Bound with an otherworldly patron, Scroungers seek salvation in the fabrics of the material world.


5.2 update has been released. This is the single biggest content update for this class to date, new items and abilities, reworks of existing stuff and fundamental mechanic changes, etc. 

Portal: Scrounger update 5.2 patch notes

Including, but not limited to:

  • Four new items, including a shield that can be equipped in the ranged off hand slot, allowing you to parry enemy attacks and follow up with your own attack.
  • Yes, you can pair the shield with a hand crossbow. 
  • Equipping this shield automatically makes you proficient with it and hand crossbows in general.
  • Implemented "Instrument of Boundless Rage" ability from Pillars of Eternity 2.
  • Your fabricated weapons and armors can now be shared among your parties!
  • Because of this change, new weapons are no longer permanent. I recommend respeccing your characters to get rid of old weapons to reduce clutter.
  • Overhauled some old abilities and summons to bring them inline with 5.2 standards.
  • Capsules stacking rework.
  • Custom made icons for every ability.
  • And more!

New items are part of Scrounger's toolkit, if you already used Toolkit Fabrication prior to 5.2 update, you can take a long rest and re-fabricate them to access new items. To get rid of old weapons pre 5.2, respec your character.

Scrounger Overview

  • A cultist specializes in chemical warfare and bio-engineering. Fabricate unique, custom-made consumables that are only available to Scrounger. From grenades that cause hallucination to arrows that grow malicious flora on the ground, you decide how you want to torment the warzone.
  • Bio-engineer your own body and twist the path of evolution.
  • No vanilla items and abilities were overwritten, every item from this mod uses its own template, and every ability has its own entry.
  • Every single ability and item comes with new flavor texts to provide maximum immersion (as a Scrounger). Customized status effects also have their own descriptions in the tooltips.
  • Spellcasting Ability: Intelligence
  • Proficient in Intelligence and Strength saving throws. Proficient in light armor and simple weapons.
  • Starting equipment: just a mage robe, no weapons, no potions, etc., not even a pair of shoes. Because you will be fabricating your own items and gears.
  • Weapons and consumables fabricated by you uses your spellcasting modifier. For Scroungers, it's your Intelligence.
  • Use warlock dialogue options.

Scrounger's Fabricator

  • Basic Fabrication: unlocks at the start
  • Advanced Fabrication: unlocks at level 4
  • Superior Fabrication: unlocks at level 7

Each fabrication has several sub-options to choose from. You can craft a wide range of useful items to help you tackle challenges ahead. Excluding certain tools, every consumable, weapon and armor you fabricate can be shared with your party.

Speculative Evolution

  • As you level up, you will unlock a list of passives to choose from, called "evolutions". Compare to your fabricated consumables, evolution features lean more into utilities, though there are exceptions.
