Tinkering Deck

The Tinkering Deck is a deck of cards that governs how powerful and successful a Specialist's Tinkering is.

For the purposes of Playtesting, this will be done by a game of 21:

• The GM has a deck of cards.
• The Tinkerer may choose to DRAW another card or STICK with the value they have.
• If a picture card is drawn, a side effect will occur for the Tinkerer. For each picture card, the consequence severity will increase. Picture cards do not add to the total.
• Aces are 1.

• Failure - it didn't work, nothing happens
• Minor Success - some of what was being attempted works, equivalent power of gaining three additional calls for use over the rest of the Mission.
• Major Success - all of what was being attempted works, equivalent power of gaining an additional call per encounter for the rest of the Mission.
• Perfect Success - all of what was being attempted works, with an additional positive side effect decided by the GM.
• Catastrophic Failure - what was being attempted fails to work and backfires in a way decided by the GM.

• Consequences are mechanical or roleplaying effects that add a twist to the roleplaying of the Tinkerer for 2-3 Encounters.
• These can either be taken from a list of options or created on the spot.
• Examples:
  • You are incapable of speaking more than 5 words in a sentence at a time.
  • Your maximum hits are temporarily reduced by 4.
  • When you take a STRIKEDOWN, you must stay on the ground for 3s.
  • When you take a PUSH you arc uncontrollably to the left.
  • Whenever you call PING you must also call YOU: PEW at an ally.
  • Your pool of MISS from being in cover is reduced by 1.
  • All food tastes bad.
  • The first time someone makes a call in an encounter take an EFFECT: TERRIFIED from them.
  • Whenever someone is subject to BLAST take an EFFECT: DEAFENED.
