At 14th level, and every six levels thereaer, the prophet gains an additional use of this ability (2/day at 14th level and 3/day at 20th level). Granted Power (Su) At 9th level, the prophet may select any one domain, gaining that domain’s granted power. She does not, however, gain domain spells. At 13th and 17thlevels, the prophet may select an additional domain. Greater Lore (Su) At 10th level, a prophet gains the ability to comprehend an object’s significance. Whenever a prophet touches a magic item, she automatically learns all of the item’s magical properties as though she had cast the identify spell. As with the spell, the prophet learns nothing when touching artifacts or items of similar power. Technologist Among the Witch Hill goblins, there are groups of crasmen who are peerless in their ability to manufacture technology and quasitechnology. Armed with the ability to generate finished products at a remarkable rate, they are the masters of their cra. However, in recent years, their secrets have escaped the confines of Witch Hill, and evidence of their unique skills have begun to appear all across the Archduchy. Calling themselves technologists, these crasmen embrace technology in all its forms, creating a variety of unique and unusual machines. Witch Hill sports the greatest concentration of these savants, and they look down on those who steal their secrets. Adventures While most Witch Hill goblins are content to work in their workshops, technologists of other races embrace adventuring as means to further their cra. By exploring other lands, technologists can uncover ancient technology, new raw resources, and in some instances expand their reputations. For a Witch Hill goblin to leave his city he must be something of odd sort, with warped views or untraditional methods, causing his peers to shun him. Table 8–6: The Technologist Chapter Eight: Character Classes 89 Characteristics The technologist is something of an extension of the expert NPC class. They have a broad assortment of abilities that allow them to create a variety of devices, some benign, and others harmful. They can affect constructs like no others can, either quickly repairing them or deconstructing them with unbelievable speed and accuracy. Furthermore, technologists can mimic magical effects through their cra, although they have no magical abilities whatsoever. With the ability to construct fireball projectors, machines capable of levitating (by pulley-driven fans, of course), or a host of other effects, they can sometimes be as formidable as spellcasters. Alignment From chaos is born creativity, consequently many technologists are chaotic. On the other hand, from order come the ability to replicate results, thus there are an equal amount of lawful technologist. Above all, though, most of these characters are neutral. Technologists may be good, neutral, or evil. Religion Like the Witch Hill goblins, technologists venerate Sri Senn Sindh. They rarely embrace other gods, although a rare few uphold Spiros or the Horde. Background For a Witch Hill goblin to adventure, he must be an outsider among his people, cast out for his maverick approach to crasmanship. Other technologists learn the trade by stealing secrets from the goblins, or being taught by one who did. As a result, many technologists wander about, shiless, rootless, without any connection to their homelands, for fear of ostracism by their people. Naturally, non-adventuresome technologists are valued members of their communities, encouraged to aid the war-effort and to never leave.

90 technology originate. Spirans and dwarves are the next most likely races, as both co-opted the knowledge from the despicable goblins. Few other races find this class appealing. Other Classes Technologists have little use for the superstitions of prophets, wizards, clerics, and other spellcasters. They believe the divine will manifests in their superior craft. Their derision generally extends to any who rely on spells to augment their natural talents. Fighters, barbarians, and other martial classes have their uses, although usually as guards or servants. No technologist, though, is above relying on a rogue to acquire the necessary components for their next project, whether attained legitimately or criminally. Game Rule Information Technologists have the following game statistics. Abilities: Technologists need a high Intelligence score for nearly all of their class features. Dexterity is also useful to supplement the fact that they don’t oen wear armor. Like arcane spellcasters, a technologist also benefits from a high Constitution Alignment: Any. Hit Die: d6. Class Skills The technologist’s class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Appraise (Int), Concentration (Con), Cra (Int), Disable Device (Int), Knowledge (architecture and engineering) (Int), Knowledge (technology) (Int)*, Open Lock (Dex), Profession (Wis), Search (Int), and Use Magic Device (Cha). See Chapter Four: Skills in the PHB for skill descriptions. *See Chapter Ten: Skills & Feats in this book for a description of this new class skill. Skill Points at 1st Level: (4 + Int modifier) x 4. Skill Points at Each