You start knowing the Blueprint for you first invention, a Signature Blueprint, that you always know the Blueprint for, you are always considered Trained in the use of the Signature Blueprint Item. Work with your GG, using the guidance in Appendix A: Blueprints & Customisations for help in designing your first invention’s Blueprint. Over time through roleplaying and taking time in quiet moments, you can develop new Blueprints or modify your earlier Blueprints.

As you gain Levels in this Class, you can choose for a number of additional Blueprints to become Signature Blueprints for you. The number of Signature Blueprints you know are equal to your Skill Bonus. You can change these chosen Signature Blueprints whenever you gain a Character Level.

Each Technique has a cost, this is how much you must reduce the Item Bonus of the Tool by (this Bonus can never be reduced to below 0, if a Technique would do so you cannot use that Technique).
