Nanoswarm Host

"NOT THE BEES!!"

A Nanoswarm Host is an Auditor that has bonded themselves with a fleet of advanced nanites that live inside or as part of their host. Some Hosts see their swarms as mere tools under their command; others form a deeper bond, seeing the union as a spiritual or otherworldly experience. Regardless, there is no questioning the efficiency and lethality of a Host and their swarm.

Gathered Swarm

At 3rd level, a swarm of microscopic nanites has bonded itself to you and can assist you in battle. Until you die, the swarm remains in your space, crawling on you or flying and skittering around you within your space. You determine its appearance, or you generate its appearance by rolling on the Swarm Appearance table.

Once on each of your turns, you can cause the swarm to assist you in one of the following ways, immediately after you hit a creature with an attack:

• The attack's target takes 1d6 piercing damage from the swarm.

• The attack's target must succeed on a Strength saving throw against your spell save DC or be moved by the swarm up to 15 feet horizontally in a direction of your choice.

• You are moved by the swarm 5 feet horizontally in a direction of your choice.

Nanoswarm Tech

Also at 3rd level, you learn the Hovering Helping Hand cantrip if you don't already know it. When you cast it, the hand takes the form of your Nanite Swarm.

You also learn an additional tech of 1st level or higher when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown in the Nanoswarm Tech table. Each tech counts as an Auditor Tech for you, but it doesn't count against the number of Auditor techs you know.

Mobile Swarm

Beginning at 7th level, you can condense part of your swarm into a focused mass that lifts you up. As a bonus action, you gain a flying speed of 10 feet and can hover. This effect lasts for 1 minute or until you are incapacitated.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Ravenous Swarm

At 11th level, your Gathered Swarm grows mightier in the following ways:

• The damage of Gathered Swarm increases to 1d8.

• If a creature fails its saving throw against being moved by the Gathered Swarm, you can also cause the swarm to knock the creature prone.

• When you are moved by Gathered Swarm, it gives you half cover until the start of your next turn.

Nanoswarm Body

When you reach 15th level, you can discorporate into your swarm, avoiding danger. When you take damage, you can use your reaction to give yourself resistance to that damage. You vanish into your swarm and then teleport to an unoccupied space that you can see within 30 feet of you, where you reappear with the swarm.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
