Techno-Mage (ACKS Class)

The techno-mage is a technological genius, capable of emulating many of the effects of true magic through a combination of wondrous on-the-fly inventions, clever automatons, and a significant amount of blind luck.
While not as talented in the arcane as a true mage, and not as technologically capable as Dwarven Machinists, the techno-mage's inventions are no less impressive, often demonstrating abilities that should be all but impossible without the aid of magic, and so mechanically illogical that they leave even the most open-minded Machinist frothing at the mouth.
While not as proficient as fighters, Techno-Mages benefit from both academic and practical knowledge of weapons and armor. At first level, techno-mages hit an unarmored foe (AC 0) with an attack throw of 10+. A techno-mages advances in attack throws by two points every four levels. They can use flails, hammers, maces, arbalests, crossbows, and rifles, and have an unrestricted selection of armor. A techno-mage may fight with a weapon and shield, and two-handed weapons, but may not dual-wield. A techno-mage may perform one cleave attack per two levels.
A techno-mage may design, build, and repair automatons as a Dwarven MachinistAdventurer, Conqueror, King System Player's Companion.
Techno-mages cast spells and engage in magical research as a mage of ½ the character’s actual class level. After 1st level, round fractions of 0.5 or greater up. For instance, at 5th level, the character has the abilities of a 3rd level mage. The class uses its effective caster level (½ its level of experience) for purposes of level-dependent spell ranges, durations, and damage.
