Built-In Tools Feat 1

You've built tools into your innovation so you can access and use them easily. When you take this feat, choose up to two sets of tools you own, such as thieves' tools or healer's tools, that weigh a total of 2 Bulk or less. These tools become part of your innovation. The innovation's Bulk doesn't increase from this addition.

Traits

Explosive Leap Feat 1

You aim an explosion from your innovation downward to launch yourself into the air. You jump up to 30 feet in any direction without touching the ground. You must land on a space of solid ground, or else you fall after using your next action.

Special If your innovation is a minion, it can take this action rather than you.

Traits

Haphazard Repair Feat 1

Critical Success Your tampering is incredibly effective. If you tampered with a weapon, the enemy takes a -2 circumstance penalty to attack rolls and damage rolls with that weapon. If you tampered with armor, the armor hampers the enemy's movement, making the enemy Flat-Footed and inflicting a -10-foot penalty to its Speeds. The effect lasts until the enemy Interacts to remove it, regardless of which one you used. Effect: Armor Tampered With (Critical Success) Effect: Weapon Tampered With (Critical Success)

Traits

Collapse Armor Feat 2

Requirements You are wearing your armor innovation, or holding it in both hands in its compact form (see text).

You've modified your armor innovation to collapse into a more compact form so you can don or remove it in an instant. If you're wearing your innovation when you Collapse your Armor, you remove it instantly, and it compresses into its compact form, which is held in both of your hands (if you don't have both hands available, it falls to the ground in an adjacent space). If you're holding your armor in compact form when you take this action, it unfolds back into its armor form onto your body.

In compact form, your armor innovation is easier to carry, with a Bulk 1 lower than the Bulk listed for it, to a minimum of light Bulk (carried armor normally has a Bulk 1 higher than listed in the armor entry).

Traits

Collapse Construct Feat 2

You've modified your construct companion and built it out of light materials, enabling you to collapse it into a carrying case or other compact and innocuous form. Either your construct or you (if you're adjacent to it) can Collapse your Construct to turn it into its compact form or back into its normal form.

In compact form, your construct can't act but is easily carried, with a Bulk of 2 if it's Small, 4 if it's Medium, or 8 if it's Large. The compact form has wheels, so you can easily drag it behind you at half your Speed (rather than the usual slower Speed for dragging).

Traits

Reverse Engineer Feat 2

You are incredibly skilled at reverse engineering items to learn their formulas, or disassembling them just to disable them. You gain a +2 circumstance bonus to Crafting checks to reverse engineer a formula from an item. If you get a critical success on your Crafting check, you can opt to both create the formula and reassemble the original item at the same time, leaving you with the formula and the item instead of the formula and raw materials equal to half the item's value. Furthermore, you can use Crafting instead of Thievery to Disable a Device or Pick a Lock.

Traits

Searing Restoration Feat 2

They told you there was no way that explosions could heal people, but they were fools… Fools who didn't understand your brilliance! You create a minor explosion from your innovation, altering the combustion to cauterize wounds using vaporized medicinal herbs. You or a living creature adjacent to you regains level based healing. In addition, the creature you heal can attempt an immediate flat check to recover from a single source of persistent bleed damage, with the DC reduction from appropriate assistance.

Base 1d10 Hit Points. At 3rd level, and every 2 levels thereafter, increase the healing by 1d10.

Special If your innovation is a minion, it can take this action rather than you, though because it's not a living creature, it can't use the ability on itself.

DC 17 flatUnstable Check

On a failure, the innovation malfunctions in a spectacular (though harmless) fashion, such as a belch of smoke or shower of sparks, and it becomes incapable of being used for further unstable actions.

On a critical failure, you also take fire damage equal to your level.

Traits

Traits

Diving Armor Feat 4

You've modified your armor with fins, rotors, and other devices to make it easy for you to move through the water, plus mechanical gills that can help you extract breathable air from water. While wearing your armor innovation, you can breathe underwater and gain a swim Speed equal to your land Speed.

Traits

Dual-Form Weapon Feat 4

You've built your innovation with replaceable interlocking pieces that you can use to transform it into another type of weapon entirely. When you select this feat, choose a level 0 or 1st-level simple or martial weapon. It must be either a common weapon or another to which you have access. This weapon becomes your innovation's second configuration.

Select a new set of weapon modifications for this new configuration. You can spend two Interact actions to switch your weapon innovation between the two configurations. These actions don't need to be taken consecutively, but if you've provided the first and not the second, the weapon is non-functional as it is stranded between states. Your weapon's Bulk is always the greater Bulk of the two configurations, regardless of which configuration it's in-if one weapon is smaller than the other, you still need to keep any weapon parts on hand. Any runes on your weapon innovation don't affect the second weapon configuration.

Traits

Gadget Specialist Feat 4

Rather than just using your gadgets for various boosts and tweaks, you also craft a few specific temporary consumable gadgets each day. You gain the formulas for three common or uncommon gadgets. Each day during your daily preparations, you can create two temporary gadgets from your formula book. Gadgets prepared in this way don't cost you any resources to Craft and don't have any sale value. They are temporary items and fall apart the next time you make your daily preparations if you haven't already used them.

If you're a master in Crafting, you can create three gadgets per day, and you gain three additional common or uncommon gadget formulas. If you're legendary in Crafting, you can create four gadgets per day, and you gain another additional three common or uncommon gadget formulas, for a total of nine.

Traits

Megavolt Feat 6

You bleed off some electric power from your innovation in the shape of a damaging bolt.

