Craft Cybernetics
You can build cyberware and install it in a creature's body.
Prerequisites: Technologist, Heal 9 ranks, Knowledge (engineering) 9 ranks
Benefit: You can create cybernetic items. Creating a cybernetic item takes 1 day for every 1,000 gp in the item's price. To create the object, you must use up raw materials costing half of this total price. See Crafting High-Tech Items for more information.
You can repair a broken cybernetic item if it is one that you could make. Doing so costs half the raw materials and half the time it would take to craft that item from scratch.
You can also install a cybernetic item in a creature's body. See the Cybertech section for more information on installing cyberware.
Craft Pharmaceutical
You can craft pharmaceuticals.
Prerequisites: Technologist, Heal 9 ranks, Knowledge (nature) 9 ranks
Benefit: You can create any pharmaceutical or poison. Creating a pharmaceutical takes 2 hours if its base price is 250 gp or less; otherwise, the creation of the pharmaceutical takes 1 day for every 1,000 gp in its price. To create the pharmaceutical or poison, you must use up raw materials costing half of this total price. See Crafting High-Tech Items for more information.
Craft Technological Arms and Armor
You can build technological weapons and armor.
Prerequisites: Technologist, Craft (mechanical) 7 ranks, Knowledge (engineering) 7 ranks
Benefit: You can create technological weapons or armor. Creating a technological weapon or suit of armor takes 1 day for every 1,000 gp in the item's price. To create the object, you must use up raw materials costing half of this total price. See Crafting High-Tech Items for more information.
You can also repair a broken technological weapon or suit of armor if it is one that you could make. Doing so costs half the raw materials and half the time it would take to craft that item from scratch.
Craft Technological Item
You can craft technological gear and items.
Prerequisites: Technologist, Craft (mechanical) 5 ranks, Knowledge (engineering) 5 ranks
Benefit: You can create technological gear. Creating a piece of technological gear takes 1 day for every 1,000 gp in the item's price. To create the object, you must use up raw materials costing half of this total price. See Crafting High-Tech Items for more information.
You can also repair a broken technological item if it is one that you could make. Doing so costs half the raw materials and half the time it would take to craft that item from scratch.
Robot's Bane
You have trained to avoid the attacks and effects employed by robots and technology and to combat them effectively.
Prerequisite: Knowledge (engineering) 5 ranks
Benefit: You gain a +1 bonus on attack and damage rolls against creatures with the robot subtype. Additionally, you gain a +1 dodge bonus to your AC and a +1 bonus on saving throws against attacks and effects from robots. If you have at least 11 ranks in Knowledge (engineering), these bonuses increase to +2. If you have at least 17 ranks in Knowledge (engineering), these bonuses increase to +3.
Special: If you have constructs as a favored enemy, you can use your favored enemy bonus toward constructs in place of the bonus granted by this feat if it's larger. These bonuses do not stack with those granted by other abilities that allow you to add your favored enemy bonus to AC or on saving throws.
Scavenger's Luck
You coax better behavior out of timeworn technology.
Prerequisite: Knowledge (engineering) 1 rank
Benefit: When your check for using a piece of timeworn technology results in a glitch, you can roll again. You must choose to reroll before determining the specific glitch, and must take the second result, even if it's worse. When you use timeworn technology, it doesn't automatically glitch on a natural 1.
Technologist
You are familiar with the basic mechanics of technology.
Benefit: You are considered to be trained in any skill used against a technology-based subject. If the skill in question requires training to use even against non-technological subjects, you must still have ranks in that skill in order to gain the benefit of Technologist.
Normal: You treat all skill checks made against technology as if they were untrained skill checks. This may mean that you cannot attempt certain skill checks, even if you possess ranks in the skill in question.
Technology Adept (Combat)
You utilize high-tech firearms to maximum effect.
Prerequisites: Dex 13, Exotic Weapon Proficiency (firearms), Point-Blank Shot
Benefit: When you attack with a technological firearm that consumes charges, the save DC of any effect caused by that firearm increases by 1. If your bonuses from Point-Blank Shot apply, it increases by 2 instead.
Technophobe
Smashing technological abominations brings you joy.
Prerequisite: Improved Sunder
Benefit: When you reduce a robot to 0 hit points or destroy a technological item possessed by an enemy, you receive a +2 morale bonus on ability checks, attack rolls, saving throws, and skill checks for a number of rounds equal to your Wisdom bonus (minimum 1 round). You receive this bonus for destroying an unattended object so long as it was in the possession of an enemy within the last round.
Wrest Charge
You can extract a charge from otherwise depleted technology.
Prerequisites: Disable Device 5 ranks, Knowledge (engineering) 5 ranks
Benefit: With a successful DC 20 Disable Device check, you can jury-rig a depleted (but not destroyed) battery so it provides 1 more charge. Using this charge or failing your check by 5 or more permanently depletes the battery.
You can attempt the same check to add 1 last charge to a discharged piece of timeworn technology. Regardless of the outcome, no other attempts can be made, even by another person. Using this feat takes 1 minute. You can attempt to wrest a charge as a move action by taking a -10 penalty on your check. This feat does not stack with the charge cycling deed.
