Weapon and Armor Proficiency:arcane mechaniks are proficient with all simple weapons and

light armor. An arcane mechanik can cast arcane spells while wearing light armor without

incurring the normal arcane spell failure chance. Like any other arcane spellcaster, an arcane

mechanik wearing medium or heavy armor or using a shield incurs a chance of arcane spell

failure if the spell in question has a somatic component. A multiclass arcane mechanik still

incurs the normal arcane spell failure chance for arcane spells received from other classes.

Spells: An arcane mechanik casts arcane spells, which are drawn from the sorcerer/wizard spell

list. An arcane mechanik must choose and prepare his spells ahead of time. To learn, prepare, or

cast a spell, the arcane mechanik must have an Intelligence score equal to at least 10 + the spell

level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against an arcane mechaniks spell is 10 + the spell

level + the arcane mechaniks Intelligence modifier. Like other spellcasters, an arcane mechanik

can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. His base daily spell allotment

is given on Table 11. In addition, he receives bonus spells per day if he has a high Intelligence

score. When the table for spells per day indicates 0 spells of a given level, as with 0 1st level

spells at 2nd level, the arcane mechanic gets only bonus spells to which he would be entitled due

to his Intelligence spell bonus. Unlike a bard or sorcerer, an arcane mechanik may know any

number of spells. He must choose and prepare his spells ahead of time by getting a good nights

sleep and spending 1 hour studying his liber mechanika. While studying, the arcane mechanik

decides which spells to prepare.

Liber Mechanika:An arcane mechanik must study his liber mechanika each day to prepare his

spells. He cannot prepare any spell not recorded in his liber mechanika, except for read magic,


3/6

which all arcane mechaniks can prepare from memory. An arcane mechanik begins play with a

liber mechanika containing all 0-level wizard spells plus three 1st-level spells of his choice. For

each point of Intelligence bonus the arcane mechanik has, the liber mechanika holds one

additional 1st-level spell of his choice. At each new arcane mechanik level, he gains two new

spells of any spell level or levels that he can cast (based on his new arcane mechanik level) for

his liber mechanika. At any time, an arcane mechanik can also add spells found in other arcane

mechaniks liber mechanika to his own.

Equations :Arcane mechaniks can prepare a number of equations, or 0-level spells, each day.

They can cast these spells at will as a spell-like ability. The number of equations a arcane

mechanik can prepare each day is noted on Table 11 under Arcane mechanik. Equations are

treated like any other spell cast by the arcane mechanik in terms of duration and other variables

based on level.

Mechanikal Bond :At 1st level, arcane mechaniks forge a powerful bond with an object ormechanika. This bond can take one of two forms: The first is a mechanikal familiar, following

the standard rules for such creatures (see Mechanikal Familiars) and the second is a bond with an

object, using it to cast spells and enchanting it with even greater powers. Objects that are the

subject of a mechanika bond must fall into one of the following categories: armor, goggles, staff,

tool, or weapon. These objects are always masterwork. If the object is armor or goggles, it must

be worn to have effect, while staves, tools, and weapons must be wielded. If a arcane mechanik

attempts to cast a spell without his bonded object worn or in hand, he must make a Spellcraft

check or lose the spell. The DC for this check is equal to 20 + the spells level. A bonded object

can be used once per day to cast any one spell that the arcane mechanik knows and can cast, just

as if the arcane mechanik had cast it. This spell cannot be modified by metamagic feats or other

abilities. An arcane mechanik can enchant his bonded object as if he had the required feats.

Bonded objects only function for their creator, including any mechanik abilities added to the

object. This means that they cannot be sold. If a bonded object is damaged, it is restored to full

hit points the next time the arcane mechanik prepares his spells. If the subject of an mechanik

bond is lost or destroyed, it can be reconstructed after 1 weeks planning in a special shop that

takes 8 hours to complete.

Manufacture Mechanika:At 1st level the arcane mechanik gains the feat Etch Rune Plate for

free, regardless of prerequisites.

Recharge Accumulator:Beginning at 2nd level the arcane mechanik can begin charging

accumulators by hooking himself and the accumulator into an arcane condenser. For each spell

level expended by the arcane mechanik, he can place a single charge into an accumulator cell.

For instance if a 5th level arcane mechanik expended a 2nd .level spell and two 1st level spells

(for a total of 4 spell levels), the accumulator would gain 4 charges. Arcane mechaniks of 2nd


4/6

level or higher never need to worry about accumulator backlash. For more details see pages 92

and 324 of the IKCG.

Arcane Talent:Starting at 3rd level and at every three levels thereafter, the arcane mechanik

gains an arcane talent from the following.

Arcane Supercharger: An arcane mechanik can drain power from an arcane accumulator to

mimic the effect of one of the following metamagic feats: Empower Spell, Enlarge Spell, Extend

Spell, or Maximize Spell. The arcane mechanik must attach himself to an arcane condenser and

an accumulator with at least 10 charges in it. Upon casting a spell he wishes to supercharge, he

drains the 10 charges from the accumulator and incorporates it into the spells structure. Special:

An arcane mechanik may gain this arcane talent multiple times. Each time he selects this talent

he selects an additional metamagic feat he can mimic. The arcane mechanik cannot stack the

effects of arcane supercharger with spells already enhanced by metamagic feats.

