So I took a bit of inspiration from several games and classes elsewhere to make a 'Puppeteer' build. My current DM says it looks good to him but that I should have a forum take a look at it to make sure it is in fact balanced properly.
New D&D Class – Puppeteer
Basic Idea – Incredibly fragile fighter that relies on strong minions and spells to keep them out of the fight
Quick build
First, make your highest stat Charisma, followed by Intelligence for magic-focussed builds and stronger puppets or Constitution for more survivability on your own. You might also want to use a high Dexterity for stronger armour. Then, select the Entertainer or Charlatan background.
Class Features
Hit Dice: 1D6 per Puppeteer level
Hit Points at 1st level: 7 + Constitution modifier
Hit Points at Higher Levels: 1d6 (or 3) + 1 + Constitution modifier
Proficiencies
Armour: Cloth, Light
Weapons: Simple weapons, Arcane Chains
Tools: Puppetmaking kit, Carpenter’s tools, Tinker’s tools
Saving Throws: Dex, Cha
Skills: Choose any two from the following: Stealth, Persuasion, Insight, Perception, Arcana, Sleight of Hand, Performance
Equipment
You start with the following equipment, in addition to that granted by your background:
• (a) A dagger or (b) a light crossbow and 20 bolts
• (a) Leather armour or (b) Cloth Armour (detailed on next page)
• (a) 1 set of Arcane Chains or (b) a quarterstaff
• A puppetmaking kit
Cloth Armour
As a puppeteer, you have the ability to wear a special kind of armour, called cloth armour. This consists of ordinary clothes, padded out a little to reduce impacts. As a result, it is much better at protecting from bludgeoning hits and damage taken from falling.
Your AC is 10 + your Dexterity bonus. In addition, when taking damage from bludgeoning sources or falling, reduce the damage by 1d6 + your dexterity modifier.
Arcane Chains
These are a finesse weapon which deal no damage. You can extend, contract and manipulate each of the five chains (which are attached to a glove, one chain for each finger). A creature hit with this weapon is considered ‘bound’ but not ‘restrained’ or ‘grappled’ and any flying creature hit will fall 10ft before correcting its flight. A creature may use an action to attempt to escape being bound by the chains by making a Wisdom or Strength saving throw (whichever is lower) against a DC of 10+ your Puppeteer level. If a creature is dropped to 0 hit points while bound, that creature may be reanimated as a new puppet. Only one puppet may be controlled this way, and the hand that wields this weapon must be used solely to control this puppet. Otherwise, the hand that wields this weapon is considered to be empty.
Arcane Chains may be bought from a magic weapon specialist for 100 GP
Puppetmaking
At level 1, you gain the ability to make Basic Puppets. Using a tinker’s toolkit or a carpenter’s toolkit for building puppets is possible, but you will take twice as long and use double the amount of materials as when using a puppetmaking kit. The materials listed in each puppet’s entry assume you are using a puppetmaking kit. Puppets are controlled using a set of Arcane Chains, or you can spend double the preparation time making them suitable for controlling using magic strings that extend from your fingers. Your puppet can be controlled by using a bonus action on your turn to give it a turn after yours. If you are knocked prone or otherwise incapacitated, your puppet shuts down and cannot take any actions or obstruct any creature until you reactivate it. If the puppet is reduced to 0 hit points, it is destroyed and you must spend half of its original materials to repair it outside of combat. Puppets are assumed to have proficiency in whatever weapons they are initially equipped with, otherwise they use the owner’s proficiency.
Basic Puppet
A Basic Puppet is just a simple wooden doll that can be animated similar to a human. It can hold things, attack and move, but little else.
Materials: 25 GP, 4 planks of wood, 1 hour
