Let me run a few situations past you...
Vampire Lord is secure in his keep, with a number of local villlager girls as hostages. He has a horde of monsters between you and them.
Do you:
A. Bust down the door and do this Castlevania style!
B. Negotiate with the lord for the release of the hostages, hoping he is a civil being.
C. Recon the castle, working with local milita to distract the minions while your crack team enters with enough holy specialized weapondry to turn an army of vampires to dust.
Cleric of an Evil God begins converting locals to his cause. His plan is to take over a local kingdom!
Do you:
A. Start busting chops and knocking sense into people.
B. Give a daring oration to turn the tide against the priest and make the locals understand the horror of going against the true gods.
C. Infiltrate his organization, replacing key members with your team and then stating an assassination and discrediting event.
Holy Cow DRAGON ATTACK!
A. Finally!
B. Try to signal it and negoitate? Maybe lead it away from the town.
C. Marshel the town's defenders to protect the citizens while pulling out your emergency kit B-14, and preping the Bane Ballista.
If you answered C on most of the questions, you might be a Magical Engineer Commando.
It's a different style of play that focuses on using the whole environment, and creative uses of standard and magical items to undermine your foes. You operate more like a military unit, or a group of harden professionals than adventures.
In Champions terms you are a PRO. Not exactly a power gamer. It's not about a mathematical bonus, but more that deep satifaction of good tactics and critical thinking.
You are the XCOM of the Fantasy crowd. The Adventure's in Black.
Be you Merc or more heroic in nature. You get the job done.
Is this you?

The moment I read th word Castlevania, the theme music started playing in my head and A was the only answer to any of these questions.
