Master Engineer

When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you learn schematics that can enhance your attacks or create effects on the battlefield.

Schematics. You learn five schematics of your choice, which are detailed under “Schematics” below. Many maneuvers enhance an attack in some way. You can use only one schematic per attack.

You learn two additional schematics of your choice at 7th, 10th, and 15th level. Each time you learn new schematics, or when you level, you can also replace one maneuver you know with a different one..

Schematic Builds. You have five schematic builds. A schematic build is expended when you use it. You regain all of your expended schematic builds when you finish a short or long rest.

You gain two additional schematic build at 7th level and two more at 15th level.

Saving Throws. Some of your maneuvers require your target to make a saving throw to resist the schematic’s effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:

Maneuver save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your INT modifier