HP: 20 + (Puppeteer level X Constitution bonus)
AC: 16
Speed: 30ft
Strength: 18, +3
Dexterity: Same as user’s
Constitution: Same as user’s
Intelligence: Same as user’s
Wisdom: Same as user’s
Charisma: Same as user’s
Attacks: Unarmed, Shortsword
Entertainer
You are primarily an entertainer, so even while you fight, you like to make a show of it, and maybe even draw from the experience for your next puppet show.
At level 1 you gain the ability to substitute any saving throw with a Performance skill check.
Puppet Modding
At level 2 you become able to upgrade your puppet. You may purchase mods, or attempt to build them from a blueprint, or attempt to experiment and build one without a blueprint. Each of these methods have varying degrees of success. Each puppet may only have one of each type of mod, it takes one minute to insert a mod, one hour to create one, and only one mod may be created per day.
Level Required Mod Name Details Cost Build from Blueprint Experimental Build
2 Claws Damage +1 20 GP Int vs. 4 Int vs. 10
4 Poison 1d4 Poison affliction damage 30 GP Int vs. 8 Int vs. 14
On Fail: take 1d4 poison damage every minute until cured
4 Armour Plating +5 AC 50 GP Int vs. 12 Int vs. 16
6 Flamethrower Fireball Spell (once per day free action) 60 GP Int vs. 14 Int vs. 20
On fail: take 2d10 fire damage
9 Motor +10ft speed 40 GP Int vs 12 Int vs. 18
9 Transportation Gain a fly, climb or hover speed equal to the puppet’s speed (choose one) 80 GP Int vs. 16 Int vs. 22
School of Performance
At 3rd level you may choose a school from which you are learning techniques. The choices are: The Eloquent School – this school prefers to use less combat ready puppets in favour of beautiful productions that they practice until their hands bleed. The War School – this school prefers to make strong puppets that are battle-ready and useful, but are not very attractive and have little to no theatrical appeal. The Noble School – this school prefers to balance beauty with effectiveness. They will make beautiful puppets with an assortment of hidden weapons, and will primarily use them for combat, but perform shows as a pastime.
The school you choose will grant you a feature at the levels: 3rd, 7th, 11th, 15th, and 18th, and will grant you new puppets to use that are typical of that school.
Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.
Extra Attack
Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
Master’s Shield
Beginning at 10th level, you may choose to have your puppet intercept any attack aimed at you. As an immediate reaction, your puppet moves towards the attacker, and if it reaches a location where the attack can hit it, the puppet takes the attack instead. The puppet then shuts down for a turn.
Puppet Master’s Quirk
When you reach 14th level, you may reanimate a second puppet using the Arcane Chains, and each hand that wields one may be used as if it was free. The chains may also be used to restrain a hit creature.
Puppet Master’s End
At 20th level, you may choose to modify yourself using your puppetmaking skills. If you do so, you gain the following permanent benefits:
• You are treated as a puppet for all purposes relating to that keyword
• Your health becomes double your current health
• Choose an armour from the Heavy Armour section. You gain proficiency with this armour and are treated as wearing this armour when wearing no armour. You gain the effects, but not the AC, of any additional armour you wear
• You gain proficiency in one weapon of your choice, and can produce a copy of it from within your own body
• You are treated as undead for all purposes relating to that keyword
• You no longer need to eat, sleep, drink or breathe, but you can choose to do so if you wish.
The Eloquent School
Arcane Theatre
When you choose this school at 3rd level, you gain the ability to cast spells from the Puppet Spellbook, detailed at the back of the book. All your spell slots are at the same level, and your spell slots and known spells are as follows:

