Tinker

"Are you aware of the Tinker classification?"

"Covers anyone with powers that give them an advanced grasp of science. Lets them make technology years ahead of its time. Ray guns, ice blasters, mechanized suits of armor, advanced computers."<ref>https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2011/06/28/gestation-1-6/</ref>

Tinkers are parahumans who "create devices or alter existing devices well beyond usual restrictions of education, knowledge, resources, and/or physics [...] a typical tinker can artificially assume any number of other classifications, depending on specialty." The term was initially created by the PRT ground-patrol and response teams in New York as a means of quickly identifying threats and adopting strategies.<ref name="PRT Quest">https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Swjz8BZZNE4bq6lTkHanTK4sJ-K_xVlFudxA16mYjH4/edit#heading=h.1x68bg9w7rc5</ref>

Qualification

According to the PRT, Tinkers are capes who "can create devices or alter existing devices well beyond usual restrictions of education, knowledge, resources, and/or physics."<ref name="PRT Quest" />

Strategies

Tinkers are less dangerous when removed from their gear, but should not be assumed

to be harmless. A typical tinker can artificially assume any number of other classifications, depending on specialty. Specialty should be appended to the

classification in every case possible. (ie. phasing specialty or electricity specialty)
