Eve Points
At 1st level, you learn how to use Plasmids and unlock the power that fuels it that lay hidden within the human body. You gain eve points, which you can use to power your Plasmids. You gain additional points with each level. In addition, when making attacks with your Plasmids you use your Wisdom modifier.
Some of your Eve features or Plasmids require your target to make a saving throw to resist the feature’s effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:
Plasmid save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier
Electrobolt
At 1st level, you unlock the secrets of human potential and gain your first Plasmid: Electrobolt. As an action, you expend one Eve point and you fire a sharp bolt of electricity from your hand to a creature, object, or point within 60 ft. of you. When making a ranged attack against the creature, the bolt does 1d8 + your wisdom modifier of lightning damage. In addition, when firing the bolt at small bodies of water, such as a puddle, the water becomes electrified. Any creature touching the electrified water must make a Dexterity saving throw or take 1d4 + your wisdom modifier of lightning damage and become stunned until the start of your next turn, when the water loses its electricity.
Tonic
At 2nd level, you chose a Tonic. Choose between Leadhead, Thuggish, or Adam-Infused, all detailed at the end of the class description. Your choice grants you features at 2nd and again at 5th, 9th, 13th, and 17th level.
Incinerate!
At 3rd level, you acquire a second tonic: Incinerate! As an action, you expend one eve point and a flash of fire sparks from your hand at a creature, point, or object. You can light fires, burn objects, and set creatures aflame. If you attempt to set a creature on fire, the target must make a Dexterity saving throw or become set on fire for 30 seconds (5 rounds) and take 1d4 fire damage at the end of their turn. The damage continues until the creature takes an action to put itself out, the creature becomes submerged in water, or the creature dies.
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.
Enrage
At 6th level, you acquire a third tonic: Enrage. As an action, you expend and select a creature within 60 ft. of you. That creature is marked for 1 minute and all creatures within 30 ft. of the target must succeed a Wisdom saving throw or become enraged towards the creature. They may repeat this save at the end of each of their turns. Creatures who are enraged must spend their turn moving towards the creature or attacking the creature if they are within range. The enraged effect ends when the target is no longer marked, if the creature(s) succeed the saving throw, or if you dismiss the effect as a bonus action.
