The mad scientist

[Inertial_Fey]

I made this when I had an inspration from a comic called Girl Genuis (google it, people)
This idea is taking the sterotypcle inventor from a steampunk genre and making it into a 20th level class.
Following this class will be a two more classes: a battle-based inventor and a mutation style intentor (kinda like Dr Jekyle Mr Hyde)

Class Features:
HD: D6
Skills: Same as rogue except does not get UMD and gains all knowledge skills. skills are 6+int mod
Armor and weapons:
Mad scientists are profient with all armor and shields (except tower sheilds) and all simple weapons. A mad scientist however, may not beable to invent, sabatoge or reverse engineer while wearing armor heaver then light.
Invent: A mad sceintist may create objects threw science to add herself and her companions. A scientist may choose from a list of ideas and can create an invention using function points (Fp) which they receive each day.
(this is tough to explain) a scientist begins with one idea+int mod at first level and gains a new idea every level. You may combine any idea together so long as they do not contradict (example: no fast/slow devices). At first level a scientist begins with basic inventions: light sized weapons, diminutive/small sized object or an article of clothing, like a glove or boot, as they progress in levels they may create larger and diffrent invention types.
Example: level one a mad scientist can create a mace that deals additionally lighting damage when struck (D6 for every function point) at second level they may choose to increase the amount of damage or may alter it to also cause a person to slow. The DC of an invention is (10+int mod+fp used) an invention requires new energy cells after so many uses, and a mad scientist must make more; a cell holds ten chargers. A charge is an instantanoes action (like a weapon firing) or a charge is three minutes per fp for an effect.
An energy cell is 25gp, and an invention can hold one energy cell per Fp. an invention uses one charge per fp, so a 3 fp invention would take 3 charges.
An invention requires one day per fp, and any invention larger the meduim sized requires 5 hired hands per size catigory, if the sceintist works solo it takes x5+six category more days to complete. the first day of creating an invention the scientist must use that many Fp for that day. when one day has passed the scientist uses one less Fp the next day, this continues till the invention is completed.
An invention needs constant maitence. At the beginning an invention has an hp of Fp+int mod (hardness of whatever metal is used), every week the device looses one hp until it falls apart. A scientist may expend one Fp to repair a single hitpoint. a scientist may also repair any damage done to the device the same way.
Invention types:
Basic: light weapon, diminutive sized object, artcle of clothing.
-Min/Max functions: 1-3
improved: One handed weapon, small medium sized object, full peice of clothing (shirt or pants). min/max: 3-6
greater: Two handed weapon, large or huge sized object, full armor. min/max 6-9

target- +2 to ranged attack per fp
holding
*holds- +2 to grapple check.

pushing- moves object or creature back 5 feat per fp (ref save)
pulling- pulls something 5 feat per fp (fort save)
cover
sheilding- +2 AC per fp
comtaining: holds object inside. may hold a small sized creature (one FP increases size catigory by one) against a grapple check of 10+fp. may also hold an additional energycell per fp
Preserve- causes matter to decay at one year for every day (per fp)
absorbing- 1/- damage reduction per two fp (effect only), when joined with another idea, gives resistence to idea 5 per fp.
Universal
strong- +2 str per fp
weaker- -2 str per fp
control- as suggestion spell (note: 8 or more fp in control acts as a dominate spell)
cutting- D6 normal damage per fp
Special idea's
Explotion- may only be used with elemental ideas-creates 5ft blast per fp
repair- may not be used with other concepts- can repair one fp, per fp.
Track- used to find a specific thing (example: heat, metal, movement) 30ft cone per fp
*must be choisen first to progress

Cost: object with 5 charges is 250gp per FP. a new powercell is 1/10 the base price and takes 1 fp to create, for each invention level above basic add x2 to price.
A single use item (one that burns out after using all its charges) is 50 gp.
example invention:
FP-
xxx lighting
xx stop
xx contain
two handed gun that shoots lighting that paralyses enemy when struck. Advanced invention. dmg: 3D6 paralsys DC of 15 (assuming character has intelegence of 18) for two rounds and holds 15 charges.
Cost: 7(FP) x 3(invention cost)x250= 5250- 525 per each additionally energy cell

An invention that carries an object or creature is considered to a clank with no mental stats. treat as having a strength score of 6 +2 for every size catigory. certain idea combinations can make inventions that hold more weight. adding the strength idea would give +2 strength for that object, or, in a more obscure way; dark and fly would create a cloud of gas that when kept in a balloon would cause more lift (treat 10 sqft of gas as a x1 to max carrying capacity)

lesser inventions:
A mad scientist doesnt need to to expend a full fp or the full gold to create simple devices to help in day to day needs such as flash lights or a lighter. inventions that do not use the full capicity of an idea are treated as half a fp point and only cost 1/10th base cost. things like flashlights(light), lighters(flame), desk fans(wind) or even a simple flying toy (fly) are aloud, other ideas needto be cleared by the DM.

