Tinker
Always carry an arclight spanner. You never know when you'll need it. What, there's no joke there, that's just some solid advice. Geez.
— Trade Prince Gazlowe
A gnome sits hunched over a workbench, carefully putting the finishing touches on a metallic gun, barely larger than the gnome's hand. With a few twist of the dials on this device, the gnome points it at his sheep, and an arc of blue energy reducing his fluffy friend to the size of a rat. The gnome beams with pride at his newly created shrink ray.
A gnoll growls in hunger as it looms over a dwarf, who slides a long, metal tube from a holster at his belt. With a thunderous roar, a gout of flame erupts from the tube, and the gnoll’s growls turn into shrieks of panic as it turns to flee.
A party of night elves walk around in a large lumber yard, hoping to remove these transgressors from their lands. Suddenly, with a revving of a large engine, a humanoid machine comes to life, one of its arms mounted with a large saw blade. Over the sound of the engine, the elves hear the mad cackling of a goblin, excited at the prospect to test his new toy out on live specimens.
Makers of advanced and seemingly magical technology, tinkers are defined by their inventive nature. The creators of incredible inventions, from crazy multipurpose knives to steam saws to siege engines, their devices allow them to overcome nearly any situation — and if they don't have the device they need, they just might be able to design and create a new one on the spot.
Cunning Inventors
Every tinker is defined by a specific craft, and see mastering the basic methods of their chosen craft as the first step to true progress, the invention of new methods and approaches.
All tinkers are united by their curiosity and inventive nature. To a tinker, inventing is an evolving art with a leading edge of discovery and mastery that pushes further ahead with each passing year. Tinkers value ingenuity and discovery. This penchant pushes them to seek a life of adventure, to not only discover new ways to improve their own inventions, but to find "willing" participants to test them out.
Intense Rivalries
The tinkers’ drive to invent and expand their understanding results in them constantly trying new ideas, and absorbing all the knowledge they can. A tinker who hears news of a newly discovered piece of technology or a new innovation must act fast to get it before any rivals do. While most tinkers are open with information to help advance the craft, all still possess their own trade secrets, and only wish to expand them faster than anyone else.
Almost every tinker has at least one rival, someone whom they seek to outdo at every turn. However, no rivalry out there compares to that that lies between those of the goblin and gnome races, who consistently compete to create an invention that's more innovative, insane, and functional than the last. These competitions are friendly or deadly , depending on the individuals involved - sometimes both.
By the same token, tinkers with similar philosophies and theories band together into loose guilds. They share their discoveries and work together to verify their theories and keep ahead of their rivals. One of the most prominent tinkers' guilds out there is the goblin run Tinkers' Union: avid explosions, laughter, and innovation prevade the halls of this union.

Quick Build
You can make a Tinker quickly by following these suggestions. First, make Intelligence your highest ability score, followed by Constitution or Dexterity. Second, choose guild artisan as your background.
Optional Rule: Multiclassing
If your group uses the optional rule on multiclassing in the Player's Handbook, here's what you need to know if you choose tinker as one of your classes.
Ability Score Minimum. As a multiclass character, you must have at least an Intelligence score of 13 to take a level in this class, or to take a level in another class if you are already a tinker.
Proficiencies Gained. If tinker isn't your initial class, here are the proficiencies you gain when you take your first level as a tinker: light armor, medium armor, firearms, thieves’ tools, tinker’s tools.
