Pack Tactics. The gadgeteer has advantage on attack rolls against a creature if at least one of the gadgeteer's allies is within 5 feet of the creature and the ally isn’t incapacitated.
Tinker's Tools. The jawa gadgeteer has proficiency with tinker's tools and is seldom without them. If its tools are taken away or lost, it can cobble together a new set from wire, bits of metal, and other junk in 30 minutes.
Traps and Snares. The jawa gadgeteer excels at setting mechanical traps. Detecting, disarming, avoiding, or mitigating its traps require successful DC 13 checks or saving throws, and the traps have +5 attack bonuses. With tinker's tools and basic construction materials, a gadgeteer can set up one of the simple but effective traps listed below in 5 minutes. Triggers involve pressure plates, tripwires, small catches in a lock, or other simple mechanisms.
Choke Bomb. This small incendiary device burns rapidly and releases choking smoke in a 20-foot sphere. The area is heavily obscured. Any breathing creature that’s in the affected area when the cloud is created or that starts its turn in the cloud is poisoned. Once a poisoned creature leaves the cloud, it makes a DC 13 Constitution saving throw at the end of its turns, ending the poisoned condition on a success. The smoke dissipates after 10 minutes, or after 1 round in a strong wind.
Shocking Sliver. An electrified sliver or needle can be hidden almost anywhere: inside a lock or a box, in a carpeted floor, on the underside of a door handle, in a cup of liquid or a bowl of gems. When someone meets the conditions for being jabbed by the sliver, the trap makes a melee weapon attack with advantage: +5 to hit, reach 0 ft., one target; Hit: 2 (1d4) kinetic damage plus 14 (4d6) poison damage, or one-half poison damage with a successful DC 13 Constitution saving throw.
Skullpopper. This trap consists of either a heavy weight, a spike, or a blade, set to fall or swing into a victim. When triggered, a skullpopper makes a melee weapon attack against the first target in its path: +5 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target; Hit: 11 (2d10) kinetic damage.
Slingsnare. A concealed loop of fibercord or wire is affixed to a counterweight. When a creature steps into the snare, it must make a successful DC 13 Dexterity saving throw or be yanked into the air and suspended, upside down, 5 feet above the ground. The snared creature is restrained (escape DC 13). The cord is AC 10 and has 5 hit points.
Actions
Vibrodagger. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d4+3) kinetic damage.
Slugthrower. Ranged Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, range 100/400, one target. Hit: 7 (1d8+3) kinetic damage and the target must make a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or take 7 (2d6) poison damage. A creature takes half of the poison damage on a success.
Shredder (Recharge 6). The jawa gadgeteer primes and throws a device at a point within 30 feet. The device explodes when it hits something solid, flinging razor-sharp spikes in a 15-foot-radius sphere. Every creature in the area takes 14 (4d6) kinetic damage, or half damage with a successful DC 13 Dexterity saving throw. The ground inside the spherical area is littered with spikes; it becomes difficult terrain, and a creature that falls prone in the area takes 7 (2d6) kinetic damage.
Stunner (1/day). The target is restrained (escape DC 13). While restrained, the target takes 7 (2d6) lightning damage at the start of its turn and falls prone. The gadgeteer has advantage on the attack roll if the target is wearing metal armor or is a droid. A stunner is a bola made of vibrocord, magnets, and static electricity capacitors. A jawa gadgeteer can recharge it during a long rest.
GADGETEER NEEDS GADGETS!
The gadgeteer falls between CR 3 and 4, depending on how many traps PCs fall into before they corner him. For 1 or 2 traps, assume CR 3. For 4 or more, use CR 4. Make sure to put the gadgeteer to work!
