Mental Energy

At 1st level as your powers emerge you understand that the the strain it takes to fuel them is on your mind, slowly fatiguing you as you exert yourself more and more. This is represented by a number of mental energy points equal to your magnet mutant level + Intelligence modifier. When you expend a point of mental energy, it is unavailable until you finish a short or long rest, of which you must spend at least 30 minutes of the rest meditating or sleeping to regain your expended mental energy. Some of your magnet mutant features require your target to make a saving throw to resist the feature's effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:

Magnet Mutant DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier

Magnetism

Beginning at 1st level, your powers begin to manifest as you gain innate sense and control over magnetism and the manipulation of both ferrous and indirectly nonferrous metal via metal ores they may contain. As a bonus action on your turn you may select a number of metallic objects that aren’t being worn or carried up to your proficiency modifier and place these objects under your control. Additionally as part of the same bonus action you may collapse together ore and metal from the surrounding area into spheres. These spheres are Tiny sized objects and weigh 100lbs each. You may have a number of objects controlled under this feature equal to your proficiency modifier and cannot control more than a combined weight of 500lbs. You can control a combined weight of 1,000lbs at 5th level, 4,000lbs at 10th level, 8,000 lbs at 15th level, and 10,000 lbs at 20th level. Selected objects under your control can be moved up to 30 feet in any direction including upwards, or be commanded to orbit around you remaining in a 10ft space around you provided they are within that space, on your turn (no action required by you). These objects remain under your control for 1 minute as long as they remain within 60 feet of you or until released as an action on your turn, falling if still within the air. As an action on your turn you may attack with the objects under your control ramming them at a creature or object within 30 feet of it. Make a ranged weapon attack against the target using your Intelligence modifier. You can direct the objects under your control at the same target or at different ones. Make a separate attack roll for each target. On a hit the target takes bludgeoning damage or damage of the type used by the melee weapon (Ex: a shortsword deals piercing damage) equal to the size of the object that hit it. Weapons weighing 1 lb. or less are considered Tiny (daggers, darts and ammunition), heavy weapons are considered Medium (glaive, greataxe, greatsword, halbert, maul, pike and heavy crossbow), and all other weapons are considered Small (unless indicated otherwise, oversized for example). An object under your control has the following stats:

Tiny

HP: 20, AC: 18, 1d4 + Intelligence modifier damage

Small

- HP: 25, AC: 16, 1d6 + Intelligence modifier damage

Medium

- HP: 40, AC: 14, 1d8 + Intelligence modifier damage

Large

- HP: 50, AC: 12, 1d10 + Intelligence modifier damage

Huge

- HP: 80, AC: 10, 1d12 + Intelligence modifier damage

Electromagnetic Enlightenment

Also at 3rd level, your range of control has evolved past just simple magnetism as you’ve begun to manipulate and produce electromagnetic force fields. This manifests in the following ways:

• While you are wearing no armor and not wielding a shield, your AC equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Intelligence modifier.

• As a bonus on your turn you may expend 2 points of mental energy to try to magnetically pull or push a creature or object within 60 feet of you. A creature targeted by this feature must make a Strength saving throw or be moved 20 feet toward or away from you. A creature can willingly fail this save. An object targeted by this feature is automatically moved up to 20 feet toward or away from you. If the object is worn or carried by a creature, you must make an Intelligence check contested by that creature’s Strength check.

Mutant Evolution

Beginning at 4th level, your mutant powers develop even farther as you begin to learn how to put everything under the rule of your magnetism. You may now target Large or smaller metallic creatures or creatures wearing a heavy amount of metal with your Magnetism feature. When a creature is selected as part of the bonus action from the Magnetism feature make an Intelligence check contested by the creature’s Strength check. If you win the contest, you may treat the creature as an object as part of the Magnetism feature. If you attack with the creature it takes damage equal to your {{5a|int} modifier on hit. At the start of its turn a creature under control of your Magnetism feature can contest your magnetic control over it repeating this process breaking free of your control on success.

At 10th level your resourcefulness has gifted you with the ability to effect things previously outside of your control using electromagnetic waves. You may now effect non-metallic creatures and objects with you Magnetism feature. Non-metallic creatures have advantage on contests against the Magnetism feature and you must succeed on a DC (13 + 1 per size above Tiny) Intelligence check to control non-metallic objects.

