Recon (5e Class)

Recon

Human dons his branded helmet, whispering a command as a magical projection appears in front of him. He whispers another command as the projection starts displaying all the notes he has taken during investigation of a lord's death. He starts to draw into the air with his hands, projection creating lines and separating quotes from the main notes as the investigator breaks down all the information he has gathered. He starts to smile as his rearrangement starts to shape out the possible lead to who the killer might be.

A dwarf in silver-gray armor focuses as inner magic starts to flow from her into the magegun she is holding. She takes a long breath and aims her magegun at the orc that was about to charge her, then presses the switch with his thumb. a red beam of death erupts from the magegun and into the ferocious orc, disintegrating him in an instant.

Wood elf dredges through the trail in the forest, following the trails left by some mystical beast. He whispers a command to his helmet as it starts to hum slightly, creating a projection in front of him with displays of multiple entries about the beast he is tracking. Analyzing the footsteps, he orders his helmet to release a pulse of magic. As it does so, an arrow appears on the projection, clearly dictating in which direction and how far away that beast is.

Indoctrinated to a specific cause

Recons are unique fighters that focus more on tactical combat and spellcasting. Provided with spellguns and gaugehelms, these warriors use advanced magical artifacts that were created through their dedication to a cause, giving them ability to channel their innate magic through them to rain hell on the enemies, sneak into places no one can, fool the unfoolable, or to root out the secrets no one dares to speak about. Their more "Technological" magic is not as powerful as full (sometimes even half) spellcasters have, but they make up for that fact with their unique spell alterations and features they can gain from tweaking their gaugehelms.

Recons are organized in groups called agencies, each agency fulfilling a role of an extremely specialized guild. Each agency has their own specific cause they pursue and their own dedication indoctrinations, allowing their recons to channel their magic in a specific way. Those indoctrinations are often called Gauntlets and they are extremely traumatizing- only few people lost in the legends have fully finished the gauntlet, most of which have fully given up on being humane and caring for themselves, only pursuing their cause.

as a warrior who serves a cause with little worry about the wellbeing of themselves and others, no one is accidentally made into a recon. Most often, they are drafted by other recons who seek out individuals with either a traumatic past that made them aligned with a specific cause or those who were born with a strong moral compass that is nearly identical to a cause. Some more dedicated individuals might even volunteer to join those agencies, especially if no god or oath of paladins let them pursue their goal.

Creating a Recon

When creating a recon, you always have to think about how-or why- is your character pursuing their cause, how did they get to the conclusion that their cause is worthy and that they have to achieve it- no matter the sacrifices. Maybe you have subjugated yourself to exterminate all evil because monsters wiped out your village, leaving you as a sole survivor. Or you might pursue a cause to bring all corrupt barons and people in power so there will be no injustice served by them.

Another question to consider is how the character was initiated into their agency. Maybe an agent found them, and offered to enlist them into their agency so the agency could train them to channel their magic for their cause. Or maybe you opened your inner potential by accident, when your dedication flared at its peak and allowed you to tap into your reserves even without an agency to guide you. Maybe you decided to volunteer as no one else could help you in achieving your goals, or you were forced to do so.

Quick Build

Spellgun Spellcasting

Your dedication to a higher cause has gifted you your own magic that compels you to do what you have set your eyes on. While this magic isn't channelable in a normal spellcasting, you have found a way to focus that inner potential into a magical device that is capable of casting spells instead of you with this magic.

beginning from first level, you know how to use spellguns- a collection of weapons that can channel your dedication as a magical spells. Upon finishing a Long or Short rest, you can magically form a spellgun, to which you automatically attune to. When you are attuned to a spellgun, you gain access to spells that the attuned spellgun can cast. You can't upcast spells casted by spellgun and you don't need to provide verbal or material components if material cost is negligible- only somatic component, which is using the spellgun. If a material component has a cost provided, you need to provide that material component in order to cast that spell from a spellgun. In addition, no one can use a spellgun that is not attuned to them and a person who is attuned to a spellgun can use an action to teleport their spellgun into their hands. Spells casted from the spellgun is considered as a normal spell for purposes of counterspell and dispel magic. Casting a spell from a spellgun takes bonus action, action on reaction depending on a spell. Spellgun can cast more than one leveled spell on a single turn when casting a spell from spellgun.

