It had a very interesting concept of turning any monster into a puppet, and my edgy self from that time loved it, but I never had a chance to use it. However, I always had a special fondness for it. Finally, in 2018, I started running a game for some of my friends and also began creating my own homebrews. They helped me turn this class, which I liked so much, into something more viable to play, but it still had many problems. I always wanted to make it work, so fast forward 6 years to the present, when a friend of mine with many years of experience running RPGs helped me turn all the ideas I had into a playable class, the one presented here. It took 8 years, and many people helped me along the way, so I wanted to thank a few people who were very important during this time: - DM André Campos, who spent many hours with me helping to turn my ideas into something viable and fun to play; - Domingão, who helped me at various moments to keep things on track and showed me where and how I was wrong; - kingstarman, the one who inspires me in all my homebrews. Thank you all for helping me make better and more fun homebrews every day. \pagebreakNum # Puppeteer <div class='classTable wide'> ##### The Puppeteer | Level | Proficiency Bonus | Features |Cantrips Know| 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th | 5th | |:---:|:---:|:---|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:| | 1st | +2 | Puppet Maker, Puppet Dance | — | — | — | — | — | — | | 2nd | +2 | Spell Casting, Toy Chest | 2 | 2 | — | — | — | — | | 3rd | +2 | Puppeteer Signature, Puppetry Alchemy | 3 | 3 | — | — | — | — | | 4th | +2 | Ability Score Improvement | 3 | 3 | — | — | — | — | | 5th | +3 | ─ | 4 | 4 | 2 | — | — | — | | 6th | +3 | Puppeteer Signature Feature | 4 | 4 | 2 | — | — | — | | 7th | +3 | ─ | 4 | 4 | 3 | — | — | — | | 8th | +3 | Ability Score Improvement | 4 | 4 | 3 | — | — | — | | 9th | +4 | Puppeteer Signature Feature | 4 | 4 | 3 | 2 | — | — | | 10th | +4 | ─ | 4 | 4 | 3 | 2 | — | — | | 11th | +4 | ─ | 4 | 4 | 3 | 3 | — | — | | 12th | +4 | Puppet Possession, Ability Score Improvement | 4 | 4 | 3 | 3 | — | — | | 13th | +5 | ─ | 4 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 1 | — | | 14th | +5 | Dying Effigy | 4 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 1 | — | | 15th | +5 | Puppeteer Signature Feature, Turn Puppet, Lost Time | 4 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 2 | — | | 16th | +5 | Ability Score Improvement | 4 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 2 | — | | 17th | +6 | ─ | 4 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 1 | | 18th | +6 | Puppeteer Mastery | 4 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 1 | | 19th | +6 | Ability Score Improvement | 4 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 2 | | 20th | +6 | Puppet Fusion | 4 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 2 | </div> ### Puppeteer Lore Puppeteers are people who've discovered ways to make anything into a puppet, whether it's a corpse, living being, inanimate object, elemental, or even the smallest of pebbles around them. They enjoy making things into puppets then using them for their daily lives or adventures. Most puppeteers distance themselves from others, instead preferring the company of their puppets. Very few have seen puppeteers, most being recluses who prefer to let their puppets do the work for them. The few that have lived to see a puppeteer do their best not to anger them, lest they risk becoming a puppet themselves. Puppeteers don't carry their puppets around with them but instead store them in a small pocket rift dimension that keeps them neat and ready for work at a moment's notice! The magic of puppeteers is long forgotten, and the many that have learned to practice it do so with limited power and range. \columnbreak ### Creating a Puppeteer ##### Quick Build You can make a Puppeteer quickly by following these suggestions. First, Charisma should be your highest ability score, followed by Constitution. Second, choose the Player background. Third, choose Your puppet (must be a basic creature like, armor, and weapon choice. ## Class Features As a Puppeteer, you gain the following class features #### Hit Points ___ - **Hit Dice:** 1d8 per Puppeteer level - **Hit Points at 1st Level:** 1d8 + Constitution modifier - **Hit Points at Higher Levels:** 1d8 (or 5) + Constitution modifier per Puppeteer level after 1st #### Proficiencies ___ - **Armor:** Light armor, Medium armor - **Weapons:** Simple weapons, Rapiers, Scimitars, Shortswords and Whips - **Tools:** one type of artisan's tools of your choice \pagebreakNum ___ - **Saving Throws:** Charisma, Dexterity - **Skills:** Choose two from Arcana, Deception, History, Insight, Medicine, Perception, Performance and Sleight of Hand #### Equipment You start with the following equipment, in addition to the equipment granted by your background: - *(a)* A weapon with the Finesse property or *(b)* any simple melee weapon or *(c)* a light crossbow and 20 bolts - *(a)* Studded Leather armor or *(b)* Scale Mail - *(a)* A explorer's Pack or *(b)* an entertainer's Pack and one type of artisan's tools of your choice - A Necromancer's Journal to Puppet Crafting - A medium size Wood Doll > ###### Your Necromancer's Journal to Puppet Crafting >Your necromancer's journal to puppet crafting (also refered as *journal* in this class) have a collection of notes of the creature's bodies you have studied reflecting the reseachers you have made in the arcane art of puppet making. > >**Adding notes Into the Journal:** When you find a body of a creature that died within 1 week you can dissect the body