The Neoteric

The Neoteric
Epic Inventor

The Neoteric is much more than your average inventor, they take the bleeding edge and go right over it. The
neoteric exerts their epic power in the form of unbound upgrades, a small set of extremely powerful
modifications that they apply to their inventions.

Prerequisites
Becoming a Neoteric is a truly difficult task, only the most intelligent and driven of inventors can even fathom
the knowledge necessary to create the things that they do. The neoteric must expand their mind to epic
heights to even ponder the complexity of their unbound upgrades, inventions so powerful that they can rival
the effects of Epic magic.
To advance as a neoteric, you must meet the following prerequisites (in addition to the multiclassing
prerequisites for your existing class).
• Inventor Level 20 - Only the most intelligent and driven of inventors have the mental acuity to pursue
the path of the neoteric.
• Slay an Epic Foe - At the DM’s discretion, you may be required to defeat a mighty opponent of
tremendous power. This enemy must be the greatest threat you have ever faced and represent a
tremendous achievement in your adventuring career. DMs are encouraged to make this foe a creature of
great power that pushes a character to its limits. The creature need not be defeated single-handedly but
should always be of considerable challenge.
• Epic Trial: Unbound Inventiveness - A neoteric is a creator of things that have yet to be imagined.
Inspiration, cunning, and creativity are just as essential to a neoteric as food, air, and water.
Occasionally, a burning desire to build inspires a powerful inventor, and a creation must be tested and
developed. The implications of this experiment are staggering. It may reveal a unique process to bind
magic to matter, or invent a secret alloy that allows for even more complex arcane machines. Whatever
the construction, its design must be unknown to any significant body of knowledge and be suitably
difficult as to take at least a year and a day to create a working and sustainable version. This test of skill
and ability pushes an inventor into a new mode of thinking: the way of the neoteric, whose genius and
skill can be used to improve upon their already ingenious upgrades beyond conception or understanding.

amount. After the ally is healed in this manner, it gains Epic advantage on all ability checks, attack rolls, and

charges to grant that ally insight into a vision of a potential outcome granting it a bonus to its AC equal to
your Neoteric level against a number of attacks equal to the amount of animated items you have under your
control.

Failsafe - This infusion must be applied to an allied creature. When the creature this infusion is applied to is
reduced to 0 hit points and falls unconscious, rather than making death saving throws the creature instead
ignores the unconscious condition for a number of rounds equal to your Neoteric level. Whenever the infused
ally takes damage, the neoteric must succeed on a Intelligence saving throw with a save DC equal to half of
the damage dealt rounded down. On a failed saving throw, the neoteric must choose to either have the
infusion on the creature end, or you can choose to lose an amount of hit points equal to the damage dealt to
the infused creature. If the infusionsmith chooses the latter option, they have Epic disadvantage on the next
saving throw made to maintain the infusion. On a successful save, the infusion is maintained.

equal to half your Neoteric level unless you receive magical healing that would bring your current hit
point total beyond 0. Finally, if you are killed Via a non-Epic spell or effect that would make you more
difficult to raise from the dead, any spells cast to return you to life automatically succeed and require no
components.

Lightning Burst, as a part of the action to use that ability you also cast the tier 1 Epic spell Sonic Boom
centered on the same target. Doing this damages your Stormforged weapon to such a degree that it requires
an action and a 3rd level spell slot to repair (you can expend the spell slot as a part of the action).

Concentrated Beam - You devise an alternate firing mode for your Stormforged weapon that concentrates the
immense elemental power into a disruptive beam. When you fire your weapon in this mode, you can only
make one attack, but, you concentrate on the beams intensity (as if concentrating on a spell) to maintain the
beam for up to 1 minute before activating it again. The beam takes the shape of a 2,000 foot long, 10-foot wide
line of lightning. Each creature that starts its turn in the affected area must succeed on a Dexterity saving
throw Vs. you Neoteric save DC taking the weapons damage, plus thunder monger damage, plus an additional
10d6 lightning damage on a failed saving throw, or half as much on a successful saving throw. If the damage

Spell Absorbing and Turning Item - You create a minorly sentient upgrade that is purpose built to catch, and
return spells cast at you and your allies. You can use an action on your turn to deploy this upgrade, which
takes the shape of a small platinum orb. This orb has 3 charges, and can use its own reaction to expend them.
Whenever a spell is cast within a 120 foot-radius sphere of the orb, it spends a charge to cast the Counterspell
spell at 5th level. If the spell it attempts to counter is higher than 5th level, it uses your Intelligence modifier
to determine the bonus to the roll. Upon successfully countering a spell, that magic is absorbed and stored
until the initiative count of the original caster -5, where the stored spell is set off and cast with the original
caster as the target. Alternatively, when the item is deployed you can choose for it to expend all 3 of its
charges to cast the Tier Reverse Magic Epic spell on the first Epic spell cast in the affected area.

key or even a weapon. The upgrade can be used for the following.

resides in. Additionally, whenever you use the key to unlock a door for the first time, you can choose for
the other side of the door to lead to another door on the same plane that you have seen before.

Minimus Containment Orb - You create an upgrade that contains a small crystal orb that holds a demiplane
inside. As an action on your turn, you can release this orb to a point you can see within 60 feet of you. Each
creature of your choice within 5 feet of that point must make a Charisma saving throw Vs. your Neoteric spell
save DC or be trapped in a permanent temporal stasis within the orbs demiplane. A creature in this temporal
stasis does not age, require air to breathe, food to eat, or liquids to drink. As an action on a subsequent turn,
you can release the orb again to a point you can see within 60 feet of you, and release any number of creatures
that you choose that are within the orb. If a trapped creature has an Intelligence score of 8 or lower upon
being released from the orb, that creature is charmed by the orbs wielder until it is reduced to 0 hit points, or
on a different plane.

difficult terrain.

equal to half your Neoteric level. While in this state, the creature can choose to teleport to an
unoccupied space it can see within the range of its normal movement instead of using normal movement
methods. Additionally while in this state, if the creature is teleported or plane shifted against its will, it
can use its reaction to immediately return to the space it formerly occupied.

Targeted Cloaking System - You create an upgrade that can cloak its user from one creature in particular. As a
bonus action, the user can designate a creature it can see within 120 feet of it. For 1 minute, the user is
completely invisible to that creature, not only is the user invisible to the creature, but the target loses all
memory of the users existence for the duration. If the user attacks the target creature while cloaked, their
attacks don't deal damage but instead, cause the targeted creature to lose hit points equal to the damage dealt.
While cloaked this manner, the user also cannot be affected or detected by any divination spells that can
determine its location, motives, history, or existence.

Arcane Harvester - You create an upgrade that can replicate the magical energy used to produce spells, but it
feeds off its users life force. A creature using this device must be able to cast spells, and when it does so, it can
choose to lose a number of hit points equal to 10 X the spells level to cast that spell instead of using a spell
slot. If a spell cast in this manner deals damage, it deals arcane damage rather than its normal damage as the
harvester reverts the spellcasters life force back into the fundamental energies that pervade existence.
Additionally, if the spell requires its target to make a saving throw, that targets first saving throw is made
with Epic disadvantage. Finally, hit points magically restored to the user are halved until all the hit points
lost to harvester have been recovered.
