Repair

The Repair Skill gives one the ability to repair items that have durability (item HP). This Skill is dependent upon one's intelligence (IN).

Training[]

Repair Apprentice: Reduction of maximum HP's is only 5%
- Trainer: Blacksmiths
- Trainer: Junk dealers
- Trainer: Raymond Pierce in Ashbury

Repair Expert: Reduction of max HP's is only 1%
- Trainer: Garret Almstead in Black Root
- Trainer: Any junk dealer

Repair Master: There is no reduction of max HP's except on a critical failure. A Repair Master can fix broken items (items reduced to 0 hit points) but always at a cost of 5% of max HP's
- Trainer: Hieronymous Maxim
- Quest: Find Proof that Maxim's Air Machines Flew

This is basically a "Heal" skill for items with durability, and for Mechanical Followers

Races:
- Dwarves: gives +2/20
- Half-elves: removes -1/20
- Elves: removes -2/20

Backgrounds:
- Apprenticed to a Blacksmith: gives +2/20
- Elven Blood: removes -1/20
- Raised by Elves: removes -1/20
- Clanless Dwarf: removes -2/20 (negates the Dwarf racial bonus)

If an item has some durability remaining (above zero) then the bulk of its durability can be restored
Each Repair attempt reduces the maximum durability of the item by 10% (or less with training, see above)
- If Repair succeeds, then the bulk of its durability is restored
- If Repair fails, then max durability is decreased, and no durability is restored
- If Repair critically fails, then that overrides the benefit of Master Training (see above)
If an item is broken (zero durability) then only a Master Repairer can fix it
The only Master is Hieronymous Maxim of Caladon, or the player if they complete his quest

Investing in this skill increases Technological Aptitude (or decreases Magickal Aptitude)
The Junk Dealer in Tarant is special in that he can Repair non-broken items with little to no loss of durability
A damaged item (less than its max durability) has an increased chance of critically failing, so there is an advantage to keeping items in good repair