and add 1 note of that creature type (aberration, beast, celestial, construct, dragon, elemental, fey, fiend, giant, humanoid, monstrosity, ooze, plant and undead) to your journal. You can't have more notes of a creature type in your journal than your level in this class. > >Dissecting a creature involves a process of making a precise map and detailed notes of the organs and anatomy of the creature, deciphering the secrets of the body your are studying. This permanently destroys the body. > >This process takes 1 hour of continuous work on a medium creature and an additional two hours per size category above, and half as much time per size below. Wich can be done during a short or long rest. Once you have spent this time, you can add one note of that creature type to your journal. > > **Replacing the Journal:** You can copy a note from your own journal into another book—for example, if you want to make a backup copy of your journal. This is just like adding a new note into your journal, but faster and easier, since you understand your own notation. You need spend only half of the time you would need for each creature size. For this reason, many puppeters keep backup journals in a safe place. \columnbreak #### Puppet Maker At 1st level you gain the ability to make puppets from objects and Corpses. If you have access to a carpenter's tools, smith's tools, tinker's tools or woodcarver's tools, you can transform any corpse that meets the requirements of your journal, spending the same amount of time in it to transform the corpse into a *corpse puppet*. Objects counts as tiny, weapons and shield as small and armors count as medium, you can also create a puppet of wood or metal, of any size, spending the same time. The amount of material needed to do so is described bellow. You can only work in one puppet at a time. You can do this during a long rest. To see if you succeed in creating a puppet roll a percentile dice: if you roll a number equal to or lower than your puppeteer level you succeed into knitting the body with magic. If you spend the same amount of time reading your notes of that creature type (or constructs in case of objects) on your journal (minimum of 1 hour) before you start you add +1 to this roll for each 5 notes you have in your journal of that creature type. If you fail you add one note of that creature type into your journal and the body is destroyed and cannot be used for making a puppet. Objects are destroyed too but you don't add notes from them. You can spend half the time needed to create a puppet to repair it from any damage, when you finish the repair, the puppet recovers any missing hit points as well as any missing body part. Puppets made of corpses suffer the following changes, it loses any other type they had and become undead, it also loses any damage and condition immunity it had, and gains fire vulnerability in addition to any other vulnerability it had and immunity to poison and psychic damage and immunity to charmed, frightened and poisoned conditions. A corpse becomes a *corpse puppet*, an object become an *object puppet*, and a puppet made of wood becomes *wood puppet*, at 8th level you can use iron to create an *iron puppet*, you can find the stats block of all puppets you can create and their materials at the end of this class. The puppet's attacks count as magical for the purposes of overcoming resistance. #### Puppet Dance Also at 1st level you can control your puppets with a special set of magical strings that are created with the puppet, the strings are 30ft long, immune to any source of damage, and can only be seen if a creature succeeds in a wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC. The length of the strings increase by 15ft when you reach the 3rd level for a total of 45ft., 6th for a total of 60ft., 8th for a total of 75ft. and finally for a total of 90ft. in the 17th in this class. During your turn you can spend you action to command any number of puppets you are controlling, you can control 1 puppet at the 1st level, and 2 at the 6th level, you must have a free hand to create the strings to control a puppet. \pagebreakNum When you spend your action to control your puppets you can also move them with the same action, and can issue the same or different commands to them. If you don't command a puppet in your turn they are considered under the paralyzed condition, if you fall unconscious or are away of your puppet more than the length of your strings, the puppets are also under the prone condition. If you have the the extra attack feature you can make your puppets attack twice instead of one time when you command them to attack. If a puppet has the multiattack feature, it cannot make more attacks than your extra attack feature. #### Spellcasting by 2nd level You have studied the workings of magic, how to channel it through objects, and how to awaken it within them. As a result, you have gained a limited ability to cast spells. ##### Tools Required You cast yours spells using your tools as if you were creating a puppet. You must have a spellcasting focus—specifically some kind of artisan's tool you are proficient with—in hand when you cast any spell with this Spellcasting feature (meaning the spell has an 'M' component when you cast it). You must be proficient with the tool to use it in this way. See chapter 5, "Equipment," in the Player's Handbook for descriptions of these tools. ##### Cantrips (0-Level Spells) At 2nd level, you know two cantrips of your choice from the puppeteer spell list. At higher levels, you learn additional puppeteer cantrips of your choice, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Puppeteer