## 🔧 Role Ability: Maker (Rank 4)

Your role ability makes you **the team's engineer** — you fix, upgrade, and build things.

You have **4 points** split across three specialties:

### 🛠️ Field Expertise (4 pts — your strongest skill)

**What it does:** Add **+4** to any Basic Tech or Cybertech check.

**Jury-Rig (special):** Instead of a full repair (which takes hours), you can **temporarily fix** something to full condition **as an Action** in combat. It lasts **40 minutes** (10 min × Rank 4). Same DV as a normal repair.

> *Example: Your buddy's Light Armorjack took damage and is at SP 5. You jury-rig it back to SP 11 — but it reverts after 40 minutes.*

### ⬆️ Upgrade Expertise (2 pts — allocated from Maker)

**What it does:** You can **permanently improve** items. Roll TECH + relevant Tech Skill + 2 + 1d10. You need materials of the same price category.

**Upgrades you can make:**
- Reduce cyberware Humanity Loss by 1d6
- Add an extra slot to items
- Make a weapon concealable (1-handed only)
- Upgrade weapon quality (Average → Excellent)
- Increase an item's SP by 1
- And more!

### 🏭 Fabrication Expertise (2 pts — allocated from Maker)

**What it does:** You can **build items from scratch**. Roll TECH + relevant Tech Skill + 2 + 1d10. Materials cost one price category below the item's price.

> *Example: Want to build a Heavy Pistol (Expensive)? You need materials worth "Costly" category.*
