Class: The Vigilante

Watching from the window, the half orc loads his musket. He waits for his target to get into a clear line of sight, holds his breath for a moment, then fires. Not even a second after that the window breaks, and the half orc runs and jumps out with a blunderbuss, rolling on the landing, then blasts the bodyguards. Dropping the weapon, he picks up the scrolls on the target. He follows the trail till he reaches the person responsible for it all.

---

As the genasi wizard lines up his magical spells, a group of goblins rush towards him. Arrows fly in their direction, one of them growing a huge amount of vicius gel that immobilizes two goblins. Running in between them, an Elf stands with his fists raised, and a bow on his back. The Goblins pile on and lay several strikes on him, he counters and drops a few of them, before they leave him wounded and kneeling on the ground. The wizard fumbles for a moment, trying to keep his concentration as an arrow flies into him. Just before the goblins can finish the wizard, the Elf gets back up, kicks a goblin away and smashes the head of the last one.

The human stands within the diplomatic meeting, undercover. He watches as a group of dwarfs start to approach, weapons draw. In a flash, smoke rises and completely fills the area. As it draws away, both of the diplomatic leaders are missing. The dwarves look around confused, as two flying projectiles hit one of them, shocking him and bringing him to the ground. As the dwarves look at their fallen comrade, another round projectile rolls in front of them and blows up, blinding them. A lone dwarf finds himself coming back to vision, to see his ally on the floor. He tries to run away, but as he does, a flying piece of string and lead fly and wrap around his ankles bringing him to the ground. The human looks down from his vantage point with triumph.

Vigilantes use their expert intelligence and hardened training to fight battles they are destined to lose. Through sheer will power or powerful gadgets, the Vigilante can use their enemies and abilities to their advantage. Turning the tides into their favour with their gadgets and finishing them of with their weapon training, the vigilante thrives in a magic world using technology to their aid.

---

Gadget Mastery

A good vigilante knows when they can throw it down, if necessary. A great vigilante plans out the situation, or has prepared some sort of device that will help them in battle. Even with their superior strength and battle styles, a vigilante knows his tools are the reason for his success. Each vigilante specializes in some form of gadgetry, be it a variety of different tools, specialized arrows to help with enemies, or firearms to deal the most righteous form of justice.

Misguided Intentions

Due to their reliance on gadgets and their weapons, vigilantes end up on the wrong side of the law most of the time. However, they are happier on that side, and know that working in the dark is something that the law cannot do sometimes, and somebody has to do the dirty work. A vigilante always seek justice, but their means of justice may not be the most lawful ways of obtaining it.

Building a Vigilante

The most defining trait of a vigilante is how they dish out their justice, and their reasons for doing so, seemingly above the law. What type of fighting style do you employ when you are fighting evil? What sort of origin story motivated you to fight the good fight? How have you gained your martial abilities as well as your intellect?

---

Consider Also the driving forces that keep you on the side of the good. A vigilante is known for teetering the edge of the law, and even more so balancing good and evil. What forces or motivations keep your Vigilante to their code? What was your interaction that gave you the technology that you use now? Did you have a partner, mentor, or sidekick that was a part of your team, but that is no longer present? If so, what happened to them?

The world of magic and technology require constant adaptation. This adaption has lead to eletric enhancements to your gauntlets or melee weapons. Using a gadget point, you can make a weapon electrically charged, allowing it to do an additional 1d6 lightning damage. This effect lasts for 1 hour.

Clockwork Drone

It pays to always be prepared. Using a tiny sized mechanical flying beetle/animal from Mechanus and a pair of matching viewing goggles, you can scout out the battle field or enemy territory and get a lay of the land. The drone has 1 hit point, 18 AC, Vision of 30ft, a flying speed of 30ft and a working range of 150ft within the goggles. Using an action, you can put on the goggles and control the drone, viewing the world from it's eyes. When looking through the goggles, perception checks are made with your wisdom (perception) skill.

The drone can be summoned and dismissed freely, and can also be modified by using gadget points. If the drone is destroyed, it loses all it's modifications and you must use tinker's tools in a short rest to repair it.

To make modifications, you must have 1 minute of uninterrupted work, and use 1 gadget point. When you get the clockwork drone at 2nd level, you can add 1 modification to the drone. At 7th level, you can begin to add two modifications.

Eagle Eyes: Increases the vision of the drone to 60ft.

Clockwork Earpiece

In a world full of so many different humanoids and creatures, it is difficult to be able to converse and integrate with all of them: unless you are a vigilante. Upon taking this tiny gadget that fits in your ear, you can tap the gadget, expending 1 gadget point, in order to cast comprehend languages.

