Class experimenter for fifth edition DND: Psionics and mutations.

Greetings all lovers of board role -playing games. In this topic, I would like to present the class invented by me for the Dungeons & Dragons system of the fifth edition, offering players greater flexibility than classes from the player’s book, and also allowing you to turn your character into a real monster, tearing off the clocks of claws or crushing their mind with its awakened psheonic abilities!

Experimenter

An elderly half -carbal cord over the letter, despite the fact that twilight had long fallen into the middle of dense forests for a small farm, in the middle of dense forests. Only a dull moonlight, breaking through the only window not stabbed in the house, illuminated the room. After a couple of minutes and several rejected sheets, a half -carbard leaned back in the back of a shabby chair to evaluate the result of his labors:

“All brave adventurers!

People began to disappear in the surrounding forests, which means it was time to open a new hunting season for wolves. Every hero who will bring me ten wolf tails as evidence of his victory over fanged beasts will receive a reward of 100 gold coins! I can be found on a distant farm, near the northern coast of the dawn lake.

Randal Gipryg, forester.“

Satisfied with read, the semi -nerd went to the window and attached a message to the paw of the raven. After the bird flew away in the direction of the nearest settlement, the old man slowly wandered towards his rooster – a bit out bed, covered with a scattering of bones and decaying pieces of meat. The last thing the monster thought before going to bed was: “I hope there will be elves among the adventurers. I have been looking for elven ears for so long! However, half -elf should also come up. “.

Obsessed with research

The experimenters stand on the advanced lines of alchemy, changing their body with various mutagenes. However, despite the outstanding results, most people consider such experiments blasphemous and unacceptable, because in the process of transformation of the body of the subjects they are damaged beyond recognition. However, the experimenters are ready to go to such a modest (by their standards) victim. In the end, they are leaded by a desperate desire to achieve more: to surpass others, reveal some of the most hidden secrets of the universe or even achieve immortality … if you are lucky, of course.

Loss of humanity

The farther the experimenter comes in in his experiments, the stronger he becomes, and the less he remains from his previous. Not only its appearance changes, but also the way of thinking, which is gradually becoming more cruel and prudent. Let not all experimenters include evil, only a few of them will be able to remember at least one reason why they should help others.

Experimenters are often mistaken for monsters, especially those of them who have long been practicing such a dubious art. Sometimes such an assessment is quite deserved, because some of them do not disdain and experiments on representatives of reasonable races. However, even an exclusively virtuous experimenter will be difficult to overcome the distrust and disgust of others.

Creating an experimenter

During the creation of the character, decide why he stood on such a dangerous and dubious path. What a desire prompts him to experience experiments? How far he is ready to go? How it interacts with others? Who taught his alchemy? What event was the starting point for starting experiments?

Fast creation

You can quickly create an experimenter, following these recommendations. Firstly, your physique should have the highest value, the following in size should be dexterity or intelligence. Secondly, select the background “Hermit”.

Class skills

Experimenters have the following class skills.

Hit bone: 1D8 for each level of the experimenter. Hits at 1 level: 8 + physique modifier. Hits at the following levels: 1D8 (or 5) + physique modifier for each level of the experimenter after the first.

Armor: No. Weapons: No. Tools: Alchemist tools. Savior: physique, intelligence. Skills: Select three skills of the following: analysis, athletics, acrobatics, attentiveness, survival, intimidation, medicine, nature, secrecy.

You start with the following equipment in addition to the equipment received for your background: – a) a set of a scientist or b) a set of traveler. – Alchemist tools.

The subject of the study

At the 1st level, you choose the subject of conducted studies: mind or body. See details at the end of the class description. Your choice will determine the skills provided at 1, 5, 10 and 15 levels.

Protection without armor

Starting from level 1, if you do not wear armor, your armor is 10 + dexterity modifier + physique modifier. You can use the shield without losing this advantage.

Experimental mutations

Your experiments on your own body gradually transform it, providing a number of advantages. At the 2nd level, you get one mutation of your choice. See the list of mutations at the end of the description of this class. You also get new mutations for 3, 6, 7, 9, 11, 13, 14, 17 and 18 levels.

Increased characteristics

When reaching 4, 8, 12, 16 and 19, you can increase the value of one of your characteristics by 2 or two characteristics by 1. As usual, the value of the characteristic should not exceed 20.

Super -blade

At the level 20 you reach the top of the food chain. You can no longer be frightened, and all your tests of charisma (intimidation) are performed with an advantage.

The subject of the study

Each experimenter dreams of going beyond his own capabilities, but no one to achieve perfection immediately in all directions, and therefore they first need to decide on the subject of conducted research. The following areas are presented here: the study of the mind and the study of the body.

The study of the mind

The experimenter studying the mind reveals in himself psychionic abilities that allow him to influence the minds of others, causing harm or taking control.

Awakening of the limbic system

If you have chosen this direction, then at the level 1 your mind will awaken, giving you psionic abilities. The basic characteristic for psionic abilities is intelligence, and the complexity of saving scraps from them is calculated by the following formula:

The complexity of the rescue = 8 + skill bonus + intelligence modifier.

