The two minds also have their own classes and levels and are treated as two completely separate characters except where noted. The classes level up together. Hit Dice. When rolling hit dice, use the larger of the two dice. Switching Minds.

Backgrounds Engineer By Chris The pursuit of science is your only mistress. You ply your trade to invent and build useful creations. Many an engineer gets his start and training from military service, as any military worth its salt will invest in technology as a means to gain an advantage. You may have learned your trade from a mentor, or even taught yourself. When you choose this background, work with your Dungeon Master to determine the specifics of your engineering background, origin and prior inventions. Use of this background may be setting specific. The presented incarnation is geared towards a steampunk setting. Skill Proficiencies: Engineering, Investigation Tool Proficiencies: One type of vehicle (land, air or sea), one type of artisan’s tools Equipment: Calipers, compass, a notebook filled with your notes, a set of fine clothes, and a belt pouch with 10 gp.

Feature: Networking As a professional engineer, you have built a network of colleagues who cooperate (at least somewhat) on projects. When you need assistance, you may utilize this network. Your colleagues aren’t likely to drop everything to come to your aid as they have projects of their own, so don’t expect an immediate response. It’s also important to remember rule one of networking: your colleagues aren’t only a means to an end. A working relationship is a twoway street and a favor goes a long way to getting someone to help you. Depending on the favor you ask for, your colleague may want a specialized piece of information that only you possess.

In addition to this informal network, your colleagues meet infrequently to collaborate and share recent discoveries at conferences. In addition to fellow scientists and engineers, other prominent members of society frequent these events. This makes them a perfect place to gather new allies or colleagues.

Suggested Characteristics Engineers tend to be logical and methodical when it comes to problem solving. The nature of their work often leads to competition and many are very secretive about their inventions. Engineers who don’t have any qualms about questionable activities will try to steal their colleague’s work. D8 Personality Trait My projects are never finished until every part 1 is absolutely perfect. 2 I like to talk at length about my profession. I take apart mostly anything that isn’t bolted 3 down, and then hide the pieces that I can’t put back in place. I am easily excited, whether because of a 4 discovery or simply good news. I protect my work with my life and will give it 5 up only as a last resort. I’ve spent so much time hidden in books and 6 my lab that I am horribly awkward in social situations. I often build up the difficulty of a problem so I 7 will get more praise when I solve it. I’m well known for my work, and I want to make sure everyone appreciates it. I’m always 8 taken aback when people haven’t heard of me. D6 Ideal Cooperation. Knowledge should be shared for 1 the betterment of all. (Good) Determination. Nothing should impede the 2 growth of knowledge, least of all mortal laws. (Chaotic) Entitlement. I should take credit for other’s 3 ideas. After all, I would have thought of them eventually. (Evil) Logical. Emotions must not cloud our sense of 4 what is right and true, or our logical thinking. (Lawful) Obligation. It is my duty to ensure that my 5 inventions are never used for evil porpoises. (Good) Aspiration. I seek to win the approval of my 6 mentor and compare my accomplishments to theirs. (Any)

D6 D6 Bond My laboratory is the only place I truly feel safe 1 and I would do anything to preserve it. My life’s work is a series of papers written 2 about a specific topic. I discovered something dangerous that should 3 never fall into the wrong hands. I owe my career to a wealthy patron who 4 funded my work. I will do anything to prove myself superior to 5 my hated rival. My greatest accomplishment was stolen from 6 me and I will get revenge.

Flaw I often forget that some people don’t have my intellect and schooling, so I sometimes speak in terms too complicated for them to understand. I am all but obsessed with my work and let it get in the way of even my closest relationships. I overlook obvious solutions in favor of more complicated ones. I’m only concerned with making more money. I’d sell my sister if I could. I am wary of anyone whose intelligence rivals my own. Everywhere I go, I’m surrounded by rivals. I am easily distracted by the promise of information.

AUGMENTATIONS Name Cutlass Integrated Suppressed Scoped Folding High Tolerance

Extra Cost 15 gp 100% 1000 gp 500 gp 100% 50%

Weapon Properties Steampunk weapons have special properties related to their use. Action Reload. You must use the indicated number of actions in order to ready the weapon to be fired. Arc. Rather than targeting a single creature with an arc weapon, you can target two adjacent creatures. Use a single attack roll targeting each creature’s armor class. Roll damage once and deal half damage to each creature. Fully Automatic. Use an attack to target a 5-foot square within range. Affected creatures must make a Dexterity saving throw. The DC is 8 + your attack bonus with the weapon. If a creature fails, it takes damage from the weapon and if it succeeds it takes half. Extra attacks made with a fully automatic weapon must target an adjacent 5foot square. Firing in this manner expends 5 bullets for every attack made. Fuse. This weapon detonates at the start of your next turn if the fuse value is 1. An additional turn must pass for every fuse point. A user can cut a fuse short and ignore the property but there is a 30% chance the weapon detonates as it is being thrown. Overheat. Heat becomes a problem with this weapon’s use. The overheat value indicates how many continuous attacks can be made before the weapon must cool for 1 minute and not be operated. Using the weapon while it is overheated has a 50% chance of destroying the weapon. Precise. Roll damage dice an additional time for every extra attack forgone as part of the weapon’s loading property when you use your action to attack with the weapon. These extra dice are considered part of the damage dice for critical damage. Shrapnel. Part of this weapon’s damage is from high speed metal fragments. Creatures that succeed on their saving throw and have at least half cover have resistance to the weapon’s damage and only take bludgeoning damage. Splash. These weapons affect all creatures within the indicated splash range. Each creature must make a Dexterity saving throw equal to 8 + your attack bonus or take the damage of the weapon. Creatures who succeed take half damage. Creatures benefit from cover between themselves and the detonation point. Stationary. This weapon is not intended to move. When not properly mounted, attacks are made with disadvantage

and saving throws against this weapon are at advantage due to its unwieldy nature.

Weapon Augmentations Weapon augmentations are additional properties a weapon can have if the conditions are met. Augmentations are nonmagical in nature. Cutlass. A cutlass weapon is a ranged firearm and can also be used as a dagger if it has the light property or short sword if it does not have the light property. The weapon added as part of cutlass inherits the two-handed property if the firearm it is attached to has the two-handed property. Integrated. Integrated weapons are more accurately two weapons. The cost of an integrated weapon is twice the cost of the sum of both weapons used. Only one weapon of an integrated weapon is available at a time. A wielder can use their interaction to change which weapon is available. A light and a heavy weapon cannot be integrated together. Suppressed. Any firearm can be suppressed. Suppressed firearms are difficult to hear but not silent. They make noise comparable to the sound of a heavy crossbow. Scoped. A firearm that is scoped does not impose disadvantage on attack rolls when firing at long range, so long as you’ve used your action on your previous turn to line up your shot. Folding. Folding weapons can be reduced in size by half. It is useless in its reduced size but may be easier to conceal. The weapon’s state can be altered with an interaction and can be unfolded as part of your drawing interaction. High Tolerance. A firearm or crossbow with this augmentation is designed to function in even the poorest of conditions. The weapon always functions underwater and easily endures other extreme circumstances.
