Electromaster

An Electromaster is a unique ability to Espers. An Esper is an "Ability User" from "To Aru Majutsu no Index", they are the results of numerous scientific experiments, drugs, and surgeries.

Electromasters have the power to generate and manipulate electricity. This means that they can also manipulate magnetism. “Aside from generating and manipulating electricity, an Electromaster is said to be able to sense all phenomenon related to his or her power. All electric fields from the surrounding nature, along with all magnetic and electromagnetic information are processed subconsciously…” (Index Wiki) Those who are strong Electromasters also have the ability to see the flow of electrons, example: Electromasters are able to predict and deflect incoming electricity (or electron) based attacks. (For more on the Electromaster’s background and capabilities, refer to the Electromaster page on the To Aru Majutsu no Index Wiki)

All Electromasters involuntarily produce a strong electromagnetic field, which bothers animals and deflects against mental attacks. Electromasters are best as range damage dealers, but can hold their own in melee encounters. They are also able to apply an electrical current to any types of metal weapons for additional damage.

Class Features

A quick note about Multi-classing into Magic: Electromasters CANNOT use magic naturally. To use magic they would need some kind of item that would perform the magic for them. If an Electromaster does use magic they will be subject to damage equal to their current HP + 5.

Class Features and Overcharge Points

Overcharge Points: Overcharge points (OP) is system taken from 5e Sorcerer and Pathfinder's Gunslinger Grit points. It basically allows for the caster to spend these points to caster another ability slot at a certain level or enable the use of one of the Electromaster Feats. You regenerate these points after every long rest period.

Campaign Information

Playing an Electromaster

Religion: Electromasters were most likely raised in a city where the primary population is Atheist, they most likely do not believe in any Deities.

Other Classes: Depending on the character, they might see other casters as friendly rivals.

Combat: They are 95% damage dealers and 5% utility. They should be staying further back and hurling electricity from a distance. Iron Sand Weapon is good for when you have to get closer to enemies.

Advancement: Electromasters learn by doing. The more they use their powers, the more they are able to experiment with different techniques. If you do not have experience with controlling your powers, then you won't be able to manifest anything strong. As far as multiclassing goes, almost anything can work. Electromasters CANNOT use magic. If they do, they run the potential of dying. (Damage dealt to the player using magic should be equal to their current Health Pool + 5.

Electromaster's in the World

“	It isn't magic! Stop asking me to do magic!	”
—Rouh Hoshi, Human Electromaster

Daily Life: Stuck in a research facility, being studied. Maybe treated as an abomination by others who know of your talents.

Notables: (My own character?)

Organizations: Unless there are others in your world that have gone through the similar experience of being studied, there probably aren't very many others. They typically keep to themselves.

NPC Reactions: They'll either think you're some kind of crazy lightning mage or an abomination.

Electromaster Lore

Characters with ranks in Knowledge Science (specifically Biology and Physics) can research Electromasters to learn more about them. When a character makes a skill check, read or paraphrase the following, including information from lower DCs.

Knowledge Science (Biology, Physics)

DC	Result
5	They look like they're able to control electricity and electrical attacks most likely have no effect on them.
10	When emotionally distressed or excited, arcs of electricity involuntary spark around the Electromaster. The electricity the use is "natural" in the sense that it is naturally produced by themselves.
15	Electromasters passively emit an electromagnetic field that detects objects within the vicinity and protect them from enemies that attempt to breach their mind. If an Electromaster uses magic, it could be potentially fatal.
20	Being an Electromaster is very unnatural in the sense that they are altered in some way that affects their DNA. Electromasters typically grow up in controlled environments, and there are most likely many other users (not just Electromasters) that fit the same typology. The ultimate goal to the creation of Electromasters and the other users is unknown.

Electromasters in the Game

Typically Electromasters do not actively seek out violence. While they may love to show off and try to be the best that they can be for themselves, they don't mean anything personal by it.

Adaptation: This is edited in a way that can work with Pathfinder as well.

Sample Encounter: A young child stuck in a lab that looks visibly bored. The child extends their two index fingers towards each other and creates a small arc of electricity that lasts for a couple of seconds, but dissipates.

A young man/woman walking home from school. When they enter an alley they get corned by a group of thugs. The group of thugs are tossed around and out of the alley way, while the Electromaster quietly keeps walking.

EL 15-20+Most Electromasters, while flashy, do not actively seek out violence.