Class Features
As a Tinker, you gain the following class features
Hit Points
- Hit Dice: 1d8 per Tinker level
- Hit Points at 1st Level: 8 + your Constitution modifier
- Hit Points at Higher Levels: 1d8 (or 5) + your Constitution modifier per Tinker level after first
Proficiencies
- Armor: Light armor, medium armor
- Weapons: Simple weapons, firearms, hand crossbows, heavy crossbows
- Tools: Thieves' tools, tinker's tools, one type of artisan's tools of your choice
- Saving Throws: Constitution, Intelligence
- Skills: Choose two from Arcana, History, Investigation, Medicine, Nature, Perception, Sleight of Hand
Equipment
You start with the following equipment, in addition to the equipment granted by your background:
- any two simple weapons
- a pistol and 20 bullets
- (a) a studded leather armor or (b) scale mail
- tinker's tools and a dungeoneer's pack
Cobble
Your skill as a tinker helps you to make quick repairs and even improvements while on the road. You know the mending cantrip, and can use your tinker's tools as a spellcasting focus for it.
Additionally, as an action, you can choose an object that you can see within 30 feet of you and grant it a Cobble die.
Once within the next 10 minutes, a creature wielding a Cobbled object can roll the die and use it in one of the following effects, depending on the type of object:
- If the Cobbled object is a weapon or spellcasting focus, the creature can add the roll to its next attack roll.
- If the Cobbled object is an armor or shield, the creature can add the roll to its AC until the start of its next turn.
- If the Cobbled object is a tool, the creature can add the roll to its next check using the object.
Once the Cobble die is rolled, it is lost. An object can have only one Cobble die at a time.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your half your Tinker level (rounded up). You regain any expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Your Cobble die changes when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown in the Cobble Die column of the Tinker table.
Tinker Specialization
At 1st level, you specialize in a specific kind of tinkering. Your choice grants you features at 1st level and again at 6th, 10th, and 14th level.
Gadgetry
Through your time adventuring, you have devised Schematics, ingenious or novel designs for contraptions with a range of effects.
Schematics Known
At 2nd level, you gain two schematics of your choice, choosing from the "Gadgetry Schematics" section at the end of the class's description. You learn additional schematics of your choice when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown in the Schematics Known column of the Tinker class table. You must meet all of a schematic's prerequisites to learn it.
Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of the gadgetry schematics you learned with a new one.
Gadgetry Ability
Because your schematics rely on your tinkering and innovation, you use your Intelligence whenever a schematic refers to your gadgetry ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a schematic and when making an attack roll with one.
Gadgetry save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus +
your Intelligence modifier
Gadgetry attack modifier = your proficiency bonus +
your Intelligence modifier
Using Schematics
With artisan's tools in hand, you can create a gadget described in one of your schematics in an an unoccupied space within 5 feet of you. This creation requires 1 hour of uninterrupted work, which can coincide with a short or long rest. These gadgets are nonmagical and remain until destroyed, but can only be used by you.
You can only use a schematic to create one gadget at a time. If you try to create a second gadget using the same schematic, the first is immediately destroyed. A gadget is also destroyed if you replace the schematic used to create it with new schematic.
Engineering Style
At 3rd level, you develop a style of tinkering, that roughly aligns with the design philosophies of a certain race known for their innovation. You learn two schematics, choosing between the following Engineering Styles.
Schematics learned through Engineering Styles don't count towards which don't count towards your Schematics Known.
Dwarven Engineering. You know the Dwarven Boomstick and the Dwarven Runed Reflector schematics.
Forsaken Engineering. You know the Forsaken Auratic Nullifier and the Forsaken Plague Vial schematics.
Gnomish Engineering. You know the Gnomish Army Knife and Gnomish Shrink Ray schematics.
Goblin Engineering. You know the Goblin Jumper Cables and Goblin Rocket Boots schematics.
The Right Tool for the Job
Also at 3rd level, you've learned how to produce exactly the tool you need: with artisan's tools in hand, you can create one set of artisan's tools in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of you. This creation requires 1 hour of uninterrupted work, which can coincide with a short or long rest. The tools are nonmagical, and they are disassembled when you use this feature again.
Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.
Tool Expertise
At 5th level, your proficiency bonus is now doubled for any ability check you make that uses your proficiency with a tool.
Scavenger
Also at 5th level, you regain all your expended uses of Cobble when you finish a short or long rest.
