Internal Security Agent

Overview & Creation

Clad in a black suit and tie, Internal Security Agents are infamous for being well-equipped to deal with any situation which may arise when dealing with problems of internal security. Sites often commission new technologies made to be put into small gadgets for their Internal Security Agents, and the Intelligence Agency works closely in association with Internal Security Forces to put down uprisings of Foundation personnel, equipping them with all the necessary equipment to deal with such mutinous insurrections.   The Internal Security agent is typically only hired from Intelligence Services of Major World Governments, such as the CIA, MI6, FIS, etc. These world governments typically only hire the most competent and forward-thinking individuals who they can find, leading to very competent and loyal agents. Internal Security Agents are typically well-disciplined and in some facilities follow a code-of-silence of sorts. Although not explicitly built for combat, Internal Security Agents can be called at a moment's notice to engage in combat, and has access to certain instruments which allow them to take control of the battlefield and bring the odds into the favour of their side.   Quick Build   To quickly make an Internal Security Agent, make sure you focus on Wisdom, as this is the skill used when utilizing your gadgets. Following Wisdom, if you intend on choosing the interrogator subclass, Charisma should be your next best ability score. On the other hand, if you intend on choosing the gadget master subclass, Constitution or Dexterity should be your next best ability score.

Class Features

Power Efficiency   The Foundation has equipped you with a power bank which stores some of the wasted energy from the gadgets.   Once per day, you may use the power bank during a short rest to recover expended gadget slots. The gadget slots must have a combined level that is equal to or less than your internal security agent level. For example, if you are a level 6 agent, you may choose to restore 2 level three gadget slots, or 3 level two gadget slots, or 6 level one gadget slots (or you may mix and match).   Specialty   At level two, you may choose a specialty (subclass). Your specialty grants you abilities at levels 2, 6, 10, and 14.   Ability Score Improvement   When you reach level four, and again at levels eight, twelve, sixteen, and nineteen, you can increase one ability score of your choosing by two, or you can increase two separate ability scores by one. You may not increase an ability score beyond level twenty using this feature.   If you feel so inclined, you may forego an ability score improvement in order to instead get a feat.   Gadget Efficiency Improvement   At level eighteen, you may choose two gadgets in your arsenal, one level 1 gadget and one level 2 gadget, and you may improve their energy efficiency. Casting these two improved spells does not take a gadget slot. If, however, you wish to supercharge these two gadgets, it will use a gadget slot as normal.   Spending eight hours in a laboratory or workshop, you may remove the efficiency augment from one gadget and implant it to another gadget of the same gadget level.   Signature Gadget   After you reach the twentieth level, you may gain such mastery over two level three gadgets, that they require little effort/energy to utilize.   Choose two third level gadgets to be your signature gadgets. You always have these two gadgets calibrated, and they do not count against the number of gadgets you can have calibrated at any one time. You may cast each one of them once at normal charge without expending a level three gadget slot. After you have done so, you may not utilize them for free again until a short or long rest.   If you want to cast either gadget at a supercharged level, it requires you to utilize the gadget slot as normal.

Spellcasting

As an internal security agent of the Foundation, you have been given access to various gadgets which can effect a combat or non-combat situation in many different ways. Some of these gadgets are anomalous, others not. When the complete gadget list for the security agent class is completed, it will be posted here.   Cantrips   At 1st level, you have access to three cantrips (or basic gadgets which you can utilize at any time without using a gadget slot). You may gain access to further cantrips at higher levels. See the Internal Security Agent advancement chart.   Gadget Holster   Beginning at level 1, you have a gadget holster which holds five level 1 gadgets of your choosing.   Preparing and Using Gadgets   The advancement table (below) shows you how many gadget slots you have at each level. To utilize a gadget, you must expend a gadget slot. All gadget slots are regained at a long rest where you have access to electricity (to charge your gadget slots).   Before utilizing a gadget in the field, it must be calibrated and prepared. To calibrate gadgets, choose a number of gadgets equal to your WIS Modifier + your IS Agent level (minimum 1). You must have an available gadget slot for the gadgets you are choosing to calibrate. At the end of a long rest, you may change which gadgets are calibrated, but must spend time calibrating them (at least 1 minute per gadget calibrated).   For example, as a level three you have four level 1 gadget slots and two level 2 gadget slots. If you have a Wisdom score of 16, then you may choose (3+3=6) 6 level 1 or level 2 gadgets to calibrate.   Gadget Ability   Wisdom is your gadget-using ability. You use your Wisdom whenever a gadget refers to gadget-using or spellcasting ability. In addition, you may use your WIS modifier when setting the saving throw DC for gadgets and when making an attack roll with certain gadgets.       Gadget Save DC = 8 + Proficiency Bonus + Wisdom Modifier   Gadget Attack Modifier = Proficiency Bonus + Wisdom Modifier     Supercharging Gadgets   You may use a supercharged battery to enhance gadgets. Using a supercharged battery will allow the gadget to fire at an enhanced power level. For each supercharged battery used, it acts as though it has been fired at a higher power level than it typically is, but it still only utilizes the gadget slot that it typically would at that power level.   Alternatively, you can utilize a gadget at a higher power level without using a supercharged battery. In this case, it will utilize a higher gadget slot.   Gaining New Gadgets   Each time you gain an internal security agent level, you may add two gadgets to your gadget holster. Each of these newly acquired gadgets must be of a level that you have gadget slots for (see advancement chart). On your adventures, you may find stray gadgets or gadgets that enemies have been using, which you may pick up and add to your gadget holster.
