Get the complete Steamcaster class with unique subclasses and abilities. This sourcebook is compatible with both 2014 and 2024 5e rules.
In the age of steam and sorcery, few dare to tread the razor-thin line between brilliance and madness.
Welcome to The Steamcasters Handbook, your essential guide to one of the most innovative and exhilarating classes ever to grace 5e adventures.
First introduced in the acclaimed Ironwic Mysteries—an anthology of steampunk-infused adventures adapted from The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and other classic mysteries—Steamcasters captivated players with their blend of arcane and mechanical might. Now, for the first time, Dungeon Matters brings these compelling characters to life in your campaigns.
Steamcasters are not mere mages. They are mad architects who bend the laws of magic and machinery to their will. They wield the power of Cogbindery—the art of replacing flesh with enchanted metal and clockwork—unlocking abilities that come at the cost of their humanity.
From creating towering automata to augmenting their own bodies with arcane-mechanical limbs, Steamcasters offer unparalleled versatility and storytelling potential for both Game Masters and players.
This sourcebook gives you everything you need to create, play, and weave stories around Steamcasters, whether in the industrial sprawl of Ironwic or any setting you imagine.
Customize your Steamcaster’s path by choosing from two distinct disciplines: the self-augmenting Cogbinder or the construct-controlling Automanator. But beware—too many augmentations may lead to becoming a Hollow Mage, a tragic blend of undead and machine driven by unfulfilled desires.
