Engineer Playbook 
Technician, saboteur
Build things, or take them apart. This is the playbook for working with your hands.
Anyone can throw a spanner into the machine. You can make the machine break down on a timetable.
When you play an engineer you gain xp whenever you address a challenge with technical skill or by causing mayhem. Every secret agent needs an arsenal of gadgets, and every crew needs someone who can get their hands dirty. Pull out your toolset and duct tape and get building!
