Talents provide somewhat broad descriptions of out-of-combat things a Character can do that have a vaguely or explicit technological feel to them. This includes but is not limited to replacing limbs with prosthetics, producing technological solutions for handicaps such as hoverchairs for those who are wheelchair bound, require artificial wombs, want to make air conditioning or washing machines, or generally add mechanical parts to daily tasks or the body to create a better standard of living. If you feel choice-paralysis over what you can do with this, or feel creatively lacking ideas, be sure to ask a Lore Staff in a Ticket. | Talents provide somewhat broad descriptions of out-of-combat things a Character can do that have a vaguely or explicit technological feel to them.

Before Point Buying any Packs, it is important to settle on one of the [[Technology Branches]] as a style. Each Character may only have a single Technological Branch (though some exceptions exist, explained on the page). The Technological Branch roughly provides context to the aesthetics of Abilities (and Specials) used by a Technician. Some Races or Afflictions may have different rules regarding Branches, all exceptions and limitations are provided on the linked page. | |||

The Tech Point Buy is part of the bigger Proficiency System. Please read the Proficiency Page first before reading this one. Tech Point Buy provides Packs for the Character to become proficient in Engineering and using Technology for either combat or utility.
Tech Talent
Talents provide somewhat broad descriptions of out-of-combat things a Character can do that have a vaguely or explicit technological feel to them. This includes but is not limited to replacing limbs with prosthetics, producing technological solutions for handicaps such as hoverchairs for those who are wheelchair bound, require artificial wombs, want to make air conditioning or washing machines, or generally add mechanical parts to daily tasks or the body to create a better standard of living. If you feel choice-paralysis over what you can do with this, or feel creatively lacking ideas, be sure to ask a Lore Staff in a Ticket.
Technological Branches
Before Point Buying any Packs, it is important to settle on one of the Technology Branches as a style. Each Character may only have a single Technological Branch (though some exceptions exist, explained on the page). The Technological Branch roughly provides context to the aesthetics of Abilities (and Specials) used by a Technician. Some Races or Afflictions may have different rules regarding Branches, all exceptions and limitations are provided on the linked page.

Tech Ghost Pack
The Tech Ghost Pack does not include any Abilities, but Roleplay functions. Firstly, Tech Ghost allows the user to produce Automata, which are autonomous programmed robots that are played by other players (and require Character Applications of their own), which have 14 Proficiency points (but cannot invest in Magic or Faith, and subsequent Point Buy, nor can they Point Buy Tech Ghost) and speaks all languages the creator speaks (except Point Bought Languages). Automata can change their aesthetics but no changes to their body ever amount to a Disguise, unless they use a Disguise Ability. They do not age but are always created physically and mentally as adults. If the owner of this Pack dies in Roleplay, their consciousness is transferred to one of their Automata, and they continue to live as a robot.