table. When you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of the artificer cantrips you know with another cantrip from the puppeteer spell list. ##### Preparing and Casting Spells The puppeteer table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your puppeteer spells. To cast one of your puppeteer spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest. You prepare the list of puppeteer spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the puppeteer spell list. When you do so, choose a number of puppeteer spells equal to your Charisma modifier + half your puppeteer level, rounded down (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For example, if you are a 5th-level puppeteer, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With a Charisma of 14, your list of prepared spells can include four spells of 1st or 2nd-level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell *cure wounds*, you can cast it using a 1st-level or a 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn't remove it from your list of prepared spells. You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of puppeteer spells requires time spent in prayer and meditation: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list. \columnbreak ##### Spellcasting Ability Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your puppeteer spells. You use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a Puppeteer spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one. Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier ##### Puppteer Spell List <div style='column-count: 2'> **Cantrips (0-Level Spells)** *Acid Splash* *Blade Ward* *Chill Touch* *Create Bonfire* *Dancing Lights* *Fire Bolt* *Friends* *Frostbite* *Gust* *Light* *Lightning Lure* *Mage Hand* *Magic Stone* *Mending* *Mold Earth* *Poison Spray* *Prestidigitation* *Ray of Frost* *Shocking Grasp* *Thunderclap* ___ **1st level** *absorb elements* *armor of agathys* *cause fear* *charm person* *color spray* *command* *cure wounds* *detect magic* *entangle* *false life* *fog cloud* *grase* *magic missile* *shield* *snare* ___ **2nd level** *barkskin* *blindness/deafness* *darkness* *enlarge reduce* *enthrall* *lesser restoration* *scorching ray* *suggestion* *web* ___ **3rd level** *animate dead* *counterspell* *dispel magic* *fear* *fireball* *hypnotic pattern* *life transference* *revivify* *speak with dead* *stinking cloud* *tiny servant* ___ **4th level** *blight* *compulsion* *death ward* *dominate beast* *polymorph* *stoneskin* ___ **5th level** *animate objects* *danse macabre* *dominate person* *geas* *great restoration* *raise dead* </div> \pagebreak #### Toy Chest At 2nd level you can create a special chest to magically store you puppets, the chest has a pocket dimension inside, and it measures 1½ feet in all directions from the outside. You can store a number of puppets up to your proficiency modifier, the chest weighs 15 pounds, regardless of its contents. With one action you can store one puppet into the chest and retrieve another one of your choice, you can do this up to 2 times and regain all uses when you finish a short rest, you can also spend a spell slot of 1st level or higher to change the puppets. You can choose up to 1 puppet to be your favorite, when you retrieve or store that puppet you spend one bonus action rather than one action. Your chest can only store puppets inside. If the chest is destroyed, its contents spill out unharmed in a unoccupied square within 5ft of it. #### Puppeteer Signature At 3rd level you can sign your puppets with a special signature. Each puppeteer signs their puppets with a special signature. This signature represents the signature of their work, while there are no two identical signatures among puppeteers, they share some similarities between them allowing them to be grouped according the puppeteer vision of their own work. Your choice grants you features at 3rd level and again at 6th, 9th, and 15th levels. #### Puppetry Alchemy Also at 3rd level when you use your *Puppet Maker* feature you can, as part of creating a puppet, expend a puppeteer spell slot of 1st level or higher to create wood or iron up to the necessary amount to create the puppet as well any other material that doesn't have a specific cost, the table below details the maximum size of the puppet you can create using a spell slot. If you expend a spell slots this way during a long rest you regain the expanded spell slots only at the end of your next long rest. | Spell Slot | Maximum Puppet Size | |:---:|:-----------:| | 1st | Small | | 2nd | Medium | | 3rd | Large | | 4th | Huge | | 5th | Gargantuan | #### Ability Score Increase 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. You can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature. \columnbreak #### Puppet Possession At 12th level you gain the ability to possess one of your puppets, you can posses it for a number of hours equal to your proficiency modifier, during this time you can move the body of the puppet as if it was yours, you can hear and see by its senses, your actions are limited by the anatomy of your puppet and the actions in its stats block. During this time your original body is considerer unconscious. Once you possess a puppet, you control it. Your game statistics are replaced by the statistics of the puppet, though you retain your alignment and your Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. You retain the benefit of your own class features. If the hit points of your puppet reach 0 while you are possessing it, the possession ends and you awake in your original body, and you take 1 level of