Engineering Point Buy is part of the Proficiency System. Engineering Point Buy is specifically designed to allow a character to utilize Turrets and technology to reinforce themselves and affect the battlefield. As a result, Engineering Point Buy allows the use of a Summon, it in fact requires one. Engineering Point Buy Abilities require the Stance Ability provided for free as soon as a single Point Buy Pack is purchased from this selection.

Ability Aesthetics

Engineering Point Buy operates under "Limited Aesthetics" rules. What this means is, Engineering Point Buy can be freely used with the following guidelines and suggestions: constructed turrets, constructed pylons, etc. This list is mostly comprehensive, but we accept suggestions for additions, within reason to the setting. However, this Proficiency is always strictly Mundane and cannot be re-flavored as Magic. This Aesthetic Flavor has no effect on Ability functionality.

Summon Roleplay Rules

Engineering Point Buy requires the use of summon items available to craft in game or purchase on the in game store. A free version will always be available for use, but alternate skins for vanity/cosmetics are purchasable.

• To summon a Turret, be sure you have one of the “Turret” tools in hand, and Right Click on a solid block (no stairs, dirt path, leaves, fences) to summon the model.
• To remove a Turret, be sure to Left Click (Do not hit it.) If you by chance do hit it, and can no longer remove it via Left Click, you will need to hit it many times to “kill” it.
• There is a cooldown on how many you can place at once, and you are always limited by the Stance’s limit on placements (Engineering Point Buy only allows for One to be placed at a time).

Stance Ability

The Engineer Stance Stance Ability is required for all Engineer Point Buy Abilities. This Ability cannot be point bought, but is included for free as long as at least one Engineer Point Buy Pack has been purchased. This Ability does not do much besides enable further Engineer Abilities, while adding some baseline buffs. As a general ground rule. Stances cannot be Countered, Prevented, Cancelled, or interrupted in any way. Please note, if your character has this Stance Ability, they cannot acquire any other Stance Abilities, regardless of their source.
