Special Thanks:

Using This Book

This book is intended for use by both players and Dungeon Masters for supplementing fifth edition D&D campaigns in cyberpunk settings. The rules are also flexible enough to be adapted for modern or science fiction campaigns.

Included in the book are the following:

• 13 new subclasses, one for each class including the artificer
• Feats, spells, fighting styles, warlock invocations, and artificer infusions
• 15 backgrounds suited for a cyberpunk setting
• In-depth firearm and ammunition rules
• Vehicle rules for cars, boats, aircraft, and more
• Equipment, explosives, and consumables
• Hacking and network security
• Drugs and addiction
• Humanoid, drone, and AI statistics
• And more!

Instead of altering the core concepts of D&D, this book has been designed with the same philosophy in mind, expanding only to cover cyberpunk concepts that the base books do not explore.

These are the core philosophies for this book:

Money

Carrying around heavy bags full of shining gold coins is impractical. Instead, the world standard for currency is the credit.

You can stash your hard-earned cash in small credsticks, or even bank accounts if you’re feeling civilized. In terms of D&D buying power, 1 copper coin is equal to 1 credit. Use the Currency Equivalency table to see exact exchange rates.

Starting Equipment

The traditional starting equipment of leather, chainmail, and crossbows may be out of place in your Cyberpunk setting. Some martial firearms, such as the rocket launcher or gatling gun are not meant to be available as starting equipment.

See the starting equipment table for how to exchange one piece of starting equipment for another. With the DM’s permission, the player can also use the normal starting equipment instead.

DM Tip: Valuable Firearms

Some martial firearms make starting equipment substantially more valuable. Bear this in mind for players who are using the Starting Wealth by Class table from the Player's Handbook.

Street Sam: Hey folks, I'm new around here! I was told this was a good place to get work and advice.

Wildfire: welcome to the Grapevine, Sam! :)

SlapChop: You came to the right place, my man. I got just the job for you.

Sundown: Don't listen to him, the last group that went on one of his jobs ended up as organs and spare parts across a dozen black market sites.

SlapChop: Come on, dude! It's not my fault they were all talk and no spark.

Artificer: Mech Pilot

Mastery of the modern battlefield requires a hybrid approach of technology and magic, and no combat specialist epitomizes this approach better than the Mech Pilot. Armed and armored in an enchanted mobile suit, the battle mech is a flexible weapons platform built to be reconfigurable. This allows it to fit into any tactical situation on evolving battlefields.

The Mech Pilot’s bond to their battle mech is critical to their success. The battle mech is attuned to their pilot’s magic, and strong fluctuations of that power source can cause instability, desynchronization, and mission failure. However, a Mech Pilot with mind and mech united can become an unstoppable force.

Tactical Assault Array

Also at 3rd level, you can adjust your armor for a given combat situation. When you create your battle mech, choose one of the following modes: hellion, valkyrie, or titan. The mode you choose gives you special benefits while you wear the battle mech, and determines its properties as armor per the Battle Mech Armor table.

You can change your battle mech’s mode whenever you finish a short or long rest, provided you have tinker’s tools in hand.

Ticker: You might be the slimiest fixer I've ever heard of.

SlapChop: Ah, but you have heard of me!

Ticker: Well, I've heard you're very cheap, as are your operators, and my client has a budget.

SlapChop: Say no more, say no more, I've got a batch of experts ready to go, perfect for your client's needs.

Ticker: I haven't even told you what the job is.

 A firearm can have only 1 savage accessory, and you can maintain a number of savage accessories equal to your Rage Damage. If you attempt to add a savage accessory beyond your limit, you can choose which of your current savage accessories will break and become unusable.

If a creature other than you attempts to use one of your savage accessories or the firearm it is attached to, the attempt will fail and the firearm will malfunction, causing the creature to take 2d4 slashing or piercing damage (your choice).

Bard: College of Anarchy

The College of Anarchy is less a place and more a state of mind. It is a rejection of oppressive governments, of soulless megacorporations, and of any shithead that wants to tell you what to do. It is a statement of revolution against ‘The Man’, and all it represents.

The bards of this college tend to be loud, in both voice and appearance. The image of the punk rocker with a colorful mohawk and glowing LED tattoos is iconic, but the seed of rebellion can take root in even the most forgettable of office workers.

This force of personality yearns to crack the pillars of civilization and cause everything to come crumbling down, but their motivation for doing so is their own.

Bonus Proficiencies

When you join the College of Anarchy at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with martial firearms. You can use a firearm as a spellcasting focus for your bard spells.

Superstar

At 3rd level, you can use the Bardic Inspiration feature on any creature who you can hear or see, and who can hear or see you, regardless of range. This includes creatures that can hear or see you through digital means, such as a camera or smartphone.

Rebellious Shout

At 3rd level, you learn how to channel your powerful free will into your voice.

As a bonus action, you can expend one use of your Bardic Inspiration on a creature you can see or who can hear you other than yourself within 60 feet of you to use one of the following Rebellious Shout options of your choice. If the creature is unwilling, it can make a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC. On a successful save, the creature is not moved and suffers no effects.

Rise Up. The creature regains hit points equal to the number you roll on the Bardic Inspiration die plus your Charisma modifier and is pulled up to 10 feet closer to you. If the creature is prone, it can use its reaction to stand up. A creature cannot be the target of this ability again until they have finished a short or long rest.

Fuck Off. The creature takes thunder damage equal to the number you roll on the Bardic Inspiration die plus your Charisma modifier. If the creature is Large or smaller, it is pushed up to 10 feet away from you.

Get Lost. The creature is frightened until the end of your next turn and is deafened for 1 minute.

Revolution

At 6th level, you can speak up when you see someone being oppressed and harden their resolve. As a reaction, when a creature within 30 feet of you makes a saving throw against being frightened or charmed, you can start a performance per the Countercharm feature. The creature gains advantage on the saving throw as part of the performance.

Cleric: Commerce Domain

The gods of commerce oversee the trade of goods and services. These deities understand that business lubricates the gears of society and keeps everything running smoothly. Some gods see commerce as a force which must be regulated so that all may benefit from fair trade. Other gods see it as a competition, where the accrual of wealth and power are the goal. In the cutthroat world of megacorporations and massive economic inequality, the latter deities often hold greater sway.

