Background

Engineer

Armed with an inventive intellect, a love of magical technology, and an unquenchable energy, you are an enthusiastic participant in the research of machinery and the Arcane.Though you're likely to begin your career as a mere attendant, you can aspire to become a skilled mage or alchemist, a laboratory supervisor, or even an Artificer. Engineers are obsessive, brilliant, inspired, and an unpredictable force of chaos in the world and you epitomize all of those qualities.
