[QUOTE="JSexton, post: 7260611, member: 6915651"] Sure! So this is still a bit of a work in progress, as we see what is or isn't broken. Our setting is higher in magic than standard 5e, so there's some buffing to keep up with wizards in power level. The idea here is that his character has zero magical talent, so he's turned to inventing to compensate. Base is still fighter, though, and a lot of his inventions are combat-oriented. Still plenty of general utility, though. Gadgets: I generated a list of possible gadgets to build (some from various home brews, some original), and he's certainly free to innovate his own.

The DC to make it is also higher. Much like spell slots, he has a limit on total gadgets that can be active at one time, and limits on how many can be Advanced or higher. He can also collect scrap metal on adventures, and use that to offset gold, up to 1/2 the cost of the gadget. Grenades: Separate from gadgets, he can build grenades of varying damage types, up to a limit based on level. Ranged attack to throw them where he wants to place them.
