ENGINEER

SHORT SKILL

Optional

REQUIREMENTS

Troopers using this Special Skill must be in Silhouette contact with their target.

EFFECTS

Engineer allows, by passing a Normal WIP Roll, removing a Wound from a target with the Structure Attribute (STR). This cancels Unconscious State if applicable.
This Special Skill can be declared as many times as necessary to remove all the Wounds that the target has.
If the Engineer fails the Normal WIP Roll, the target receives a Wound instead of removing it, entering Unconscious or Dead State if applicable.
Alternatively, by passing a Normal WIP Roll, a Trooper with Engineer may cancel all of their target's States that can be canceled by this Special Skill except Unconscious (Immobilized-A and B, Targeted, etc.), removing the corresponding State Tokens.
Failing the Normal WIP Roll when trying to cancel other states has no negative consequence, and the Roll can be performed again in future Orders.

Update PDF 5.2, October 2025

A Trooper with the Engineer Special Skill can use it on themselves, to remove any Wounds they have received, or cancel any states that can be canceled by Engineer. However, this cannot be done if the Trooper is in a Null State.
Engineer (ReRoll WIP=X):
Once per Order, any failed Roll with this Skill may be rerolled, but applying the WIP Attribute indicated between brackets. The player must accept the result of this last Roll. This reroll does not provide a new ARO to the enemy.

Engineer (ReRoll -X):
Once per Order, any failed Roll with this Skill may be rerolled, but with a negative MOD (-X) to the WIP Attribute. The player must accept the result of this last Roll. This reroll does not provide a new ARO to the enemy.

Engineer and Remote Presence:
Regardless of which level of Unconscious State the target is in, with a single successful WIP Roll, they remove all the Wounds necessary to cancel the target's Unconscious State.

IMPORTANT

Even if the player failed the roll granted by Engineer (ReRoll WIP=X), they could still apply the Operational Use of the Command Tokens to repeat an Engineer’s WIP Roll.

However, the Attribute value provided by the Engineer (ReRoll WIP=X) Skill does not apply when repeating this Roll.

However, the negative MOD of the Engineer (ReRoll -X) Skill does not apply when repeating this Roll.

If the target has Remote Presence, Command Tokens can be expended to reroll failed Engineer Rolls.

Technorganic

The Unconscious State of the Trooper can be cancelled by using either the Doctor or Engineer Skill, or the MediKit or GizmoKit pieces of Equipment, regardless of whether they have the VITA or STR Attribute.

IMPORTANT

If a Trooper receives and removes Wounds or States in the same Order, the positive effect is always applied first, followed by the negative effect.

For example, if an Engineer cancels a Trooper’s IMM-A State at the same time that the same Trooper is hit by a Riotstopper, the Engineer’s WIP Roll to cancel the Trooper’s IMM-A State is made first, then the Trooper makes their PH-6 Saving Roll against the Riotstopper’s PARA Special Ammunition. In this way, the original IMM-A Status could be canceled and a new one inflicted in the same Order.
