Tinker

Tinkers are gadget-loving mechanics and chemists, who specialize in creating and manipulating magic technology. They can distill spell-like effects into potions, craft explosive grenades, and brew mutagenic tonics to amplify their abilities. Tinkers typically employ research drones to assist them in battle. They prefer indirect combat when possible, and are more pragmatic than honorable.
