Editing Blackstaff's Tome of Wizardry (section)

==School of Puppetry==
This is a variant Golemancer (see above) who focuses on animating small but more versatile puppets to serve their will, rather than the more traditional big hulking [[golem]].

Obviously, the 2nd level features for this subclass are what imbues the Puppeteer with their iconic puppets in the first place. '''Magic Marionettes''' lets the Puppeteer craft Small Constructs in the form of puppets during their downtime, which also gives them free proficiency with the Tinker's Tools; there are four different kinds of magic marionette, each of which requires a certain level before the Puppeteer can create them, as well as its own specific amount of time and money to build. The four types are ''Basic'' (2nd level, 2 hours, 50 GP), ''Swift'' (6th level, 2 hours, 100 GP), ''Sturdy'' (10th level, 4 hours, 250 GP) and ''Imbued'' (14th level, 4 hours, 500 GP). A damaged puppet can be restored as part of a rest, costing 1 copper piece per HP for a Basic, 5 silver pieces per HP for a Swift, 1 gold piece per HP for a Sturdy and 5 gold pieces per HP for an Imbued. A destroyed puppet can't be fixed, but the Puppeteer can salvage materials equal to half the puppet's original construction value from the wreckage to put towards building new puppets. In comparison, '''Magic Strings''' is the feature that lets the Puppeteer actually control its creatures; the wizard can project intangible and invisible (except to creatures with Blindsight) strings up to 30 feet, which can be used to link the Puppeteer and a puppet. Whilst linked, the Puppeteer can sense whatever the puppet senses, and can use their actions to control it: spend an Action to make the puppet Attack, Disengage, or Dodge; spend a Bonus Action to move the puppet, and spend a Reaction to let the puppet do... well, whatever a Reaction could be used to do.

Puppeteers actually gain a ''third'' level 2 feature; '''Spell Delivery''' lets the puppet act as the delivery point for spells of a certain level, based on the Puppeteer's own level; by default, they can only channel Cantrips for their wizardly master, but this improves to 1st level spells at 6th level, 3rd level or lower spells at 10th level, and 5th level or lower spells at 14th level.

At 6th level, the Puppeteer gains the '''Improved Strings''' feature; they can now control their puppet out to a distance of 40 feet, the puppet now has its own Move action, and the Puppeteer can spend their Bonus Action to make the puppet Attack, Disengage or Dodge, as well as their Action.

10th level brings the feature '''Cohesive Puppetry'''; the Puppeteer can now control their puppet out to a distance of 50 feet, and can cast 2 spells in a single turn once per day by using the Spell Delivery feature - that is, the second spell must be cast by the puppet, and so it's got to be of the appropriate level!

Finally, 14th level's '''Traverse the Strings''' not only increases the distance of the Magic Strings to 60 feet, but lets the Puppeteer spend an Action to switch places with a controlled puppet - in other words, the Puppeteer teleports to where the puppet was, and the puppet teleports to where the Puppeteer was. This can be done Intelligence modifier times per day.
