Technician

<--Monitor
--
Technician is one of three possible specializations for the Monitor Class in Prophecy of the Fated. Technicians are unique because they are focused on technology and its application to battle. A technician may construct themselves a tech companion. The tech companion is always active, but can be left in any specific location by the Technician. A tech companion can speak in a digital voice and has its own full set of stats which are decided by the Intelligence of its creator. After selecting the tech companion skill, a portion of the technician's character sheet should be dedicated to describing and detailing the tech companion. The appearance of the tech companion, and any story behind it, is subject to approval by the GM. Technicians can learn to use Light Armor. An ability with Rank 1+ can be leveled up by investing more skill points into the ability, this provides the same effect as the first level of the ability for as many ranks as the ability has been leveled up. Each additional rank in a skill, after the first, requires the monitor to reach level 5x the rank of the ability; for example a rank 2 ability that unlocks at level 1 can be learned at level 5 and a rank 3 ability that unlocks at 
level 1 can be learned at level 10.
