Clockwork Casting
A gearmage has devised a powerful programmable clockwork device which allows him to mimic the effects of arcane spellcasting. A gearmage casts spells from the Gearmage spell list. A gearmage must prepare pre-programmed cartridges containing the data for the spells he will cast that day. These cartridges are not expended when the spell is cast. Instead, he can cast a spell from any prepared cartridge, consuming a spell slot of the appropriate level, assuming she hasn’t yet used up her spell slots per day for that level.
To learn, prepare, or cast a spell, the gearmage must have an Intelligence score equal to at least 10 + the spell’s level. The saving throw DC against an gearmage’s spell is 10 + the spell’s level + the gearmage’s Intelligence modifier.
A gearmage can only cast a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. His base daily spell allotment is given on Table: Gearmage under “Spells per Day.” In addition, he receives bonus spells per day if he has a high Intelligence score.
A gearmage may know any number of spells, but the number he can prepare each day is limited. At 1st level, he can prepare four 0-level cartridges and two 1st-level cartridges each day. At each new gearmage level, the number of cartridges he can prepare each day increases, adding new spell levels as indicated on Table: Cartridges Prepared. Unlike the number of spells he can cast per day, the number of cartridges a gearmage can prepare each day is not affected by his Intelligence score. Feats and other effects that modify the number of spells known by a spellcaster instead affect the number of cartridges a gearmage can prepare.
A gearmage must prepare his cartridges ahead of time by getting 8 hours of sleep and spending 1 hour programming them. While doing so, he decides what spells or metamagic to prepare and refreshes his available spell slots for the day.
Unlike other spellcaster’s, a gearmage can prepare a metamagic feat he knows in place of a spell of the same level as the metamagic feat’s effective spell level increase while preparing his cartridges. A gearmage can apply prepared metamagic cartridges to a spell as he casts it, without an increase in casting time.
A gearmage can not prepare spells with metamagic feats applied, or add metamagic feats to a spell that he has not prepared as a cartridge.

Cantrips
Gearmages can prepare a number of cantrips, or 0-level spell cartridges, each day as noted on Table: Spells Prepared. These spell cartridges are cast like any other spell cartridge, but they do not consume spell slots. 0-level cartridges can contain only spell data, and can’t be used to apply metamagic or enhancements.
Inspiration (Ex)
A gearmage is beyond knowledgeable and skilled—he also possesses keen powers of ingenuity that far surpass the abilities of others. A gearmage typically uses these powers to aid in their inventing, but can also use these flashes of inspiration in other situations.
A gearmage has the ability to augment skill checks and ability checks through his brilliant inspiration. The gearmage has an inspiration pool equal to 1/2 his gearmage level + his Intelligence modifier (minimum 1). A gearmage’s inspiration pool refreshes each day, typically after he gets a restful night’s sleep. As a free action, he can expend one use of inspiration from his pool to add 1d6 to the result of that check, including any on which he takes 10 or 20. This choice is made after the check is rolled and before the results are revealed. An gearmage can only use inspiration once per check or roll. The gearmage can use inspiration on any Craft, Disable Device, or Use Magic Device skill checks without expending a use of inspiration, provided he’s trained in the skill.
Inspiration can also be used on attack rolls and saving throws, at the cost of expending two uses of inspiration each time from the gearmage’s pool. In the case of saving throws, using inspiration is an immediate action rather than a free action.
Discovery
At 1st level, 2nd level, and every two levels following, the gearmage makes a discovery from the list of gearmage discoveries.
Trapfinding
The gearmage adds ½ his class level to perception skill checks made to locate traps and to Disable Device skill checks (minimum +1). The gearmage can use Disable Device to disarm magic traps.
Clockwork Ally
The gearmage has designed a clockwork ally. He gains either the Familiar Bond or the Animal Ally feat without meeting the prerequisites, except his familiar or animal companion gains the Construct type and Clockwork subtype.
The gearmage must be at least level 6 before selecting this discovery
Improved Clockwork Ally
The gearmage has fitted his clockwork ally with a miniaturized version of his clockwork casting device. The ally can cast a number of spells as a gearmage of its master’s level - 6, using its master’s intelligence score in place of its own. The clockwork ally must be given cartridges taken from the gearmage’s normal allotment in order to use this device.
The gearmage must have the clockwork ally discovery before selecting this discovery.