Genius Under Fire
Starting at 7th level, you gain the ability to come up with solutions under pressure. When you or another creature you can see within 30 feet of you makes an ability check or a saving throw, you can use your reaction to expend one of your uses of Cobble and add it the roll. You can choose to use this reaction after seeing the d20 roll, but before knowing the result.
Improved Cobble
When you reach 9th level, you achieve an advanced understanding of slapdash engineering. You can use an action to give Cobble die to a number of objects you can see within 60 feet of you, equal to half your proficiency bonus. Additionally, you gain an additional effects for your Cobbled objects:
- If the Cobbled object is a gadget or magical item with a limited number of uses, the creature can regain one use.
- If the Cobbled object is a gadget or magical item with a limited number of charges, the creature can regain a number of charges equal to the number rolled.
- If the object is a vehicle or has a stat block (such as a cannon or trebuchet), you can add double the roll as temporary hit points for the object.
Additional Engineering Style
At 11th level, you can choose a second option from the Engineering Style class feature.
Arcane Understanding
At 15th level, your discoveries and inventions involving magical items allow you to attune with up to 4 magical items at once.
Additonally, you ignore all class, race, spell and level requirements on attuning to or using a magic item.
Improvisation
At 17th level, when you roll initiative and have no uses of Cobble left, you regain one use.
Additionally, as an action, you can chose one of the schematics you know, that isn't granted by your Engineering Style, and replace it with another schematic that you could learn at that level.
You can use this feature twice, and regain expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Magnum Opus
At 20th level, you have achieved a mastery of tinkering, and can devise your greatest invention; your masterpiece.
Creating your masterpiece may take weeks, months, or even years depending on the scope of the project. Work with your DM to figure out the logistics of gold cost and time spent. Examples of masterpieces may be Gelbin Mekkatorque's efficient Deeprun Tram, or Grand Apothecary Putress' devastating Blight.

Tinker Specializations
Apothecary Specialization
A withered forsaken stands within their laboratory, beakers and cauldrons bubble and spew horrid vapors into the air. The undead cackles and smirks as they uncork a vial from one of their pouches and pour the oozing, crimson liquid into the crucible.
Apothecaries are masters of alchemy and use their skills to produce potions capable of healing or harming.
Potion Brewer
Beginning at 1st level, whenever you finish a long rest, you can produce a potion in an empty flask you touch. When you do this, you choose between creating a curative or virulent. Roll on either the Curative Brewing or Virulent Brewing table for the potion's effect, which is triggered when someone drinks the potion or hit by a weapon coated in the potion. As an action, a creature can drink the potion, administer it to an incapacitated creature, or coat it onto a weapon.
A creature affected by a potion created through Virulent Brewing can choose to make a saving throw against your Gadgetry save DC, only taking the effect on a failure. Creatures immune to the poisoned condition are unaffected by potions created through Virulent Brewing.
Creating a potion in this way requires you to have alchemist supplies on your person, and any potion you create with this feature lasts until it is drunk, a weapon coated with it hits a creature, or until the end of your next long rest.
When you reach certain levels in this class, you can make more potions at the end of a long rest: two at 6th level, three at 10th level, and four at 14th level. Roll for each potion's effect separately. Each potion requires its own flask, and the effects of each potion don't stack.
Mixologist
Starting at 6th level, your time spent with dangerous chemicals has emboldened you with new skills. You gain immunity to poison damage and the poisoned condition.
Additionally, you have refined your formulas and are able to mix potions quickly. As an action, you can expend a Cobble die to produce a potion in an empty flask, as detailed in your Potion Brewer feature.
Adept Concoctions
Starting at 10th level, you have reached a certain mastery over some of your works, gaining the following effects:
- As an action, you can throw a potion created with your Potion Brewer feature at a creature within 30 feet and immediately trigger the effect on that creature.
