SFS Standard Mechanic

Source Tech Core pg. 62
You’ve created an exocortex and synced it with a creation of your own invention.

Multiclass Mechanic Characters

The mechanic archetype is a great choice for anyone who wants to craft or develop new uses for items while maintaining a strong presence on the battlefield.
  • Envoy mechanics are incredibly adaptable, pairing well with any exocortex and feats that greatly expand an envoy's toolbox.
  • Mystic mechanics might use their magic to enhance their turrets, or use drones as bodyguards.
  • Operative mechanics can make excellent use of the Modify action to better take down their opponents.
  • Solarian mechanics excel with the drone exocortex, which gives them a partner to flank with and fight alongside in melee combat.
  • Soldier mechanics can increase the effectiveness of their area weapons and grenades using the Modify action, notably with the big boom and bunker buster mods.
  • Technomancer mechanics synergize incredibly well, as both classes favor the use of a variety of tech items.
  • Witchwarper mechanics make powerful battlefield controllers when armed with a mine exocortex and benefit from having a drone or turret exocortex to hide behind.