Light Clockwork Armor
The gearmage creates for himself a suit of armor with clockwork enhancements. This armor is treated as a masterwork lamellar cuirass. The gearmage also becomes proficient with light armor, and does not suffer arcane spell failure chance while wearing his light clockwork armor.
Medium Clockwork Armor
The gearmage creates for himself a suit of armor with clockwork enhancements. This armor is treated as a masterwork breastplate. The gearmage also becomes proficient with medium armor, and does not suffer arcane spell failure chance while wearing his medium clockwork armor.
The gearmage must have proficiency with light armor before selecting this discovery.
Heavy Clockwork Armor
The gearmage creates for himself a suit of armor with clockwork enhancements. This armor is treated as masterwork full plate. The gearmage also becomes proficient with heavy armor, and does not suffer arcane spell failure chance while wearing his heavy clockwork armor.
The gearmage must have proficiency with medium armor before selecting this discovery.
Clockwork Wings
The gearmage integrates a set of wings into his clockwork armor. This allows him to cast fly on himself as an extraordinary ability by winding a built-in clockwork mechanism as a full-round action, except it only lasts 1 round per gearmage level. Additionally, he always takes half the normal damage from falling, and can glide, moving horizontally up to half the vertical distance fallen.
The gearmage must be at least 10th level and have any clockwork armor discovery before selecting this discovery.
Clockwork Musculature
The gearmage develops a system inside his clockwork armor to enhance his strength and assist with lifting. This triples the gearmage’s carrying capacity, and allows him to move at full speed while wearing his medium clockwork armor. Additionally, he can cast bull’s strength on himself as an extraordinary ability by winding a built-in clockwork mechanism, except it only lasts 1 round per gearmage level.
The gearmage must be at least 10th level and have any clockwork armor discovery before selecting this discovery.
Clockwork Turret
The gearmage installs advanced weaponry into his clockwork armor. A heavy crossbow is mounted on the armor’s shoulder, which reloads automatically at the start of each of the gearmage’s turns. He can fire this crossbow as if he were wielding it. Additionally, by winding a built-in clockwork mechanism as a full-round action, he can, for a number of rounds equal to his gearmage level, fire it as a swift action. The crossbow has a slot for an enhancement cartridge.
The gearmage must be at least 10th level and have any clockwork armor discovery before selecting this discovery.
Clockwork Shield
The gearmage creates for himself a shield with mechanized components. This is treated as a light or heavy steel shield. In addition, he gains proficiency with shields (but not tower shields), and does not suffer arcane spell failure chance when wielding shields. He treats his hand as free while wielding his clockwork shield in that hand.
Improved Clockwork Shield
The gearmage enhances his shield with advanced technologies. He no longer suffers an armor check penalty from his clockwork shield. In addition, he can wind his shield as a full-round action in order to apply his shield bonus to AC against touch attacks for a number of rounds equal to his gearmage level.
Armor Enhancement Cartridges
The gearmage can use his enhancement cartridge slots with his clockwork armor or shields. In addition, he can apply the following qualities to prepared enhancement cartridges: balanced, bitter, fortification (heavy, light, or medium), ghost touch, invulnerability, spell resistance (13, 15, 17, or 19), or spell storing.
These qualities can be applied only to armor.
The gearmage must have the any clockwork armor or clockwork shield discovery before selecting this discovery.
Clockwork Weapon
The gearmage can select one kind of martial weapon. He gains proficiency with weapons of that type, and creates a masterwork clockwork version of that weapon. He treats his hand as free when casting a spell while wielding his clockwork weapon in that hand. Additionally, any feat that the gearmage possesses that affects a specific kind of weapon, such as Weapon Focus, always apply to the clockwork weapon.
Improved Clockwork Weapon
The gearmage can select another kind of weapon of any type. He gains proficiency with weapons of that type. By winding his clockwork weapon as a full-round action he can, for a number of rounds equal to his gearmage level, reconfigure his clockwork weapon into the newly selected weapon type or back as a free action. This discovery can be selected multiple times. Each time it applies to another variety of weapon.
Clockwork Gauntlets
The gearmage creates a pair of gauntlets that allow him to wield a two-handed melee weapon in one hand with a –2 penalty on attack rolls while doing so. The weapon must be appropriately sized for him, and is treated as one-handed when determining the effect of Power Attack, Strength bonus to damage, and the like.
