Starship Ensign

Logic lights your way forward. Your mastery of the concepts of engineering allows you to assert order over the chaos of the Verse and harness power that primitive man would see as magic. Designing bridges, rockets, robots, jetpacks and gadgets- its all in a day's work for a Starship Engineer. Life at Sea Your life at sea and in port has shaped you; you can roll on the following table to determine its impact or choose an element that best fits your character.
d6 Life at Sea 1 Grand Designs. You are working on plans and schematics for a new, very fast ship. You must examine as many different kinds of vessels as possible to help ensure the success of your design. 2 Solid and Sound. You patched up a war galley and prevented it from sinking. The local navy regards you as a friend. 3 Favored. You insisted on thicker planking for a merchant vessel’s hull, which saved it from sinking when it smashed against a reef. You have a standing invitation to visit the merchant’s distant mansion. 4 Master of Armaments. You specialized in designing and mounting defenses for the navy. You easily recognize and determine the quality of such items. 5 Low Places. You have contacts in the smuggling outfits along the coast; you occasionally repair the criminals’ ships in exchange for coin and favors. 6 Mysteries of the Deep. You experienced an encounter with a possibly divine being while sailing alone. Work with your DM to determine the secret about the deep waters of the sea that this entity revealed to you.
Choose between one of two features:
Feature: I’ll Patch It! Provided you have carpenter’s tools and wood, you can perform repairs on a water vehicle. When you use this ability, you restore a number of hit points to the hull of a water vehicle equal to 5 × your proficiency modifier. A vehicle cannot be patched by you in this way again until after it has been pulled ashore and fully repaired.
Feature: STRUCTURAL INSIGHT You have a basic knowledge of the structure of machinery, vessels and buildings, including the stuff behind the walls and how the mechanisms function. You can also find blueprints of a specific building or the schematics of a machine in order to learn the details of its construction. Such blueprints might provide knowledge of entry points, structural weaknesses, or secret spaces. Your access to such information isn't unlimited. If obtaining or using the information gets you in trouble with the law, there could be repercussions.