The radius of psionic effects = 60 feet (10 feet or less – the rescue is performed with an obstacle, 30 feet or more – the rescue is made with an advantage).

Touching the mind

At the 1st level, you get the opportunity to mentally “touch” the minds of creatures nearby, but this effect is destructive and harms them. You are not obliged to see the goal in order to influence it, but you need to know its exact location. However, if there are 1 foot stone between you and the target, 1 inch of ordinary metal, a thin leaf of lead or 3 feet of a tree, then you cannot “touch” her mind. The goal should succeed in saving intelligence, otherwise it receives damage to the psychic energy of 1D10 + intelligence modifier. Damage from this ability increases by 1D10, when you reach the 5th level of the experimenter (2D10 + intelligence modifier), 11 levels of the experimenter (3D10 + intelligence modifier) ​​and 17 levels of the experimenter (4D10 + intelligence modifier). The attack by this ability can be non -lethal, but the loss of consciousness from it will cause a temporary insanity in the creature that lasts a day. Being in a state of insanity, the creature will not be able to give intelligible answers to the questions asked and adequately respond to the surrounding stimuli. Undead and constructs always make this test with an advantage, and also receive only half a damage if they do not have immunity to mental energy.

At 5, you master your psionic abilities sufficiently to try to take the creature within the radius of psionic effects under your control. You must see the goal to influence it. The goal should succeed in saving intelligence, otherwise it will be forced to obey your teams in her next move. The goal automatically succeeds in saving, if the value of its intelligence exceeds half of the amount of the value of your intelligence and the level of the experimenter rounded in the smaller side. To give instructions, you must see the goal and spend the reaction to their mental transmission. In addition, the goal will not obey the orders that put her life at risk. Having succeeded in saving intelligence, the goal will be alarmed by a failed invasion of her mind, but will not know exactly who tried to do it. If the goal has failed to save the intelligence, then she will understand that it was you. The goal will be freed from your control in the following conditions: if the goal is attacked by you or your allies;If the goal goes beyond the radius of your psionic effects;If you can no longer see the goal;If during your next course you will not spend the action of keeping the goal under control (the goal will again save intellect). Undead and constructs always make this test with an advantage.

The third eye

When you reach level 10, the third eye grows on your forehead, thanks to which you can scan the environment within the radius of psionic effects with a bonus action. Each creature in this radius should make a saving intelligence, otherwise it will be discovered, and you will know its current location. 1 foot stone, 1 inch of ordinary metal, thin leaf of lead or 3 feet of wood completely protect the creature from the effect of this ability. Undead and constructs always make this test with an advantage.

The release of mental energy

At the level 15, you can begin to begin the release of the accumulated mental energy within the radius of psionic effects. 1 foot stone, 1 inch of ordinary metal, thin leaf of lead or 3 feet of wood completely protect the creature from the effect of this ability. All creatures (except you) who have fallen under the discharge should succeed in saving intelligence, otherwise they will lose consciousness and will be incompetent (they will wake up in an hour or upon receipt of damage), but the number of their hits will remain the same. This ability also acts on the allies, in addition, after its application, you lose your psionic forces until you make a short or long rest. You cannot use this ability until you finish a long vacation.

Body examination

Those experimenters who study the body turn their body into a real weapon. They are able to grow sharp claws and make furious attacks, likened to monsters.

If you have chosen this direction, then long claws will begin to grow from your fingers at the 1st level. You can draw or release them with a bonus action. While the claws are released on your hands, you are checking the dexterity (dexterity of the hands) with an obstacle. If you use the attack on the attack of claws in your move, then you can make another attack with the claws of the other hand with a bonus effect, adding a modifier to the characteristics from the second attack.

Modifier of the attack of the attack claws: Mastery bonus + a modifier of strength or dexterity.

Damage from the attack with claws: 1D6 + a modifier of strength or dexterity (chopping).

Additional attack

Starting from level 5, if you take the attack on your move, you can make two attacks instead of one.

The third hand

When reaching 10 levels from your body, the third hand begins to grow. You yourself determine where it comes from. The third hand can use the shield, increasing the CD by 2, even if you do not have appropriate possession, without any fines. Also, the third hand can make an attack with claws with a bonus effect at the same time with the second, adding a modifier to the characteristics to the damage from the second attack. The third hand prevents you from wearing armor or clothes, if they, of course, are not made taking into account your specifics.

Uncontrolled rage

Starting from level 15, you can enter your course with a bonus action into a state of uncontrolled rage, which imposes the following effects on you: you make with the advantage of checking and saving strength and dexterity;You make attacks with your claws with an advantage;You get resistance to all types of damage;You do not distinguish between allies and enemies, attacking the nearest capable creature;If you were able to use spells, then you cannot use or concentrate on spells while you are in a state of rage. Your rage lasts 1 minute, after which you will get one level of fatigue. Uncontrolled rage can only be interrupted if you lose consciousness. You cannot use this ability until you finish a long vacation.
