Dungeoneer

You have been begun the first steps through a path of ruin raiding, and dungeon delving. You crave the excitement of discovering the lost and forgotten. Your mind and memory are sharper than any blade. Equipped with a unique magical tool and training passed down from the age of the 'First Generation' you charge bravely into the darkest depths that others fear to go for the sake of knowledge and glory. Archaeologists, explorers, and academics of all sorts tend to seek this path and do so vigorously.

Encyclopedic Knowledge

You have been trained in a secret magical technique that allows storing vast amounts of knowledge deep in the recesses of your mind, everything from History to the Mystic Arts, and now have the capacity to unlock some of that knowledge. When you reach 3rd level you gain proficiency in History and the bonus is doubled when rolling History checks. If you already have this bonus from another source then you may choose either Arcana, Nature, or Religion to receive this bonus. You gain proficiency in your choice of either Arcana, Nature, or Religion and you learn an additional language of your choice.

The Utility Pole

Starting at 3rd level you now have a magical ten-foot pole that weighs ten pounds and can only be operated by you or another dungeoneer if they attune to it. The pole can not be disarmed if you are holding it. The pole can be condensed into a smaller two-foot pole for easy transport or segmented into five two-foot poles for the express purpose of integrating your Designs into the pole.

Designs are intricate schematics for various gadgets to aid you and other creature that you choose in and out of combat. To integrate a design you must take a two-foot segment of the pole and spend 10 minutes shaping the Magic in the pole to have it transmute its matter and shape into the gadget. When a segment has a design integrated into it that segment now has two forms, the default pole form that, to all that are unaware, just appears to be a regular metal pole and the gadget form where when you use your Bonus Action to activate the segment it will magically transmute itself into the gadget that your design designated.

Starting at 3rd level you may learn three designs of your choice and you will learn one more when you reach levels 6th, 9th, 13th, and 17th level. Additionally when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one design you know and replace it with another the you could learn at that level.

Boosting segments

 Certain designs have a property called Boosted. This property means that by combing a segment not in use with one that is in gadget form you will increase the added benefit from the gadget stated in its boosted section.

Using the Utility Pole without the Dungeoneer 

In the setting of my home campaigns in my world known as Treminar only Dungeoneers are capable of using a Utility pole. This is because the pole is tied to some important lore in that world, I also acknowledge that all of you know nothing of my homebrewed world and for that if you like the Utility pole as a magic item then you can easily give it to your players and you the DM can decide from the attachments of the poles segments do, or even give them one segment of a pole with one design. Use the restrictions on the designs to guide you on what designs are best for your players at their level.

- Assimilated Tools

Prerequisite: requires Tinker's tools or Thieves Tools

This design infuses a tool of you choice from above into the segment to allow you to operate with said tools from a farther and presumed safe position. you can extend you reach with these tools by 2-feet for every segment combined.

- Blowgun

Prerequisite: 5th level and requires an alchemist's supplies or a poisoner's kit

By incorporating a alchemist's supplies or a Poisoner's kit into the segment during integration you develop a blowgun with SIX magical syringes. When you successfully attack a target creature with this design the syringes will inject one of two powerful solutions into the creature, alternatively you can fill the syringes with additional liquids that you have on hand. When injected with one of the solutions the target creature must make a Constitution save based on the size of the creature if the creature succeeds the save by five or more then the creature is immune to all solutions for 24-hours, additionally if the creature is subjected to multiple injections from the syringes then increase the DC of the Constitution save by two for every injection after the first. The attack has disadvantage if the target creature is of tiny size. If the creature is unaware of your presence or surprised then they will have disadvantage on the constitution save. The syringes disintegrate after impact or injection, and you will regain all used syringes, refilled, after a short rest.

Sleep Solution: If a target creature fails the Constitution save when injected with this solution they immediately fall into a deep magical sleep. Undead and creatures immune to being charmed aren't affected by this solution. When you reach 9th level the solution ignores this immunity from living creatures.

Tracking Solution: If a target creature fails the Constitution save you now have a precise knowledge of the location of the creature, so long as they are on the same plane as you, for the next 3 hours. At 9th level if the target were to leave the plane you are on then you are immediately alerted to it and know the destination plane the target fled to.

- Integrated Blade

This easy design causes the segment to develop a finely sharpened edge creating a makeshift weapon that you are proficient in. The weapon has the light and finesse properties and deals 1d6 slashing damage.

You can do this as many reactions as you can so long as there are still hit-points left in the shield.
