Quick Gadgets

3rd-level Gadgeteer feature

When you choose this specialty at 3rd level, you gain the ability to create magical traps fueled by special dice called gadget dice. Using tinker's tools, you can take a bonus action to create a tiny gadget in an unoccupied space within 30 feet of you.

These gadgets are magical objects. They have an AC of 15 and 5 hit points, and are immune to poison damage and psychic damage. If they are forced to make an ability check or a saving throw, they fail automatically. The gadgets disappear if they are reduced to 0 hit points or after 1 minute. You can dismiss any of the gadgets early as a free action on your turn. You can only have one gadget of each type active at a given time.

In order for another creature to see the gadget, they must succeed on a Wisdom (Perception) check against your Spell Save DC.

You gain another gadget die at 9th level and they upgrade to a d8. You gain an additional die at 15th level and they upgrade to a d10.
