About this class
Spend 3 Hope: Choose yourself or an ally within Close range and restore the use of one of their abilities that has already been used and would normally become available again after a rest. Once you’ve restored a specific ability this way, you can’t restore that ability again until you take a long rest.

Gadgeteer
During a short rest, create one Gadget that replicates the effects of any domain card with a level equal to or lower than your Proficiency. You may only use it once. If it requires a Spellcast Roll, use Knowledge. You can only have one Gadget at a time; creating another causes the previous one to cease functioning.
Class items
- A broken gadget you've never been able to get working or a orb that constantly glows, whether you want it to or not.