Additional Level: 4 + Int modifier. Class Features All of the following are class features of the technologist. Weapon and Armor Proficiency The technologist is proficient with all simple weapons and light armor, but not with shields. Expert Crafter (Ex) Technologists are skilled in taking things apart and puing them back together again. At 1st level, technologists gain a +2 insight bonus to all Cra and Disable Device checks. Gadgets (Ex) The hallmark of the technologist’s skill is his ability to construct interesting, useful, and sometimes strange devices. Gadgets are similar to spells in that they allow the technologist to create amazing effects. What differentiates these effects from spells, however, is that they are technologically developed. In short, the technologist builds a device (this is up to the player) that occupies a normal magic item space (cloak, helmet, etc.) and generates a quasi-magical effect. The technologist begins play with one 0-level gadget (see Chapter Twelve: Magic for a complete list of gadget effects). The technologist can use any gadget three times per day. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a technologist’s gadget is 10 + the gadget level + the technologist’s Intelligence modifier. The technologist’s caster level for these effects equals his class level. The technologist does not get bonus gadgets for a high Intelligence modifier, and the numbers of gadgets on Table 8–6: The Technologist are fixed. Chapter Eight: Character Classes As the technologist gains levels, he can expand the number of his gadgets as indicated on Table 8–6: The Technologist. The technologist does not automatically gain the gadget; he must construct it. The slots on the table reflect the minimum level at which the technologist may build a new device. To construct a gadget, the technologist must Cra it using a relevant Cra (technology). The gadget has a price in gp equal to the level of the gadget x 400 (0-level gadgets count as 1/2 level), and the technologist must pay half (not a third) this price in raw materials before making Cra checks. The Cra DC to make the gadget equals 20 + the gadget level. See Chapter Ten: Skills & Feats in this book and Chapter Four: Skills in the PHB for details on the Cra skill. The constructed gadget can look like anything the technologist desires, but its appearance should reflect its nature. For example, a gadget replicating the effects of bull’s strength may be a pair of hydraulic-powered gloves, or another offering levitation may be a set of pulley-driven fans, pushing the technologist into the air. Regardless of the gadget and its effects, each gadget can have just one function. A gadget has a hardness equal to 1d6 + the technologist’s Intelligence modifier, and a number of hit points equal to 5 times the gadget level (with 0-level equal to 1/2 level). For example, Megriz, a Witch Hill goblin, advances to 2nd level. He gains the capacity to build an additional 0-level gadget. The gadget costs 200 gp (1/2 times 400 gp = 200 gp). He wants to work on his device while adventuring, so he tracks his progress by the day. He follows the steps as outlined in the Cra skill (as described in the PHB). 1. The gadget costs 2,000 sp. 2. The gadget has a DC of 20. 3. He pays 1,000 sp in raw materials (half of the price). 4. He makes a Cra (technology) check representing one week’s work. If the check succeeds, he multiplies his check result by the DC. If the result × the DC equals the price of the item in sp, then he completes the item. (If the result × the DC equals double or triple the price of the item in silver pieces, then he completes the task in one-half or one-third of the time. Other multiples of the DC reduce the time in the same manner.) If the result × the DC doesn’t equal the price, then it represents the progress he’s made this week. The result is recorded and he makes a new Cra check for the next week. Each week, he makes more progress until his total reaches the price of the item in silver pieces. If he fails the check by 4 or less, he makes no progress in the week. If he fails by 5 or more, he ruins half the raw materials and has to pay half the original raw material cost again. A technologist may take 10 on these rolls. Natural Alchemist (Ex) In general, technologists disdain magic, seeing it as a crutch for the mind. Given their distaste for sorcery, technologists look to other means to create alchemical items. Through innovative chemical compounds and solutions, technologists learn to replicate the alchemical items normally reserved for spellcasters. Technologists of 2nd level or higher may manufacture alchemical items without having to have a level in a spellcasting class. Dismantling Strike (Ex) A 3rd-level technologist knows just where to strike to break an object or animated object. If a technologist studies a construct or object for 1 round and then makes an aack with a melee weapon that successfully deals damage, his aack deals an additional +1d6 points of damage. While studying his target, the technologist can take no other action, fixed as he is by his scrutiny. This bonus damage increases by +1d6 at 7th level, and every four levels
