I think it would be better if in order to build things the tinkerer used a small amount of mana and had to provide the necessary materials. Perhaps a "research" skill could be added:

<100%hp 100%m 100%mv> Research WarMachine
You stare into a few drawings for a while. (lag)
The blueprints reveal a block of mithril, 3 large tree branches and 8 daimond are required for the construction of your war machine.
<100%hp 90%m 100%mv>

So each time you want to make something you get a different mini-quest. Maybe 5 to choose from. A war machine sounds a bit overpowered, so atleast it would be rather difficult to make. Of course a scout would be a much easier "quest" than a war machine.

And I think it would be a lot better if the player's short desc was just changed to "A war machine controlled by Thorin" and an affect such as "War Machine" was added to your list. Maybe having -1 hours, or maybe 100 hours. As it would probably fall apart after a time period.
