The Puppeteer

Puppeteer
A young woman hums a song while making a beautiful dress,
around her, little puppets made of colorful fabric dance at the
rhythm of it, moving boxes, embroider ornaments in the
dress and clean the workshop before opening time.
A Kalashtar sits idle in a tavern with her eyes closed while
she plays with a coin, ignoring the patrons. On another
building, her puppet patrols the roofs and streets while she
sees through its senses, seeking for their prey.
The curtain moves to reveal an old man sit with a traditional
outfit, as he starts to play his instrument and tell a traditional
story, a delicate puppet enters the stage and starts enacting
the character from the tale, getting the applause of the
spectators.
Ranging from artisans or actors, to bounty hunters and body
guards, puppeteers create their allies instead of seeking
them, and train to work in perfect synchrony with them and
the runic magic used in their fabrication.
Artificial Couple
More often than not, puppets are seen as simple toys and
tools, but for a puppeteer they are much more. Conduits of
the magic flowing through the world, living masterpieces that
will accompany them for the rest of their lives.
Although members of a guild, many puppeteers have
another profession, maybe given after joining a certain guild
or not, their puppets help them as tireless assistants. Be it
sewing, dance, bounty hunting or whatever thing their creator
propose to do, they will never do it alone.
Bonded in soul and magic
Unlike those who manipulate magic through rituals,
knowledge, or even the one present in nature and their
bodies, puppeteers do it in a more subtle way, fusing simple
materials with carefully crafted runes to create masterpieces
that amaze allies and enemies alike.
Once created, the runes of a puppet bond with the soul of
its creator for the rest of their life, creating a connection that
lets them work in perfect synchrony and share the magic that
gives life to its body, letting them fool enemies, control the
battlefield and unleash destructive attacks.
Creating a Puppeteer
When you create your puppeteer character, think in how you
started to learn making puppets and infusing them. You join a
guild as a family tradition, following the steps of your elders?
Your teacher was an retired master of a guild and took you as
his apprentice, but you never joined their guild? You might be
self-taught, looking through the window of the guilds and
repeating what they did, hearing and seeking books to learn
whatever you could. Maybe you found your puppet lying
around, or someone gift it to you, setting you on this path.
Your decided to start your adventuring career as a way of
perfecting your techniques and runes? What made you join
up with a band of adventurers? Do you want to help others
through what you have learned, or you want to learn from
them all you can in the ways of combat and magic?

Puppet Craft
Starting at 1st level, you learned the art of creating puppets
through tools and runes to accompany you in your travels as a
faithful companion. Choose one of the materials below to be
the base of your puppet:
Cloth: This puppets are the most easy and basic puppets
someone can make, and are common between kids. Using
weaver's tools, you can make one puppet as part of a short
or long rest.
Wood: This is the bread and butter of all professional
puppeteers, being malleable and fairly resistant, most
puppets are made with this material. Using woodcarver's
tools, you can make one puppet as part of a long rest.
Metal: Only the most versed, or patient craftsmen use this
material for the construction of puppets, creating
masterworks that move with gears and runes that
surprise any onlookers. Using smith's tools, you can make
one puppet as part of a long rest.
The created puppet is a tiny magical object that can be held
in one hand. You can only have one puppet at a time and can't
create one while your puppet is present. You can choose to
create a puppet of another material if you have the adequate
tools and spending 25 gp, as part of a short or long rest
(Indicated in the material of the new puppet), destroying the
previous one in the process.
When you create the puppet, you determine its
appearance. You can use an action in your turn to activate the
runes in it. It size change to medium or small (your choice)
and, on each of your turns, you can use a bonus action to
cause the puppet to move up to its movement speed to an
unoccupied space, but it cannot move more than 60 feet away
from you. As part of the same bonus action you can make it
take an action in its stat block, or the Dodge, Disengage,
Help, or Use an Object action. You need to have one or both
hands free to control the puppet, as magical strings connect
your fingers with it.
It reverts to its previous size and is destroyed if it is
reduced to 0 hit points, or you can dismiss it early as a bonus
action.
You can fully heal your puppet after 1 hour of uninterrupted
work, that can be part of a short or long rest.
Puppeteer Save DC
Some puppeteear features require your target to make a
saving throw to resist the feature's effects. The saving throw
DC is calculated as follows:
Puppeteer Save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus +
your Intelligence modifier

Modifications
At 2nd level, you learn how to customize your puppet to better
suit your needs with the use of specific runes and parts,
changing its aspect and capabilities.
Modifications Known
When you gain this feature, pick four puppet modifications to
learn, choosing from the "Puppet Modifications" section at
the end of the class's description. You learn additional
modifications of your choice when you reach certain levels in
this class, as shown in the Modifications Known column of
the Puppeteer table.
Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one
of the puppet modifications you learned with a new one.
Some modifications specify a minimum puppeteer level.
You can't learn such a modification until you are at least that
level.
Unless a modification's description says otherwise, you
can't learn a modification more than once.
Installing a modification
During a short or long rest you can use smith's tools,
woodcarver's tools, or weaver's tools to modify one of your
puppets with one modification you know. A modification
works only on your puppets.
The modification remains in the puppet indefinitely, but if
you replace one of your installed modifications it lose its
properties and stops working.
You can install more than one modification on one of your
puppets during a short or long rest. The maximum number of
modifications appears in the Modifications installed of the
Puppeteer table. If you try to exceed your maximum number
of modifications, the oldest modification immediately stops
working, and then the new modification applies.

 Puppeteer Guild
At 3rd level, you choose the guild you will be part of: Mimicry,
Persecution, or Replica, each of which is detailed at the end
of the class's description. Your choice grants you features at
5th level and again at 10th, 14th and 18th level.
Soul Strings
Starting at 3rd level, every piece of works carry a little of your
own soul and pride, letting you use the inner magic in every
puppet to control it without the need of physical strings. You
can mentally command your puppet (no action required), and
it can go as far as 120 feet away from you.
Additionally, you can manifest ethereal strings and use
them to help your allies in combat. As an action you can
manifest your strings and connect them with an ally you can
see within 30 feet of you. Until you break this connection (no
action required) or you and the connected target are in
different planes of existence, you can use an action to give
your ally the benefits of the Dodge action until the start of
your next turn.
Finally, you can connect your string to an object that
weights no more than 100 pounds, and is not being worn or
secured. You can use an action on subsequent turns, to move
it 10 feet in a direction you choose. If the object is being
carried, the creature carrying it must succeed on a Strength
saving throw against your puppeteer save DC or drop the
object.
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.
If your DM allows the use of feats, you may instead take a
feat.

Sentient Shell
Starting at 6th level, you learned how to create an artificial
core for your puppet, giving it an false soul and some kind of
awareness to your puppet. You create an artificial core after 1
hour of work. Choose one from Intelligence, Charisma, and
Wisdom, the selected score increase to 14, and the other two
increase to 10, and the puppet is proficient in saving throws
of the chosen stat.
Additionally, it can understand all the languages you speak,
but can't speak. It gains normal vision and hearing in a range
of 120 feet.
You may choose not to equip a puppet with an artificial
core, or to remove an artificial core as an action, storing the
personality and all the memories of the puppet in it. If the
puppet is destroyed, its core falls to the ground, intact.
Finally, if you are unconscious or didn't give an order, your
puppet acts on its own, focusing on protecting you and itself.
The following tables offer personality suggestions
