Gadgeteer's Arsenal

3rd-level Wild Artificer feature

You've cobbled together an arsenal of unstable gadgets to aid in your chaotic escapades. At 3rd level, you gain proficiency with tinker's tools if you don’t already have it, and you can use them to craft or modify the following gadgets during a long rest. You can have three gadgets of your choice at any given time and this number increases when you hit certain levels(level 9 = 4 gadgets, level 13 = 6 gadgets, level 17 = 8 gadgets). You get access to additional gadgets when you get to level 13 and level 17. You must prepare your gadgets at the end of every long rest up to the number of gadgets you are allowed to have.

When you use a gadget, it’s treated as a ranged weapon attack, using your Dexterity modifier for attack rolls and damage calculations. Some gadgets require saving throws, using the following formula to determine the DC:

Gadget Save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Dexterity modifier.

Gadgets:

• Zap Grenade: A thrown device that explodes with electricity in a 10-foot radius. Each creature in the area must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take 2d6 lightning damage and be unable to take reactions until the start of your next turn.
• Chomper Bomb: A small, snapping explosive. Target one creature within 30 feet. On a hit, it deals 3d6 fire damage, and the target must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.
• Smoke Capsule: Deploy a 10-foot-radius cloud of thick smoke that heavily obscures the area for 1 minute or until a strong wind disperses it. You can see through this smoke as if it weren't obscured.

• Sonic Disruptor: Emit a high-pitched sonic wave in a 15-foot cone. Each creature in the area must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or take 2d6 thunder damage and become deafened for 1 minute. A deafened creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of its turns, ending the effect on a success.

Level 13 Gadgets:

• Temporal Distorter: Deploy a device that creates a 20-foot-radius field of distorted time for 1 minute. Creatures of your choice within the area must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or have their speed halved and lose their reactions until the start of their next turn. Allies in the area can move an additional 10 feet on their turns and have advantage on Dexterity saving throws.
• Arcane Shield Drone: Summon a small hovering drone that follows you or an ally within 30 feet for 1 minute. The drone provides an arcane shield that grants +2 AC to the creature it's protecting and absorbs up to 20 damage from any one source before being destroyed.

Creatures in the center of the sphere take 4d6 force damage.
• Neuro Hypnosis Beacon: Plant a beacon that emits a hypnotic signal in a 20-foot radius for 1 minute.
