Special Abilities

Inventions

Your powers are known as "Inventions".

  • They are quasi-magical in nature.
    • This means that, although they rely on quasi-magical properties (such as the energy contained within phlogiston), they are not full magical effects, and cannot be dispelled, disjoined, or suppressed by antimagic.
  • You gain free knowledge of two inventions per level.
    • You may purchase knowledge of more invention at the going rate for scrolls.
    • Whenever you gain knowledge of an invention, it may either be one of the ones already created below, or a custom-made invention (see Creating Your Own Inventions).
  • There are three ways to power an invention:
    • Energists are rare, self-recharging devices, which can power devices all day long.
    • Power Cells are single-use cells, and are relatively cheap to make. You can prepare Int+level power cells for free per day; excess cells have a cost (but last forever, until expended).

  • Light damage: 1d4 at level 1, +1d4 per spell level heightened.
  • Medium damage: 1d8, same logic as above.
  • Heavy damage: 1d12, same logic as above.
  • Range: not sure.

Level 0

Assault
  • Steam Pistol: A one-handed firearm that uses a fire energist and a water reservoir to produce burst of steam sufficient to launch bullets. This mechanism can be reset much more quickly than a powder musket.
    • 1d10 piercing, range 30/120, ammunition, light. Requires a fire energist.
Defense
  • Shield Gauntlet: A single gauntlet that uses an air energist to deflect attacks. You gain a +2 shield bonus to AC while wielding the gauntlet, and can expend 1 power cell as a reaction to gain resistance to damage until your next turn.

Level 1

Assault
  • Dragon's Maw: A hefty, two-handed barrel, typically wrapped in ornate metalwork to evoke a dragon's maw, packed with incendiary fuels, and set off by a power cell, producing a massive gout of flame that can produce a piercing jet or be swept across a wide arc. Choose:
    • 15-ft cone, Dex half; 3d6 fire damage.
    • 30-ft line (5-ft wide), Dex half; 3d10 fire damage.
Defense
Debilitation
  • Web Launcher: Encounter, swift, long range, circle 6, 3 rds; subjects suffer 50% movement penalty while inside area. (Snare, +1 for area, -1 for cooldown)
Mobility
  • Rocket Boots: Clearly built by someone who doesn't understand lever arms and moment of inertia, these rockets fit any™ normal boots and allow for brief burst of intense speed...for those who have learned to master them. Bonus action; gain +90-ft of movement speed for 1 rd (+30 per level heightened).
Utility

Level 2

Assault
  • Lightning Gun: A two-handed ranged weapon that creates a beam of lightning. Although the weapon has a short range, the lightning can jump to multiple targets if they are close enough.
    • 2d8 lightning damage, range 15, chain 3/5-ft, recharge 3-6. Requires a lightning energist.
Debilitation
  • Transmogrification Ray: Recharge 33%, swift, medium range; subject is polymorphed into a useless animal. Fort ends, damage ends. (Seed: Transform)
Defense
  • Invisibility Belt: Encounter, swift; you become invisible until you attack or suffer damage, or until 5 rounds have passed. (Seed: Invisibility, no extras).
  • Mirror Image Generator: Encounter, swift, 5 rds; you create 4 illusionary duplicates of yourself, which duplicate your motions, so as to confuse your enemies. The images have 1 hp each, and are immune to area effects. (Seed: Duplication, +2 for extra images, -1 for Reduce, -1 for non-independent images)

Death Ray

Crafted Items

Rank 1

Enhancement
  • Sniper Scope: 1000 gp, 1 day. Attaches to firearm. As a single action, you can gain advantage and double range to your next ranged attack. Must concentrate to maintain.
Utility
  • Alarm-o-bot 5000: 2000 gp, 1 day. Bot can patrol a 60' radius, has low-light vision, perception equal to your level + Int, and is generally about as useful as the Alarm spell, but slightly larger in radius, and can only make physical alarms.
  • P.K.E. Meter: 2000 gp, 1 day. Handheld device measures the strength of psychomagnotheric energies (and other metaphysical phenomena) about as well as Detect Magic.
  • Universal Translator: 4000 gp, 2 days. Handheld device shows a written translation (in a single language chosen upon creation) of the loudest intelligible language it can overhear (hears as well as an ordinary human), and can be set to scan written text within a 30-ft cone and provide a similar translation. It is fluent in over 6 million forms of communication, though it does not grasp nuance, metaphor, or artistic intent, nor does it understand glyphs, imagery, or anything but cold transliteration. It can be particularly humorous to feed the output of one translator into another, and back again. (Refer to Comprehend Languages).
