Gearbreed Subclass

5 min read

In the art of war, most specialize in one form of combat. You, however, have chosen to master the art of adaptability—melding armors and weapons into a seamless fighting style. As a Gearbreed Cleric, you swap armor and weapon sets mid-battle, suiting your strategy to the situation.

" Know the enemy and know yourself, in a hundred battles you will never be in peril " - Sun Tzu, The Art of War

At 9th level you gain the spells you gain can only be used in each Armour:

  • Light: Steel Wind Strike OR Swift Quiver
  • Medium: Dispel Evil and Good
  • Heavy: Circle of Power 

3rd Level: Hidden Arsenal

You perform a ritual over 2 hours (or 3 hours separately) to bond yourself to a weapon and an armor set. You can have three sets bonded at once—Light, Medium, and Heavy.

Light Set:

  • Weapons must have the Light or Finesse property.
  • You may bond two identical light weapons (e.g., two daggers).
  • Can bond to ranged weapons or gauntlets.

Medium Set:

  • No restrictions.

Heavy Set:

  • Weapon must have the Heavy or Two-Handed property.
  • You can bond a weapon and shield together.

You can switch between your bonded sets as a bonus action. Each set grants the following benefits:

Light Set:

  • Battle I.Q.: Use Wisdom modifier instead of Dexterity for AC (max +4).
  • Speed Up: +10 ft movement speed.
  • Quick Strike: When you hit a creature with an attack, you can make another attack as a bonus action (no modifier to damage).

Medium Set:

  • Battle I.Q.: Use Wisdom modifier instead of Dexterity for AC (max +2).
  • Steady Hand: +2 bonus to attack rolls.
  • Quick Fix: When you cast a spell, gain temporary hit points equal to twice the spell’s level.

Heavy Set:

  • Big Guns: Wield bonded Heavy weapons one-handed.
  • Solo Garrison: -10 ft movement, +2 AC.

6th Level: Channel Divinity – Raise Revolve

As a bonus action, you present your holy symbol to grant yourself and a number of creatures equal to your proficiency bonus temporary hit points equal to twice your cleric level.

6th Level: Arsenal Upgrades

Each set gains additional features:

Light Set:

  • Speed Up+: +5 ft additional movement.
  • Extra Attack (Light): Attack twice when you take the Attack action.
  • Wrath: When at or below 50% HP, your critical range improves by 1.

Medium Set:

  • Extra Attack (Medium): Attack twice when you take the Attack action.
  • Resistance Wrecker: Bonded weapon counts as magical for resistance bypass.
  • Follow-up Attack: When an ally attacks a creature within 5 ft of you, you can make an attack as a free action (without adding your modifier), up to your proficiency bonus per long rest.

Heavy Set:

  • Heavy Handed: Add an additional damage die when hitting with your bonded weapon.
  • Diversionary Tactics: As an action, force creatures in a 10 ft radius (and creatures 5 ft from allies) to make a Wisdom saving throw or be compelled to attack you, taking half damage from their attacks. You can use this a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus per long rest.

10th Level: Fully Loaded

You may now bond an additional set in each category (Light, Medium, Heavy) following these rules:

  • Weapons: Must be different weapon types and Masteries.

(EX: a longsword and a Shortsword for two Medium sets are ok but not 2 longswords.)

  • Armor: Must differ in attributes (resistances, traits).
     > (EX you can bond with two sets of Splint armor if one has a resistance to Slashing damage and the other has no resistance. Or if both resist Slashing but one also resists Fire. Same for shields with the Heavy set.)

10th Level: Arsenal Honing

Further upgrades:

Light Set:

  • Swift Mover: +5 ft movement speed.
  • Relentless Wrath: Your furry knows no bounds. When at 50% HP, add Strength modifier twice to attacks.
  • Dancing Blade: Each turn you end in Light Set grants +1 bonus damage (resets if you fall to 0 HP or change sets).

Medium Set:

  • Battle I.Q.+: Add up to +3 Wisdom/Dexterity to AC.
  • Planned Fix: Upon casting a spell, gain temp HP equal to four times the spell level (lasts 3 rounds).
  • Precise Hands: +2 to hit with this set.

Heavy Set:

  • Mobile Garrison: +1 AC (+2 if wielding a shield).
  • Punishing Guard: After a missed melee attack triggered by Diversionary Tactics, you may make a melee attack.
  • Veteran’s Intuition: You gain advantage on saving throws made to end ongoing effects after the first attempt.

14th Level: Perfect Arsenal

You embody the ultimate mastery of combat adaptability, you know how to bring out the best of each even tapping into that power without a bond.

  • Rough & Tough: Resistance to Slashing, Piercing, and Bludgeoning damage.

Light Set:

  • Relentless Wrath+: Your critical range is permanently lowered by 1 (and by 2 below 50% HP). Critical hits in this set deal ×3 damage.
  • Blitzkrieg: +5 ft movement; the first attack each turn deals +2 damage per 5 ft moved.

Medium Set:

  • Immunity Damper: Bonded weapons treat immunities as resistances.
  • Battle I.Q.++: Add up to +4 Dex/Wis to AC.
  • Follow-up Combo: Make two attacks on a Follow-up Attack.

  • Frontline Fortification: +2 AC (+2 more if wielding a shield, further -5 ft movement).
  • Distant Counter: Diversionary Tactics and Punishing Guard range extends by 10 ft.
  • Mega-ton Handed: Deal an additional damage die (so at this point a greataxe hits for 3d12, for example)