In addition, you can use 1 gadget point in order to record any audible conversation within 20ft of you. The recording can last a maximum of 5 minutes, and can be played back repeatedly after the recording is finished.

Cypher Decoder

Just as the world is difficult to understand verbally, there are several non-verbal ways in which vigilantes find out their information. Using a gadget point, you can activate the Cypher decoder, which when hovered over a text that is not understood to you, lowers the DC required to understand the information.

If that is not possible from the text, up to the DMs descretion, the cypher decoder instead provides a hint as to the origins, or source, of the text.

Tracer Stone

Fashioned as a very small smooth pebble with runic carvings on it, it has a matching pebble that goes along with it, much like sending stones. However, when the tracer stone is placed on a place or object, the tracker stone will rotate it's teardrop body to point towards the tracer stone. The closer the target is, the faster the tracer stone will spin vertically.

You can increase the amount of tracer stones that you have by using 1 gadget point per extra tracer stone. Each other tracer stone has a different runic carving which attunes to whatever command name you give it when you ask for the tracker stone to find the tracer for the first time. To track a different stone, simply say the command name of the other tracer target.

Gadget Goggles

In a world where you might not be the most magically adept, you have keener eyes than most would assume, thanks to your Gadget Goggles. Using these goggles, you can use 1 gadget point to

-Scan and see through up to 3 layers of 1 inch thick layers,

-See through darkness, magical or nonmagical, up to 60ft.

The goggles can only have one modification at a time, and to change the modification requires 1 minute of uninterrupted work and 1 gadget point.

Jetpack

The use of arcane technology to gain flight is something that is uncommon to most. However, some vigilantes just need to get there as quick as possible with as little effort as possible, so you have harnessed the ability to ride a mechanical backpack that propels you into the air. However, it lacks the ability to keep you in the air, and hence small and quick bursts are generally used.

Using 1 gadget point and a bonus action, you can use the jetpacks propulsion to assist a jump of 30ft. This jump can be vertically or horizontally.

Furthermore, you can use 1 gadget point as a reaction in order to slow your descent to the ground to 60 feet per round for 1 minute.

Additionally, you can use 1 gadget point as a bonus action to boost yourself on the ground, travelling 20ft forward (does not count towards movement used), and strike an enemy for extra damage equal to your vigilante level.

Eldritch Boomerang

By using eldritch energy for enhancement and technology to stablize a boomerang, you can now send a hurling force of nature towards opponents. Activating the boomerang requires 1 gadget point. When you throw the boomerang for a ranged attack, if it has atleast 10ft of space to travel, it speeds up to incredible speeds and becomes eldritch energy until it hit's its target. The energy deals 1d6 force damage, and the boomerang deals 1d4+DEX modifier piercing damage.

If the attack misses, the energy travels back towards you and turns into a boomerang 10ft before reaching you.

Grappling Gun

Scaling the walls quietly and quickly has never been easier with a grappling gun. Used primarily to launch yourself in a specific direction, you can make a ranged attack with the grappling gun (you have proficiency in using it) at a range of 75/150ft. If the surface you hit is connected to something that is heavier than you, you can use your bonus action and 1 gadget point to bring yourself towards the grapple point.

If you hit an enemy with the grapple, the enemy is pulled towards you by 5ft. For every 1 extra gadget point used, the enemy is pulled by an additional 5ft.

Essential Camouflage

Intrigue and mystery run in your veins. In order to get closer to the truth, a vigilante must sometimes pose as someone other than himself. You have unlocked a disguise kit in which you can pose as anyone that you have previously seen before. The more information you have, the higher quality the disguise will be. (Determined by the DM)

Using 1 gadget point, you can disguise yourself as an individual. This disguise lasts for 24 hours. In order to identify you, they must succeed an intelligence (investigation) check. For every additional gadget point used, the DC for the investigation check is increased by 3.

As an action, using 1 gadget point, you can drop a smoke bomb at your feet or make a ranged attack to throw it at an area.

Rebreather

Even if you spend your entire life on land, there's no escaping the water of the world. With this fact known, you carry around a rebreather, a small cylindrical device that can be used to breath through water as if normally. The rebreather has a default duration of 10 minutes of breathing, but for every gadget point used, another 10 minutes of breathing is added.

Cryo Grenade

What is the best way to preserve information? recording it. What is the best way to preserve life? freezing it. Using 2 gadget point, you can make a ranged attack (20/60ft) and throw the cryogenic grenade. Upon impact, the grenade will explode and freeze up a 5ft cubic area. Any creature hit by the grenade will freeze and must make a constitution saving throw. On a failed saving throw, the target takes 3d8 cold damage, or half as much on a successful save.
