Relax

A Great Inventor spends periods of rest on their creative energy.

At the first level, you recover your focus points during a long rest. In addition, a great inventor can replenish a 1d4 + their Intelligence modifier to focus points once per short rest. This takes a full short rest and can’t be done while doing any other action.

The Relax die grows to a d6 at the 5th level, a d8 at the 10th level, a d10 at the 15th level, and a d12 at the 20th level.

Dismantle

at the second level, Using your knowledge of all sorts of mechanical stuff, you can take an action to interact with a trap, lock (2 focus points), or construct (focus points = 2 for Tiny, 4 for Small, 8 for Medium, 15 for Large) within 5ft of you. Constructs take a wisdom saving throw against your Intelligence, with an advantage. On a failure, the construct is destroyed, falling to pieces under your hand. On a success, deal 1d6 x tinkerer level damage to the construct. If you are attempting to dismantle a lock or a trap, you must make an Intelligence check based on GM discretion. At full potential, Constructs don’t have an advantage or you have an advantage on the Intelligence check.

Repair

at the second level, Using your knowledge of mechanical stuff, you can use an action to interact with any broken object like a door(2 focus points), wagon(4 focus points), or construct (focus points = 2 for Tiny, 4 for Small, 8 for Medium, 15 for Large) within 5ft of you

Notes
