{{Path|Classes|[[Researcher]]|Technomancer}} __TOC__ '''Technomancer''' is one of several possible subclasses you can gain at the 2nd level of the [[researcher]] class. Your subclass affects which spells you can learn as a researcher. Your subclass grants features at 2nd, 6th, 10th, 14th, 18th, and 20th levels. As a technomancer, your study focuses on a specific, ancient and mostly-forgotten form of magic revolving around unique material components. This form of magic is sometimes referred to as 'technology,' hence the common name of technomancers. Those who study your craft are known under other titles as well, including arcanists, doctors, historians, machinists, professors, and tinkers. Compared to other [[researcher]]s, your magic focuses more around manipulating and transmuting objects, including weapons and armor that can be utilized by you or your allies. == Magic Points == At 2nd level, and every researcher level you gain after this, your [[Researcher#Magic Meter|magic points]] increase by 4. ==School Proficiencies== At 2nd level, your technological studies grant you several additional proficiencies. You gain proficiency with all simple [[weapons]], with light [[armor]], with [[shield]]s (but not [[heavy shield]]s), and with [[bomb]]s. You become proficient in the [[History]] [[skill]]. If you were already proficient in this skill, you can instead gain proficiency in another skill from [[Animal Handling]], [[Arcana]], [[Engineering]], [[Medicine]], [[Nature]], and [[Religion]]. You become proficient with [[tinker's tools]]. If you are already proficient, you can instead gain proficiency in any one [[artisan's tool]]. ==Versatile Casting== At 2nd level, you learn to cast spells with nimble ease. You can perform the [[somatic component]]s of your researcher spells even when you have objects in one or both hands. ==Ancient Weaponry== At 6th level, you learn to enhance weapons with arcane technology that draws upon your own magic reserves. You have a number of ancient cores equal to your {{int}} modifier. An ancient core is a manifestation of your magic, which is formless unless it is applied to another item. During any [[short rest]], you can expend any number of these ancient cores to enhance simple or martial weapons. To do so, you must be able to hold and manipulate the weapon, and have access to [[tinker's tools]]. For each core you expend on a weapon, it grants its wielder a cumulative +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls with that weapon. The maximum enhancement you can place on a single weapon is equal half to your proficiency modifier, rounded up. Any weapon with one of these enhancements is considered magical. If the weapon to enhanced is magical and already has an inherent bonus to attack and damage rolls, you can increase the bonus by 1 for each core expended, but not so the total bonus exceeds half your proficiency modifier (rounded up). When you (and only you) attack with a weapon you have enhanced with this feature, you can treat it as a spell attack. You use your {{int}} modifier for attack and damage rolls with the weapon. You regain your ancient cores whenever your enhancements end. You can end any number of your core enhancements at any time, over any distance, as an action. ==War Magic== Beginning at 6th level, when you use your action to cast a [[Researcher#Cantrips|cantrip]], you can make one weapon attack as a [[bonus action]]. ==Ancient Armor== At 10th level, you learn to enhance [[armor]] (but not [[shield]]s) in the same way you enhance weapons. The maximum number of your ancient cores permanently doubles; it becomes equal to twice your {{int}} modifier. Whenever you would be able to enhance weapons with your {{inpage|Ancient Weaponry}} feature, you can also enhance armor. For every 2 cores you expend on a suit of armor, that armor grants its wearer a cumulative +1 bonus to AC. The maximum enhancement you can place on armor is equal to your proficiency modifier minus 3. If the armor is magical and already has an inherent bonus to AC, you can increase the bonus by 1 for every 2 cores expended, but not so the total bonus exceeds the maximum enchantment. Any armor with one of these enhancements is considered magical. Just as with weapons, you can end any enhancement you've placed on any suit(s) of armor at any time, over any distance, as an action. Doing so causes you to regain the cores that you had expended on that armor. ==Construct Expertise== At 14th level, your studies on arcane machinery bloom. You become able to aid or exploit [[construct]]s in a multitude of ways. You gain the following benefits: * You have [[advantage]] on any {{int}} check to recall lore about [[construct]]s. * You wield an innate understanding of how these creatures process information. You add your [[proficiency bonus]] to all [[Intelligence]], [[Wisdom]], or [[Charisma]] checks made against or about constructs. * You are inherently aware of any construct's physical makeup, and know how to exploit weaknesses in its design. Any [[attack roll]] you make targeting a construct has [[advantage]]. * You know how to weave your magic in such a way that you can repair constructs in ways others cannot. Whenever you target a construct with a spell that restores {{hp}}, you can restore the construct's {{hp}} regardless of its [[creature type]]. ==Ancient Surplus== At 18th level, the maximum number of your ancient cores permanently increases. It is now equal to 15, regardless of your {{int}} modifier. ==Master of the Ancient== At 20th level, your mastery of arcane magic and ancient history reaches its zenith. You gain the following benefits: * You have [[advantage]] on all [[Intelligence]] ([[History]]) and [[Intelligence]] ([[Arcana]]) checks. * Whenever you make an attack with any simple or martial weapon that doesn't have a bonus to attack and damage rolls, you gain a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls with that weapon, its damage is considered magical, and it inflicts an extra 7 (2d6) force damage on a hit. You can use your {{int}} modifier for attack and damage rolls with this weapon if you otherwise could not. * If you are unarmored or your armor is not magical, you gain a +3 bonus to your AC. Any nonmagical armor becomes magical while you wear it. ==Technomancer Spells== {{Subclass Spell List|Technomancer}} [[Category:Schools of Research]] [[Category:Subclasses]]