- You can cast lesser restoration, or greater restoration if you expend a Cobble die, a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Curative Brewing
d4 | Effect |
---|---|
1 | Healing. The creature regains a number of hit points equal to two rolls of your cobble die + your Intelligence Modifier. |
2 | Swiftness. The creature's walking speed increases by 10 feet for 1 hour. |
3 | Defense. The creature gains a +1 bonus to AC for 10 minutes. |
4 | Heroic. The creature can roll a d4 and add the number rolled to every attack roll and saving throw they make for the next minute. |
Virulent Brewing
d4 | Effect |
---|---|
1 | Deadly. The creature is dealt poison damage equal to two rolls of your cobble die + your Intelligence Modifier. |
2 | Crippling. The creature's walking speed is decreased by 10 feet for 1 hour. |
3 | Weakening. The creature's AC is reduced by 1 for 10 minutes. |
4 | Debilitating. The creature must roll a d4 and subtract the number rolled to every attack roll and saving throw they make for the next minute. |
Alchemy Mastery
At 14th level, your time spent working with chemicals have resulted in an utter mastery of the craft. When you create a potion with your Potion Brewer, you can choose to create a masterwork potion. Choose whether to make the potion curative or virulent, creating a potion with one the following effects:
- If the potion is curative it acts as a heal spell.
- If the potion is virulent it acts as a harm spell and uses your Gadgetry save DC.
You can only make one masterwork potion per long rest, and cannot make a masterwork potion using your Mixologist feature.
Sapper Specialization
Artillerists, sappers, demolitionists, grenadiers, all similar names to describe the same thing: experts in the handling of explosive weapons. The mischievous goblin sappers are known throughout the Horde for their incredible aptitude for destruction, and dwarven mortar teams proved invaluable to the Alliance in every battle they've appeared.
Sappers are masters of one thing, explosions! They use this specialty to carve ruin into enemy ranks and level fortifications.
Explosives For Dummies
When you choose this specialization at 1st level, your affinity for destruction results in your discovery of explosive munitions. Whenever you finish a long rest, you can produce an explosive munition. When you do this, you choose between creating an Impact Grenade or Pressure Mine, with the effects for each listed below.
![](https://www.kindpng.com/picc/m/82-820945_goblin-icon-world-of-warcraft-goblin-icon-hd.png)
- Impact Grenades. As a bonus action, you can throw a grenade (to a point within 30 feet) or hurl it with a sling (to a point within the sling's long range). It detonates on impact, and each creature within a 10-foot radius must make a Dexterity saving throw against your Gadgetry save DC. On a failed save, affected creatures take 2d6 fire damage on a failed save and are pushed 10 feet from the center of the explosion. Creatures that succeed take half as much damage and aren't pushed.
- Pressure Mine. As a bonus action, you can set up a mine to cover a level, square area that is 10 feet on a side. There must not be a creature within the targeted area when you set up the mine. When a creature moves across the covered area, the mine detonates forcing all creatures within 5 feet of the covered area to make a Dexterity saving throw against your Gadgetry save DC. On a failed save, affected creatures take 2d8 fire damage and are knocked prone. Creatures that succeed take half as much damage and aren't knocked prone.
Creating an explosive munition in this way requires you to have tinker's tools or gunsmith's tools on your person, and any explosive munition you create with this feature lasts until it explodes or until the end of your next long rest.
When you reach certain levels in this class, you can make more potions at the end of a long rest: two at 6th level, three at 10th level, and four at 14th level. Each explosive munition can be of a different type.
Battlefield Demolition
At 6th level, you are a scholar in explosive theory. Your bombs deal twice as much damage to objects and structures and you have resistance to damage dealt by your own bombs.
In addition, you can put together improvised explosives quickly. As an action, you can expend a Cobble die to produce an explosive munition, as detailed in your Explosives For Dummies feature.
Doctorate In Destruction
Starting at 10th level, you've mastered the perfect time it takes to prime an explosive. As an action, you can cause your next explosive munition to explode unexpectedly, giving all affected creatures disadvantage on their saving throw. You can use this action only if you haven't moved during this turn, and after you use the action, your speed is 0 until the end of the current turn.
