Hacker (5e Class)
|
This page is incomplete and/or lacking flavor. Reason: nonexistent fluff, the class is made without any subclasses and no writer to inform this is as it should, if it's not meant to be this broken then it's just greatly uunfinished. I suggest reading 5e Class Design Guide before making a class.

Deadly Strike[edit]
Starting at 1st level, when wielding a weapon that has the light or finesse property, or a ranged weapon, you can use your action to make a Deadly Strike. On a hit, you deal additional damage equal to the damage die of your weapon.
The additional damage increases to two damage dice of your weapon at 5th level and four damage dice at 11th level.
Expert[edit]
You are an expert at hacking at 1st level when you're hacking something you can use it to do one of 3 things:
1. EMP it completely turns off all power to the thing you're hacking, if you are doing this to a mechanical creature/construct they must roll Wisdom save vs DC = 10 + Wisdom + Proficiency bonus or be rendered as paralyzed until the start of your next turn.(ignores any immunities they may have to this condition as its being done through technological means.)
2. Broadcast a message through all comms devices connected to that mechanical device, your voice will sound robotic via the comms.
3. Turn a mechanical creature to your side, the creature/construct must roll Wisdom save vs DC = 10 + Wisdom + Proficiency bonus, if they fail they become your ally for a minute or until each time they are attacked by you or your allies which gives them a chance to break free by rolling the wisdom save again.
Hacked Defense[edit]
At 1st Level you've learned how to beat the system and hack the efficiency of your natural armour, Your AC = 10 + Dexterity mod + Wisdom mod
Movement Master[edit]
At 2nd level, you gain a climbing and a swimming speed equal to your movement speed and take half damage from falling. You also use your Dexterity to calculate your jumps, instead of Strength.
At 14th level, you can make high jumps. When you Dash, you gain a flying speed equal to your movement speed, until the end of this turn.
Keen Blade[edit]
Starting at 3rd level, whenever you make an attack with a light, finesse or ranged weapon, you score a critical hit on a roll of 19-20 on the d20. This increases to 18-20 at 15th level.
- Bonus Proficiencies
Starting at 3rd level, your skills at circumventing artificial problems grants you proficiency in hacker's tools and Sleight of hand
- Incognito
Starting at 3rd level, you learn how to stealthily evade repercussions for your deeds. When you successfully land an attack, you cannot be targeted by Opportunity Attacks from that target until the start of your next turn.
Additionally, when you take the Dodge action, you can choose to cloak yourself and render yourself invisible to the eye. As you're cloaked, you are considered invisible. This lasts until the end of your next turn. While in incognito, your speed increases by 10 feet. The invisibility ends early if you are hit with an attack, or if you make an attack or cast a spell. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once) per long rest.
- Wired Network
Starting at 3rd Level, as a bonus action using your hacker's tools, you are able to tap into the wiring in order to figure out what wires are tied to an object or creature. if this wired creature is damaged you can roll a medicine check with advantage on them beating a DC of 10 healing them for 1d8 + their constitution modifier on a success, this increases to a 2d8 + their constitution modifier at level 6 and 3d8 + their constitution modifier at level 13. when a wired creature is fixed this way they look repaired as if they are brand new.
Ability Score Increase[edit]
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of you 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.
Rushed Action[edit]
Starting at 6th level, you can take two actions on your turn, instead of one.
You can take the Attack and Cast a Spell only once per turn.
Shutdown[edit]
Using your hacking skills, you can utilize the exposed wiring and circuitry to your benefit and another's detriment. Starting at 8th level, you can target a creature or piece of technology as an action and attempt to lock down their access to their magic or technology:
As an action, you can force a creature within 60 feet of you to make an Intelligence Saving Throw. The DC equals 8+ Your Intelligence Modifier + Your Proficiency Bonus. On a failed save, the target cannot cast spells or use technology, and any effects created by spells that affect them are suppressed until the end of your next turn. The creature suffers disadvantage on the saving throw if they are a construct or have technology integrated into their body (like if they rely on the use of a mechanical arm when performing the spell somatics). You can use this feature twice, regaining all expended uses at the end of a long rest. You gain an additional use of Shutdown at 13th and 17th level.
Precision Attack[edit]
At 9th level, if you miss a Deadly Strike, you can roll a new d20. You must choose the new result.
You roll 2d20's at 13th level and 3d20's at 17th level.
Careful Sneak[edit]
At 10th level, if you move only 10 feet on your turn, you are considered unseen until you make an attack.
Broadband[edit]
Due to your success in exploiting glitches and coding flaws, your incognito capabilities have broadened. Starting at 12th level, when you use your incognito ability, you can choose to cloak nearby allies from cameras and radars.
As an action, you can expend a use of Incognito and cause a number of allies within 30 feet of you (including yourself) equal to your Intelligence Modifier (minimum of twice including yourself) to gain the benefits of Incognito. Once you use Broadband, you must take a long rest before you can do so again.
Surprise Attack[edit]
At 18th level, if you aren't surprised, you can move and make a deadly strike when you roll initiative.
VPN[edit]
Your ability to mend technology and magic to your will has hastened. Starting at 19th level, you gain the following benefits:
• You Have Advantage in Saving Throws against Spells and Magical Effects
• Creatures gain no benefit to perception checks from special senses (such as blindsight) when detecting you or your allies while in Incognito
• Your Shutdown DC increases by 2
