The Mechanist - A Blades in the Dark Playbook

Under lamplight and in the heat of a forge you do your best work. Metal bends to your will, and electricity courses through capacitors, giving a semblance of life to your creations. Encased in armour that augments your strength and carries your weaponry, you are more than human, and more than machine. And the city holds no secrets, no limits, over your ingenuity.
