IQ/Very Hard (Wildcard)
Defaults: None.
You can create anything – at least, in theory. This skill replaces all specialties of Bioengineering and Engineer, and acts as a Mathematics prerequisite for any other skill. More important, it can replace any skill roll required for inventing (p. B473) or gadgeteering (p. B475)! This includes Concept, Prototype, analysis, and modification rolls – everything except the roll for a gadgeteer to find parts (which is usually covered by Scrounging, but sometimes requires a more specialized skill).
You’re equally comfortable reverse-engineering a psychotronic death ray or trying to modify the outcome an enchanted orrery will have on a ritual – as long as there’s some technological tie-in, it all makes sense.