The gearmage must be at least 4th level before selecting this discovery
Clockwork Trap
The gearmage learns two ranger traps. The gearmage may use these traps a number of times per day equal to ½ the gearmage’s level + his Intelligence bonus (minimum 1). The DC for the trap is equal to 10 + ½ the gearmage’s level + his Intelligence bonus, and it lasts 1 day per gearmage level.
The gearmage can only set extraordinary traps with this feat; like all extraordinary ranger traps, this decreases the trap DC by 2. This discovery can be selected multiple times. Each time he learns two additional traps.
Improved Clockwork Trap
The gearmage learns one ranger trap. He can now set supernatural traps. These traps only last 1 hour per gearmage level.
The gearmage must have the clockwork trap discovery before selecting this discovery.
Clockwork Bombs (Ex)
The gearmage learns to craft explosives similarly to an alchemist, but extraordinary, rather than supernatural, in nature. Each bomb the gearmage creates consumes one of his cartridge slots that day. The bombs deal damage as the bombs of an alchemist his level, except that the target of the bomb takes additional damage equal to the level of the cartridge consumed to create the bomb, and the save DC to halve the splash damage is increased by the same amount.
Clockwork Battery
The gearmage develops a clockwork battery that he can wind up in advance in order to power his other devices. He can give the battery one charge by winding as a full-round action. As long as the battery remains charged, he can wind another of his devices as a swift action, expending a charge. The battery can hold a number of charges equal to the gearmage’s Intelligence modifier (min 1).
Fast Winding
All gearmage discoveries and class features that require winding now take less time to perform. A full-round action becomes a standard action, and a standard action becomes a move action. This discovery can be selected twice.
Scholarly Inspiration (Ex)
The gearmage can add his inspiration die to any attempted Knowledge, Linguistics, or Spellcraft skill check without expending a use of inspiration, so long as he is trained in that skill.
Investigator Talent
The gearmage can select one of the following Investigator Talents as a Gearmage Discovery, treating his gearmage level as his investigator level:
Amazing Inspiration, Applied Engineering, Combat Inspiration, Item Lore, Tenacious Inspiration, Unconventional Inspiration
This discovery can be taken multiple times; each time grants a different talent.
Arcane Discovery
The gearmage can select one of the following Wizard Arcane Discoveries as a Gearmage Discovery, treating his gearmage level as his wizard level:
Arcane Builder, Defensive Feedback, Golem Constructor, Knowledge is Power, Resilient Illusions
This discovery can be taken multiple times; each time grants a different discovery.
Enhancement Cartridges (Su)
Starting at 3rd level, a gearmage can prepare cartridges with weapon enhancement data, rather than with spell or metamagic data. These provide a total enhancement bonus equal to their cartridge level. This bonus stacks with any existing enhancement bonus the weapon might possess.
If applied to a 2nd level cartridge or higher, these bonuses can be used to add any of the following weapon properties: dancing, distance, flaming, flaming burst, frost, icy burst, keen, nimble shot, returning, shock, shocking burst, speed, or vorpal.
Adding these properties consumes an amount of bonus equal to the property’s base price modifier. At least a +1 enhancement bonus must be added before any other properties can be added. These bonuses and properties are decided when the cartridge is prepared and cannot be changed until the next time the gearmage prepares cartridges.
The gearmage has developed slots for weapons that he can insert these cartridges into. He is able to maintain a number of these slots equal to his Intelligence modifier. (min 1) A cartridge can be inserted as a move action and ejected as a swift action.
The gearmage can wind up any weapon with such a cartridge inserted into its slot as a full-round action in order to apply the enhancements of that cartridge to the weapon for a number of rounds equal to the gearmage’s level. This does not consume the cartridge.
A weapon can have multiple cartridge slots, but can only benefit from one at any given time, chosen when the weapon is wound.
The dancing, keen, and vorpal qualities apply only to melee weapons, and the distance, nimble shot, and returning qualities apply only to ranged weapons.
Repair (Ex)
At 3rd level, the gearmage is proficient at quickly repairing broken or damaged items. As a full-round action, the gearmage can restore 1d4 hit points to a damaged object or construct touched. The damage repaired from this ability increases by 1d4 at 7th level, and every four levels following.
Bonus Feats
At 5th level, 9th level, and every four following levels, the gearmage may select an item crafting or metamagic feat as a bonus feat.

