Jerry Rigger

At 3rd level, you learn the ins and outs of just about all vehicles. When using tinker’s or smith’s tools on a vehicle, for example to make a repair or change, you have advantage on all checks made to do so. This also extends to any weaponry attached to the vehicle. 

You also can use these to create Vehicles from scratch if you’re provided the materials and time. When you do so, you can create them in a third of the time others would take, and pay half the price on material components for the vehicle’s construction.

Experimental Augmentation

When you reach 5th Level, you learn how to further augment the vehicles you work with to maximize their potential.

You choose two of the following Augmentations. You can then spend at least 6 hours, which can be completed with a long rest, to apply this augmentation to a single vehicle you spend time working on for the duration of its Application. Replacing an augmentation on the same vehicle with another augmentation can be done in the same time as applying one, but any more than one vehicle cannot.

You also learn an additional augmentation at 9th and 15th levels.

Rigged to Blow

Starting at 15th level, You come to realize that sometimes Vehicles can be used for more than just locomotion or defending. You gain the ability to detonate any vehicle with which you have implemented an Augmentation. This destroys said vehicle after any movement it makes on its turn or upon contact with something after you’ve set its detonation as a Reaction. 

All creatures within 50 feet of the vehicle make a Dexterity Saving Throw against your Spell Save DC, however creatures beyond 30 feet in the radius get advantage. On a failed save, they take 5d12 Fire Damage, and an additional 2d12 Fire Damage for every augmentation on that vehicle at a time, including the one required for detonation, on a successful save they take half of the total damage.

If any salvageable parts survive and are collected afterward, you’re able to use these as half of the required material components to build a brand new version of the vehicle you detonated.
