Mechanists

Machinists are one of the rarest Breeds of artificers, Due to the complexity of their works and the fickleness of it all many choose safer paths to go on. Machinists prefer to be trailblazers, taking more risks with their work in hopes of higher payoffs. They go by many names. Arcano-enginners, Forgewright, Techno-mancers, or even Aether-knights.
Machinists are mainly engineers or artificers who use their Technical skills to make machinations to assist the military, Law enforcement, or even Civilians. Each machine is
tailor-made by its creator. It can range from a large hulking armored machine that assists soldiers in a fight to a machine that helps law enforcement or Civil services save civilians from disasters or threats or even a large machine that assists in the construction of a New Home for citizens by using its superior strength.

It shares your initiative but it takes its turn immediately after yours. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. If you are incapacitated, the defender can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge.
