It's a [[Skills|General skill]], so specializations can provide a way to add extra flavour to your character.

<div id=fate>O</div>
'''Overcome:''' Engineering allows you to build, break, or fix machinery, presuming you have the time and tools you need. Often, actions with Engineering happen as one component of a more complex
situation, making it a popular skill for challenges. For example, if you’re just fixing a broken pump, neither success nor failure is interesting; you should just succeed and move on. Now, if you’re trying to get your car to start while a pack of werewolves is hunting you…
<div id=fate>C</div>
'''Create advantage:''' You can use Engineering to create aspects representing features of a piece of machinery, pointing out useful features or strengths you can use to your advantage (''Armor-Plated'', ''Rugged Construction'') or a vulnerability for you to exploit (''Flaw in the Cross-Beam'', ''Hasty Work'').
Creating Engineering advantages can also take the form of quick and dirty sabotage or jury-rigging on mechanical objects in the scene. For example, you might create a Makeshift Pulley to help you get to the platform above you, or throw something into the pillbox that’s firing on you to give it a Jammed Pivoting Joint and make it harder to hit you.
<div id=fate>A</div>
'''Attack:''' You probably won’t use Engineering to attack in a conflict, unless the conflict is specifically about using machinery, like with siege weaponry. Usually, weapons you craft are likely to be used with other skills to attack—a guy who makes a sword still needs Fight to wield it well!
<div id=fate>D</div>
'''Defend:''' As with attacking, Engineering doesn’t defend, unless you’re somehow using it as the skill to control a piece of machinery that you block with.

== Stunts==
* '''Always Making Useful Things.''' You don’t ever have to spend a fate point to declare that you have the proper tools for a particular job using Engineering, even in extreme situations (like being imprisoned and separated from all your stuff).
* '''Better than New!''' Whenever you succeed with style on an overcome action to repair a piece of machinery or electronics, you can immediately give it a new situation aspect (with a free invoke) reflecting the improvements you’ve made, instead of just a boost.
* '''Surgical Strikes.''' When using Engineering in a conflict involving machinery, you can filter out unwanted targets from whole-zone attacks without having to divide up your shifts (normally, you’d need to divide your roll between your targets).
