Vehicle Master

An artificer who specializes as a Vehicle Master, has perfected the constructed mount. The Vehicle can be an ace in their sleeve, which can get them out of danger, or a shelter for them and their companions. Either way, the Vehicle they drive is expertly made to both protect their party and get across the battlefield swiftly.

Mechanized Vehicle

3rd-level Vehicle Master feature

Your tinkering has created an interesting new contraption, a Mechanized Vehicle. Your Vehicle is designed for land based travel, and can be used in and out of combat for useful results. If used in combat, your vehicle is treated as if it were a mount, sharing your initiative and being able to act on your turn. However, it cannot take actions on it's own. You may use one of it's actions as a bonus action, if you are driving it.

You must choose one of two vehicle types, a Bike or a Van. Each has their own strengths and weaknesses, and this decision cannot be reversed or changed. Their properties are listed below.

Bike

The bike is fast, and slim. It's not very durable, but nothing beats it if you want to get somewhere quickly and efficiently. The bike can fit you and one passenger.

 

Van

The van is large, and durable. It's bulky and not very fast, but it can take a beating and keep going strong. The van is a large construct, and can fit 4 medium sized creatures comfortably, including the driver.

 

Security List

5th-level Vehicle Master feature

You gain a Security List, this list can be a notebook or a piece of paper, as long as you're easily able to write on it. You also gain a security measure, unique to your vehicle choice. You can freely write any name in your Security List, which whitelists them from your security measure. You can write and erase names as an action, on any of your given turns.

Bike.
Any creatures that are not listed in your Security List, that attempt to ride your Bike, must make a Wisdom Saving Throw, contested by your Spell Save DC. If they fail, then they are subjected to the Hold Person spell. Even if they succeed the saving throw, an Alarm is rung that can be heard from 120 feet away, and it is heard mildly an additional mile to people with a Passive Perception above 16.

Van.
Any creatures that are not listed in your Security List, that attempt to enter your Van, must make a Dexterity Saving Throw, contested by your Spell Save DC. If they fail, then they take 3d6 Piercing Damage and an Image of them appears vividly in your mind.
