Explosive Sweat
Starting at 1st level, you form an explosive substance in your sweat, similar to nitroglycerin, that you can detonate at will. As an action, you may attack a target with a small explosion formed in your hand, dealing 1d6 Fire damage, adding your Dexterity modifier to your attack and damage rolls. The damage of this ability increases at 5th, 10th, 15th, and 20th levels respectively.
Certain features require creatures to make a saving throw. Its DC is the following:
- DC = 8 + your Dexterity modifier + your Proficiency bonus.
If a feature forces you to make a saving throw, its DC is 15.
Charge Gauntlets
At 2nd level, you have finalized the designs for your Charge Gauntlets, which enhance the power of your explosions. You may craft a charge gauntlet for 50 gp and 4 hours of work. The gold represents the materials and components required to tinker with the designs of the gauntlet. At the end of a long rest, your gauntlet gains a charge, which you may expend as an action to cause a large explosion. This explosion forms in a 20 foot cone in front of you, dealing 2d8 to those who fail a Dexterity saving throw to evade your attack. You may have up to two gauntlets at a time, each of which can hold 1 charge.
Catalyst
At 3rd level, you choose a Catalyst. Choose between Powerhouse or Acrobat, both detailed at the end of the class description. Your choice grants you features at 3rd level, and again at 9th, 11th, and 14th levels.
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. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.
Left Hook
At 5th level, you have perfected one of your most useful techniques: The Left Hook. On the first round of combat, you may make your first attack a Left Hook, dealing double your explosive sweat damage. You may not use this move again until combat has finished.
Evasion
At 6th level, your instinctive agility lets you dodge out of the way of certain area effects, such as a blue dragon’s lightning breath or a fireball spell. When you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, and only half damage if you fail.
Blast Rush Turbo
At 7th level, you learn a method of blasting yourself up into the air and achieve a form of pseudo-flight. As an action, you may use your explosions to give you a fly speed of 40 feet until the end of your turn. However, to to land without taking damage you must succeed a Dexterity saving throw. Damage taken is equal to the damage you would have taken if your entire movement was straight down. This can not be done while wearing medium or heavy armor.
Stun Grenade
At 10th level, you gain a more tactical use of your sweat. As an action, you can force a creature within 15 feet to make an Intelligence saving throw or become stunned until the end of their next turn.
Recoiling Charge Blast
At 13th level, you discover a method to replicate your charge blast without the use of your gauntlets. As an action, you may take an action to build up your sweat for the explosion. On your next turn, you may take an action to replicate your charge blast, dealing your version's damage and effects. However, you too are subjected to the effects, taking the damage and penalties of your charge blast.
Howitzer Impact
At 15th level, you acquire the ability form a mass of smoke and fire that you turn into missile. In exchange for your action, bonus action, and movement, you may leap 30 feet into the air and begin to form a massive cloud of smoke and fire. On your next action, you may select an open space within 120 feet where you wish to fire and hurl yourself and the smoke towards that space. At any point in this movement before you land, you may ignite the smoke and cause a massive explosion in a 30 foot radius area. Creatures caught in this explosion must make a Dexterity saving throw to take half damage and pushed 15 feet or take 10d10 of damage, be knocked prone, and be pushed 30 feet. This can be done once, regaining use at the end of a long rest.
AP Shot
At 18th level, as a bonus action, you can choose to decrease your Explosive Sweat’s damage by 1 tier to increase its range by a 15 foot line. This can be done multiple times on a single bonus action, and its damage and range return to normal at the end of your turn.
