Contraptionist

Someone who uses tools, traps, and devices to aide them in battle and other areas.

Basic Utility Belt

The mainstay of every Contraptionist is their utility belt. They are able to get to their tools easily as well as some of their small weaponized inventions. A contraptionist gets one contraption per contraptions level. At third level they would have 3 of TOTAL contraptions and at fourth level they would have 4 contraptions and so on and so forth. They design a new contraption at levels 3,3,7,9,11,15. So at 3rd level they can have 2 of one type and one of another. 

A Basic Contraption costs 1 GP each. Traps need to be disarmed to recover. If a trap has been expended they can still be recovered but the Contraptionist must make a Tinkering check = 10+ Level of the contraptionist when they made it.

You have spent countless hours trying to figure out a contraption that will follow commands and listen. YOU HAVE DONE IT.

All creatures can fly and do not use their wings to fly and must be powered by casting a spell into the power gem. This will give flight equal to 1 minute * spell level casted.
