Inventor Class Book
Kibbles' Inventor 1
Inventor v2.2.1
A gnome sits hunched over a workbench in a room cluttered
with every sort of tool, carefully drawing the final lines to an
intricate rune. With a crackling hum of arcane energy, the
completed rune flares with power, and she watches
with a smile of pride as the golem comes to life and
stands.
An ogre looms large over a dwarf, saliva slopping
down its chin as it considers its hearty meal, only to
turn to a horrified roar of agony lost beneath the
crushing sounds of thunder as the dwarf unloads a
terrifying blast of power from a small metal tube. The
ogre flees in terror hounded by rippling cracks of
thunder.
With a thunderous crash of energy a figure lands in the
middle of the battlefield. As the smoke clears, a towering
presence stands amidst the war-torn battlefield clad in
glowing mechanical plate mail. The glowing visor
swivels to inspect the wreckage. It raises a gauntlet, and
lightning crackles forth.
With a beckoning jesture, the elf summons a swirl of
swords leaping from the sheathes and springing to life... the
bandits start to edge away - breaking into a run as the swords
exuberantly chase.
Makers of magic-infused objects, Inventors are defined by
their inventive nature. Like wizards, they see magic as a
complex system waiting to be decoded and controlled through
a combination of thorough study and investigation.
Inventors, though, focus on creating marvelous new magical
objects. Spells are often too ephemeral and temporary for
their tastes. Instead, they seek to craft durable, useful items.

Gadgetsmith
A Gadgetsmith is an Inventor whose curiosity and inventive
genius have run rampant. While other Inventors may spend
their whole career perfecting a single-minded pursuit, a
Gadgetsmith believes that quantity is at least as good as
quality.
Quick footed and quicker witted, a Gadgetsmith is never
caught without another trick up their sleeve. Their minds are
always jumping ahead to solve the next problem with a clever
gadget.
A Gadgetsmith can come from any walk of life, but usually
exemplifies a curiosity and distaste for the suppression of
knowledge or technology, usually favoring freedom to
experiment, leaning toward more Chaotic behaviors.
Gadgetsmith’s Proficiency
When you choose this specialization at 1st level, you gain
proficiency with nets, rapiers, whips, and tinker’s tools.

begun to tinker with ways to expand your arsenal. The
number of upgrades you have for your class level is increased
by one.
The number of additional upgrades you get increases by one

Golemsmith’s Proficiency
When you choose this specialization at 1st level, you gain
proficiency with smith’s tools and tinker’s tools.
Mechanical Golem
Starting at 1st level, you forge a mechanical golem to carry
out your orders and protect you. The golem is under your
control, and understands the languages you speak, but does
not speak.
The Golem obeys your commands as best it can. On your
turn, you can verbally command the construct where to move
(no action required by you) and take an action, which requires
your action to do. Additionally, you can use your reaction to
direct it to take a reaction. The Golem acts on your
commands during your turn. If you issue no command to
your Golem, it takes no actions.
Your Golem’s Proficiency increases when yours
does. If the golem is killed, it can be returned
to life via normal means, such as with the
revivify spell.
In addition, over the course of a long
rest, you can repair a slain servant if you
have access to its body. It returns to life
with half (rounded down) its maximum hit
point at the end of the rest during which you
repaired it.
If the servant is beyond recovery, you can
reproduce the construct exactly as it was, with four
days of work (eight hours each day) and 100 gp of
raw materials.
Over the course of a short rest, you can restore
hit points equal to your Intelligence modifier +
your Inventor level to your golem, or repair it to full
health during a long rest. Healing spells you cast
on your golem ignore any restriction against
healing constructs.
The base statistics of your golem are as

tool, a means to an end; others still revel in the crash of
thunder that heralds the terrifying force of their weapon.
Many look at these weapons as the dawn of a new age, in
