Abilities

Dexterity, Intelligence and Wisdom are the techie's most important abilities. The techie uses her Dexterity to manipulate sensitive equipment, for ranged combat, and to drive and pilot vehicles and aircrafts. Her high Dexterity also provide the techie with an invaluable bonus to her initiative and armor class. A techie with a high Intelligence score gets additional skill points, although the high number of skill points would privide a techie with low or medium Intelligence a very reasonable amount as well. In addition to being based on Intellgience, some of the techies skills are based on Wisdom, and having a high score in that ability should prove her with additional advantages.

Trapfinding

At 3rd level techies can use the Search skill to locate traps when the task has a Difficulty Class higher than 20. Finding a trap has a DC of at least 20, or higher if it is well hidden. Techies can use the Disable device skill to disarm traps. A techie who beats a trap’s DC by 10 or more with a Disable Device check can study a trap, figure out how it works, and bypass it (with her party) without disarming it.
