Feruchemist
A nearly-blind beggar on the street skulks in the shadows, hiding his frail form from the outside world. The next day, he emerges from an alley as a formidable hunter, eyes keen on tracking his quarry and earrings sparkling in the sun.
A slow-moving elf walks across a raging battlefield with determination, swords and arrow glancing off of her chest and arms, the ground around her shaking under her weight. The ring on her left hand shines with a red glow that cuts through the dust in front of her.
A dwarf rushes through the magical flames of his enemy's spell, wincing at the heat absorbing into his metal staff. He turns to face his attacker and lifts his own hand, channeling the same spell from the staff back towards his opponent.

Unarmored Defense
While you are not wearing any armor, your Armor Class equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Constitution modifier. You can use a Shield and still gain this benefit.
Primal Metallurgy
At level 1, your innate ability to manipulate the power of metal allows you to hone the potential energy of the metals in your own body. You may choose to reduce the numerical value of an ability score in order to increase another ability score by the same numerical value, not changing the numerical values per rest than the number in the "Charges" column on the Feruchemist table. While using this feature, you cannot reduce a score below 6, and you cannot increase a score above 22 unless otherwise noted.
You can choose to reduce and increase ability scores when you finish a long rest.
The number of ability scores you are able to increase by reducing one changes to two at 5th level, three at 10th level, four at 15th level, and five at 20th level.
Metalmind Sync
Starting at 2nd level, you gain the ability to sync with two metalminds of your choice. When you gain certain feruchemist levels, you gain additional syncs of your choice, as shown in the Synced Metalminds column of the Feruchemist table. Each of these Metalminds can be charged in different ways, under the Charge label for each of the metals. In addition, when you gain a level, you may replace one of your synced metalminds with a different metalmind.

Nicrosil
Prerequisite: Diligence in Mind
Charge. When affected by a spell cast by another creature, you may use your reaction to absorb a part of the spell into this metalmind. Though you are still affected per the spell's description, you may pull an amount of hit points equal to the spell's level in order to store up to 6 levels of spells into this metalmind per turn. If you attempt to store a spell of higher level than charge slots remaining in the metalmind, the charge fails, and all hit points and spells in this metalmind are lost. When you are pulling hit points, you must decrease your maximum hit points by a number equal to the hit points pulled, and you cannot regain this amount to your maximum hit points until you finish your next long rest.

Zinc
Charge. While charging, either your Intelligence or Wisdom score temporarilly drops to 3, your choice. For every 10 minutes spent this way, you gain 1 charge. Alternatively, you can drop both your Intelligence and Wisdom scores to 3, providing 2 charges for every 10 minutes spent this way.

- Use. While wearing this Metalmind, you have proficency with all Arcana (Intelligence), History (Intelligence), Investigation (Intelligence), Nature (Intelligence), and Religion (Intelligence) checks. If you already had proficiency in any of these checks, then you get experteise with that check. If you already had expertise, then you get no additional modifier. In addition, any research you have filled into this metalmind, you can recall perfectly as though you had just read it. Once the information is in your mind, you have two choices, you can either leave it in your mind, which in that case you must make any usual checks to remember it later on, or you can put it back into the Metalmind, which will leave it to be able to be accessed again later.
Cadmium
Charge. While charging this, every minute you gain a charge and you must make a DC 10 Constituion Saving throw as you suffer from a lack of air. If you take an action or move to your full movement speed, the DC increases to DC 15. If you both take an action and move your full movement speed, then the DC increases to 20. If you succed the saving throw, nothing happens. If you fail, then you take 1 level of exaustion. If you fail by 10 or more, then you take 2 levels of exaustion.
- Cost: 1 charge. If you expend a charge while you have to make a saving throw that has to do with drowning or suffocating, you automatically succeed.

You may store up to a number of charges as dictated in the "Charges" table inside of a metalmind, and you may store charges in multiple metalminds at a time. While Charging you are under the effect of each metal's Charge effect. You can use a number of charges from a given Metalmind to produce an effect, as dictated in each Metalmind's description. Unless stated otherwise, each use is activated during a bonus action.
Feruchemical Diligence
At 3rd level, you choose how to specialize your feruchemical traits. You may choose the Diligence in Self, the Diligence in Metal, or the Broken Diligence. Your diligence grants you features when you choose it at 3rd level and additional features at 7th, 10th, 13th, and 17th level.

Self-Preservation
At level 3, you gain proficiency in Persuasion, Deception, and Insight. If you already have proficiency in one of these skills, double your proficiency bonus for that skill.

Whenever you make an ability check or saving throw, you may choose to increase the total by an amount equal to your level. You may use this feature a number of times equal to half your Constitution modifier, rounded down (Min. 1), per long rest.
Diligence in Metal
As a feruchemist, you were granted a gift. It would be inappropriate not to use it. You have developed your skill set around the metalminds that you sync to, and in doing so, you have learned more about how to use those metalminds than you had ever hoped.
Metallic Bond
Starting at level 3, your experience with metalminds gives you an advantage in working with the metalminds available to you. You gain an additional synced metalmind of your choice and an additional 6 charges that you can store per Metalmind. In addition, you gain proficiency in martial weapons. At level 13, you gain another additional metalmind of your choice and another 6 charges you can store per Metalmind.

Any metal equipment that you are using or that is on your person gains a +1 increase, to include, but not limited to, ability checks made with thieves tools, armor class when wearing metal armor, attack and damage rolls with metal weapons, etc. In addition, if you make an attack with a metal weapon, the weapon is considered a magical weapon when considering attacks and damage. This bonus increases to +2 at level 13.

