Puppeteer Class - GM Binder

The Puppeteer
Puppeteer
A young woman hums a song while making a beautiful dress.
Around her, little puppets made of colorful fabric dance to the
rhythm, moving boxes, embroidering ornaments in the dress,
and cleaning the workshop before opening time.
A Kalashtar sits idle in a tavern with her eyes closed while
she plays with a coin, ignoring the other patrons. Outside, her
puppet patrols the roofs and streets while she sees through
its senses, seeking for their prey.
The curtain moves to reveal an old man sitting with a
traditional outfit. He starts to play his instrument and tells a
traditional story. A delicate puppet enters the stage and
enacts the character from the tale, to the applause of the
spectators.
Ranging from artisans to bounty hunters, puppeteers create
their allies instead of seeking them, and train to work in
perfect synchrony with them and the runic magic used in
their fabrication.
Artificial Couple
More often than not, puppets are seen as simple toys or tools,
but for a puppeteer they are much more. Their puppets are
conduits of the magic flowing through the world, living
masterpieces that will accompany them for the rest of their
lives.
Although members of a guild, many puppeteers have
another profession, and their puppets help them as tireless
assistants. Be it sewing, dancing, bounty hunting or whatever
else their creator proposes to do, they will never do it alone.
Bonded in soul and magic
Unlike those who manipulate magic through rituals,
knowledge, or even nature, puppeteers are more subtle,
fusing simple materials with carefully-crafted runes to create
masterpieces that amaze allies and enemies alike.
Once created, the runes of a puppet bond with the soul of
its creator for the rest of their lives, creating a connection
that lets them work in perfect synchrony and share the magic
that gives life to its body, letting them fool enemies, control
the battlefields and unleash destructive attacks.
Creating a Puppeteer
When you create your puppeteer character, think of how you
started to learn to make puppets and to infuse them. Did you
join a guild as a family tradition, following in the steps of your
elders? Was your teacher a retired master of a guild and took
you as his apprentice? You might be self-taught, looking
through the window of the guilds and repeating what they
did, hearing and seeking books to learn whatever you could.
Maybe you found your puppet lying around, or someone gifted
it to you, setting you on this path.
Did you decide to start your adventuring career as a way of
perfecting your techniques and runes? What made you join
up with a band of adventurers? Do you want to help others
through what you have learned, or do you want to learn from
them all you can in the ways of combat and magic?

Deadly waltz
Starting at 5th level, you and your puppet synchronize
perfectly in the stage and in battle. When you take the Attack
action and hit a creature with an attack made as part of that
action, your puppet can use its reaction to move 5 feet
towards the creature and make an attack, or it can make an
attack and move 5 feet in any horizontal direction. Attacks of
opportunity made against your puppet have disadvantage
when it uses this reaction.
In preparation for future battles and performances, you
modify the structure and runes of your puppet to give it a
semblance of martial prowess. Your puppet gains proficiency
with the dagger, spear, rapier, or glaive (your choice).
Captivating performance
At 10th level, you can make the magic of the runes create a
beautiful and delicate spectacle. Your puppet can use an
action to start singing or dancing until the start of its next
turn. Enemy creatures that can see or hear the puppet in a
15-foot radius centered on it, must succeed on a Wisdom
saving throw or be captivated by the performance. Until the
start of your puppet's next turn, affected creatures make
attack rolls and Dexterity saving throws with disadvantage. If
you use your action to sing or dance with your puppet the
area increases to 30 feet and the creatures have disadvantage
on the saving throw. You must be within 5 feet of your puppet
to use this special action.
After using this ability you and your puppet must finish a
short or long rest.

senses of your puppet. While you are using its senses, you are
blinded and deafened in regards of you own surroundings.
Chase and Hunt
Starting at 5th level, you and your puppet work together to
slow and catch up your enemies. When your puppet takes the
Attack action and hits with an attack, you can use your
reaction to make a weapon attack to the same creature, if
your attacks hits, you reduce the creatures speed in 10 feet
until the start of your next turn.
Overwhelming Presence
At 10th level, the magic of your puppet can make its preys feel
the pressure of their imminent end. As an action, your puppet
can create a magical connection with a creature it can see
within 30 feet for 1 minute. The target must make a Wisdom
saving throw. On a failure, the target learns the approximate
location of the puppet and becomes blind beyond a 60-foot
radius around them. If you use your action to strengthen the
connection, the affected creature can only see and hear
themselves, you and your puppet for the duration, and they
know the exact location of you and your puppet for the
duration. You must be at 5 feet of your puppet to use this
special action yourself.
On subsequent turns, the affected creature can repeat the
