Beginning at 9th level, you can roll one additional
weapon damage die when determining the extra damage
for a critical hit with a weapon attack. This increases to
two additional dice at 13th level and three additional dice
at 17th level.
Relentless Overdrive
Starting at 11th level, your overdrive mode can keep you
fighting despite grievous wounds. If you drop to 0 hit
points while you're in overdrive mode and don't die
outright, you can make a DC 10 Constitution saving
throw. If you succeed, you drop to 1 hit point instead.
Each time you use this feature after the first, the DC
increases by 5. When you finish a short or long rest, the
DC resets to 10.
Persistent Overdrive
Beginning at 15th level, your overdrive mode is so fierce
that it lasts for a full minute, regardless of your
Constitution.
Muscle Replacement
Beginning at 18th level, if your total for a Strength check
is less than your Strength score, you can use that score in
place of the total.
Cybernetic Champion
At 20th level, your body becomes as much machine as
flesh. Your Strength and Constitution scores increase by
4. Your maximum for those scores is now 24.
Path of the Feralist
For some juggernauts, their overdrives, and battle itself,
are more than just a tool – it is their life. These Feralists
whip themselves into a terrible battle frenzy, dominating
the battle field. The mere sight of a frothing, rage-filled
feralist closing in on you is enough to terrify even the
most war-hardened foe.
Frenzy
Starting when you choose this path at 3rd level, you can
overclock your sorium drive when you overdrive. If you
do so, for the duration of your overdrive you can make a
single weapon attack as a bonus action on each of your
turns after this one. Alternately, as a bonus action you
may target a foe within 5 feet of you with a ranged
weapon attack, so long as the weapon has the Adaptable
feature. When your overdrive ends, you suffer one level
of exhaustion (as described in appendix A).
Mindless Overdrive
Beginning at 6th level, you can't be charmed or frightened
while in overdrive. If you are charmed or frightened when
you enter your overdrive, the effect is suspended for the
duration of the overdrive.
Intimidating Presence
Beginning at 10th level, you can use your action to
frighten someone with your menacing presence. When
you do so, choose one creature that you can see within 30
feet of you. If the creature can see or hear you, it must
succeed on a Wisdom saving throw (DC equal to 8 +
your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier) or
be frightened of you until the end of your next turn. On
subsequent turns, you can use your action to extend the
duration of this effect on the frightened creature until the
end of your next turn. This effect ends if the creature ends
its turn out of line of sight or more than 60 feet away from
you.
If the creature succeeds on its saving throw, you can't use
this feature on that creature again for 24 hours.
Retaliation
Starting at 14th level, when you take damage from a
creature that is within 5 feet of you, you can use your
reaction to make a melee weapon attack or a ranged attack
with the Adaptable weapon quality against that creature.

Path of the Praetorian
Many juggernauts seek to become the ultimate defender
rather than attacker. These elite guards develop their skills
to protect their allies rather than dominate battlefields.
Honing their nanites to build countless tiny microcdrones,
they use their sorium drives to field these drones,
harrassing foes who would hurt their charges.
Drone Protectors
Starting when you choose this path at 3rd level, tiny
microdrones appear when you enter your overdrive.
While you’re in overdrive mode, the first creature you hit
with an attack on your turn becomes the target of the
drones, which hinder its attacks. Until the start of your
next turn, that target has disadvantage on any attack roll
that isn’t against you, and when the target hits a creature you are immune to radiant damage, and may use your
other than you with an attack, that creature has resistance reaction to inflict radiant damage equal to 1d6 plus your
to the damage dealt by the attack. The effect on the target Constitution modifier to a creature that strikes you in
ends early if your overdrive ends.
Electromagnetic Repulsion
Beginning at 6th level, your microdrones you can defend
your nearby allies from injury by forming an
electromagnetic shield between them, intercepting
damage. If you are in overdrive mode and another
creature you can see within 30 feet of you takes damage,
you can use your reaction to reduce that damage by 2d6
poitns of damage.
When you reach certain levels in this class, you can
reduce the damage by more: by 3d6 at 10th level and by
4d6 at 14th level.
Detact Drone
At 10th level, you can detact one of your drones, sending
it remotely to either see at range or protect an ally. When
you do so, you use the cortex link or sensory extension
techniques, without using a spell slot or material
components. Rather than creating a spherical sensor, this
use of sensory extension cloaks and phases one of your
microdrones and sends it to the chosen location. Targets
who can see invisible objects sees the tiny drone but
cannot attack it. Wisdom s the forgin ability for these
techniques.
After you use either of these talents, you can’t use this
feature again until you finish a short or long rest.
Improved Repulsion
At 14th level, your microdrones shock targets who choose
to hurt an ally. When you use your Electromagnetic Upon reaching 20th level, you may use this ability freely,
Repulsion to reduce the damage of an attack, the attacker
takes an amount of lightning damage equal to the damage
that your Electromagnetic Repulsion prevents.
Path of the Luminary
Sorium drives produce extreme amounts of energy,
especially when put into overdrive. Luminaries learn to
harness the excess power to fuel their attacks, emitting
radiant energy around them and obliterating their foes
with searing blasts.
Radiant Expulsion
Starting when you choose this path at 3rd level, you begin
to emit radiant energy from your sorium drive when you
go into overdrive. Upon activating you overdrive mode,
melee.
Radiant Soul
Beginning at 6th level, you gain resistance to radiant
damage even when you are not in overdrive, as well as
infravision up to 60 feet (if you already have infravision,
increase its range by 30 feet).
Furthermore, as an action you may touch one object that
is no larger than 10 feet in any dimension. For one hour,
the object sheds bright light in a 20-foot radius and dim
light for an additional 20 feet. The light can be colored as
you like. Completely covering the object with something
opaque blocks the light. The spell ends if you cast it again
or dismiss it as an action. If you target an object held or
worn by a hostile creature, that creature must succeed on
a Dexterity saving throw to avoid the spell.
Radiant Infusion
Starting at 10th level, while in overdrive mode, your
weapon attacks deal an extra 1d6 points of radiant
damage, and are considered forged attacks.
Radiant Blast
Beginning at 14th level, as an action, you may use the
light beam talent at Rank 5, firing a blast of radiant
energy from your sorium drive. If you are currently in
overdrive mode, your overdrive ends immediately;
otherwise, you must expend one use of your overdrive to
use this ability. Constitution is your channeling ability for
this talent.
as you have unlimited overdrives.
