How about we transfer the same idea of “hit it again!” to a different system?
Percussive Maintenance
You might not be the smartest, but you do hit hard and that sometimes make the machines work. You gain the following benefits:
- When you use a machine you are unfamiliar with you may use your Strength modifier and you are considered proficient with the machine when attempting to activate the machine.
- You can use magic items you are not attuned with by simply hitting them harder. If the item uses one of your ability modifiers, it uses Strength. If the use of the item requires a charge, you use an additional charge for each use. You apply your proficiency bonus to any spell or effect save DC, but you are not considered proficient with the item. As an example, you would use your Strength modifier and your proficiency bonus to determine a save DC, but you would not gain proficiency with a new armor or a weapon.
