Augmented
A detonation is heard, an halfling woman sees through her drone that her distraction was effective and starts preparing herself for the grandiose finish. A barrage of missiles.
Imps start running away as a tiefling readies its blades emitting radiant energy. They start climbing the wall to get a better fighting angle as imps start crawling back towards them.
A snap echoes, as a dwarven man bolts through the corridors of the castle, his body smoking with heat. He grabs the nearby guard and jabs him with a dagger engulfed in acid, propelling him immediately to the ceiling after another snap echoes.
Whatever their augmentation is, augmented are connected by their usage of magical energies.
Whether used as a clever distraction or a focus on defensive/aggressive abilities, this energy allows augmented to be successful on their diverse quests.
The Usage Of Energy
Augmented, by definition need a source of energy, this energy comes from the motion of precise technology and magic, that only they understand. This energy is the result of the combination between technology and the magic present in the multiverse.
Augmented project this energy in their mechanical parts to allow movements, magical effects or abilities that exceed what they could previously do. Using this energy, augmented can use improbable weapons and objects to give them an edge that nobody else has.
As they gain experience, their knowledge and control of elemental powers gives them more control over their mechanical parts and allow them to conjure some of their equipment with this energy.
Risks And Rewards
To become an augmented, one as to sacrifice parts of its body, this means that the risk of not succeeding in creating working pieces is always present. Augmented who succeed are faced with a lot more challenges and rewards as their hunger for knowledge is now open to new domains, which leads to taking more risks.
For every successful augmented, how many failed and died miserably ?
Most augmented live near big industrial or commercial towns as they will often need supplies for experiments. Libraries are also important for augmented, as they hold an almost infinite source of knowledge.
Augmented don't hesitate to help the local folks if a monster or other dangerous hazards endangers the life of the peoples. This makes it easy for them to test their creations.
For an augmented, becoming an adventurer means finding unknown technologies and other hidden technological prowess. Those who leave their safety bubble fully take on the adventuring life, learning about the world and it's mysteries, while also testing their work.
Because of what they do, augmented have to take jobs to get some sort of income, so material wealth found on creatures or chest are welcome and necessary for them to pursue their goals.
Appearance
The many augmented of the world have different appearances according to their native region or technology, each of which determines how they act and interact. If your character appearance reflect a certain type of technology, what does it look like, and what does it represent?
Gunsmith
Your augmented body, in most cases, was not entirely made by you. The person who helped you make your parts is also a helping hand when you need repairs or upgrades. What's your relationship like with this person ? Do you trust this person, do you care about them ?

Creating an Augmented
As you make your augmented character, spend some time thinking about it's origin.
How did you become an augmented ? Did you get caught in a terrible accident, or did you willingly sacrifice parts of your body, maybe you're part of a mechanical god cult ? Did you steal parts of your body, or did a friend make them ? Do you hide your parts, or do you wield them proudly ?
Work with your DM to determine how big a part of your past your parts play in your character adventuring career. Did you ever meet other augmented ?

Sentinel Drone. As a bonus action the augmented alchemist can power its sentinel drone for an hour if its within 30 feet of it. The drone deactivates itself if its 120 feet away from the augmented alchemist or the duration expires, slowly drifting toward the ground. You can't have multiple drones of this type active at the same time. If it drops to 0 hit points its destroyed. In combat, the sentinel drone shares the augmented alchemist initiative count, and takes its turn immediately after it. The only action it takes on its turn is either the Dodge action or a ranged attack, unless the augmented alchemist took a bonus action on its turn to command it to take either the Dash, Disengage, or Help action. The sentinel drone, as a part of its turn can make one ranged weapon attack with a hand crossbow hidden inside it. You use the sentinel drone statistics for the attack roll. The sentinel drone can only shoot 5 bolts.