exhaustion per hour you were possessing it, if your body dies while you are possessing your puppet, the possession ends and you die. When you reach the time limit or when you spend an action to end the possession early you awake in your body as normal, you do not receive the benefits of a short or long rest, in either case you do not receive an exhaustion point. You can use this feature once per long rest. #### Dying Effigy At 14th level, after taking damage that would reduce your hit points to 0, you can instead use your reaction to sacrifice an existing puppet that you can see that has been created through your *Puppet Maker* feature and drop to 1 hit point instead. The puppet sacrificed is completely destroyed. The puppet can be sacrificed from anywhere on your plane except from your *Toy Chest* or another pocket dimension. After using this ability you must finish a long rest to use it again. #### Turn Puppet At 15th level you can attempt to make living creatures into puppets, you can force a creature you can wee within the range of your string to make a wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC, in a failure the creature is restrained by the strings, and during the creature's turn you can control it as a puppet, your magic isn't strong enough to expose the creature to certain death, if you do so, the effect ends immediately. This effect lasts for 1 minute and the creature can make the saving throw again at the end of their turn ending the effect in a success. Once a creature passes the save, they are immune to the effects for the next 24 hours. You can use this feature once and regain all uses when you finish a long rest. Creatures immune to be charmed are immune to this effect. #### Lost Time At 15th level you can undergo a ritual to become a puppet, you can manipulate your puppets to use your *Puppet Maker* feature in yourself, when the ritual ends you become a puppet, you can no longer age and you can't be aged magically. In addition, you no longer need food, water or sleep to gain the benefits of a long rest, you can spend all 8 hours doing light activity, such as reading your journal and keeping watch. \pagebreakNum #### Puppeteer Mastery At 18th level you can turn any size object or corpse into a puppet in 1d6 hours without further research. #### Puppet Fusion At 20th level, if you are in control of two puppets you have created with your *Puppet Maker* feature and they are within 5 feet of each other, you can use your bonus action to have them combine into a single puppet. Combined puppets are treated as a single puppet, you still require two sets of strings to control it. Its statistics are as follows: - If they are the same size category they grow one, otherwise they keep the size of the bigger puppet. Two gargantuan puppets don't grow. - It has hit points equal to the total of the two puppets hit points. - Each ability score is the better of the two puppets scores. - Its AC is the better of the two puppets ACs. - It has all the special features and actions of the two puppets. - If the puppets have different speeds of the same type it keeps the better of the two puppets. They remain combined for 1 minutes or until you separate them with a bonus action or store them into your *Toy Chest*. When you do so, divide its remaining hit points between the two puppets (up to that puppet's maximum hit points). You can use this feature once between long rests. ## Puppeteer Signatures ### Magical Puppet #### Sigil Carving Starting at 3rd level you can carve magic sigils in your puppets that allows them to cast cantrips, you can carve a sigil in a puppet with 50gp and 1 hour of continuous work per slot level per sigil per puppet.

Additionally if your puppet rolls a natural 20 on an attack roll the movement of that creature hit by that attack becomes 0 until the beginning of the puppet's next turn. #### Safe-Guard When you reach the 9th, when your puppet would fall to 0 hit points you may use your reaction and take damage equivalent to half your current hit points to heal the puppet by the same amount. #### Galatea Beginning at 15th level the puppet's attacks score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20.

You can create twice as many *Fragile Puppets* as you would regular puppets. Each *Fragile Puppet* counts as half a puppet for your puppet maximum. All your *Fragile Puppets* are considered to be your *Favorite Puppet*. When a *Fragile Puppet* is reduced to 0 hit points, it explodes, forcing each creature in a 5ft radius around the puppet to make a dexterity saving throw with a DC equal to your spell saving DC, taking 1d6 piercing and 1d6 bludgeoning damage on a failure or half as much on a success. This damage increases by 1d6 piercing and 1d6 bludgeoning at 5th level and again at 11th level and 17th level. \columnbreak #### Recyle Starting at 6th level once per long rest you may spend 1 minute to bring back a number of *Fragile Puppets* that have exploded within the last 24h back into existence equal to your proficiency bonus.

Grappling a creature larger then one size category above the puppet's still grants advantage to the creature resisting the grapple. \pagebreakNum ## Puppets Puppets have certain material requirements you must have access to all of them during their creation in order to effectively create a puppet, the time to create a puppet is the same as described in your *Puppet Maker* feature. You can create puppets up to medium size, when you reach certain levels in this class you can create puppets of different sizes at the 6th level you can create puppets up to large size, at the 8th level up to huge size and any size at the 17th level.