Attune Device: The arcane mechanik may attune a foreign mechanikal device (one he did not

create). An arcane mechanik may have a number of attuned devices equal to his intelligence

modifier. Attuning a device takes 5 minutes of concentration while holding the device. Breaking

attunement to a device is a full round action, and the device may not be attuned again for 24

hours.

Bonus Feat: Instead of choosing an arcane talent, the arcane mechanik can choose a feat from the

following list of feats: Assemble Marvelous Item, Assemble Mechanikal Construct, Assemble

Mechanikal Weapons and Firearms, Assemble Steam Armor, Mechanikal Specialty, Rugged

Mechanika, and Union Steamo. The arcane mechanik must still meet all prerequisites for a bonus

feat, including caster level minimums. These bonus feats are in addition to the feats that a

character of any class gets from advancing levels.

Extra Bond: The arcane mechanik can forge an bond with an additional object or mechanika.

This extra bond must be different from any of his existing forms: a mechanikal familiar, armor,

goggles, staves, tools, or weapons. You may take this talent multiple times. Each time you take

this talent, you add a new form (to a maximum of 6 forms).

Overload: The arcane mechanik can overload a single mechanikal item (such as an arcantrik

engine, weapon, shield or other mechanically enhanced item) of his construction that he chooses

as long as it has an arcane accumulator installed within it. The arcane mechanik may as a

standard action sacrifice any spell he has prepared to make a ranged touch attack (to a maximum

of 30 feet) against the piece of mechanika he wishes to overload with an impulse of arcane will.

The resulting overload detonates the accumulator within and destroys the mechanikal item and

the accumulator. This arcane talent may be used once per day for every 4 levels of arcane


5/6

mechanik.

Recharge Self :An arcane mechanik can begin recharging himself by hooking himself and a

accumulator into an arcane condenser. For each charge drained in an accumulator cell by the

arcane mechanik, he can replace an expended spell level. An arcane mechanik cannot drain more

charges from an accumulator than the total number of his expended spell levels. . For instance, if

a 5th level arcane mechanik had expended one 2nd level spell and two 1st level spells previously

that day, he couldnt drain an accumulator more than 4 charges. The arcane mechanik recharged

by this arcane talent retains these spell levels until 8 hours have passed or has completely rested.

Schematic Savant : An arcane mechanik can recreate drafted schematics from a foreign

mechanikal device (one he did not create). Drafting the schematics takes 1 day per component

while examining and measuring the device. Losing a device prevents any progress on the

drafting, and the schematics may not be finished until the item is retrieved. Recreating

schematics requires a skill check with a DC of 20 + 1 for each component (add the effectivebonus/price modifier for rune plates instead of a single component) on the last day and takes one

day per component drafted.

Skill Mastery : The arcane mechanik selects one intelligence-based skill. When making a skill

check with this skill, he may take 10 even if stress and distractions would normally prevent him

from doing so. Special: You can gain this arcane talent multiple times. Each time you take this

arcane talent, you add a another skill.

Spontaneous Repair : The arcane mechanik can channel stored spell energy into repair spells that

they did not prepare ahead of time. The arcane mechanik can lose any prepared spell that is not

an equation in order to cast any repair spell of the same spell level or lower (a repair spell is any

spell with repair in its name).

Transfer Energy : The arcane mechanik can directly power a mechanikal item he has created

using his own innate magical energy. After 1 full hour of rest he must hold the item and sacrifice

a number of spell levels equal to the charges he wishes to imbue within it. The arcane mechanika

charged by this arcane talent retains the charges until 8 hours have passed.

Mechanik Craft :At 5th level, an arcane mechanik selects one Craft skill. He gains 1 bonus

skill point to place in that Craft skill and an additional skill point every time he gains a level. In

addition, an arcane mechanik adds half his class level (minimum 2) to all Craft skill checks and

may make such checks untrained.

Lore Master : At 10th level, an arcane mechanik becomes a master of lore and can take 10 on

any Knowledge skill check that he has ranks in. An arcane mechanik can choose not to take 10

and can instead roll normally. In addition, once per day, an arcane mechanik can take 20 on any


6/6

Knowledge skill check as a standard action. He can use this ability one additional time per day

for every five levels he possesses beyond 10th, to a maximum of three times per day at 20th

level.

Mechanika Discount:Beginning at 11th level the arcane mechanic learns to efficiently craft and

assemble mechanikal devices. Each mechanikal item he creates costs 10% less. Or alternatively,

considered one item level lower than its actual worth, including items commissioned to other

characters.

Mechanikal Innovation :The arcane mechanic reaches the pinnacle of his craft when he is

capable of making a mechanikal innovation. The Arcane mechanic creates a device, process, or

theory of such a scale that is could potentially alter the future. The arcane mechanic discovers

this innovation, but others who wish to learn it must spend a normal feat selection to do so. A

good example of this would be any item creation feat (craft mechanikal Construct, Craft Cortex)

that has changed the face of the Iron kingdoms for all time. The player should work with the GMto discuss and develop the rules necessary for the innovation and any other specifics regarding

mechanika creation as outlined on page 63 of Liber Mechanika.
