This Skill allows a character to make Traps and Trap Globes as per the Traps and Locks section. For each time Engineering is bought, the character receives one Engineering PP as detailed in the Production Skills section. This Skill also allows a character to exchange their PPs for Artificing. This Skill also allows a character to identify Engineering items as quickly as they can read the Tag.
A character must have this Skill to even attempt to set a Trap, disarm a Trap, or pick a Lock, but does not guarantee success. Without this Skill they may not even cut an obvious trip wire, but could spot it. Engineering also allows for the creation of Contraptions; See the Traps and Locks section in Chapter XII Alchemy and Traps for details.
Engineering allows you to attempt to arm Noisemaker, Alchemy Globe, Scroll, and Weapon Traps. With two ranks you may attempt to arm Explosive Traps and with three ranks you may attempt to arm Mechanical Traps.
The Artificing Benefit Prime is required to throw Trap Globes.
