Administrative Access

Your fanbase codes and deploys programs to help you deliver the content they want, giving you infrastructure control and high-end memetic solutions for nothing but a please & thank-you. See chapter 10 for the general rules of access and chapter 11 for the Icon program list.

Level Zero programs

You know two level zero programs of your choice from the Icon program list. You learn additional Icon level zero programs of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the level zero programs Known column of the Icon table

Program Slots

The Icon table shows how many program slots you have to run your programs of 1st level and higher. To run one of these programs, you must expend a slot of the program’s level or higher. You regain all expended program slots when you finish a long rest. For example, if you know the 1st-level program universal translator and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level program slot available, you can run universal translator using either slot.

Programs Known of 1st Level and Higher

You know four 1st-level programs of our choice from the Icon program list. The programs Known column of the Icon table shows when you learn more Icon programs of our choice. Each of these programs must be of a level for which you have program slots, as shown on the table. For instance, when you reach 3rd level in this class, you can learn one new program of 1st or 2nd level. Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the Icon programs you know and replace it with another program from the Icon program list, which also must be of a level for which you have program slots.

Access Ability

Charisma is your access ability for your Icon programs. Your programs come from the fans streaming your adventures, eager to deliver help any way they can. You use your Charisma whenever a program refers to your access ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a Icon program you run and when making an attack roll with one. program save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier program attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier

Quick Compile Protocol

You can run any Icon program you know as a QC Protocol if that program has the QC tag.

Access Focus

You can use a streaming device (found in chapter 5) as an access focus for your Icon programs

The Hype

You can inspire others through stirring words or music. To do so, you use a bonus action on your turn to choose one creature other than yourself within 60 feet of you who can hear you. That creature gains one hype die, a d6. Once within the next 10 minutes, the creature can roll the die and add the number rolled to one ability check, attack roll, or saving throw it makes. The creature can wait until after it rolls the d20 before deciding to use the hype die, but must decide before the DM says whether the roll succeeds or fails. Once the hype die is rolled, it is lost. A creature can have only one hype die at a time You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (a minimum of once). You regain any expended uses when you finish a long rest. Your hype die changes when you reach certain levels in this class. The die becomes a d8 at 5th level, a d10 at 10th level, and a dl2 at 15th level

How-To

Starting at 2nd level, you can add half your proficiency bonus, rounded down, to any ability check you make that doesn’t already include your proficiency bonus

Wellness Sesh

Beginning at 2nd level, you can use soothing music or oration to help revitalize your wounded allies during a short rest. If you or any friendly creatures who can hear your performance regain hit points at the end of the short rest, each of those creatures regains an extra 1d6 hit points. The extra hit points increase when you reach certain levels in this class: to 1d8 at 9th level, to 1d10 at 13th level, and to 1d12 at 17th level

The CommuniTube

At 3rd level, you delve into the advanced techniques of a Icon community of your choice: the Academia or Rizzmaxxing, both detailed at the end of the class description. Your choice grants you features at 3rd level and again at 6th and 14th level

Niche

At 3rd level, choose two of your skill proficiencies. Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses either of the chosen proficiencies. At 10th level, you can choose another two skill proficiencies to gain this benefit.

Ability Score Improvement

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Flood the Airways

During that time, you and any friendly creatures within 30 feet of you, or a broadcast of you, have advantage on saving throws against being frightened or charmed. A creature must be able to see or hear you to gain this benefit. The performance ends early if you are incapacitated or silenced or if you voluntarily end it (no action required).

Crossover Era
