spells: Wizards' Abjuration and transmutation only

level 3
1) Get tinker feature if it is not already owned.
2) Trapper or Healer tinker

At third level, You got the choice to create healing device or traps.

Healing device : You can produce a foldable wiring device, 1 cubic foot and weighting 5 lbs. It will heal as if the tinker gets Healing feat , with a successful medicine or intelligence 10 roll. The device may accommodate 1 creature medium level or 2 of a size smaller, ½ large, etc. then double this amount at 7th and any other 4 levels thereafter.

or


Traps: When you first gain this class feature you may select one trap from the “Tracker Trap List” below that you qualify for. You gain 1 additional trap known for every 4 tracker levels you gain (7th, 11th, 15th, 19th). The cost of material is negligeable. The trap ceases to function after 24h as per tinker feature from the PHB.

You can spend one hour per day preparing any of the traps you know. You can prepare a number of traps per day equal to your proficiency modifier.

The DC for your traps are 8+Prof Bonus+Intelligence Modifier

It takes you one minute to properly place a trap. A trap occupies a single 5ft square unless otherwise noted. Any creature who passes over the trap during a movement action triggers it’s effects immediately. The trap is considered triggered from the moment they step on the square. A creature halts its movement when the trap goes off, the traps effects are resolved, then the creature completes its movement.
An opponent can perform a perception check to spot the trap, with the spotting DC equal to the traps standard DC.

level 13: Learn a free cantrip : animated toys- can animate his own tiny tinker-made device. The device may be used to harass an opponent as per Versatile trickster feature. The tinker may magically repair the device by transmutation (one action) in case it is broken in combat.

level 17: Automatons: Can cast a modified Animate object spell (usually level 5) using a level 3 or 4 spell slot. See "object" description. Reverse the higher level slots rule for lower level slots ex: if level 5 = 8 objects, then level 3 = 4 objects. Tinker-made object count for one size less than a regular object for this spell. Option: Animated catapults and other siege weapons: for every -1 to hit , it grants a +30' vision range . Can perform range attacks.

The link doesn't get me anywhere :smallfrown:

Frankly I'm not keen on anything 5e that hands out magic items. In this edition, that's really for the DM to decide now.

That being said, this is a very cool mechanic to build upon.:smallsmile: here are my thoughts:
I LOVE the idea of an engineer getting a TARDIS (Toolshed Auto-Readjusting Dimensions for Invention Storage, in case you were wondering. It'll catch on just you wait :smalltongue:) Just be sure the wording won't let you use it like 3.5 rope trick unless so designed.
perhaps you might find inspiration from siege weapons in the DMG, as well as making some of your own to fit the clockpunk theme :3
see if sneak attack support with tech is doable?

Hope this thread lasts, and that my post might be of use to you - it's a neat idea.:smallbiggrin:

:

Yes, good point. Devices to grant advantage in combat ? An automaton may distract opponents. It grants advantage.

I updated my 1st post.

A distract-O-Tron, designed to draw the enemies'attention
a concealable hammer/backstab/axe machine trap that can strike for SA damage using your reaction if it meets the conditions.
the Flankbot Mk.4!
Some sort of device that gives you advantage by fighting on the higher ground.
portable battle terrain/obstacles that lure enemies in and trap them inside.
big red button with a dagger inside to stab those who press it.


Nothing I couldn't envision a gnome or Moogle tinker come up with! :p
...or Wile E. Coyote... *snicker*

I'll let you know if anything else pops to mind.

All of these are good ideas but will require a very flexible DM, since there is no guidelines. This is why a said they are considered variant of magical items creation...

this is the frame. compare the device to a related magic item, pay for it, the rest is flavor...

First, 5e classes were built with the assumption that they don't need magic items as part of a game balance, on the contrary, it specifies that 5e gives complete control of magic item distribution to the DM. it doesn't require a less flexible DM to allow you free access to magic items since it challenges a DM's authority.

Second, If you give these machines rules, balanced and functional abilities, statistics, areas of effects, a set DC, perhaps a duration of use before requiring maintenance, it won't be to hard to make an good mechanic (pun definitely intended). Just don't go framing them as magical items, 5e doesn't work like that anymore.

There is no classes or feats in 5e granting benefits related to objects and I don't want to change it.

One said technology is magic to those who don't understand it. This is why the loose magic item creation rules should apply here, unless you want to allow item as cheap as spells, where only a few spells cost money. The Material components of these "tinker spells" should costly, will take room and casting time will be high...

Updated again. I hope the level 3 ability is what you referred to. :smallsmile:

I would like to critique at some point. The way you currently have it formatted is difficult for me to read, if you clean up the OP it would be very much appreciated. I'm just really hoping my straightforward isn't misinterpreted to be harsh.