11 6 8 6 4
15 8 9 8 5

Spell Attack Bonus = your proficiency bonus + Cha modifier

Flourish: Flicks the blade at the end of the strike, showing off while also cutting into flesh a slight bit more. Add Performance Bonus to damage roll
Battle Rehearsal
At 7th level, you’ve trained for your battles while rehearsing your shows, allowing you a small yet extravagant advantage. After an attack roll, but before the DM decides if it hit, you can roll a performance check with disadvantage and add the lower result to your attack roll.
Puppetmaking
At 11th level, you’ve learned to make more elaborate puppets. You gain the ability to craft Witch puppets.
Witch
A Witch puppet is a complex joining of wood, cloth, magic and skill. It can wear clothes, hold items, attack, cast spells, move and perform acrobatics.

Power from Independence
At 15th level, your puppets become more sentient due to the magic they’ve absorbed. When your puppet is more than 45ft away from you, it gets its own turn without you needing to sacrifice a bonus action. In addition, it becomes proficient in Performance if it wasn’t already, and gains a +3 bonus to Performance.
Mastery of Performance
At 18th level, you have perfected the art of puppetry. You may use your Arcane Chains to manipulate inanimate objects below 210 lbs. In addition, you gain a +2 bonus to craft new mods with or without a blueprint.

Chivalry: Increase damage through strength and training, not cowardly means. Add proficiency bonus + Wisdom bonus to damage rolls.
Suit Up!
Starting at 11th level, you can step inside your armoured puppets to protect yourself. While sheltering in a puppet, you cannot perform any action yourself or control any other puppets. In exchange, any enemies must first destroy your puppet before they can affect you in any way.

War School of Puppetry
At 18th level, you’ve been selected to represent your school, but to make them proud, you need to make your puppets even more practical. You must replace mods (min. 1) with additional martial weapons. Puppets with these additional weapons use the triple wield rule, with the new weapons being added to the last place in the chain. A puppet with 5 or more total weapons no longer has room for you to hide in it.
The Noble School
Danse Macabre
When you choose this school at 3rd level, you learn how to act both on and off the stage, and this transfers into battle. You may use a Performance skill check as your attack roll for any finesse weapon attack, and may add your Performance bonus to your AC instead of Dexterity for such armours that use Dexterity.
Puppetmaking
When you choose this school at 3rd level, you learn how to build the Harlequin puppet.
Harlequin
The Harlequin puppet is a flamboyant, multipurpose puppet. It can wear cloth armour, hold items, conceal weapons, attack, move and perform acrobatics. It also has an additional slot for either a Claws or Poison mod.

Puppetmaking
At 11th level, you’ve learned to create stronger, more versatile puppets. You gain the ability to build a Troupe Leader puppet.

The Troupe Leader is a strong puppet designed for personal use by the nobles of the realm. It can entertain just as well as it can fight. It is able to wear armour, hold items, conceal weapons, attack, cast simple spells, move and perform acrobatics. It also has two additional slots for any combination of Claws and Poison mods.

Noble Puppeteer
At 18th level, you are the pride of your school. You carry yourself with grace and dignity, and are confident in your skills both on stage and on the battlefield. You gain one Noble Dice.

I've reduced a lot of the formatting as well because it's a large document and I don't want to be going through putting tags on everything.
Edit: I'm really sorry about the tables, they're not easy to read like this at all, but the table BBcode function is giving me cancer.
New D&D Class – Puppeteer
Basic Idea – Incredibly fragile fighter that relies on strong minions and spells to keep them out of the fight
Quick build
First, make your highest stat Charisma, followed by Intelligence for magic-focussed builds and stronger puppets or Constitution for more survivability on your own. You might also want to use a high Dexterity for stronger armour. Then, select the Entertainer or Charlatan background.
Class Features
Hit Dice: 1D6 per Puppeteer level
Hit Points at 1st level: 7 + Constitution modifier
Hit Points at Higher Levels: 1d6 (or 3) + 1 + Constitution modifier
Proficiencies
Armour: Cloth, Light
Weapons: Simple weapons, Arcane Chains
Tools: Puppetmaking kit, Carpenter’s tools, Tinker’s tools
Saving Throws: Dex, Cha
Skills: Choose any two from the following: Stealth, Persuasion, Insight, Perception, Arcana, Sleight of Hand, Performance
Equipment
You start with the following equipment, in addition to that granted by your background:
• (a) A dagger or (b) a light crossbow and 20 bolts
• (a) Leather armour or (b) Cloth Armour (detailed on next page)
• (a) 1 set of Arcane Chains or (b) a quarterstaff
• A puppetmaking kit
Cloth Armour
As a puppeteer, you have the ability to wear a special kind of armour, called cloth armour. This consists of ordinary clothes, padded out a little to reduce impacts. As a result, it is much better at protecting from bludgeoning hits and damage taken from falling.
Your AC is 10 + your Dexterity bonus. In addition, when taking damage from bludgeoning sources or falling, reduce the damage by 1d6 + your dexterity modifier.
Arcane Chains
These are a finesse weapon which deal no damage. You can extend, contract and manipulate each of the five chains (which are attached to a glove, one chain for each finger). A creature hit with this weapon is considered ‘bound’ but not ‘restrained’ or ‘grappled’ and any flying creature hit will fall 10ft before correcting its flight. A creature may use an action to attempt to escape being bound by the chains by making a Wisdom or Strength saving throw (whichever is lower) against a DC of 10+ your Puppeteer level. If a creature is dropped to 0 hit points while bound, that creature may be reanimated as a new puppet. Only one puppet may be controlled this way, and the hand that wields this weapon must be used solely to control this puppet. Otherwise, the hand that wields this weapon is considered to be empty.
Arcane Chains may be bought from a magic weapon specialist for 100 GP
Puppetmaking
At level 1, you gain the ability to make Basic Puppets. Using a tinker’s toolkit or a carpenter’s toolkit for building puppets is possible, but you will take twice as long and use double the amount of materials as when using a puppetmaking kit. The materials listed in each puppet’s entry assume you are using a puppetmaking kit. Puppets are controlled using a set of Arcane Chains, or you can spend double the preparation time making them suitable for controlling using magic strings that extend from your fingers. Your puppet can be controlled by using a bonus action on your turn to give it a turn after yours. If you are knocked prone or otherwise incapacitated, your puppet shuts down and cannot take any actions or obstruct any creature until you reactivate it. If the puppet is reduced to 0 hit points, it is destroyed and you must spend half of its original materials to repair it outside of combat. Puppets are assumed to have proficiency in whatever weapons they are initially equipped with, otherwise they use the owner’s proficiency.

