Tinkerer

Name:  Tinkerer
Rank: C
Requirements: What skills do you need to have in order to have this SC?
Type: Mental
Description: In this broadest sense, a Technologist is a Technology Specialist, and as such, thinks much differently than the normal average being. They like to figure out how things work, why they work the way they do, and what would happen if you combined multiple different components together to produce something new and unseen. They have spent many years, if not decades, honing their skill-sets into fine points in a multitude of different areas. As such, the term Technologist contains a fair amount of tongue-in-cheek, and it is, and should be, embraced despite the incongruity.

The wide ranging skill-sets which are the hallmark of technologists are ideal for connecting people, technology, and business opportunities. Rather than spending years of education and experience on any one thing, a technologist has an intense curiosity in technology in general. This has led them to become familiar with many different aspects, and to develop skills and experience in a variety of fields. Thus, a technologist is a good person to know if you’re trying to solve a problem and you’re not quite sure how to go about it, making someone with this characteristic ideal for advising a Kage as Council.

On Naruto Crisis, this Special Characteristic is applied in a manner which allows the user to develop the ability to handle Materials found in the Material System delicately, and think of them differently than other shinobi or civilians. This allows them to create basic to moderate rudimentary technology. To get a basic grasp of what this means, consider medieval technology as being on par with what a Technologist can produce. This allows them to embrace and utilize major technological advances, including the adaptation of gunpowder, the invention of vertical windmills, spectacles, mechanical clocks, greatly improved water mills, building techniques and allowed agriculture to bloom with the idea of three-field crop rotation.

A tinkerer and subsequent trees (B-S) are not blacksmiths/weapon creators. Nor are they medical/poison creators. There may be some crossover, such as a grappling arm, invented by a tinkerer, designed by a weaponsmith and installed by a medical professional. They cannot develop a new crossbow, but they can in creating automation. Working alongside others (or even having the different SC's) they can create amazing things. Now, staff will have leeway when it comes to items. If its primary function is to kill/hurt/maim, it falls under weaponsmiths, if it is designed to heal, poison, regenerate etc, implant, falls under medical. Most other things are the inventors.

They are allowed to create items up to the SC in rank, with a topic dedicated to creating the item, with the WC equal to the ryo cost of that item. In the initial creation, they create 5 items, unless it's a large scale project, then it's only one. Everything of lower rank is at 25% less WC. Tinkerers received a 15% reduction on material costs

Okay, just one issue as far as I can see, though I've never graded one of these before.  Include a percentage of the ryo cost that the tinkerer has to pay for materials, or some other sort of way to determine that, or something to that effect.

I've added that in
