Default Re: Gadgeteer, High TL, & Invention Rules

You could have campaigns where it would be enormously valuable, to be sure. But...not the baseline, that.

No, you don't actually.

You get penalties for using any higher-TL technological skills you have with lower-tech equipment. But there's nothing stopping you from having skills matching the TL of the setting.
