You spent some time making repairs to metal tools and utensils. You spent several years traveling between villages and other smaller settlements which lacked a blacksmith. How did you learn this trade? Why did you decide to constantly travel for work? Did you enjoy life at the time, or detest it? Why did you leave it to take up the life of an adventurer? **Ability Score Increases.** +1 to your choice of Intelligence or Dexterity, and one other ability score.  **Skill Proficiencies.** [[03-Mechanics/6-Ability Scores/Engineering|Engineering]], [[03-Mechanics/6-Ability Scores/Investigation|Investigation]] **Tools.** Tinker's tools **Language Proficiencies.** Common, one of your choice. **Suggested Equipment.** Traveler’s clothes, merchant’s scale, tinker’s tools ***Feature: Temporary Repair.*** In addition to using your tinker’s tools for crafting purposes, you can use them to make temporary maintenance checks which usually require access to a forge. You can choose to make either a tinker’s tool check or an Engineering check, using the standard maintenance DC for the item being repaired. On a success, the item will function as normal for 24 hours before reverting to its prior damaged or broken condition. You can use this ability once per long rest, and it can never be used on the item again until it’s been repaired using a forge. ***Adventures and Advancement.*** Although tinsmiths favor areas without blacksmiths, there is some overlap in your skills. If you work for them enough, you may gain an assistant to aid you, gaining the services of an inexperienced follower of the Porter, Smith, or Squire types. ***Connection and Memento.*** Roll 1d10, choose from the lists below, or make up your own.  **Itinerant Tinsmith Connections:**  1.

A small dwarven hammer, whose artistic metalwork still mesmerizes you. 3. The gnomish puzzlebox that first inspired you to learn about engineering. 4. A small vial of smoked glass, which once held payment from a local alchemist. 5. A handheld mirror, with a poor reflection you can never seem to improve. 6.