Clerics of these gods put great stock in the open market and the true value of all things. A cleric’s station may range from the lowly accountant with dreams of starting their own business, to a ruthless mid-level executive looking to climb the ranks into the executive boardroom, or perhaps they're a rogue economist trying to bring balance to the commercial world.

Potent Spellcasting

Starting at 8th level, you add your Wisdom modifier to the damage you deal with any cleric cantrip.

Free Trade

At 17th level, you can liquidate your vast supply of divine energy when you need it most. Once per turn, when you cast a spell on your turn that deals damage, you can expend one spell slot to deal additional damage to one target of the spell. The extra damage is 1d8 for a 1st-level spell slot, plus 1d8 for each spell level higher than the 1st, to a maximum of 4d8.

Alternatively, once per turn, when you cast a spell on your turn that restores hit points, you can expend one spell slot to restore additional hit points to one target of the spell. The creature regains an extra 1d8 hit points for a 1st-level spell slot, plus 1d8 for each spell level higher than the 1st, to a maximum of 4d8.

Druid: Circle of Transformation

Though the forests have been replaced by cities, the trees replaced by glittering steel spires, and the wayward paths replaced by neon-stained streets, some things never change. The land may look different, but those who look for a heart in the concrete jungle will find it beating to the rhythm of a combustion engine. Through the streets flows the blood of the city, a ceaseless tide of machines and life.

Where lovers of nature would give up and abandon these lands for greener pastures, others would appreciate the

Ticker: You're just sending me lunatics! This last guy said nothing, only made motor revving noises with his mouth and braking sounds when he walked around corners!

SlapChop: But did he get the job done?

Ticker: That isn't the point, he got oil all over my carpet!

TheWheelDeal: He was just marking his territory. Or, like, his parking spot.

Ticker: He turned into a motorcycle, honked, tried to ramp over a cliff, and died.

Wiseguy: Hope you bought insurance.

splendor of chrome and grime. The streets and skyscrapers have a will of their own, and a voice for those who will listen. They were paved and built with purpose, and those that would speak for the city shall know the strength in its foundations.

After all, in worlds both natural and artificial, one rule reigns supreme: survival of the fittest. Where clumsy beasts would be out of their element, druids of this circle shall find themselves at home. Where paw and hoof dare not tread, let wheels roll instead.

Metal Beast

When you choose this circle at 2nd level, you gain the ability to use Wild Shape on your turn as a bonus action, rather than as an action, and you gain proficiency with tinker’s tools.

Additionally, while you are transformed by Wild Shape, you can use a bonus action to expend one spell slot to increase your speed by 10 feet per level of the spell slot expended until the end of your current turn.

Fighter: Toxic Avenger

The Toxic Avenger is a creature of polar opposites, depending on the flow of chemicals running through their veins. When the drugs flow freely, the Toxic Avenger can control the chemistry of their own body to overcome any obstacle. However, as their reliance on chemicals grow, eventually they will lose their potency.

When the flow of drugs finally ebbs, the Toxic Avenger undergoes a terrible transformation as the desperate craving sets in. As the urge grows stronger, so do the changes, until the Toxic Avenger might be almost unrecognizable from their chemical-rich persona.

Monk: Way of the
Primal Forces

Monks of the Way of the Primal Forces are in tune with the chaotic forces of nature. The elements that compose the world and bind reality together are powerful tools for any that dare to attempt mastering them.

In an age where civilization has become untethered from the world it resides in, the primal powers seem irrelevant. It can be easy to discard the forces of water, earth, air, and fire from the comfort of an air-conditioned skyscraper, until a natural disaster serves a sharp reminder of one’s own insignificance in the universe.

By weaving together the elements, and shaping them with their will, monks of this tradition can become as unstoppable as the crushing tsunami, the raging earthquake, the swirling tempest, or the blazing wildfire.

Tool Proficiency

Starting at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with tinker’s tools. If you already have this proficiency, you gain proficiency with one other type of artisan's tools of your choice.

Drone Master Magic

At 3rd level, you learn an additional spell when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown in the Drone Master Spells table. The spell counts as a ranger spell for you, but it doesn’t count against the number of ranger spells you know.

Chimera Drone

At 3rd level, you have engineered a robot with synthetic materials, machine parts, and refined oil, then magically infused it with life and sentience. It is friendly to you and your companions, and it obeys your commands. See this creature’s game statistics in the chimera drone stat block. You determine the build and style of the drone and whether it moves on legs, wheels, or treads; your choice has no effect on its game statistics.

In combat, the chimera drone shares your initiative count, but takes its turn immediately after yours. You can also sacrifice one of your attacks when you take the Attack action to command the drone to use its reaction to make an attack instead. If the drone has died within the last hour, you can use your tinker's tools as an action to revive it, provided you are within 5 feet of it and you expend a spell slot of 1st level or higher. The chimera drone returns to life after 1 minute with all its hit points restored.

At the end of a long rest, you can create a new chimera drone if you have your tinker’s tools with you. If you already have a chimera drone from this feature, the first one immediately perishes.

Loadout

By 3rd level, you have developed combat and utility attachments for your drone. Choose two of the following attachments to modify your chimera drone.

• Hacker-Bot. When the drone makes an ability check with electrician’s tools or hacking tools it can add your proficiency bonus to the roll, and the drone gains the benefits of having the hacking tools augment installed. As a bonus action, the drone can launch a built in universal cable up to 30 feet to connect itself to a port it can see.
• Primed Shot. The drone can use its primed shot attack.
• Razor Claws. The drone can use its razor claws attack.
• Serum Shot. You can use your bonus action to cause a creature of your choice within 30 feet of the drone that it can see to regain hit points equal to 1d6 + your Wisdom modifier. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of 1). When you finish a long rest, you regain all expended uses.
• Shock Prod. The drone can use its shock prod attack.

Over the course of a long rest, you can replace your chimera drone’s attachments with two attachments of your choice.

• Primed Shot. A target hit by this attack begins burning for 1 minute, so long as it is not already burning from this attack, and takes 1d6 fire damage at the start of each of its turns.
• Razor Claws. The drone can grapple a creature up to one size larger than it hit by this attack. Until this grapple ends, the chimera drone can’t use its razor claws against another target.
• Serum Shot. Instead of regaining hit points, this ability can end either one disease or one condition for the creature. The condition can be blinded, deafened, paralyzed, poisoned, or stunned.
• Shock Prod. A creature hit by this attack can’t take reactions until the start of its next turn and its speed is reduced by 10 feet.

