 ====== Tinkering Deck ======
-This mechanic is WORK IN PROGRESS.
+The Tinkering Deck is a deck of cards that governs how powerful and successful a [[Specialist|Specialist's]] Tinkering is.
-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 Ref has a deck of cards.
+  * The GM has a deck of cards.
-  * The Tinkerer may choose to DRAW another card or STICK with the value they have.  Aces are high.
+  * 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.
+  * 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.
-  * If the value exceeds 21, the Tinkering fails catastrophically.
+  * Aces are 1.
-  * If the value is below 16, the Tinkering fails without additional consequences.
-  * If the value is between 16 and 20, the Tinkering succeeds with any additional consequences from picture cards.
+^ Value ^ Result ^ Consequences ^
-  * If the value hits 21 exactly, the Tinkering succeeds with no additional consequences.
+| < 16 | Failure | None |
+| 16 - 18 | Minor Success | Occur |
+| 19 - 20 | Major Success | Occur |
+| 21 | Perfect Success | None |
+| > 21 | Catastrophic Failure | Occur |
+==== Results ====
+  * **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 ====
+  * 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.
