Constructor

The Constructor class has a unique system set up in a series of rolls involving spell slots. One of the most unique systems of the Constructor is that Constructs it builds do not naturally disappear over a set period. Constructs made by you that is within 60 feet of you also acts as your arcane focus. That is because unlike summoning and conjuration spells, Constructs are made to function and live on their own. The caster of a Construct has full control over them and can set them to have their own special parameters for specified behaviors. 

Level 3: Create Construct

You learn the ways of creating a Construct and what it truly requires. You must use your Tinker's tools and have a certain amount of materials required to do create them. Any Constructs you create utilizes your spell attack modifier for attack and damage rolls; their attacks count as Magical. Constructs made by the player are immune to psychic damage and being charmed, exhaustion, Frightened, Paralyzed, Petrified and Poisoned. Good hunting! You can have a total number of living constructs equal to half your intelligence modifier rounded down.

In combat, the Construct shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. It can move and use its reaction, action and bonus action on its own, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. If you are incapacitated the Construct will try to relocate you and protect you from danger.

If the mending cantrip is cast on it, it regains 2d6 hit points. If it has died within the last hour, you can use your Tinker's tools as an action to revive it, provided you are within 5 feet of it and you expend a spell slot of 1st level or higher. Once it is revived, it fully heals.

 

Tiny Construct = Components worth 100gp. Caster spends 2-days doing a ritual. Make an Arcana check with a DC of 12. Expend level-one spell slot.

 Small Construct = Components worth 250gp. Caster spends 3-days doing a ritual. Make an Arcana check with a DC of 14. Expend level-two spell slot.

Frame Sets -

When creating your Construct, you can decide to specialize them in specific areas of combat. These Frame sets determines your future potential modifications.

Light Frame (Small or Medium Construct)  - Speedy and stealthy Construct

Medium Frame (Medium or Large Construct) - Aggressive melee Construct

Heavy Frame (Medium, Large or Huge Construct) - Defensive Construct

Utility Frame (Tiny Construct) - Construct utilizing magic in varying degrees

A Light Frame Construct uses the Nimble Automaton stat block. A Medium Frame Construct uses the Aggressor Automaton stat block (Large Version). A Heavy Frame Construct uses the Guardian Automaton stat block (Large Version) (Huge Version). A Utility Frame uses the Utility Automaton stat block. Constructs made by the player take the appearance of the player's choice. A player can choose to permanently deactivate a made Construct; reactivation of the Construct can only be conducted by doing the appropriate ritual steps of creating a Construct.

Level 6: Advancing Constructs

You learn how to make Constructs of Medium size

 

Medium Sized Construct - Components worth 750gp. A ritual of 4-days. 16 DC Arcana Check. Expend one 3rd level spell slot.

Augment Construct -

 This is a unique spell you can use on your turn as an action. You choose a Construct of your creation within 30ft of you. You decide the buff between either +2 to all attack and damage rolls, advantage on saving rolls or heal the Construct for 5d6 HP. The buffs last until the end of the Construct's second turn. You can use this spell a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus.

You also gain the ability to cast Mending as an action rather than 1 minute.

Long-term Modifications - 

You would have to spend one long-rest modifying the Construct and roll a Intelligence saving throw, while having tinker’s tools and materials worth 100gp. The saving throw DC is determined on the Constructs size, Tiny starting at a 12 DC, increasing by one for each size. Failing this saving throw causes 1d10 psychic damage and wastes half the day. After successfully passing the saving throw, you make an Arcana roll determining the modification result. A 5th level magician can have only a number of modifications equal to half their intelligence modifier rounded down on each living construct. A 10th level magician can have a number of modifications equal to their intelligence modifier on each living construct. If you roll to make a modifier while you already have one, you may choose to select one modifier to remove. If a Construct dies and is revived, the Construct loses all the modifications. The current table you roll for is determined by the Construct's frame.
