What pulp science fiction campaign would not have a scientist class? None that I know of , so here is my take on it!

Scientist

These are men and women who have dedicated their lives to the pursuit of scientific knowledge. While they may not be very good in a fight they more than make up for it in their resourcefulness and knowledge. They are know or their wondrous inventions and alterations of existing equipment.

Level	Experience	Hit Dice	Saving Throw
1	1500	1	13
2	3000	+1	13
3	6000	2	12
4	12000	+1	12
5	24000	3	11
6	48000	+1	11
7	96000	4	10
8	200000	+1	09
9	350000	5	08
10	500000	+2	07
11+	+150000 per level beyond 10th.	+2 per level*	Reduced by 1 every two levels.

Scientist are granted 3 Fields of Study (FOS) at level 1 and gain an additional 1 at levels 3, 5, 7, etc. Anytime they are trying to use a FOS they make a ST using whatever Dice Modifiers the DM thinks are appropriate.

Scientist may invent or alter existing equipment by describing what they want to build to the DM who will determine what FOS are needed, the cost of the invention, and what appropriate dice mods are needed. Than the Scientist character will make a ST to determine whether they succeeded or not.

Scientist characters can only wear light armor and use light weapons unless it is an invention of their own.

The following list is just an example of some of the Fields of Study that can be chosen by the character.