Additionally, the drone's attacks count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.

Rogue: Saboteur

There are countless situations where sabotage, terrorism, catastrophic failure, and bombings have changed the course of history. A true Saboteur knows that any goal is achievable with enough explosives. If a job has a car that needs stopping, a skyscraper that needs dropping, or a person that needs popping, then look no further.

The real challenge for the Saboteur is knowing when to stop. Some saboteurs let the force multipliers at their fingertips go to their head, becoming a mad bomber. In these cases, self-destruction is inevitable, but at least it’s always one hell of a fireworks show.

Sorcerer: Nuclear

The atom is the building block of the universe. Locked inside is a limitless font of power, waiting to be unleashed. Many who have bathed in the deadly embrace of radiation have crumbled, but some select few of the survivors may find themselves irrevocably altered. A sorcerer tainted by radiation can become a nuclear powerhouse, so long as they can avoid melting down.

Fallout

At 6th level, your magic carries traces of withering radiation. Once per turn, when you cast a spell of 1st-level or higher on your turn, you can cause one creature targeted by the spell to make a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failed save, the target suffers one level of irradiated, to a maximum of level 3.

Additionally, when you cast a spell that deals damage, you can spend 1 sorcery point to change that damage type to fire or radiant.

Ticker: No

SlapChop: ???

Ticker: No, no, NO! She's literally radioactive! You're insane!

SlapChop: Oh, that! Didn't you get my memo about wearing the hazmat suit?

Ticker: You sent her to my office! I have a Geiger counter that's going crazy! I'll have to destroy the chair she sat in.

Ticker: Oh god, the fucking bathroom!

FragOut: yeah she's the worst roommate, especially after spicy food. she could at least remember to turn on the exhaust fan

Warlock: Fandom

A fandom is a capricious force, a collection of people with whom you have a connection. Perhaps you were an entertaining jokester, a serious force of personality, or a hateable asshole. Regardless, you have become the center of attention. If deities gain their power through worship, then you gain yours through viewership.

Whether through ritual or pact, you forged this connection, and now your fate is intertwined with your audience. Of course, fandoms are a fickle force, and are quick to abandon those that fail to fascinate them. So, be a rowdy game streamer, a flirtatious hottie, a righteous reporter, a director of Internet drama.

Be anything, except boring.

 Roll initiative for the swarm, which has its own turns. When you summon it and on each of your turns thereafter until your concentration ends (as if you were concentrating on a spell), you can issue a verbal command to it as a bonus action, telling it what it must do on its next turn. If you issue no command, it spends its turn pursuing and attacking the nearest creature that has damaged it.

If you lose concentration, your control of the swarm ends for the rest of the duration, and the swarm spends its turns pursuing and attacking the nearest creatures to the best of its ability. As an action, you can dismiss the swarm, causing it to disappear. Once you use this feature, you must finish a long rest before you can use it again.

Programs

The programs are presented in alphabetical order.

Assist. When you make a hacking tools check, you can use your reaction to make it with advantage.

Blackout. As a bonus action, you choose a point you can see within 150 feet of you. All electrical light sources within 80 feet of that point cease to function for 1 minute. If a creature is carrying the light source, it can make an Intelligence saving throw. On a successful save, the light source is unaffected.

Bypass. When a trap that you are aware of based on technology or magic is triggered within 60 feet of you, you can use your reaction to disable the trap for 1 minute. A trap, for the purpose of this ability, includes anything that would inflict a sudden or unexpected effect you consider harmful or undesirable. Thus, this ability would disable a security camera, a laser tripwire, or a glyph of warding, but not a camouflaged pitfall or a hunting trap.

Crash. As an action, you cause a creature you are aware of in the same network as you to make an Intelligence saving throw. On a failed save, they are ejected from the network and cannot re-enter it for 24 hours.

Alternatively, as an action, you can target an AI-controlled drone or vehicle you can see within 60 feet of you, forcing the AI to make an Intelligence saving throw. On a failed save, the AI loses control over the drone or vehicle for 24 hours.

Hijack. As a bonus action, you can force a vehicle within 60 feet of you that you can see to make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, at the start of the driver’s next turn the vehicle must move up to its movement speed in a straight line in a direction of your choice. If the vehicle has no driver, it does so on initiative count 0.

Fighting Styles

These additional fighting styles are intended for use with cyberpunk weapons. When any class or subclass chooses a fighting style, the following styles are added to the list of options. The archery fighting style does not affect firearms.

Aetheric Armory

Prerequisite: Pact of the Blade feature

Feats

For those seeking to specialize further and master a certain skill, technique, or art, these additional feats are available when selecting a feat per the rules in the Player’s Handbook.

Cybernetic Addict

Prerequisite: No artificer class levels

You prefer artificial body parts and enhancements over the old junk you were born with.

You can attune to one additional cyberware, provided that it is tier 2 or lower. You can install one additional augment.

You can select this feat multiple times.

Demolitions Expert

You are a master with blast weapons and explosive equipment, gaining the following benefits:

• When you miss an attack with a firearm with the blast property, you can use your reaction to detonate your ammunition in an unoccupied space adjacent to the target, as if you had hit a target in that space with the attack.
• You ignore the reload property on firearms with the blast property which require a bonus action to reload. Firearms with the blast property which require an action to reload can instead be reloaded with a bonus action.
• You add half your proficiency bonus (rounded down) to damage rolls and the DC for saving throws caused by your explosives. When you use an antimagic grenade, you add half your proficiency bonus to the d20 roll to end spells.
• You can throw explosives at twice the normal range.

Paramedic

You’ve been trained to treat injuries and resuscitate flatlining patients, gaining the following benefits:

• Increase your Constitution, Intelligence, or Wisdom score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
• You gain proficiency in the Medicine skill. If you are already proficient in the skill, you add double your proficiency bonus to checks you make with it.
• Over the course of 1 minute, you can spend one use of a healer’s kit to attempt to revive a dead creature that died within the last 10 minutes. At the end of this minute, you must make a DC 20 Wisdom (Medicine) check. On a successful check, the creature returns to life with 1 hit point and its exhaustion level is set to 3.
   This ability can’t return to life a creature that has died of old age, and if the creature is lacking body parts or organs integral for its survival - its head, for instance - the check automatically fails. If this ability check has failed for a dead creature, this feat cannot be used on it again until it has been returned to life in another manner.

