This is, honestly, the direction by which I'd wished MCH would split from a Gunner base class... at least, within some pipedream by which base classes could remain viable (even if not quite "competitive" for Savage content and above) as a much more open-ended take on the uses of a weapon, while jobs instead went in more unique, cohesive, and "un-limited" directions. Bards would have their song-learning, Monks their kata and forms, Samurai their spiritbonds to swords, etc., and Machinists... their technicraft. (Crazed grin)
