With a few tools and enough duct tape a Noble of Swords can get anything running, at least for a time. To repair a device she requires basic tools and vaguely appropriate replacements for any missing pieces: for a car, for instance, she could use cheap alcohol for missing petrol, several packs of AA batteries to replace a car battery, a circular piece of wood for a missing wheel and lots and lots of duct tape for structural damage. When the Noble reaches the threshold, the device gains the Jury-Rigged Condition.

If the activation fails, the Noble’s crude repairs collapse into a pile of junk, damaging the machine further. Remove a quarter of the device’s Structure.

Suggested Modifiers: Simple machine (+2), appropriate tools (+equipment bonus), proper replacement parts (+2), very inappropriate parts (-2), complicated problem (-2), exceptionally complicated machine (such as trying to patch up a circuit board) (-4)