Gun Fu Artist

You have studied the art of close-quarters combat and gunfights, gaining the following benefits:

• When you hold firearms in your hands, they are melee weapons that deal 1d6 bludgeoning damage. If the firearm has the light property, it also has the finesse property.
• Being within 5 feet of a hostile creature doesn’t impose disadvantage on your ranged attack rolls.
• You can draw or stow two one-handed weapons when you would normally be able to draw or stow only one.
• If you have the Extra Attack feature, you can use a bonus action to make two attacks with a light weapon instead of one when you engage in two-weapon fighting with either light melee weapons or light firearms.

Dozer: at that point I was Trapped hanging upside down from the helicopter, Firing my Lariat-99F back at the drones on our tail and Punching the Senator's security guard with my other hand

Wildfire: OMG (O_O;)

Dozer: And that's when shit got Real...

Wildfire: what happened??!

Dozer: CYBERNINJAS! and not one but TWO!

Wiseguy: This is a fascinating recital of the plot of Raining Death: Shoot Harder.

Dozer: no, it's all True!

Dozer: the movie was a Documentary about me

Gunslinger

You have trained to wield a gun in each hand, gaining the following benefits:

• You can use two-weapon fighting even when the one handed firearms you are wielding aren’t light.
• You can make a single ranged weapon attack with a one-handed firearm when you use your action to take the Dash action.
• Reloading no longer requires a free hand, and if a firearm can be reloaded with a bonus action, you can reload a firearm you are holding once on your turn (no action required.)
• You can draw or stow two one-handed weapons when you would normally be able to draw or stow only one.

Marauder

You are adept at skirting the edge of the front lines of the battlefield, mixing close-quarters combat and flanking tactics.

• When you use the Attack action and make an attack with a melee weapon that you’re holding in one hand, you can use a bonus action to make an attack with a one-handed ranged weapon in your other hand. Alternatively, when you use the Attack action and make an attack with a ranged weapon you’re holding in one hand, you can use a bonus action to make a melee attack with a one-handed weapon in your other hand.
• When a creature within 10 feet of you that you can see makes an opportunity attack, you can use your reaction to make the attack automatically miss. You must do so before the attack roll.
• You can draw or stow two one-handed weapons when you would normally be able to draw or stow only one.

Marksman

You’re a deadeye with firearms and have studied and mastered military tactical combat techniques:

Trick Shot

You have a knack for fancy shooting and ricocheting your shots, gaining the following benefits:

• When you miss a ranged weapon attack, you can use your reaction to make another ranged weapon attack against a different target within 20 feet of the original target without expending ammunition. The attack is made as though it originated from the original target.

• Your ranged weapon attacks ignore half cover and three-quarters cover.
• When you roll a 1 or a 2 on a damage die for an attack with a ranged weapon that lacks the scatter property, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll, even if the new roll is a 1 or a 2.

Wheelman

You have become supernaturally familiar with vehicles of all shapes and sizes, gaining the following benefits:

• You gain proficiency with all vehicles. While you are driving a non-sentient vehicle, add your proficiency bonus to that vehicle’s ability checks and saving throws.
• When you are driving a non-sentient vehicle and your vehicle is hit with an attack, you can use your reaction to add your proficiency bonus to your vehicle’s AC against that attack, potentially causing it to miss.
• If a non-sentient vehicle you are driving is subjected to an effect that allows it to make a Dexterity save to take only half damage, it takes no damage if it succeeds and only half damage if it fails.
• You can control a vehicle without having a free hand for the vehicle’s controls.

Feature: Claim to Fame

In a world where wanna-be socialites, influencers, and the endless tide of advertisements are constantly vying for attention, you managed to stand out. Choose one to three claims to fame or roll on the table below to define your path to the limelight.

Feature: Corporate Etiquette

You know how to speak with corporate employees, speaking to managers and wage slaves each in a manner befitting their station. You know how to communicate with corporate bureaucrats in an effective manner to get what you desire with minimal delay. When negotiating a transaction with a corporation, you can always at least get a fair market price.

Suggested Characteristics

Executives are cut from different cloth than the average person. Something drives them to perform above and beyond, to excel in the cutthroat world of business. Executives are often untrusting, assuming everyone has their own agenda and hidden motivation. Even if they were never the most dedicated employee, an executive’s outlook on life is doubtlessly affected, or even stained, by their time in a seat of power.

Feature: Freelancer Specialty

For one reason or another, people tend to avoid doing the kind of work that you specialize in. Perhaps they think that it's too dangerous, or too difficult, or maybe they think they're above getting their hands dirty, but that doesn't stop them from hiring an expert to do it instead. Choose your specialization as a freelancer, or roll on the table below.

Feature: Criminal Element

You're familiar with various black markets, able to find potential fixers who can hook you up with jobs. However, it isn't guaranteed that the jobs are good and the clients are trustworthy. You are also familiar with other freelancers, able to identify the names and specialties of any given freelancer with at least a little bit of history in the scene.

Suggested Characteristics

The kind of work a freelancer performs shapes their personality and attitudes. The constant threat of danger, and the illegal and potentially bloody nature of the work, shapes a freelancers mind, or breaks it.

Feature: Scum Sticks Together

When it comes to violent thugs and criminals, you feel right at home. You know the lingo, slang, and signs that lets you speak to the members of street gangs. They will recognize you, and have some amount of respect for you, though enemy gang members may still be hostile. Additionally, you can find someplace to buy a stolen vehicle on short notice.

Punk Rocker

Society is corrupt, people are callous and hateful, and the man is always trying to keep you down. It’s enough to drive a person crazy, except the whole world is already crazy. This broken civilization needs rebels who are willing to stand up and scream at the top of their lungs that something is wrong.

Half the battle is looking the part. Typically, you might wear slick black leather covered in spikes, have flashing LED tattoos all over your body, and wear your bright pink mohawk proudly. Of course, what’s more important is breaking the norms of society and rebelling against the status quo to inspire others. In the heart of every oppressed office drone is the spark of anarchy, just waiting to be kindled.
Skill Proficiencies: Intimidation, Performance
Tool Proficiencies: One type of musical instrument
Languages: One of your choice
Equipment: A set of common or fine clothes, a musical instrument (one of your choice), a symbol of your punkness (mirrorshades, anarchy earrings, spiked gloves), and a credit stick with 1,500₵.

