a workshop or otherwise fully outfitted with a workplace and tools.