Three spellguns are listed in this description with their spells, but you (as a DM) can always come up with your own spellguns with their own unique spells.

Your class table shows how many arcane charges you get when you complete a long rest and how many arcane charges you can "load" into your spellgun until you need to reload. Arcane charges are used to cast spells from your spellgun. When you cast a spell from your spellgun, spellgun drains arcane charges from its magazine equal to casted spell's level. You can reload the spellgun to renew the spellgun magazine, which uses up an action and bonus action. You can transfer as many arcane charges as you wish into the spellgun magazine, but spellgun can't have more than spellgun's magazine size as shown in spellgun magazine column in class table.

Spellguns can have 5 special weapon properties due to their magic channeling nature: agile, extender, equalizer, arcane and expanded mag.

agile property can only be applied on a spellgun that does not have versatile, heavy or two-handed property. This property allows user make a melee weapon attack alongside casting a spell that has casting time of action from your spellgun. This attack has -2 bonus on the attack roll and you do not add your corresponding ability modifier to the damage roll.

extender applies a distant spell metamagic option to all spells casted from this spellgun, effectively doubling the max range of most spells cast from the spellgun.

Equalizer makes all targets affected by the spell cast from this spellgun to deduct half your proficiency bonus (rounded down) from their saving throw roll (to resist spell effect). If you decide to use this effect, the cast spell’s range (not Area of Effect) is halved.

extended mags allow spellgun to hold extra arcane charges equal to half your proficiency bonus rounded down.

Arcane changes all spell damage types made with this spellgun into force damage type.

Tracker dart

Your dedication to hunting monstrosities has allowed you to channel your magic into a sort of tracking dart that emanates excess magic, allowing you to keep track of the being you hit with this dart for a while. Beginning from 17th level, whenever you hit a creature with a firebolt cantrip attack from your spellgun, you can forgo dealing damage with that hit and instead force hit creature to make a charisma saving throw against your spellgun DC. On a failure, the target creature becomes tracked by you. Unless a tracked creature enters a zero-magic zone, the target creature can’t hide from you, and you know their exact location if you are on the same plane of existence as the tracked creature or you know on which plane of existence the tracked creature currently resides in. You can use this feature once a day and you regain use of this feature when you finish a long rest.

Gauntlet of the Subterfuge

When you reach 7th level, you learn friends cantrip and can cast it without providing any components to the casting. You can also expand 2 arcane charges to cast Suggestion and Charm person spells at 2nd level, without expanding a spell slot or requiring any components during casting. To cast these spells, you need to be talking with the target creature(s) for at least a minute before you can cast this spell.

Unnoticeable manipulator

You have perfected your speech patterns, allowing you to channel your mind-altering magic without the risk of the targeted creature noticing your manipulations. Beginning from 12th level, every spell that influences a target creature through changing their ways of thinking (such as friends cantrip or suggestion spell) are no longer detectable, leaving the targeted creature unaware that you tried to influence them with magical means. All spell effects that trigger with a creature becoming aware that you tried to influence them does not activate either as the affected creature does not know that you have attempted to do so.

Lying reality

As you push your magic to its pinnacle, you become able to alter other being’s state of mind, changing reality they have previously experienced. When you reach 17th level, you learn Modify memory and Dream spells and you can cast these spells by expanding 10 arcane charges, not requiring you to expand a spell slot or to provide components for casting. To cast modify memory with this feature, you must be talking with the target creature for at least 10 minutes. Target creature remains conscious and can speak but is magically compelled to remain still and listen to what you speak. When you cast Dream with this feature, you must be touching the target creature with your hand, otherwise the spell fails. Only you can be the messenger and target perceives the dream as if they have awoken in reality, responding to any event that you throw at them just as they would respond to it if that event actually happened. After the spell ends, the target remembers their dream as a dream that he thought to be reality, unaware that you have been the real architect of their dreams.