Scientist

As a scientist, you are responsible for pursuing knowledge, testing hypotheses, and advancing civilization one step at a time. While the various fields of science have come far in recent times, for every new discovery, and for every new piece of evidence that supports a theory, additional questions arise. For the modern scientist, this creates an endless supply of possibilities.

Feature: Cultish Connoisseur

You can recognize and identify the signs of mystical cults, cabals, orders, and other shadowy groups and their members. You’re familiar with several places of power and ritual sites where the border between worlds wears thin. You can always find a dealer of spell components and other arcane goods.

Suggested Characteristics

The demeanor and fashion sense of a street shaman are far more important for their purposes than actually having access to otherworldly powers. No one will believe a guy secretly harbors a host of haunting spirits when he dresses and talks like he works part-time at a gas station. Establishing an air of mystery is crucial.

Technology Skill

Technology is a skill that any character can choose to replace one of their other skill proficiencies during character creation. Your Intelligence (Technology) check measures your knowledge of information systems, machines, networks, or any other aspect of modern technology.

Firearms

Each firearm serves a purpose and sends its own message. A small pistol doesn’t draw too much attention, but also says you’re not afraid to defend yourself. On the other hand, a giant gatling gun sends a more blunt message: fuck off. And, of course, the flamethrower says that you’re fun at parties and barbecues.

Choosing the correct weapon for a given situation is critical for survival. If you’re not sure how to dress for the occasion, just bring a whole armory and decide when you get there.

Firearm Properties

Firearms have special properties that make them distinct from each other and other types of weaponry.

Ammunition. You can use a weapon that has the ammunition property to make a ranged attack only if you have ammunition to fire from the weapon. Each time you attack with the weapon, you expend one piece of ammunition. Firearms require the type of ammunition listed in the Ammo column. The ammunition of a firearm is destroyed upon use.

Automatic. When you make a weapon attack on your turn with an automatic weapon, you can choose to make two attacks with the weapon instead. These attacks are made with disadvantage, and advantage cannot affect the roll. When making use of the automatic property, you can only attack at half of the normal range of the weapon. When a creature that is Medium size or smaller uses the automatic weapon property on a weapon, melee attacks have advantage against them until the start of their next turn. You can’t use this property in the same turn you’ve used the burst-fire weapon property. You can make no more than four additional attacks in this manner in a single turn.

Blast. When an attack with a blast weapon hits a target, it explodes in a 10-foot radius at a point of your choosing within the target’s space. Targets in this radius who were not the original target receive half as much damage from the weapon’s damage roll. The evasion feature (and similar features) and full cover between the original and secondary target negate this secondary damage. Attacks made with a blast weapon against objects, structures, vehicles, and creatures made out of inorganic material have advantage.

Burst-Fire. When you take the Attack action with a burst-fire weapon, you gain an extra attack with the weapon. This extra attack is made with disadvantage, and advantage cannot affect the roll. You can only make this extra attack once per turn, and you can’t use this property in the same turn you’ve used the automatic weapon property.

Flamethrower. A target hit by an attack with the flamethrower begins burning (see Appendix A: Conditions) for 1 minute so long as it is not already burning from a flamethrower attack, and takes 1d6 fire damage at the start of each of its turns.

Marine. Attacks made with a marine weapon do not have disadvantage against targets that are underwater, or if the attack is made by a creature that is underwater. They also do not automatically miss a target beyond the weapon's normal range.

Ammunition

Special Ammunition

Special ammunition has additional effects. Each type of special ammunition has an adjusted price. If a price is listed at 10x the price, that means that a bullet costs ten times the normal price of a bullet. There are limits on what ammunition can be modified, as shown in the Special Ammunition table. Flamethrower fuel can only have the incendiary special ammo type.

Multiple modifications can be made to the same ammunition. For example, a bullet can be both silvered and incendiary. To get the final price, first add together the multiplication modifiers, multiply the base ammunition price by the result, then add the static price modifiers. For example, an arcane gel bullet is 3 x 12 = 36₵. A silvered incendiary shell is 10 x 3 = 30, 30 + 2,000 = 2,030₵.

Prior to firing special ammunition, you must load it into the weapon. You can also load a weapon with multiple types of ammunition in sequence.

Siegetech

This weapon emits hypersonic sound waves that can shatter objects it strikes. Attacks made with this weapon against objects and vehicles have advantage.

Silvered

This weapon gains the silvered property.

Streamlined

Due to its sleek and hydrodynamic design, this weapon no longer causes the wielder to have disadvantage in underwater combat.

Shock Battery

When a creature is hit with this weapon, instead of dealing damage, the wielder can choose to cause the target not to be able to take reactions until the start of its next turn.

Substance Applicator

Pores in this weapon allow substances to leak from its sharp edges. Over the course of a short or long rest, you can store a liquid substance in this weapon. As a bonus action, you can apply the substance to this weapon for 1 minute. The next attack that hits a creature will subject the creature to the substance.

Light Armor

Sometimes, it takes a more subtle touch, and light armors are low-impact enough to make it unclear to the unwary eye whether you’re actually wearing armor at all.

Steelcloth. This discrete armor is made of a strong, durable fabric. While it may not be able to stop a bullet or knife directly, it does protect the wearer from grazes and indirect hits. It appears like a normal set of clothes, such as a business suit or dress.

Combat Suit. This form-fitting armor covers the body in thin, flexible material that holds up decently against small arms fire, but provides little protection against blunt force trauma. It fits snugly enough that other clothes can be worn over it, making it difficult to detect.

Medium Armor

Practical, yet protective. Medium armor retains some of the mobility of light armor, but with fewer chances for fatal mishaps. This armor tends to consist of ballistic fabric and strategically located metal plates to provide solid overall defense.

Street Armor. A motley mix of scavenged junk parts riveted together into a crude form of armor. Each set of street armor is unique. The usual suspects include bent hubcaps, stitched tire rubber, molded sheet plastic, and fashionable spikes and bolts.

Combat Vest. Heavy ballistic fabric is meshed together into many layers that form a soft, but durable vest that protects the torso and precious organs.

Armored Jacket. This long jacket is composed entirely of dense layers of ballistic material. Strategic areas around the body are additionally protected by strong metallic plate inserts.

Plated Vest. A combat vest with much of its fabric layers replaced with stab-proof ballistic metal plates that form a solid barrier.

Armored Trench Coat. Similar to the armored jacket, but this trench coat falls well below the knees and has a long collar to protect the neck.

