Finally, the tinkers are coming! Inventors with vivid imaginations, mad scientists, brilliant researchers and resourceful adventurers, tinkers will bring that missing technological touch to your adventures. Don't miss the chance to fight your enemies and help allies with the power of ingenuity!

In the 12-page PDF, which looks like the missing piece of the Player's Handbook, you will find a new class for 5E and its 3 archetypes.

Building gadgets is what characterizes the tinker class. Early in his career, each inventor knows a limited list of functions, each having a complexity value, that he can put together into a gadget... if he has the money or materials to do so, of course. The maximum final complexity of a project, calculated as the sum of the complexity values of the individual options, depends on the proficiency bonus, while the maximum number of gadgets a tinker can have is equal to his Intelligence modifier.

As a tinker advances in level, he can build increasingly complex gadgets by choosing their functions from a gradually increasing range of possibilities.

While a gadget can offer very interesting benefits to a tinker, he will have to make a Testing Roll the first time he uses it after a short or long rest, risking that the gadget will break down and require repairs. Unless it is a reliable device, a rare commodity among inventors. In addition, certain functions can be used a certain number of times, after which they must be recharged.

Dismantling almost anything and recovering the materials allows a tinker to save gold pieces. And when he is capable enough, he can even carefully disassemble magical items to incorporate them into his gadgets!

[ Gadget example: Bladebow Guardian ]

Complexity 4, requires a 1st level tinker

• Tinker's weapon (melee and ranged, complexity +2)

• Luminescence (complexity +1)

• Light folding armor (complexity +1)

This wearable device fits inside a backpack and in a vambrace. With a bonus action, you can turn on and off the studded leather armor plating function, its torch-like light, and/or the weapon contained in the vambrace, which can be used either as a shortsword or a shortbow.

[ Technology lists ]

Initially, a tinker can incorporate only the 8 options from the Basic Gadgets list into his gadgets, choosing which ones he prefers. As early as 2nd level and at regular intervals in subsequent levels, he can unlock additional 8-option lists. In addition, his choice of archetype and finds made during his adventures can teach him new features with which to equip his inventions.