Magnetic Manipulation

Also at 4th level, you’re able to further concentrate on the weapons in your grasp utilizing them to the full extent of their abilities. Whenever you select a weapon to be under your control as part of the Magnetism feature you may have it count as two objects to gain your concentration. While a weapon has your concentration, as part of the attack action made by the Magnetism feature, you may make an attack with the weapon as if you were wielding it against a target within range using your Intelligence modifier for attack and damage rolls dealing the weapons normal damage on hit instead of damage dictated by size.

Ability Score Improvement

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.

Malleable Metals

Beginning at 5th level, you’ve learned how to bend and build upon the manipulation of metals and ores. You’re able to express this control in the following ways, targeting a chosen amount of spheres under your control made by the Magnetism feature:

• As a bonus action on your turn you may twist the shape of spheres chosen switching the damage type between bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage.

• As a bonus action on your turn you may expend a number of mental energy to increase or decrease the size of chosen spheres by one size category per point spent (Ex: Tiny size -> Small size or Huge size -> Large size). Spheres cannot become a size greater than Huge this way, additionally each sphere weighs 300lbs while Small, 500lbs while Medium, 2,000lbs while Large, and 3,000lbs while Huge.

Polarize

Starting at 6th level, your damage using features from this class count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.

Repulsion Field

Beginning at 7th level, you’ve begun to tap in and manipulate the electromagnetic energy that surrounds the world granting you the gift of flight. You gain a flying speed equal to 30 feet.

Metallic Surge

Starting at 8th level, as an action on your turn you can drain 1 point of mental energy and unleash an outburst of electromagnetic energy in a 15-foot-radius sphere centered on you. Each creature in the area must make a Strength saving throw. On failed save a creature takes 2d8 force damage and is pushed 10 feet away from you. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage and isn't pushed. You can expend a number of additional mental energy up to your proficiency bonus to empower your outburst, dealing an additional 1d8 per point of mental energy drained and pushing an additional 5 feet per every 2 points of mental energy drained.

Sentinel Shield

At 11th level, you’ve become craftier with your manipulation of metal objects to add to your aid in defending you. As a bonus action on your turn you may expend points of mental energy to gain 10 temporary hit points per point expended as you form a protective shield around you in a shape and design of your choice constructed of ore and metal from the surrounding area. You may not gain more temporary hit points than your proficiency modifier x 10 using this feature. This shield last for 1 minute or until dismissed as a bonus action on your turn, and counts as one of the objects controlled under the Magnetism feature.

Binding Light

Starting at 12th level, you’re able to use the magnetic fields you generate to turn invisible by warping visible light around yourself and others. As an action on your turn you may have a number of target creatures equal to your Intelligence modifier within 10 feet of you and have them become invisible for 1 hour. Anything the target is wearing or carrying is invisible as long as it is on the target’s person. The invisibility ends for a target that attacks or casts a spell. Once you have used this feature you must finish a long rest before you can use this feature again.

Repulsion Field

At 15th level, the manipulation of the forces under your control have allowed you to shape a field of protective magnetic repulsion. As an action on you turn you may construct An invisible wall of force at a point you choose within 100 feet. The wall appears in any orientation you choose, as a horizontal or vertical barrier or at an angle. It can be free floating or resting on a solid surface. You can form it into a hemispherical dome or a sphere with a radius of up to 20 feet, or you can shape a flat surface made up of twenty 10-foot-by-10-foot panels. Each panel must be contiguous with another panel. In any form, the wall is 1/4 inch thick. It lasts for 10 minutes or until dismissed as an action on your, and requires concentration as if concentrating on a spell. If the wall cuts through a creature’s space when it appears, the creature is pushed to one side of the wall (your choice which side).
Nothing can physically pass through the wall. It is immune to all damage and can’t be dispelled by dispel magic. A disintegrate spell destroys the wall instantly, however. Once you have used this feature twice you must finish a long rest before you can use this feature again. This increase to three uses before needing a long rest at 18th level.

Pull on the Heavens

At 20th level, your manipulation of your powers has allowed you to reach beyond just the world. Once per day as an action you may pull blazing orbs of fire to plummet to the ground at four different points you can see within 200 feet. Each creature in a 40-foot-radius sphere centered on each point you choose must make a Dexterity saving throw. The sphere spreads around corners. A creature takes 10d6 fire damage and 10d6 bludgeoning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. A creature in the area of more than one fiery burst is affected only once.
