Class Abilities
Passives
Scrounger's Fabricator
As a cultist of Witch Machinatio, you are given a fabricator capable of printing various consumables and tools. Item produced by the fabricator uses your Spellcasting Ability Modifier for their save DC. As you level up, your fabricator receives incremental upgrades, allowing it to print more powerful items.
Battery Cells
This is your class resources, whenever you fabricate an item, or using some of your evolution features, your battery cells are consumed
Speculative Evolution
At certain levels, you will be given a list of passives to choose from. Each of those passive will unlock an evolution feature. Evolution features are reflavored and modified spells that fits the Scrounger class theme.
Fabricator Functionalities
Basic Fabrication
Unlocks at the start. You have 6 options to choose from, including one ranged weapon, one melee weapon, one summon, 3 types of bombs, 3 types of arrows and 3 types of concoctions(coating/elixir/potion)
Whenever an option contains more than one type of item, it will craft all of them in one go.
For example, clicking on "Fabricate Basic Bombs" will add to your inventory 9 bombs total, 3 for each type.
You can only hold one fabricated weapon at a time, if you summon another one, the previous one will disappear. Don't worry, unlocked weapons are always available for fabrication.
Advanced Fabrication
Unlocks at level 4. You have 4 options to choose from: one capsule, grenades, arrows and concoctions. These are advanced items and are generally more powerful and influential than basic ones. But it will also cost more Battery Cells.
Superior Fabrication
Unlocks at level 7. Once again you have 6 options to choose from: one ranged weapon, one melee weapon, one summon, grenades, arrows and concoctions. For superior grenades and arrows, you can only fabricate one of each for each type.
For example, clicking on "Fabricate Superior Bombs" will add to your inventory 3 bombs total, 1 for each type.
Legendary Fabrication
Unlocks at level 10. You only have 4 options to choose from this time, but each of them offers game changing effects.
