Engineer

"Y'know, I often warn certain people that I got a tendency to make mighty dangerous friends... They never do take that quite literally enough."

An Engineer specializes in the production of supporting their allies in the best way possible: guns, explosions and plenty of collateral damage. This destructive power is valued by the private security forces protecting the corps' precious properties, as well as those rebels who are brave enough to take the fight straight through those fancy gilded gates.

Tool Proficiency

3rd-level Engineer feature

You gain proficiency with electrician's tools. If you already have this proficiency, you gain proficiency with one other type of technician's tools of your choice.

Engineer Techs

3rd-level Engineer feature

You always have certain tech prepared after you reach particular levels in this class, as shown in the Engineer Tech table. These spells count as mechanist spells for you, but they don't count against the number of mechanist spells you prepare.

Engineer Tech table

Mechanist Level	Tech
3rd	Emergency Barrier, Shockwave
5th	Scorching Ray, Sonic Boom
9th	Incendiary Grenade, Wind Wall
13th	Supercooled Disposable Drones, Wall of Fire
17th	Nitrogen Blast, Wall of Force

Remote Turret

3rd-level Engineer feature

You've learned how to create a remote turret. Using electrician's tools or mechanic's tools, you can take an action to magically create a Small or Tiny remote turret in an unoccupied space on a horizontal surface within 5 feet of you. A Small remote turret occupies its space, and a Tiny one can be held in one hand.

Once you create a turret, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest or until you expend a spell slot to create one. You can have only one turret at a time and can't create one while your turret is present.

The turret is a technological object. Regardless of size, the turret has an AC of 18 and a number of hit points equal to five times your mechanist level. It is immune to poison damage and psychic damage. If it is forced to make an ability check or a saving throw, treat all its ability scores as 10 (+0). If the Quick-Fix tech is cast on it, it regains 2d6 hit points. It disappears if it is reduced to 0 hit points or after 1 hour. You can dismiss it early as an action.

When you create the turret, you determine its appearance and whether it has legs. You also decide which type it is, choosing from the options on the Remote Turrets table. On each of your turns, you can take a bonus action to cause the turret to activate if you are within 60 feet of it. As part of the same bonus action, you can direct the cannon to walk or climb up to 15 feet to an unoccupied space, provided it has legs.

Remote Turrets table

Turret Type	Turret Effect
Flamethrower	The turret emits fire in an adjacent 15-foot cone that you designate. Each creature in that area must make a Dexterity saving throw against your tech save DC, taking 2d8 fire damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one. The fire ignites any flammable objects in the area that aren't being worn or carried.
Pulse Cannon	Make a ranged tech attack, originating from the turret, at one creature or object within 120 feet of it. On a hit, the target takes 2d8 kinetic damage, and if the target is a creature, it is pushed up to 5 feet away from the turret.
Defence Pylon	The turret emits a burst of positive energy that grants itself and each creature of your choice within 10 feet of it a number of temporary hit points equal to 1d8 + your Intelligence modifier (minimum of +1).

Custom Firearm

5th-level Engineer feature

You know how to integrate a dongle, cyberdeck, or crack into a custom firearm, a conduit for your destructive techs. When you finish a long rest, you can use electrician's tools to integrate circuitry into a dongle, cyberdeck, or crack and thereby turn it into your custom firearm. This circuitry breaks if you later integrate it into a different item, but otherwise lasts indefinitely.

You can use your custom firearm as a techcasting focus for your mechanist techs. When you cast a mechanist tech through the firearm, roll a d8, and you gain a bonus to one of the tech's damage rolls equal to the number rolled.

Overcharged Turret

9th-level Engineer feature

Every remote turret you create is more destructive:

The turret's damage rolls all increase by 1d8.
As an action, you can cause the turret to detonate if you are within 60 feet of it. Doing so destroys the turret and forces each creature within 20 feet of it to make a Dexterity saving throw against your tech save DC, taking 3d8 kinetic damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one.

Fortified Position

15th-level Engineer feature

You're a master at forming well-defended emplacements using Remote Turret:

You and your allies have half cover while within 10 feet of a turret you create with Remote Turret, as a result of a reduction field that the cannon emits.
You can now have two turrets at the same time. You can create two with the same action (but not the same spell slot), and you can activate both of them with the same bonus action. You determine whether the turrets are identical to each other or different. You can't create a third turret while you have two.
