You have the uncanny ability to always carry the right gear. At any time you can make a Create roll to see if you just happen to have the right thing stashed away. The difficulty depends on the oddity of the gear; everyday gear is automatic, specialized tools and gear you need for your adventuring career is difficulty 9, gear others need for their careers is 12, and out-of context gear that you could possibly have gotten your hands on is difficulty 15. You must also have some plausible way to fit the gear; you can take larger items out of your pickup than out of your pockets, and you can only try once in a particular situation. If a roll indicates you don't have it in your pocket, you just don't, but you could still have it in your car, or in your workshop, or in your friends workshop over on Westside.
Professor
Basic Action
Young man, I must mention that the coolant conductors in the thermonuclear reactor are not really suitable for climbing; their structural integrity is just 346 over 9. If you must use this delicate piece of machinery for ascension, use the illumination ducts. Those are the green cables, not the yellow ones.
You are the best in your field of technology. Define a field of study; it must be fairly narrow. Nuclear physics and rocket science are both good examples. Within this narrow field, you are an absolute genius. You automatically make any knowledge rolls, and have a bonus die on appropriate gageteering rolls using Crate skill. If you advise someone else (a 3-shot action in combat), and your field of study is somehow applicable (fairly spoofy reasons are acceptable), you give him a free bonus die on his Action Total.
You can also make truly new and revolutionary designs in your field of experience. In genres where a type of craft are very important, such as Crimson Skies or mecha campaigns, this schtick helps you to create new designs and to push the envelope on technology.
