Engineer (5A)

Starfox's 5th Edition Fan Page

This is a Fencer subclass for 5A.

An engineer has a technological education, focused on building fortifications and fieldworks. This in contrast to the Sapper, a similar Rogue subclassed focused on destroying such things.

Siege Weapons

When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with all crossbows, all firearms, and all siege engines.

Engineering

At 3rd level you gain proficiency with carpenter's tools, cartographer’s tools, and mason's tools.

You are a master of constructions, which is any Large or larger object not carried by a creature. You and all allies within 30 feet of you works three times as fast when building or repairing constructions. You can spend an action to stabilize constructions within 30 feet of you, giving those construction resistance to all damage until the end of your next turn.

Punch Code

At 7th level, when you inflict damage on a creature of the construct type, the construct must make an Intelligence saving throw (DC 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your proficiency bonus) or come under your control. Until the start of your next turn the construct becomes friendly to you and your companions, and obeys your commands. It will ignore its earlier instructions and instead take instructions from you. The construct keeps its own initiative count and can take an action in its stat block or some other action.

Architectural Secrets

At 11th level you are immediately aware of any trap, secret door, compartment, trap door, or other unusual construction within 20 feet. If you cannot see the location, you only get a vague sense of direction of each device. You can use an action to detect such devices at a range of 10 feet times your Proficiency Bonus.

Fieldworks

At 15th level you can spend an action to create field works in your space and within 5 feet of you. This counts as difficult ground to your enemies. Allies in this area gain half cover (+2 to AC and Dexterity saving throws). This stacks with the bonus of any other cover allies may have. The fieldworks last until the end of your next long rest. A 15 foot square of fieldworks can be destroyed by the Use an Object action or by attacks. It has an AC of 15, 10 hit points, and immunity to to poison and psychic damage.