Abilities:

Mechanical knowledge:
A mad scientist knows about all technology and can identify any machinery with a glance. In order to understand the function and complexity of any invention. A mad scientist must roll D20+mad scientist level (DC 10+inventions FP value) in order to understand the technology. A mad scientist may also be able to discern if two inventions are made by the same person.
A mad scientist may use this skill as a trap find against traps that are also inventions.
Mechanical knowlegde requires a partial action

Intuitive knowledge:
Mad Scientists are amazing at learning knew skills and can even become near proficient at something by mealy watching.
When watching someone use a skill with at least 5 ranks in said skill for three rounds A mad scientist may spend at least one FP to gain a +5 skill bonus for one minute per fp used.

Deactivate
Most inventions rarely have a conveniently placed on/off button and requires a sense of know-how of the device. When a mad scientist is attempting to deactivate an invention that they are have not created or familiar with they must first understand the invention by making a mechanical knowledge roll. If the roll succeeds they may move into the inventions space or hold it if small enough and must spend at least one Fp to make a roll (D20+int+fp) in an attempt to deactivate a device (DC 10+inventors int+fp value). If the invention is a moving object such as a clank or a body suit the scientist must succeed a grapple check. Once a device has been deativated it can no longer function, even if it has an on switch. In order to reactivate the invention someone familiar with the invention may spend one fp.
Deactivate requires a full round action per size category

Know your enemy:
When a mad scientist studies a battle for 1 round and spends 1 Fp they can give all allies information on their enemies and stratigies on how to fight. At level 5 they give all allies +1 bonus to all rolls against their enemy, at level 9 it becomes a +2 and at level 13 becomes a +3. Additionationally all allies receive information on the enemies they are fighting such as damage reduction, immunitues/resistances, power in comparison to the party ect.
A mad scientist must beable to speak to give the bonus and an ally must beable to hear to receive it, although regarless of either situation the mad scientist still receives the bonus herself.

Reverse Engineer:
When a Mad scientist deactivates an invention they may take apart the invention for any usable parts. A mad scientist takes 1 minute per Fp plus one hour per size catigory to deconstruct an invention. A mad sceintist gains the total Fp value minus any damage done to the invention in parts (every hitpoint loss is 1 less fp gained).

Malfunction:
At level 7 in a full round action a mad scientist may spend an additional fp to cause the machine to malfunction. When an invention malfunctions it falls apart and deals D4 points of damage per remaining energy cell to who ever is currently using it. In addition, a mad scientist may cause a machine to malfunction while deactivating it as a free action. A succeesful spot check (DC 15) can tell if an invention is set to malfunction.

Invent Generator:
At level 6 a mad scientist can invent a generator to help power her inventions.

Quick invention:
At level 12 a mad scientist can take spare parts and create a crude but effective device. A mad scientist may put together a basic invention at twise the normal Fp cost that requires one round per fp used. Quick inventions are flimsy and unstable, every time one is activated their is a 5% chance of it malfunctioning. quick inventions also loose an HP every day, not every week, most scientists rarely see a reason to keep one after its fulfilled its innitial use. at level 20 a mad scientist mad quick invent up to an improved invention.

Bonus Feat:
At level 8 a mad scientist may choose one of three bonus feats: Construct Clank, construck cybernetics, juryrig. A mad scientist does not need to fufull the base requirements to take this feat.

Problem solver:
At level 17 a mad scientist becomes so intuned with her inner genuies she can understand the world around her in a way inconseavable to anyone around her.
For 1 fp a round a mad scientist recieves a +10 bonus to any skill check, a +4 dodge bonus to her AC, a +4 bonus to attack rolls and all criticals are automatically confirmed. additionally, a mad scientist becomes temporaly profientient with any weapon she weilds.
These effects stack with Know Your Enemy.