Clockwork Casting
A gearmage has devised a powerful programmable clockwork device which allows him to mimic the effects of arcane spellcasting. A gearmage casts spells from the Gearmage spell list. A gearmage must prepare pre-programmed cartridges containing the data for the spells he will cast that day. These cartridges are not expended when the spell is cast. Instead, he can cast a spell from any prepared cartridge, consuming a spell slot of the appropriate level, assuming she hasn’t yet used up her spell slots per day for that level.
To learn, prepare, or cast a spell, the gearmage must have an Intelligence score equal to at least 10 + the spell’s level. The saving throw DC against an gearmage’s spell is 10 + the spell’s level + the gearmage’s Intelligence modifier.
A gearmage can only cast a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. His base daily spell allotment is given on Table: Gearmage under “Spells per Day.” In addition, he receives bonus spells per day if he has a high Intelligence score.
A gearmage may know any number of spells, but the number he can prepare each day is limited. At 1st level, he can prepare four 0-level cartridges and two 1st-level cartridges each day. At each new gearmage level, the number of cartridges he can prepare each day increases, adding new spell levels as indicated on Table: Cartridges Prepared. Unlike the number of spells he can cast per day, the number of cartridges a gearmage can prepare each day is not affected by his Intelligence score. Feats and other effects that modify the number of spells known by a spellcaster instead affect the number of cartridges a gearmage can prepare.
A gearmage must prepare his cartridges ahead of time by getting 8 hours of sleep and spending 1 hour programming them. While doing so, he decides what spells or metamagic to prepare and refreshes his available spell slots for the day.
Unlike other spellcaster’s, a gearmage can prepare a metamagic feat he knows in place of a spell of the same level as the metamagic feat’s effective spell level increase while preparing his cartridges. A gearmage can apply prepared metamagic cartridges to a spell as he casts it, without an increase in casting time.
A gearmage can not prepare spells with metamagic feats applied, or add metamagic feats to a spell that he has not prepared as a cartridge.

Cantrips
Gearmages can prepare a number of cantrips, or 0-level spell cartridges, each day as noted on Table: Spells Prepared. These spell cartridges are cast like any other spell cartridge, but they do not consume spell slots. 0-level cartridges can contain only spell data, and can’t be used to apply metamagic or enhancements.
Inspiration (Ex)

Additionally, by winding a built-in clockwork mechanism as a full-round action, he can, for a number of rounds equal to his gearmage level, fire it as a swift action. The crossbow has a slot for an enhancement cartridge.
The gearmage must be at least 10th level and have any clockwork armor discovery before selecting this discovery.
Clockwork Shield
The gearmage creates for himself a shield with mechanized components. This is treated as a light or heavy steel shield. In addition, he gains proficiency with shields (but not tower shields), and does not suffer arcane spell failure chance when wielding shields. He treats his hand as free while wielding his clockwork shield in that hand.
Improved Clockwork Shield
The gearmage enhances his shield with advanced technologies. He no longer suffers an armor check penalty from his clockwork shield. In addition, he can wind his shield as a full-round action in order to apply his shield bonus to AC against touch attacks for a number of rounds equal to his gearmage level.
Armor Enhancement Cartridges
The gearmage can use his enhancement cartridge slots with his clockwork armor or shields. In addition, he can apply the following qualities to prepared enhancement cartridges: balanced, bitter, fortification (heavy, light, or medium), ghost touch, invulnerability, spell resistance (13, 15, 17, or 19), or spell storing.
These qualities can be applied only to armor.
The gearmage must have the any clockwork armor or clockwork shield discovery before selecting this discovery.
Clockwork Weapon
The gearmage can select one kind of martial weapon. He gains proficiency with weapons of that type, and creates a masterwork clockwork version of that weapon. He treats his hand as free when casting a spell while wielding his clockwork weapon in that hand. Additionally, any feat that the gearmage possesses that affects a specific kind of weapon, such as Weapon Focus, always apply to the clockwork weapon.
Improved Clockwork Weapon
The gearmage can select another kind of weapon of any type. He gains proficiency with weapons of that type. By winding his clockwork weapon as a full-round action he can, for a number of rounds equal to his gearmage level, reconfigure his clockwork weapon into the newly selected weapon type or back as a free action. This discovery can be selected multiple times. Each time it applies to another variety of weapon.
Clockwork Gauntlets
The gearmage creates a pair of gauntlets that allow him to wield a two-handed melee weapon in one hand with a –2 penalty on attack rolls while doing so. The weapon must be appropriately sized for him, and is treated as one-handed when determining the effect of Power Attack, Strength bonus to damage, and the like.
