Ancient Drill Armed

Racial Feat

Prerequisites: Utility Frame Gearborn

This feat prevents you from taking the other options presented under the "Crane Arm" Feature of the Utility Frame (ex- Arc Welder, Flamethrower, etc). You still gain the other benefits of the crane arm as described there.

Features

Your crane arm ends in an Ancient Drill Bit. Made of a metal no smith has been able to identify or replicate, you have spent your days maintaining it to the best of your knowledge. You gain the following:

• Your crane arm ends in a Drill, and as such you gain usage of the "Mold Earth" cantrip. It takes 1 minute to use instead of instantly when using your drill to use the cantrip, but the effect is permanent.
• Starting at level 10, you gain the ability to cast Move Earth, at will, without expending a spell slot. It takes 1 hour to cast when used in this way. At levels 15 and 20, this time to cast is reduced by half.
• You cannot swap the drill to use other weapons, however, you have learned to adapt by scavenging off other metal contraptions you find to upgrade and maintain it. At levels 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20, and at times your DM deems appropriate, you can add one of the upgrades below to your drill.