You can use this feature twice, and recover expended uses at the end of a long rest.
Master Blaster
At 14th level, you have achieved a mastery of the explosive arts.
- You can expend a Cobble die to cast the spell delayed blast fireball once without requiring material components, using your Gadgetry save DC. You must finish a long rest before you can cast it again with this feature.
- Magical barriers that can be destroyed by the Disintegrate spell (like Wall of Force, Otiluke Resilient Sphere, etc.) are also destroyed when they should take damage from one of your explosive munitions.
Gadgeteer Specialization
Gadgeteers are tinkers that combine the benefits from both magic and technology to create wondrous magical devices. Most gadgeteers are gnomes, blood elves, and draeneis, with gnomish gadgeteers establishing the Enlightened Assembly of Arcanology, Alchemy and Engineering Sciences.
Prepared with all forms of gadgets and devices to help in any situation, the gadgeteer is often seen as the quintessentiai tinker.
Spellcasting
When you choose this specialization at 1st level, you augment your martial prowess with the ability to cast spells.
Cantrips. You learn two cantrips of your choice from the mage spell list. You learn an additional wizard cantrip of your choice at 4th level and another at 10th level.
Spell Slots. The Gadgeteer Spellcasting table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.
For example, if you know the 1st-level spell shield and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast shield using either slot.
Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher. You know three 1st-level mage spells of your choice.
The Spells Known column of the Gadgeteer Spellcasting table shows when you learn more mage spells of 1st level or higher. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach 7th level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level.
Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of the mage spells you know with another spell of your choice from the mage spell list. The new spell must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
Spellcasting Ability. Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your mage spells, since you learn your spells through tinkering and experimentation. You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use the same method for determining your schematics' saving throw DC and when making an attack roll, as detailed in the "Gadgetry" feature, for when you cast a mage spell that requires a saving throw or attack roll.
Spellcasting Focus. You can use a set of tinker's tools as a spellcasting focus for your mage spells.
Magical Augmentation
Also at 1st level, you learn how to augment your spells, pushing them to their limits. Whenever you cast a spell, expend a number of Cobble die to apply one of the following Augmentations to the spell.
You can use only one Augmentation option on a spell when you cast it, unless otherwise noted.

Elementium Converter. When you cast a spell that deals a type of damage from the following list, you can expend 1 Cobble die to change that damage type to one of the other listed types: acid, cold, fire, lightning, poison, thunder.
Heat Seeking. When you cast a spell and make an attack roll as a part of that spell, or force a creature to make a saving throw, you can expend 1 Cobble die to gain advantage on the attack roll or impose disadvantage on the saving throw respectively.
Hyperspeed Accelerator. When you cast a spell with a casting time of one action, you can expend 2 Cobble dice to change the casting time to 1 bonus action for this casting.
Railgun Cannon. When you cast a spell that has a range of 5 feet or greater, you can expend 1 Cobble die to double the range for the spell.
When you cast a spell that has a range of touch, you can expend 1 Cobble die to make the range of the spell 30 feet.
Selective Targeting. When you cast a spell that forces another creature to make a saving throw, you can protect some from the spell's full force. To do so, you can expend 1 Cobble die and choose a number of those creatures up to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of one creature). A chosen creature automatically succeeds on its saving throw against the spell.
Magical Malfunctions
Due to the experimental nature of your magical technology, there is always a chance for it to go awry. Whenever you augment a spell using your Magical Augmentation feature, roll a d20. If you roll a 1, a malfunction occurs depending on the kind of magical augmentation you used in addition to the regular augmentation effect.
If a malfunction doesn't occur, the chances of it happening are higher. Every time time you succeed on a Magical Malfunction roll, the number needed to be rolled for a malfunction to occur increases by 1 until a malfunction occurs or until you finish a long rest.
