I want to tell you about a new ebook recently released by a writer friend of mine, by Julian of Aardvark Press, on DriveThru.

Conversion Series: The Inventor

Presented in this book is a conversion of the inventor class for Pathfinder First Edition, from the Pathfinder Second Edition Guns & Gears book. The inventor is a technology-focused skill-based class that can perform a variety of roles. Inventors are intelligent characters who use their inventions to good effect. They may be melee-focused, defense-focused, have some ability to deal blasting damage, and/or focus on creating gadgets (consumable one-use items that last for the day) that provide them with options on adventures.

An inventor gains an innovation that represents their preeminent work, which can be a suit of armor, construct, or weapon. In addition, inventors gain unstable actions, which are experimental applications of their innovation that even the inventor can’t fully predict. Unstable actions can be used to create explosions or many other effects.

Like an alchemist or investigator, inventors gain discoveries that allow them to improve their innovation, gain additional uses of unstable actions, gain the ability to create temporary gadgets, and much more!

Also included are sixteen archetypes for the class, all but one of which are new. Finally, there are new discoveries and innovations that are in addition to the converted Pathfinder Second Edition ones, and a miscellany section (including new equipment, new feats, sample build suggestions, and more!).

This new class might be perfect for your campaigns!
