Tech Mastery

Tech Mastery is a passive power available to the Engineer class in Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3. As with all of the other class powers, it focuses mainly on increasing the character's health and providing a bonus to Paragon and Renegade points. This power also upgrades the player's power recharge time and reduces the cost of research projects.
