-If you only want to use a vehicle for transportation, you might never need a Mechanic. If you want to use it as an effective combatant or otherwise expand its capabilities, then a good Mechanic becomes absolutely necessary. You don't need to actually have levels in a vehicle-owning class or personally own a vehicle in order to upgrade it via Mechanic, but you do need to be in regular contact with the vehicle in question.

-====== Mechanic ======
-^ ^^^
-^{{ra>gear-hammer?48|Utility}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Vehicle-Mounted Weaponry:** You can mount weapons to a vehicle, effectively giving the vehicle levels in a weapon-using class. Vehicle-mounted weapons can be used by whoever is driving the vehicle. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Driver's Power:** When the vehicle's driver attacks using a vehicle-mounted weapon, they use their own actions and combat statistics. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Vehicle's Size:** Vehicle-mounted weaponry counts as an attack from a creature of the vehicle's size, not the pilot's size. This is important for purposes of determining size-based failure chance with most melee and projectile weaponry. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Plug And Play:** The driver does not need to have levels in the appropriate classes in order to make use of a vehicle-mounted weapon. For example, if you mount a gun on a vehicle the driver does not need to be a Gunslinger in order to fire it. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Level Limited:** You can add a total number of abilities to a vehicle equal to that vehicle's level. For most vehicles, this means a total of five; vehicles owned by those who have invested in an appropriate ability might have higher-level vehicles capable of holding more mechanical upgrades. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Mechanic's Knowledge:** The vehicle's mechanic cannot add an ability to a vehicle unless they personally know it. The sole exception is abilities from the Trampler class, which every mechanic can add to a vehicle without actually knowing any Trampler abilities themselves. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Upgrade Costs:** Adding a new ability to a vehicle (or replacing an old one with something different) costs 1 Supply and a few hours worth of work. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Maintenance:** The installing mechanic must spend at least a few minutes every game day tuning up their handiwork. If you're not around, nobody can use your vehicle upgrades either. |
-^ ^^^
-====== Adapter ======
-^ ^^^
-^{{ra>gear-hammer?48|Utility}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Repurposed Knowledge:** You can create a vehicle upgrade from any eligible class or ability, not just the ones you know personally. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Keystone Dependent:** Creating an upgrade from an ability you don't personally know requires you to have a keystone of the appropriate type. Making the upgrade consumes the keystone. \\ \\ {{ra>doubled?24&align=left}}**Scholar Synergy:** If you also know the Comprehensive ability from the Scholar class, its chance to retain used keystones applies to any keystones consumed via Adapter. |
-^ ^^^
-====== Chimerize ======
-^ ^^^
-^{{ra>gear-hammer?48|Utility}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Function Fusion:** You can combine two or more separate vehicles of different types into a single vehicle. The chimerized vehicle acts as whatever vehicle type is relevant to its current circumstances. For example, you could chimerize a wheeled vehicle and a watercraft to make a car that turns into a boat when you drive it into water, or chimerize a spacecraft and an aircraft to make a vehicle that can fly around freely while both inside and outside of an atmosphere. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Compatible Forms:** The vehicles to be chimerized must be purchased separately and be of the same size category. The new chimerized vehicle is the same size as its constituents. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Singular Source:** All vehicles to be chimerized must be owned by a single creature (which does not have to be you). The new chimerized vehicle has a level equal to whichever is lowest among its constituent vehicles. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Maintenance:** The installing mechanic must spend at least a few minutes every game day tuning up their handiwork. If you're not around, nobody can use your vehicle upgrades either. |
-^ ^^^
-====== Decentralized ======
-^ ^^^
-^{{ra>gear-hammer?48|Utility}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Extra Controls:** You can add extra control stations to a vehicle. This allows passengers other than the pilot to also access the vehicle's mounted weaponry. Passengers using a vehicle's mounted weaponry to attack use their own actions and combat statistics to do so. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Counts As An Upgrade:** Every additional control station requires the same amount of time and effort to add to a vehicle as an ability upgrade (1 Supply and a few hours) and counts against the total maximum limit of upgrades a single vehicle can have at a time. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Limited Access:** Every additional control station can only be used by a single passenger per turn. |
-^ ^^^
-====== Engineer ======
-^ ^^^
-^{{ra>gear-hammer?48|Utility}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Non-Weapon Upgrades:** You can add various non-weapon classes and abilities to a vehicle as upgrades. Non-weapon abilities that require an action to use still need to have said action provided by the vehicle's pilot (or a passenger if the Decentralized ability is in play). \\ \\ {{ra>doubled?24&align=left}}**Engineer Options:** \\ \\ - [[Adamant]]: Poisonproof, Radproof (protects all passengers; the vehicle naturally has these effects) \\ - [[Charlatan]]: Charlatan, Face Artist, Impersonation, Zero (disguise applies to vehicle) \\ - [[Shieldbearer]]: Shieldbearer, Breakaway, Fortify, Pushback, Ricochet, Shield Other \\ - [[]]  |
-^ ^^^
-====== Modular ======
-^ ^^^
-^{{ra>gear-hammer?48|Utility}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Replaceable Parts:** You know how to make your vehicle upgrades in light, replaceable form. Modular upgrades can be stored in your/your friends' inventory when not in use. One ability is equal to one upgrade and occupies one inventory slot. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Fast Swap:** You can add or replace an upgrade on a vehicle as a single action with no Supply cost. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Transferable:** You can move upgrades from one vehicle to another. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Personalized:** You can only change upgrades into modular form if they are your own upgrades. Only you can add one of your modular upgrades to a vehicle or remove it again, and doing so requires you to have it in your personal inventory. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Slow Creation:** While the Modular ability affords you much more flexibility in terms of upgrading vehicles, it does not reduce initial costs. Creating a new upgrade from scratch requires 1 Supply and several hours worth of work as normal for new upgrade creation. |
-^ ^^^
-^{{ra>gear-hammer?48|Utility}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Efficient Packing:** You can fit two modular upgrades into a single inventory slot. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Inefficient Help:** Your friends and assistants can only fit one modular upgrade into an inventory slot as normal. |
-^ ^^^
-====== Enterprises ======
-^Astronaut School |The settlement hosts an institution that teaches the secrets of this class for a small fee. Keystones of this class can be purchased here: the first such keystone per session costs 1 Supply, the second 2, the third 3, and so on. |
-^Shipyard |New watercraft can be purchased in the settlement by anyone with the Sailor class. |
