Design Note: This class was designed without subclasses in mind because the various options provided by the blueprints

Power Core

Beginning at 1st level, you've discovered a way to generate and maintain energy into an orb. This orb, also known as a Power Core, operates the majority of your exosuit and later it enhances different class features at level 5, 11, 15, and 20.

Exosuit

At level 1, gathering various pieces of metal and meticulously putting them together, you've manufactured a suit of armor built for just you. This process takes 8 hours to complete and must be repeated if it is ever destroyed or lost. Any other creature that attempts to wear your suit doesn't know how it operates and it provides no bonuses. The armor takes 1 minute to don and doff. You also have the following benefits while wearing your exosuit:

• Your AC is equal to 13 + your Dexterity modifier. You cannot wield a shield while wearing your exosuit.
• You have advantage on Strength skill checks and Strength saving throws.
• You are able to shoot beams of energy from your palms. As an Action, you can make a ranged attack roll to deal 1d6 force damage. These energy beams have a range of 60 feet. This beams damage increases by 1d6 (2d6) When You Reach 5th level, 11th level (3d6), and 17th level (4d6)
• At level 1 your exosuit is capable of limited flight. You can fly up to 30 feet on your turn as part of your movement but you must land on a surface before your turn ends or fall. At level 10, your fly speed increases to 60 feet . At level 15, your fly speed is now 90 feet and at level 20, your fly speed is 120 feet and there is no limit to how long you can fly.

Your exosuit is capable of gaining more benefits. These benefits come from blueprints that you learn later.

Tool Expertise

Beginning at 2nd level, your proficiency bonus is doubled with one tool you are proficient with.

Item Analysis

Starting at 2nd level, your understanding of items allows you to analyze and understand their secrets. You can spend a short rest studying an item and learn from it anything you would had you casted the spells detect magic and identify on it.

Engineering

You have a codex containing blueprints that show the first glimmerings of your true power.

Codex
At 3rd level, you have a codex containing 3 blueprints of your choice.
The blueprints that you add to your codex as you gain exosuit pilot levels reflect the research you conduct on your own, as well as intellectual breakthroughs you have had about the nature of the multiverse. You might find other blueprints during your adventures. You could discover a design recorded on a scroll in an evil villain’s chest, for example, or in a dusty tome in an ancient library.
Copying a Blueprint into the Codex.
When you find a blueprint, you can add it to your codex if you can spare the time to decipher and copy it.
Copying a blueprint into your codex involves reproducing the basic form of the design, then deciphering the unique system of notation used by whoever wrote it. You must practice the design until you understand the processes required, then transcribe it into your codex using your own notation. For each blueprint, the process takes 2 hours and costs 50 gp. The cost represents material components you expend as you experiment with the design to master it, as well as the fine inks you need to record it. Once you have spent this time and money, you can prepare the design just like your other blueprints.
Replacing the Codex. You can copy a blueprint from your own codex into another one—for example, if you want to make a backup copy of your codex. This is just like copying a new blueprint into your codex, but faster and easier, since you understand your own notation and already know how to build the design. You need spend only 1 hour and 10 gp for each blueprint.
If you lose your codex, you can use the same procedure to transcribe the blueprints that you have prepared into a new codex. Filling out the remainder of your codex requires you to find new blueprints to do so, as normal. For this reason, many exosuit pilots keep backup codex in a safe place.
The Codex’s Appearance.
Your codex is a unique compilation of blueprints, with its own decorative flourishes and margin notes. It might be a plain, functional leather volume that you received as a gift from your master, a finely bound gilt-edged tome you found in an ancient library, or even a loose collection of notes scrounged together after you lost your previous codex in a mishap.

Blueprints
Using Blueprints
You can use a number of blueprints with your exosuit equal to your proficiency bonus. To use one of these blueprints, you must take time during a long rest to install the design to your armor. You may change the blueprints you are using after each long rest.
Engineering Ability
Intelligence is your engineering ability for your blueprint designs, since you learn your blueprints through dedicated study and memorization. You use your Intelligence whenever a blueprint refers to your engineering ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for an exosuit feature you use and when making an attack roll with one.
Blueprint save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier
Blueprint attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier
Learning Blueprints Beyond 3rd Level
Each time you gain an odd exosuit pilot level, you can add one blueprint of your choice to your codex. On your adventures, you might find other blueprints that you can add to your codex.

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.

Intelligent Servant

At level 6, your work towards a creating a smart exosuit is complete. Your intelligent servant is part of the exosuit that acts as a second pair of eyes and improves the suits functions. Your intelligent servant is able to handle one function that enhances a blueprint design on the suit.
Your intelligent servant can handle an additional function at level 18.

Warded Exosuit

Beginning at 7th level, you have resistance to damage from spells of 3rd level or lower.

Advanced Exosuit

At level 10, you can switch your blueprint designs and intelligent servant functions after a long rest. You can also don and doff your exosuit as an action.

Use Magic Device

By 14th level, you have learned enough about the workings of magic that you can improvise the use of items even when they are not intended for you. You ignore all class, race, and level requirements on the use of magic items.