Heavy Armor

There’s a time for subtlety, a time for compromises, and then there are times you want to go into a firefight with a healthy margin of metal between you and certain death. Heavy armor protects the wearer from head to toe in varying levels of thick ballistic metal and ceramic plating. A fully armored, unstoppable dreadnought hauling heavy weaponry is a terror on the battlefield.

Security Armor. Thick pads of ballistic fabric cover the body from neck to foot while metal plate inserts protect the torso, neck, and shoulders. This armor is easily mass-produced, making it the body armor of choice for outfitting security guards and cops.

Shock Armor. Designed for riot police when they need to put down violent, armed uprisings, this armor has exposed metal plates that, in addition to covering the torso, also protect the arms and legs of the wearer. Often paired with a helmet with a tempered glass or slotted metal face plate.

Heavy Tactical Suit. This sleek military-style heavy armor has thick ballistic plates over critical areas and joints, and thinner, ceramic plates woven together with ballistic fabric to cover the limbs. A thick helmet covers the head with plasteel goggles inset to allow for vision.

Battle Armor. Bearers of this full suit of heavy-duty ballistic shielding look like a walking tank. The thick helmet, metal coated boots, and overlapping alloy plates ensure the wearer is protected from attacks from any angle. The suit’s joints use heavy rubber gaskets, and its interior is padded to avoid chafing.

Armor Modifications

Mil-Spec

The firearms carried by elite security guards or military forces are well-oiled machines, reliably operating under the harsh conditions of war or ‘aggressive negotiation’. Often, these weapons will be composed of sophisticated superalloys, their frames machine built and lab-tested for imperfections, and their designs sleek and balanced for superior handling, aim, and protection.

Bleeding Edge

At the utmost heights of technology and weapons engineering, high-tech equipment is developed to be carried by special operations forces and executive-level assassins, or to protect the most powerful and influential. They may

enhance their functionality with the use of advanced magnetic fields, thermodynamic manipulation, or even elements of magic in their design. In the cyberpunk world, these weapons and armor exist on the bleeding edge of murder and mayhem, and their acquisition is reserved for the wealthy elite.

Enchanting Advanced Equipment

While the advanced armor and weapons are nonmagical, due to their advanced technological design, they cannot be affected by any ability or spell that requires a nonmagical armor or weapon, such as the magic weapon spell or the artificer's infusions.

DM Note

For firearm accessories that allow a weapon to function as another weapon, such as the bayonet or under-barrel shotgun, these alternative methods of using the weapon also gain the benefit of high quality equipment.

For purchasing or creating accessories or modifications that cost a fraction of the weapon or armor's price for high quality equipment, it is up to the DM whether to use the equipment's base price, or the price of the high quality equipment.

High Quality Equipment

Street Sam: You didn't tell us the fucking the corp security would be their crack-team of elites. We all almost died!

SlapChop: It was a surprise to me, too!

Street Sam: I crossed blades with one for all of 3 seconds, his sword looked like one of those goddamn 1,000 degree knife videos. It made the air scream as it moved, and cut through my sword like it was butter.

SlapChop: I get it, you're scared, but nobody could've known there'd be a VIP visiting the site.

Street Sam: Scared? I'm pissed off! It's your fucking job to know this shit!

Surgery Fee

Razor blades are implanted into your hands that extend from under your fingernails, from along the edge of hand, or from between your knuckles. They allow for climbing and cutting with equal ease. At higher tiers, the claws are further enhanced with more powerful magic and your body has been adjusted to produce poison for the blades.

Tier 1. Unless you have these weapons drawn, they are concealed. You can draw or stow one or both sets of claws at any time on your turn (no action required). You have proficiency with your claws, and they have the finesse, light, and silvered properties, and can be used for two-weapon fighting if both hands are otherwise empty. They deal 1d8 slashing damage. When you roll a 20 for the d20 on your attack roll with these claws, you can make one additional melee weapon attack against the target.

While you have both claws drawn, you can use them for two-weapon fighting, and you gain a climbing speed of 20 feet. If you fall, and at any point during the fall you are within 5 feet of a solid wall, you can use your reaction to stop falling and catch onto wall's surface.

Tier 2. Previous tier applies. The claws are enhanced with magic reinforced steel, and count as magical weapons with +1 to attack and damage rolls.

Tier 3. Previous tiers apply, except the claws are magical weapons with +2 to attack and damage rolls. The weapon has 5 charges. When you hit a creature with the claws, you can expend one charge to deal 2d6 poison damage to the creature. The claws regain 1d4 + 1 expended charges at the end of a long rest.

Tier 4. Previous tiers apply, except the claws are magical weapons with +3 to attack and damage rolls, and you can expend one charge to deal 4d6 poison damage to the creature instead of 2d6.

A small arcane battery is installed into your body, with synthetic ley lines that trace their way down your arms to your hands. The battery is charged by soaking in ambient magic, and you can discharge the battery to cause elemental havoc. At higher tiers, this cyberware stores progressively more and more magic, and the emitters are capable of unleashing catastrophic forces.

When this cyberware is installed, choose one of the following damage types and corresponding saving throws when you have this cyberware installed.

Acid. The saving throw for this damage type is Dexterity. Targets that fail a saving throw caused by this cyberware grant advantage to the first attack made against them before the end of your next turn.

Cold. The saving throw for this damage type is Constitution. Targets that fail a saving throw caused by this cyberware have their movement speed halved until the end of your next turn.

Fire. The saving throw for this damage type is Dexterity. Targets that fail a saving throw caused by this cyberware begin burning for 1 minute, and take 1d6 fire damage at the start of each of its turns.

Lightning. The saving throw for this damage type is Dexterity. Targets that fail a saving throw caused by this cyberware can’t take reactions until the start of its next turn.

 Thunder. The saving throw for this damage type is Constitution. Vehicles and creatures made out of inorganic material have disadvantage on saving throws caused by this cyberware.

As an action, you can use a free hand to launch a burst in one the following patterns: in a cone, in a 5-foot wide line, or in a sphere at a point you can see within 120 feet of you. Each target in the area must succeed on a saving throw based on the damage type. On a successful save, they receive half damage.

The tier of this cyberware determines the amount of damage it deals, its saving throw DC, how many charges it has, and how many charges it regains at dawn. It also determines the maximum size of the burst you can create, with each larger burst size requiring additional charges expended. For example, with a Tier 2 elemental emitter, you can expend 1 charge to create a 30-foot line, or 2 charges to create a 60-foot line.

