Mad Scientist

A mad scientist is an entity with unshakable certainty in its own conclusions, a lack of empathy towards other, no basic morality and a sense of intellectual superiority to set it on a path to do whatever is necessary to complete its goals. Anyone who stands in its way becomes a challenge or impedance to overcome, swiftly and viciously if necessary. As a mad scientist you push the boundaries of your experiments and even more so your body and mind. In the endless torture you endure at your own hands in this pursuit, you lose your sanity, morality and empathy, falling to the voices compelling you to complete what has been started no matter the cost or eventual effect.

Tool Proficiency

You gain proficiency with Alchemist's Supplies. If you already have this proficiency, you gain proficiency with one other type of artisan’s tools of your choice.

Mad Scientist Spells

3rd-level Mad Scientist feature

You always have certain spells prepared after you reach particular levels in this class, as shown in the Mad Scientist Spell table. These spells count as artificer spells for you, but they don’t count against the number of artificer spells you prepare.

Mad Scientist Spells

Reckless Augmentation

3rd-level Mad Scientist feature

Whenever you finish a long rest, you can augment your body to your benefit or detriment depending on the augmentation table. Roll on the Augmentation table to determine the augments effect, which will be triggered immediately after your long rest. Once the augment takes effect it will not reset until the next long rest.

You can create additional augmentations up to your proficiency bonus by expending first level or higher spell slots for each one. When you do so, you use your action to create the augmentation and you roll on the augmentation table to determine the augment. To augment anyone other than yourself, the creature or entity, must be willing or incapacitated.

Creating an augmentation requires you to have a set of Alchemist's Supplies on your person, and any augment you create with this feature lasts until the end of your next long rest.

When you reach certain levels in this class, you can make more initial augmentations at the end of a long rest: two at 7th level and three at 15th level. Roll for each augments effect separately.
