In the realm of [[Video Games]], most know of [[The Beast Master]] and [[The Minion Master]]. Their major strength comes from their summoned companions. The Turret Master takes similar cues, but places his defense more in line with technology and traps.

In a nutshell, the Turret Master is a character with the ability to summon a stationary defense in the form of an automated Turret. Bear in mind this needn't be a literal turret: it can be anything that fulfills the general role of a stationary defense, even if it's just ''[[Torchlight]]'''s stick that shoots fire.

What exactly this ability entails varies a bit: Some suffer from [[Weak Turret Gun|Weak Turret Guns]], while others are invulnerable but on a restricting timer. Oddly enough, it's more common for a character like this to be fairly powerful even without this ability than to be a [[Squishy Wizard]] as [[The Minion Master]] commonly is. This ability is more common in Rogue- or Archer-styled classes. Classes like this can also usually form other traps, as well.