Elementium Converter Malfunction. The volatile elementium discharges the unaltered elemental energy at you. You take an amount of damage, of the same type the augmented spell originally dealt, equal to one roll of your Cobble die.
Heat Seeking Malfunction. The targeting mainframe becomes misaligned. Roll a dice with a number of sides equal to the number of creatures within 30 feet of the target, assigning a value to each creature. If you roll the number assigned to a creature, the spell targets them instead of your original target.
Hyperspeed Accelerator Malfunction. Time temporarily warps in a reverse direction. You are under the effects of a slow spell until the end of your next turn.
Railgun Cannon Malfunction. The electromagnetic stabilizer overcharges. You are pushed 30 feet away from your target.
Selective Targeting Malfunction. The spell becomes weakened but widespread through the alteration of arcane energy. All creature in the targeted area, including the creatures chosen to succeed, instead must make their saves with advantage.
Magical Superfunctions
At 6th level, your inventions have developed to the point that they sometimes work better than intended. Whenever you make a Magical Malfunction roll, and you roll a 20, a superfunction occurs and the augmented spell is cast one spell level higher than the spell slot you used to cast it with.
Safety First
At 10th level, you've trained yourself in additional safety precautions. Whenever make a Magical Malfunction roll, you can roll twice and use either number.
Arcanotechnology Mastery
At 14th level, you've become a master in blending your magical and technological prowess. You gain the following effects:
- You can cast the transport via plants spell once, targeting two machines on the same plane of existence instead of two plants. You must finish a long rest before you can cast it again with this feature.
- Whenever you fail a concentration saving throw, you can choose to expend a Cobble die to temporarily disable one of your Gadgetry schematics, until the end of your long rest, but turn the failed save into a successful one. You must finish a long rest before you can activate this effect again.

Steam Warrior Specialization
Steam warriors are mechanics who bring their skills to the battlefield by building walking suits of mechanical terror. Though the armor most steam warriors take on have generally humanoid forms, a suit's functions are as individualized as its pilot.
The only activity most steam warriors enjoy more than using their suits in combat is tinkering with it between battle, improving old functions and adding new ones.
Steam Armor
Beginning when you choose this specialization at 1st level, you have built a terrific suit of mechanical armor. The suit is only operable by you, and can't function without an operator. See its game statistics in the Steam Armor stat block, which uses your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places. You determine the creature's appearance; your choice has no effect on its game statistics.
While operating the suit in combat, you control it on your turn, using its movement as your own and taking an action to use one of its actions. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. You can be targeted by spells and attacks instead of the suit, though you have half cover while operating it, and when you are forced make a saving throw you can cause the suit to suffer the effects instead.
If the mending spell is cast on it, it regains 2d6 hit points. If it has died within the last hour, you can use your tinker's tools or smith's tools as an action to revive it, provided you are within 5 feet of it and you expend a Cobble die. The suit returns to life after 1 minute with all its hit points restored.
At the end of a long rest, you can create a new suit if you have tinker's tools or smith's tools with you. If you already have a suit from this feature, the first one is immediately destroyed. The suit is also destroyed if you die.
Cobbled Machinery
Also at 1st level, your Steam Armor is considered as a weapon, armor, tool, and a vehicle, for the purposes of benefiting from your Cobble die's effects.
Initiate Battle Systems
At 5th level, your Steam Armor can attack twice, instead of once, when you use the Mechanical Assault action on your turn.
In addition, attacks made by your suit are considered magical for the purposes of overcoming resistances and immunities.
Advanced Steam Armor
At 10th level, you have three-quarters cover when operating your Steam Armor. You also gain the following effects:
- When you hit a target with a Mechanical Assault action, you can expend a number of Cobble die, to a maximum of 3, and add the total rolled to your damage.
- As an action, you can expend a number of Cobble die, to a maximum of 3, and add the total rolled as temporary hit points for your Steam Armor.