Entertainer
You are primarily an entertainer, so even while you fight, you like to make a show of it, and maybe even draw from the experience for your next puppet show.
At level 1 you gain the ability to substitute any saving throw with a Performance skill check.
Puppet Modding
At level 2 you become able to upgrade your puppet. You may purchase mods, or attempt to build them from a blueprint, or attempt to experiment and build one without a blueprint. Each of these methods have varying degrees of success. Each puppet may only have one of each type of mod, it takes one minute to insert a mod, one hour to create one, and only one mod may be created per day.

School of Performance
At 3rd level you may choose a school from which you are learning techniques. The choices are: The Eloquent School – this school prefers to use less combat ready puppets in favour of beautiful productions that they practice until their hands bleed. The War School – this school prefers to make strong puppets that are battle-ready and useful, but are not very attractive and have little to no theatrical appeal. The Noble School – this school prefers to balance beauty with effectiveness. They will make beautiful puppets with an assortment of hidden weapons, and will primarily use them for combat, but perform shows as a pastime.
The school you choose will grant you a feature at the levels: 3rd, 7th, 11th, 15th, and 18th, and will grant you new puppets to use that are typical of that school.
Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.
Extra Attack
Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
Master’s Shield
Beginning at 10th level, you may choose to have your puppet intercept any attack aimed at you. As an immediate reaction, your puppet moves towards the attacker, and if it reaches a location where the attack can hit it, the puppet takes the attack instead. The puppet then shuts down for a turn.
Puppet Master’s Quirk
When you reach 14th level, you may reanimate a second puppet using the Arcane Chains, and each hand that wields one may be used as if it was free. The chains may also be used to restrain a hit creature.
Puppet Master’s End
At 20th level, you may choose to modify yourself using your puppetmaking skills. If you do so, you gain the following permanent benefits:
• You are treated as a puppet for all purposes relating to that keyword
• Your health becomes double your current health
• Choose an armour from the Heavy Armour section. You gain proficiency with this armour and are treated as wearing this armour when wearing no armour. You gain the effects, but not the AC, of any additional armour you wear
• You gain proficiency in one weapon of your choice, and can produce a copy of it from within your own body
• You are treated as undead for all purposes relating to that keyword
• You no longer need to eat, sleep, drink or breathe, but you can choose to do so if you wish.

I've reduced a lot of the formatting as well because it's a large document and I don't want to be going through putting tags on everything.
Edit: I'm really sorry about the tables, they're not easy to read like this at all, but the table BBcode function is giving me cancer.
