Turret
Starting at 1st level, you can mount a ranged weapon on a machine that obeys your commands as best it can. It has its own stats, but it takes its turn on your initiative, though it doesn’t take an action unless you command it to.

Add your proficiency bonus to the turret’s AC, attack rolls, and damage rolls, as well as to any saving throws and skills it is proficient in. Its hit point maximum equals its normal maximum or four times your engineer level, whichever is higher. On your turn, you can verbally command the turret where to move (no action required by you). You can use your action to verbally command it to take the Attack, Dash, Disengage, Dodge, or Help action. Once you have the Extra Attack feature, you can make one weapon attack yourself when you command the beast to take the Attack action. If the turret is destroyed, you can craft another one by spending 8 hours along with 20gp worth of mechanical components in addition to spare parts.