You have a heavily mutated organ implanted into your torso. This organ is loaded with highly dangerous radioactive chemicals that can be released to the rest of your body, causing sudden and drastic changes.

As a bonus action, you can gain 1 level of irradiation and become mutated for 1 minute. You can’t become mutated again until you finish a short or long rest. While mutated, you can’t cast spells or concentrate on them, and you gain the following benefits:

• You increase your size by one category. If your armor and equipment does not fit your new size, it is cast off or destroyed (your choice).
• You gain temporary hit points equal to twice your level.
• Your Strength score increases to 25.
• Your movement speed is increased by 15 feet, and your jump distance is tripled.
• You ignore the effects of the irradiated condition.

While mutated, you can use a bonus action to gain a level of irradiated. Your unarmed strikes deal damage equal to 2d8 + your Strength modifier. When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can make a number of attacks equal to 1 + your irradiated level. While mutated, you ignore features, like Extra Attack, which give you more attacks.

While you have this cyberware installed, you reduce your current level of irradiated by 1 every 6 hours. You have advantage on saving throws against effects which would irradiate you.

Hologram Projector

Tier 2

This cyberware involves getting numerous hologram projectors and directional speakers installed into your body. When you activate them, you can project images around yourself or the nearby environment.

The projector creates holograms that mimic spells of the illusion school. While the effects are similar to magic, and may require your concentration, they are not magical, and are unaffected by spells such as counterspell or dispel magic. If you lose sight of a hologram you have created, the hologram ends.

For the purpose of these holograms, your spell save DC is 15.

This cyberware has 10 charges. You can use an action to expend some of its charges to mimic one of the following spells: blur (2 charges), disguise self (1 charge), major image (3 charges, sounds and images only), mirror image (2 charges), silent image (1 charge).

If you have an arm, leg, eye, or ear removed, you can use it to mimic the programmed illusion spell by setting it down within 120 feet of the target. So long as the limb isn’t moved out of range or sight of the target, the hologram will act according to the spell, except that it has a duration of 48 hours.

The hologram projector regains 1d8 + 2 charges when you finish a long rest. If you expend the last charge, roll a d20. On a 1, your holograms malfunction, and your appearance changes to a form of the DM’s choosing until you finish a long rest.

Hydraulic Jacks

Tier 1, 2, or 3

Your leg muscles and tendons are replaced with machines powered by hydraulics which can adjust to swift movements and sudden falls. At tier 2, your hydraulic legs are weaponized pistons that can transmit tremendous amounts of kinetic energy. At tier 3, automatically adjusting spikes and grips assure that you can move cross any surface at any angle.

NOIR: "Rose, please, I don't understand. What are you trying to say?" Johnny begged.

NOIR: "You have to let me go, Johnny Cool, we can't keep doing this," Rose said sadly. She turned to leave.

NOIR: "No, wait-" Johnny lunged forward, but his hand passed right through her shoulder. He'd been talking to Rose's hologram for 10 years since she'd been murdered. The End.

Wildfire: oh god, I got shivers (O_O;)

Street Sam: But who was the hooded cyborg?!?

NOIR: You'll have to wait for the sequel, Static Memory: Dead Channel, out on digital storefronts soon. Please support it.

Immune System Booster

Tier 1

Jet Boosters

Tier 2

Neural Burst

Tier 4

Your nervous system is replaced with a synthetic cable array based on fiber optics. You have the ability to increase your perception and movement to an astonishingly fast speed for a short period of time. While you feel like you are moving and acting normally, everything else seems to be moving through molasses. The burden this puts on the body is crippling.

You can gain the effects of this cyberware as a reaction at any time. Using this as a reaction to an attack against you or a saving throw you make allows you to negate the trigger’s damage and effects. Additionally, when you use this reaction, you instantly gain a turn, potentially in the middle of another creature’s turn, during which you have advantage on attacks, other creatures have disadvantage on saving throws against effects caused by you, and other creatures cannot use their reactions. You suffer one point of exhaustion at the end of this extra turn.

Once you use this cyberware, you must finish a short or long rest before you can do it again.

Overdrive Engine

Tier 2 or 3

You install a miniature jet turbine inside your body allowing you to move with extreme speed. Initial prototypes had the unfortunate side effect of burning the user from the inside out. At tier 3, researchers have successfully solved the overheating issue.

Tier 2. On your turn, you can gain an additional action, suffering 3d8 fire damage at the end of your turn. This damage cannot be reduced, except by expending up to 3 Hit Dice, removing 1d8 from the roll for each Hit Dice spent. You cannot use this cyberware on the same turn you use Action Surge. Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again.

Tier 3. On your turn you can gain an additional action. You cannot use this cyberware on the same turn you use Action Surge. Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again.

Plasma Projector

Tier 4

You install a tiny arcane portal in an arm that, when triggered, opens a gateway between the projector and the sun, causing pressurized plasma to pour forth in a brilliant shaped blast.

The emitter has 10 charges. As an action, you can use a free hand to expend 1 to 3 charges and create a burst in one the following patterns: in a cone, in a line, or in a radius at a point you can see within 300 feet of you. The size of the burst depends on the amount of charges expended.

Plasma Projector Area Size

Area Type	1 Charge	2 Charges	3 Charges
Cone	30 ft.	60 ft.	90 ft.
Line	60 ft.	120 ft.	240 ft.
Radius	20 ft.	30 ft.	40 ft.

Street Sam: You're telling me you can sheathe my blade inside me?

Valkree: If you want to call it that.

Street Sam: But you're NOT trying to kill me?

Valkree: No. Look, I can install your sword into your arm so it's undetectable and always available.

Street Sam: So, in a way... you can make me one with my blade.

Valkree: I would feel a lot more comfortable if you didn't put it like that.

Street Sam: At last, I can finally make old alley-sensei proud.

You have two additional arms surgically attached to your body and linked to your nervous system. The arms can appear similar to your normal arms, as robotic limbs, or anywhere in between.

The arms are capable of everything that your normal arms can do, including holding equipment, attacking with weapons, donning a shield, opening doors, and other activities. They can also leave your hands free when performing certain activities, such as climbing, driving, or grappling.

The arms also allow you to interact with up to two objects on your turn without requiring your action. For example, if you draw a weapon with your regular arms, you can still use your proto arms to draw another weapon, open a door, or similar activity.

