Behold, the ENGINEER of Titan! A learned professional with near-arcane knowledge of machines, gears, levers and other tools and contraptions of construction and artifice. Engineers are typically employed in one of a few select and profitable fields of interest which can be rolled for on the table below:

Roll Field of Study

1 Siege Engineering

2 Hydraulics/Irrigation

3-4 Building Construction/Architecture

4 Gunpowder Technology 

6 Airship Design and Construction

They may or may not be a member of the local Engineers' Guild or equivalent, and their race can be determined by the following table:

Roll Race

1-3 Dwarf

 4-5 Human

6 Half-Dwarf

When encountered an Engineer may be working solo or travelling between jobs, or overseeing a team of labourers engaged in a task relating to their field of study. They will be equipped with a bag of tools containing a hammer and nails, a chisel, pick, saw, saw, iron spikes, tongs, pliers and a coil of heavy wire, and use a weapon as follows:

Roll Weapon

1 Greathammer

2-3 Hammer

4-5 War-Pick

6 Flintlock Pistol and Shortsword

Many examples of engineering exist on Titan, such as the Great Wall of Kish, which is complete, and the Great Wall of Analand, which is not. Likewise the mighty Eede Dam in Gallantaria is a marvel whose successful operation was ironically not solved by the four greatest engineering sages of the kingdom but instead the adventurer who became Tantalon's heir. Rather more capable are the mysterious engineers employed by Baron Sukumvit to build and maintain his infamous Deathrap Dungeon. 

Dwarfs of course are renowned for their engineering feats, including the Fangthane Guild of Engineers who discovered the secret of gunpowder technology in 1955 OT. The rival engineering Guildsfolk from the southern Dwarf cliff-town of Warpstone are believed to be pioneers in the construction of flying airships, such as the Galleykeep, which is unfortunately now in the hands of the necromancer Zharaddan Marr. Perhaps the greatest engineers on Titan however, dwell in the sky-realm of Pangaria, where they work in lock-step with the clan of Technomancers maintaining the enormous devices that keep that floating archipelago successfully aloft above the Ocean of Tempests!