Traits

Shared Overdrive Feat 12

You've experimented enough on your teammates to transfer a substantial number of powered-up gizmos to them, enabling one of your allies to benefit from the full effects and duration of your Overdrive. The first time you use Overdrive Ally during a given Overdrive, the effect lasts for the remainder of the duration of your Overdrive, instead of just until the end of the target's next turn. Any further uses of Overdrive Ally during the same Overdrive have their normal duration, per Overdrive Ally.

Traits

Explosive Maneuver Feat 14

Requirements Your last action was a successful Strike against a foe using your weapon innovation.

Paragon Companion Feat 14

Your construct companion has reached the pinnacle of form and function. Your construct companion becomes a paragon construct companion.

Traits

Soaring Armor Feat 14

While wearing your innovation, you gain a fly Speed equal to your land Speed.

Traits

Unstable Redundancies Feat 14

Trigger You would attempt the flat check for an unstable action, but you haven't rolled the flat check yet.

You've built triple redundancies into your innovation and added all sorts of buffers to protect it from the harm of your unstable experiments. You automatically succeed at the triggering flat check.

You can't rely on your Unstable Redundancies again until you spend 10 minutes setting them back up. If you spend 10 minutes retuning your innovation so you can use unstable actions again, you can set up your Unstable Redundancies during the same time.

Traits

Just the Thing! Feat 16

Frequency once per hour

Need to balance on a razor's edge, force open an iron door, or persuade a dragon to negotiate? Never fear! No matter the situation, you always have just the thing. You attempt a skill action that takes 1 minute or less to complete, using the same number of actions or amount of time as normal. However, as you take the action, describe a device you pull out and use to accomplish the skill. The specifics of how you accomplish this are up to you, but they should fit the challenge at hand. For instance, you might use gravitic stabilizers to balance on the razor's edge, a force battering ram gizmo to open the iron door, or a device that produces an aroma with the ability to pacify wyrms to persuade the dragon. Using an invention in this way lets you alter how you calculate the skill check used in the action. Instead of the normal skill modifier associated with that skill action, you use your Crafting modifier.

Traits

Persistent Boost Feat 16

Your innovation sets foes on fire, covers them in acid, leaves barbed thorns behind, or otherwise deals persistent damage to your foes that sticks around long after you deliver your boosted attack. When you or your construct innovation damage a foe with offensive boost, that foe also takes 1d8 Persistent Damage of the same damage type as the offensive boost damage.

Traits

You Failed to Account For... This! Feat 16

Trigger A creature you can see targets you with an attack against your AC.

When your foes try to attack you, you always seem to have some outlandish invention you can pull out at the last second to protect you from whatever attack they throw at you. Describe a device you're attempting to use to protect yourself from the foe's attack-for instance, when attacked by a shocker lizard's shock Strike, you might pull out a specially grounded lightning rod from that time you tried to power an invention by harnessing a thunderstorm! Using an invention to defend in this way means that the attack roll for the triggering attack targets your Crafting DC instead of your AC.

Since you're using your Crafting DC instead of your AC, any penalties to your AC don't apply, but this doesn't remove any conditions or other effects that are causing you such penalties. For instance, if you were Flat-Footed and used an invention to defend against a sneak attack, you'd still take the extra precision damage if you were hit, even though the -2 penalty to AC from being flat-footed wouldn't apply to your Crafting DC.

Traits

Devastating Weaponry Feat 18

You release a volley of projectiles from your weapon, or power it to fly in every direction across the battlefield and Strike multiple creatures. Make a Strike with your weapon innovation against each foe within 30 feet of you. Don't increase your multiple attack penalty until after making all the attacks. If your innovation is a melee weapon and any of the attacks are outside your reach, you Release the weapon before the Strikes, and it returns to your grasp after all of them. If your hands are full when the weapon returns, it falls to the ground in your space. As normal, if your weapon innovation requires one or more actions to reload between Strikes, you can't use it to make multiple attacks with Devastating Weaponry.

Traits

Engine of Destruction Feat 18

Your construct unleashes a broad swath of devastation by separating its limbs, deploying Hidden armaments, or using a similar technique to wreak havoc. You Command your innovation. Instead of its normal actions, it Strides once, then makes a Strike against each foe within 30 feet of it with a +2 circumstance bonus to its attack rolls. The multiple attack penalty doesn't increase until after the construct makes all the attacks.

Traits

Negate Damage Feat 18

Trigger You would take damage.

Your armor innovation activates various devices you prepared ahead of time, and you use one of them to reduce the damage you would take by 15.

Unstable Function You activate all the precautions at once, violently repelling the incoming attack to blunt its force. Add the unstable trait to Negate Damage and reduce the damage you would take by 50.

DC 17 flatUnstable Check

Traits

Full Automation Feat 20

You become so entwined with your innovations that you can use them without a second thought. You're permanently Quickened. How you can use the extra action depends on your innovation.

• Armor Your armor responds to the most subtle stimuli to move you in the right direction as long as you are wearing it. You can use the extra action to Stride, Step, or use a form of movement provided by your innovation (such as Fly or Swim).
• Construct Your ability to command your construct becomes instinctive. You can use the extra action to Command your construct innovation (or to provide 1 of the actions if you choose to spend 2 actions to Command your construct).
• Weapon Your weapon becomes easier to wield with deadly efficacy, almost as if it is an extension of your body. It speeds effortlessly toward whatever target you choose as long as you are holding it. You can use the extra action to Strike with your innovation.

Traits

Ubiquitous Overdrive Feat 20

You prepare a variety of incredible gizmos on each of your allies, linking them together through careful modification to enable you to power them up all at once.

The allies don't gain the increased damage from expert, master, or legendary overdrive.

Traits