Your internal chemistry is designed to enchant others with pheromones you can release from your skin. In emergencies, you can exude a cloud of pheromones that will leave those around you in a daze.

As an action, you can target one non-hostile humanoid of your choice within 5 feet of you with your pheromones, forcing it to make a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw. It must breathe air to be affected. If it fails the saving throw, it is charmed by you for one hour or until you or your companions do anything harmful to it. The charmed creature regards you as a friendly acquaintance.

If a creature's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to your pheromones for the next 24 hours. If the save succeeds by 5 or more, the creature is aware that you attempted to charm it.

You can use this ability a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus. You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

As an action, each creature within 10 feet of you must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or be incapacitated until the end of your next turn. A creature must breathe air to be affected. You can’t use this ability again until you finish a short or long rest.

Vehicle Rules

Vehicles are similar to mounts in the manner they are utilized, with a few key differences. The primary differences are the means with which they move and act. Vehicles are not independent, they do not roll initiative, and they have no actions of their own. A vehicle requires a driver in order to function.

Free Hands for Vehicles

To control the vehicle, the driver must have at least one free hand for the vehicle’s controls, and be close enough to touch them. If the driver removes both hands from the controls, or takes an action that requires both hands, they cannot control the vehicle until the end of their turn.

Attacking with Vehicles

When a vehicle rolls for a melee attack, you add the vehicle's Strength modifier and the vehicle's proficiency bonus to the roll

When a vehicle rolls for a ranged attack, you can add the driver's Dexterity and the driver's proficiency bonus to the roll.

Alternatively, the driver can use the vehicle's internal targeting systems for ranged attacks. When doing so, you add the vehicle's Constitution modifier and the vehicle's proficiency bonus to the roll.

A vehicle being within 5 feet of a hostile creature doesn’t impose disadvantage on a vehicle’s ranged attack rolls.

Vehicle Opportunity Attacks

If a vehicle has a melee weapon attack, it can make opportunity attacks if the driver grants it their reaction.

A vehicle’s movement provokes opportunity attacks and the attacker can target the vehicle or a creature riding it so long as they are in range.

Conditions and Vehicles

If the driver has a condition or effect that would affect their attack rolls, it affects the vehicle’s attack rolls as well. If a vehicle would make a saving throw at the start or end of its turn, it does so at the end of the driver’s turn. If the vehicle has no driver, it does so on initiative count 0.

When a vehicle would be knocked prone, it instead has the flipped condition (see Appendix A: Conditions) unless it has a trait that says otherwise.

Crashing Damage

When a vehicle crashes into a target, roll 1d4 for every 10 feet the vehicle moved in a straight line before the crash. If the vehicle and its target are equal in size, apply the result as bludgeoning damage to both the vehicle and the target. When a vehicle collides with a target in a different size category, the larger of the two takes half of the damage rolled, or zero damage if it is two size categories larger. The smaller target takes the total damage rolled.

Riders inside a vehicle involved with a crash take half of the damage dealt to the vehicle unless the vehicle is larger than the other target involved in the crash.

Damage from falling is treated in a similar manner, with riders taking half of the damage from the fall.

Crashing and Movement

If a vehicle crashes into a target whose size is equal or larger to the vehicle, the vehicle stops, otherwise the target is pushed to the nearest empty space outside the vehicle’s path. For crashes into walls, buildings, and other immobile objects, the DM may choose the relative size of the target, and whether the vehicle stops or the target is destroyed.

Seat Belts

Safety first. All vehicles have seat belts installed. As a bonus action, a creature can equip or remove a seat belt on themselves or a willing creature within 5 feet. A creature

wearing a seatbelt has resistance to damage caused by crashing, can’t move, and cannot be pushed or pulled by any effect. A seat belt has 5 hit points.

Sentient Vehicles

Some vehicles may be sentient, or may, through magic or technology, gain sentience. This may occur when the vehicle is summoned with a spell, has an artificial intelligence installed, or if it simply exists as a fey, celestial, fiend, or elemental creature. A sentient vehicle counts as both a creature and a vehicle for spells and other effects, and its damage and condition immunities may change.

A sentient vehicle must be willing in order for a driver to control it. Otherwise, it acts as its own driver, and is proficient with driving itself. A sentient vehicle can use any action, except the Dash, Dodge, and Use an Object actions.

Sentient vehicles often require their own fuel, but otherwise do not need to eat, drink, breathe, or sleep.

Sentient vehicles are explored more thoroughly in Appendix B.

Jumping From a Moving Vehicle

The driver can choose to have the vehicle continue its movement in a straight line immediately before jumping from the vehicle. To jump from a vehicle to a solid surface, a creature makes a DC 13 Dexterity (Acrobatics) check. On a failed save, the creature falls prone and takes 1d4 bludgeoning damage for every 10 feet the vehicle will move in a straight line. On a successful check, the creature does not fall prone and takes no damage.

Off-Roading

Any land driving that does not occur on pavement, concrete, and similar materials. Natural terrain, such as dirt, grass, or sand, may be difficult terrain for vehicles. The DM might decide that certain terrain is impassable for a vehicle. Vehicles without a swimming speed cannot swim at all, and will usually sink.

Air Vehicles

Air vehicles may have requirements for performing takeoff, flight, and landing. The specifics are listed in the vehicle’s statistics. For example, small jets must travel a minimum distance before they gain a flying speed, usually by using a runway, and must use at least half their movement speed in a straight line each turn or fall.

Repair

If you have proficiency with tinker’s tools, as well as the tools and supplies for the job, you can repair a damaged vehicle. For every hour you spend working on the vehicle, the vehicle regains 2d4 hit points plus the vehicle’s Constitution modifier (minimum 1). Alternatively, you can pay a mechanic to repair it.

Utilities

Most vehicles also have headlights or directional lamps that cast bright light in a 100-foot cone and dim light for an additional 100 feet. They also typically have other utilities like audio systems, GPS, heat, air conditioning, and ports for smartphone connection and maintenance. Other utilities may be available, though they may require additional cost and installation.

Spells

Since vehicles are composed of many complicated objects, they are affected differently by magic than normal objects. Spells like Disintegrate will cause damage, but not instantly destroy them. Spells like Animate Objects fail automatically.

Grappling

Vehicles count as creatures for the purposes of grappling, though they cannot attempt to grapple unless they have special equipment that allows them to do so.
