Gadgeteer

Gadgeteers use different custom-built oddities to provide new, fun, and exciting options in DND. Gadgeteers use special arrows and hidden weapons to give them an edge at lower levels. While at higher levels you can see them using smoke bombs and specially modified bows and daggers. This subclass is meant to differ from the Rouge's regular strategies or at least give them some new flare for them. This class is also meant to provide an option for a more creative approach from the set abilities of each class to give the player some creative freedom with what makes their character unique.

Basic Tinkerer

Starting at the 3rd level you gain proficiency in Tinker's Tools and can create Basic Contraptions.

Basic Contraptions - Spending 30 minutes and 1gp of materials you can create a Basic Contraption. A basic contraption can be anything you want as long as it is within the realm of possibility and is not too complex for your level. A reference for what you can make at this level includes traps and simple devices. For example, A pitfall trap over a small hole or a spiked pit, A tripwire that causes a net to fall over the person who triggered it. A simple device can be a short-timer, a grappling hook, or an alarm.

The DC for any of your Basic Contraptions is equal to 10 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier. This DC is used with any feature that requires one from this subclass.