The gearmage must be at least 4th level before selecting this discovery
Clockwork Trap
The gearmage learns two ranger traps. The gearmage may use these traps a number of times per day equal to ½ the gearmage’s level + his Intelligence bonus (minimum 1). The DC for the trap is equal to 10 + ½ the gearmage’s level + his Intelligence bonus, and it lasts 1 day per gearmage level.
The gearmage can only set extraordinary traps with this feat; like all extraordinary ranger traps, this decreases the trap DC by 2. This discovery can be selected multiple times. Each time he learns two additional traps.
Improved Clockwork Trap
The gearmage learns one ranger trap. He can now set supernatural traps. These traps only last 1 hour per gearmage level.
The gearmage must have the clockwork trap discovery before selecting this discovery.
Clockwork Bombs (Ex)
The gearmage learns to craft explosives similarly to an alchemist, but extraordinary, rather than supernatural, in nature. Each bomb the gearmage creates consumes one of his cartridge slots that day. The bombs deal damage as the bombs of an alchemist his level, except that the target of the bomb takes additional damage equal to the level of the cartridge consumed to create the bomb, and the save DC to halve the splash damage is increased by the same amount.
Clockwork Battery
The gearmage develops a clockwork battery that he can wind up in advance in order to power his other devices. He can give the battery one charge by winding as a full-round action. As long as the battery remains charged, he can wind another of his devices as a swift action, expending a charge. The battery can hold a number of charges equal to the gearmage’s Intelligence modifier (min 1).
Fast Winding
All gearmage discoveries and class features that require winding now take less time to perform. A full-round action becomes a standard action, and a standard action becomes a move action. This discovery can be selected twice.
Scholarly Inspiration (Ex)
The gearmage can add his inspiration die to any attempted Knowledge, Linguistics, or Spellcraft skill check without expending a use of inspiration, so long as he is trained in that skill.
Investigator Talent
The gearmage can select one of the following Investigator Talents as a Gearmage Discovery, treating his gearmage level as his investigator level:
Amazing Inspiration, Applied Engineering, Combat Inspiration, Item Lore, Tenacious Inspiration, Unconventional Inspiration
This discovery can be taken multiple times; each time grants a different talent.
Arcane Discovery
The gearmage can select one of the following Wizard Arcane Discoveries as a Gearmage Discovery, treating his gearmage level as his wizard level:
Arcane Builder, Defensive Feedback, Golem Constructor, Knowledge is Power, Resilient Illusions
This discovery can be taken multiple times; each time grants a different discovery.
Enhancement Cartridges (Su)
Starting at 3rd level, a gearmage can prepare cartridges with weapon enhancement data, rather than with spell or metamagic data. These provide a total enhancement bonus equal to their cartridge level. This bonus stacks with any existing enhancement bonus the weapon might possess.
If applied to a 2nd level cartridge or higher, these bonuses can be used to add any of the following weapon properties: dancing, distance, flaming, flaming burst, frost, icy burst, keen, nimble shot, returning, shock, shocking burst, speed, or vorpal.
Adding these properties consumes an amount of bonus equal to the property’s base price modifier. At least a +1 enhancement bonus must be added before any other properties can be added. These bonuses and properties are decided when the cartridge is prepared and cannot be changed until the next time the gearmage prepares cartridges.
The gearmage has developed slots for weapons that he can insert these cartridges into. He is able to maintain a number of these slots equal to his Intelligence modifier. (min 1) A cartridge can be inserted as a move action and ejected as a swift action.
The gearmage can wind up any weapon with such a cartridge inserted into its slot as a full-round action in order to apply the enhancements of that cartridge to the weapon for a number of rounds equal to the gearmage’s level. This does not consume the cartridge.
A weapon can have multiple cartridge slots, but can only benefit from one at any given time, chosen when the weapon is wound.
The dancing, keen, and vorpal qualities apply only to melee weapons, and the distance, nimble shot, and returning qualities apply only to ranged weapons.
Repair (Ex)
At 3rd level, the gearmage is proficient at quickly repairing broken or damaged items. As a full-round action, the gearmage can restore 1d4 hit points to a damaged object or construct touched. The damage repaired from this ability increases by 1d4 at 7th level, and every four levels following.
Bonus Feats
At 5th level, 9th level, and every four following levels, the gearmage may select an item crafting or metamagic feat as a bonus feat.
