the unfamiliar. Synergistic Understanding I grants the
Taskmaster a competence bonus of +2 to Appraise, Craft,
Disable Device and Open Locks skill checks when dealing
with any object that was created with a Craft skill. This
includes magically-created items that required the caster
to make a Craft check at the time of the casting, such as
fabricate or minor creation.
Expert Craftsman (Ex): The Taskmaster may choose one
Craft skill in which he intends to truly excel. At 4 th level,
he is considered an expert craftsman in that skill, and may
deduct five from the DC of any skill check for that skill.
For example, a Taskmaster who has chosen to specialise in
Craft (weaponsmithing) may, when he becomes an expert
craftsman, create a martial melee or thrown weapon by
succeeding in a Craft (weaponsmithing) skill check against
a DC 10, rather than a DC 15.
Trapfinding (Ex): The Taskmaster’s understanding of
multiple crafts and principles of engineering allows him to
find and disable traps using his Search and Disable Device
skills just as a rogue can.
Perfect Strike (Ex): A Taskmaster’s intimate understanding
of weapons and armour gives him the opportunity to make
exceptionally devastating attacks in combat. When using a
weapon the Taskmaster created for himself, the Taskmaster
may slip his weapon through the chinks in his opponent’s
armour, possibly inflicting a more punishing critical hit than
would be normally be possible with the weapon. While
wielding the weapon he created, any critical hit scored
by the Taskmaster has its damage calculated at the next
highest multiplier. For example, a longsword normally
has a critical multiplier of x2, but with perfect strike, the
multiplier becomes x3.
Master Craftsman (Ex): As Expert Craftsman, except the
DC of the skill check is now reduced by 10.
Synergistic Understanding II (Ex): As Synergistic
Understanding I, except the bonus is now +4.
Legendary Craftsman (Ex): A Taskmaster’s skill has
risen to the point that he can create items in half the time it
would take a less skilled craftsman with no loss of quality.
Destroy Construct (Ex): The Taskmaster’s knowledge
and skill enable him to destroy a construct with his bare
hands. To do so, however, he must successfully grapple
the construct. On his next standard action, he makes a
Knowledge (architecture and engineering) skill check,
which is opposed by the construct’s Fortitude save. If the
construct fails, it is destroyed.
