University Professor
Professor Topffer is a card. He loves Engineering and spends hours in the Laboratory creating everything from coffee-makers to advanced molecular nanobots. He was the first faculty member hired at Paragon University. His passion is evident in everything he does and word around campus is that he's the spitting image of, and loves to quote, Dr. Helmut Brun from The Future is Back.
Prior to Introduction
Are you enrolled in the University? I don't see your name in the roll books. If you are interested in enrolling, speak with Admissions Officer Lenk.
Initial Contact
You're late! Have you no concept of time? No excuse for tardiness!
I'm Professor Topffer! Now come on and let's teach you a little something about Invention Enhancements.
Greeting
Isn't the process of Invention Enhancements FASCINATING!? I just love them! Love them! Anyway, if you ever want any kind of refresher, feel free to look through the manifests over and over. They're always available for you to review.
No More Missions
You should go see Guidance Counselor Jones now, Character. I told him to expect you.
Missions
Look at the Invention Enhancement Information
Briefing
Invention Enhancements are a brand new type of Enhancement that you get to make. They're like traditional Enhancements, but with more...kick. They can be slotted at three levels higher than yours, but if my calculations are correct, and they always are, they cannot be combined with other Enhancements.
But this, THIS will put some gas in your car! They don't expire as you level! And wait, there's more! Their effectiveness is constant and based on the level of the Recipe.
There are even new 'sets' of Invention Enhancements. Individual Enhancements make up these sets and they work like normal Invention Enhancements, but as you gather and slot your single Power within this 'set', it grants you bonuses. At any level! Imagine the bonuses if you had the WHOLE SET!!
Now go sift through those brown Storage Cylinders and see my instructions and Invention Enhancement samples. Give me a report on those samples! I want to know what you think!
Mission Acceptance
Go on! Hurry up! We've got so much to cover and you're just standing around!
Unnecessary Solicitation
What are you doing speaking with me? Read!
Mission Objective(s)

Container Manifest |
| The manifest in this container details the new Invention Enhancement samples. |
|
Invention Enhancements |
| Invention Enhancements are a new 'type' of Enhancement that provides exceptional bonuses to players. They can be slotted at 3+ a person's level; however, they cannot be combined with other Enhancements.
Invention Enhancements do not expire as you increase in level. The bonuses on any given Invention Enhancement is constant and based on the level of the Recipe at the time it was built. There are new 'sets' of Invention Enhancements. Each 'set' is made of single power Enhancements that, working together, give excellent bonuses as long as the single Power enhancements are part of the same 'set'. |
Debriefing
Well, you've passed my class with flying colors. It looks like your last stop is the Guidance Counselor.
New contact
Now that you've completed your classes, Counselor Jones can give you some ideas on what to do with your skills.
Guidance Counselor Jones is your man when it comes to completion of your education and what to do once you've graduated.
He is located in the Administration area.
Trivia
Professor Topffer's looks, and reference to Dr. Helmut Brun from The Future is Back is a homage to Dr. Emmett Brown from the movie Back to the future with Michael J. Fox.