When you reach 13th level, add 2 to your armor class as long as you a wearing heavy or medium (except hide) armor. In addition, you may cast the Shield spell once between short or long rests.
Metallic Death
At 17th level, you can attack four times, instead of three, whenever you take the attack action.
Diligence in Mind
Though your feruchemical traits are powerful, there may be more of a use for them outside of standard feruchemical practices. By channeling the powers contained in metal into your mind, you are able to bolster your cognitive defenses and gift your with the knowledge of natural magics.

Spellcasting
When you reach 3rd level, you gain the ability to cast spells.
- Cantrips
You learn three cantrips of your choice from the druid spell list. You learn another druid cantrip of your choice at 10th level.
- Spell Slots
The Diligence in Mind Spellcasting table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your druid spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.
You start with two 1st-level spell slots at Feruchemist level 3, and gain more as you gain more Feruchemist levels.
- Learning Spells of 1st Level and Higher
You know three 1st-level druid spells of your choice.
The Spells Known column of the Diligence in Mind Spellcasting table shows when you learn more druid spells of 1st level or higher. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach 7th level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level.
Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of the druid spells you know with another spell of your choice from the druid spell list. The new spell must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
- Spellcasting Ability
Constitution is your spellcasting ability for your druid spells. You use your Constitution whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Constitution modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a druid spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
- Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier
- Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier
- Spellcasting Focus
You can use a metalmind as a spellcasting focus for your druid spells.
Shielded Mind
At 3rd level, your increased mental capacities make it harder for your mind and body to be accessed. You gain advantage on saving throws against charming and paralyzing effects. In addition, you cannot be located through divination magic, and your memories cannot be altered by magical means. You know if a creature is trying to communicate with you telepathically, though you do not automatically know what creature, and the creature can only do so if you allow it.
Vengeful Mind
When you reach 7th level, your natural connection with your mind and with metals lashes out at creatures who try to harm you. When you are damaged by a ranged or melee spell attack, you may use your reaction to deal half of the damage inflicted back to your attacker. You may use this feature an amount of times equal to your Constitution modifier (Min. 1) between long rests.
In addition, once per long rest, when a creature brings you to 0 hit points, they must succeed on an Intelligence saving throw equal to your spell DC or be inflicted with one effect from the Short-term Madness Table in the DMG.
Calmed Mind
Starting at 10th level, you may focus your natural bond between magic and metal to increase your chances of success. When you cast a spell, you may pull from your synced metalminds up to a maximum of 6 charges and add that number to your spell attack roll or spell DC, respectively. You must use this feature before you are notified of the result of the spell. You may use this feature an amount of times equal to your Constitution modifier (Min. 1) between long rests.
Focused Mind
When you reach 13th level, your associations with natural magic and metal give you significant insight into the environment around you. As a bonus action, you may spectrally mark a creature you can see within 60 feet. The must succeed a Constitution saving throw equal to your spell DC. On a failure, the creature takes 2d8 force damage, and all damage that you deal to that creature on subsequent turns increases by 2d8. If an ally is within 5 feet of you when they damage the creature, they also benefit from this feat. You may use this feature an amount of times equal to your Constitution modifier (Min. 1) between long rests.
Sharpened Mind
At 17th level, you have achieved a balance of magic and metal within your life, and with that balance comes and understanding of greater arcana. Choose 4 spells of 5th level or lower from the wizard spell list and add them to your known spells. In addition, whenever you use a metalmind as a spellcasting focus, you may add 1 to your spell attack bonus and your spell DC.
Broken Diligence
Your whole life, you have been perplexed by and wary of your feruchemical tendencies. Thus, when the time came to put your diligence into practice, you could not choose an appropriate path to fit your identity. Perhaps you were shunned, feared, and hunted by those around you one too many times. Perhaps your boredom grew in studying “normal” feruchemistry, and now you crave more of a risk with your abilities. Whatever your reasons, whether they be vengeance, thrills, or the desire to be different, your diligence is best focused on multiple facets of your life rather than one specialization.
Diligence in Death
You have so much more to do in your life that even death is hard-pressed to stop you. Starting at 3rd level, on your first turn after you drop to 0 hit points, you may choose to roll all of your death saving throws in one turn. When you use this feature, you may choose to succeed the first failed death saving throw you roll. If you roll three successes with this feature, you return back to life with 1 + your Constitution modifier hit points, your full movement, and the Dash or Disengage action. Once you use this feature, you cannot use it again until you have finished a long rest.
Diligence in Pain
Starting at 7th level, when a hostile creature deals damage to you with an melee attack or a melee spell attack, you may use your reaction to make an attack using your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus on a creature within 5 feet of you. On a hit, the target must make a Constitution saving throw. On a success, the target takes half of the damage dealt to you. On a failure, the target takes the full damage dealt to you and is knocked prone. The damage you deal to the target with this attack counts as magical. You may use this feature an amount of times equal to your Constitution modifier (Min. 1) between long rests.
Diligence in Will
At 10th level, when you are dealt damage, as a reaction, you may pull as many charges as you choose from as many of your synced metalminds as you choose. When you do so, you heal double the number of charges that you pull. If the damage dealt causes you to drop to 0 hit points or below, you may use this feature to heal yourself before you fall unconscious, as long as you were not brought to 0 hit points by necrotic damage or a critical hit. Once you use this feature, you cannot use it again until you finish a long rest.
Diligence in Wrath
At 13th level, you can attack three times, instead of twice, whenever you take the attack action. If your third attack hits, it deals additional force damage equal to your feruchemist level.
Due Diligence
At 17th level, you have learned to face as many risks as it takes to reach your goals. After you roll a dice, you may choose to reroll the dice, and you must use the second roll. When you use this feature, you may also pull and add any amount of hit points from any of your metalminds to your second roll. You may use this feature an amount of times equal to your Constitution modifier (Min. 1) between long rests.
