 with the limit that you generally cannot go higher than your anchor
 point. The grappler cannot grab onto held or worn objects, nor onto
-creatures unless they’re unconscious or willing
+creatures unless they’re unconscious or willing.\\
+**Autootolarynx**. As a bonus action, you don a mask that enhanc-
+es smells. For the next ten minutes you can detect creatures within
+feet by sense of smell, and can easily track trails by their scent.\\
+**Bespoke Bane**. When you prepare this item, choose a creature
+whose damage immunities and resistances you are aware of. As a
+bonus action, you can hold this item, or throw it at a point within
+feet. If you throw it at a creature, the device clings to the target
+unless it succeeds a Dexterity saving throw, though the creature
+can remove the device by spending an action. The device emits
+an alchemical aura in a 10-foot radius that causes creatures of
+the type you chose to lose their damage resistances, and for their
+damage immunities to become resistances instead. This lasts for
+one minute.\\
+**Chiaroscuro Bomb**. As an action you can throw this item at a
+point within 20 feet. When you do, you choose whether it produces
+a blinding flash or releases a cloud of obscuring smoke. If a flash,
+creatures in a 10-foot square centered on the target point must
+succeed a Constitution saving throw or be blinded until the start
+of your next turn. If smoke, the item creates a 10-foot square of con-
+cealment that lasts for one minute. Strong wind can disperse the
+smoke.\\
+**Cloak of Gliding**. As a reaction when you fall 10 feet or more,
+you can cause this cloak to extend and stiffen like a wing, which
+momentarily stops you from falling farther. Thereafter, at the end
+of each of your turns you fall 10 feet (or more, if you desire). While
+descending, you have a fly speed of 60 feet, though you cannot in-
+crease your altitude. You do not take falling damage while using
+this cloak. When there is no longer air resistance from falling, the
+cloak returns to its normal shape. This gadget can be reused mul-
+tiple times.\\
+**Instant Contrivance**. When you prepare this gadget, pick any
+set of tools that weighs ten pounds or less. As an action, you can as-
+semble a set of such tools, which last until you collapse it to an inert
+form. (You can assemble a set of smithing tools, for example, but not
+an actual forge.) This gadget can be reused multiple times.\\
+**Locative Lantern**. As a bonus action, you cause this hand-held
+lantern to shed bright light in a 20-foot radius for one minute.
+During that time, creatures cannot teleport into or out of the il-
+luminated area, creatures cannot use incorporeal movement in
+the area, and ethereal creatures in that area can be affected as if
+they were not ethereal. When a creature tries to move out of the
+radius of the light, they must succeed a Strength saving throw. If
+it fails, its movement stops. You can hold the lantern, or attach it
+to yourself, typically on your belt. The lantern functions even if
+you’re not holding it.\\
+**Nocturnal Goggles**. As a bonus action, you don goggles that
+grant you darkvision, letting you see in dim light within 60 feet as
+if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. They
+function for ten minutes.\\
+**Redoubled Reaction Ram**. Weapon. In place of an attack, you
+can shove a creature within 5 feet. You gain a +4 bonus on your
+Strength (Athletics) check to shove the creature, and if you succeed
+you deal force damage equal to your Intelligence modifier, and can
+either knock the target prone or push it 10 feet. Alternatively, you
+can spend a bonus action to place this device against a door and
+make a Strength check with advantage to break down that door
+(you retain the +4 bonus). You can use the ram in a similar way to
+shatter unattended inanimate objects.\\
+**Splattering Lubricant**. As an action, you can throw this item
+at a spot within 60 feet. Slick lubricant covers the ground in a 10-ft.
+square centered on that point, which turns it into difficult terrain
+for ten minutes. Each creature standing in the area when the lubri-
+cant lands must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or fall prone.
+A creature that enters the area or ends its turn there must also suc-
+ceed on a Dexterity saving throw or fall prone.\\
+**Synthetic Peril**. You usually wear this item under clothes.
+When you start your turn and are charmed, this item jabs you with
+a wickedly barbed needle, without you needing to spend an action.
+It causes no actual damage, but is so shockingly painful that your
+mind reacts as if you have been attacked and damaged by the crea-
+ture charming you, which often allows you to make a new saving
+throw against the charm. Once activated, the device continues to
+stab you at the start of each of your turns for one minute.\\
+**Tanglegrim Bag**. Weapon. In place of an attack, you can throw
+this item up to 20 feet, making a ranged attack against a creature
+or object as an improvised weapon. On a hit, the target takes ne-
+crotic damage equal to 1d8 + your Intelligence modifier, and it must
+make a Strength saving throw. If it succeeds, its speed is reduced by
+half for ten minutes. If it fails, its speed is reduced to 0 for ten min-
+utes. Whether it succeeds or fails, it can spend an action to make
+a Strength check (DC 10), and if succeeds it can break free of the
+entanglement.\\
+**Thunderstone**. Weapon. In place of an attack, you can throw
+this item at a point within 20 feet. The stone shatters and releases a
+deafening and painful boom. Each creature in a 10-foot square cen-
+tered on the target point must succeed a Constitution saving throw.
+If it fails it takes thunder damage equal to 1d4 + your Intelligence
+modifier, is pushed 5 feet away from the center of the area, and is
+deafened for a minute. If it succeeds it takes 1 thunder damage and
+is not pushed or deafened.
+==== My Own Design ====
+At 7th level, you can devise a custom apparatus of exceptional
+power. Choose one spell of 2nd level or lower that any class can cast.
+Your apparatus can produce the same effect, requiring the same
+action to activate as the spell takes to cast, and using your gadget
+saving throw DC for any spell saving throw DC. If the spell requires
+any expensive components, the apparatus requires components of
+equivalent cost. After you use your apparatus, you cannot use it
+again until you finish a short or long rest.
+==== Signature Item ====
+At 10th level, choose one gadget you know how to create as a sig-
+nature item. You are treated as always having one of those items
+prepared, and it doesn’t count against the number of items you can
+prepare at a time.
+At 18th level, choose another gadget as a signature item.
+==== Ready for Anything ====
+At 15th level, you can use any gadget you have in your codex with-
+out having to have prepared it first. After you use this ability, you
+cannot use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
