Artificer (Revised 1.3)

A gnome sits hunched over a workbench in room cluttered with every sort of tool, carefully drawing the final lines to an intricate rune. With a crackling hum of arcane energy, the completed rune flares with power, and she watches with a smile of pride as the golem comes to life and stands.

A troll growls in hunger as it looms over a dwarf, who slides a long, metal tube from a holster at his belt. With a thundering boom, a gout of energy erupts from the tube, and the troll's growls turn into shrieks of panic as it turns to flee.

With a thunderous crash of energy a figure lands in the middle of the battlefield. As the smoke clears, a towering presence stands amidst the war-torn battlefield clad in glowing mechanical platemail. The glowing visor swivels to inspect the wreckage. It raises a gauntlet, and lightning crackles forth.

Makers of magic-infused objects, artificers are defined by their inventive nature. Like wizards, they see magic as a complex system waiting to be decoded and controlled through a combination of thorough study and investigation.

Artificers, though, focus on creating marvellous new magical objects. Spells are often too ephemeral and temporary for their tastes. Instead, they seek to craft durable, useful items.

Cunning Inventors

Every artificer is defined by a specific craft. Artificers see mastering the basic methods of a craft as the first step to true progress, the invention of new methods and approaches. Artificers are arcane engineers, students of invention and warfare who craft deadly firearms, Mechplate, and mechancial beings that they can augment with magic.

All artificers are united by their curiosity and inventive nature. To an artificer, magic is an evolving art with a leading edge of discovery and mastery that pushes further ahead with each passing year. Artificers value novelty and discovery. This penchant pushes them to seek a life of adventure.

A hidden ruin might hold a forgotten magic item or a beautifully crafted mirror perfect for magical enhancement. Artificers win respect and renown among their kind by uncovering new lore or inventing new methods of creation.

Intense Rivalries

The artificers’ drive to invent and expand their knowledge creates an intense drive to uncover new magic discoveries. An artificer who hears news of a newly discovered magic item must act fast to get it before any rivals do. Good-aligned artificers recover items on adventures or offer gold or wondrous items to those who possess items they are keen to own. Evil ones have no problem committing crimes to claim what they want.

Almost every artificer has at least one rival, someone whom they seek to outdo at every turn. By the same token, artificers with similar philosophies and theories band together into loose guilds. They share their discoveries and work together to verify their theories and keep ahead of their rivals.

Creating an Artificer

When creating an artificer character, think about your character's background and drive for adventure. Does the character have a rival? What drove your character down the path of being an artificer? Is it about curiousity and invention, or about the power the item brings?Did you character learn from another artificer, or recieve a vision or flash of inspiration to learn their craft?

Quick Build

You can make an artificer quickly by following these suggestions. If you plan to choose Gadgetsmith or Cannonsmith, put Dexterity as your highest attribute, otherwise, make Intelligence your highest attribute. Place the other value as your second highest. Second, choose the guild artisan background.

Artificer Specialist

At 1st level, you focus your craft on a particular specialization: Cannonsmith, Gadgetsmith, Runesmith, Warsmith, or Wandsmith each of which are detailed at the end of the class description. Your choice grants you features at 1st level and again at 3rd, 5th, and 14th level.

Magic Item Analysis

Starting at 1st level, your understanding of magic items allows you to analyze and understand their secrets. You know the artificer spells detect magic and identify, and you can cast them as rituals.

Spell Slots

The Artificer table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher

You know three 1st-level spells of your choice from the artificer spell list (which appears at the end of this document).

The Spells Known column of the Artificer table shows when you learn more artificer spells of your choice from this feature. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots on the Artificer table.

Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the artificer spells you know from this feature and replace it with another spell from the artificer spell list. The new spell must also be of a level for which you have spell slots on the Artificer table.

Spellcasting Ability

Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your artificer spells; your understanding of the theory behind magic allows you to wield these spells with superior skill. You use your Intelligence whenever an artificer spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for an artificer spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Spellcasting Focus

You can use an arcane focus as a spellcasting focus for your artificer spells. See chapter 5, "Equipment" in the Player’s Handbook for various arcane focus options.

Specialization Upgrade

Your expert craftsmanship allows you to improve your Specialization's Wondrous Item with new attributes.

Starting at 3rd level, choose an upgrade from the list at the end of your specialization. The features and properties of your Specialization's Wondrous Item permanently improves in that way.

You apply an additional upgrade to your Specialization's Wondrous Item at 5th, 7th , 9th , 11th, 13th, 15th, 17th and 19th level. You cannot apply an upgrade more than once, unless the upgrade's description says otherwise. Upgrades cannot be replaced or changed, besides as described in the specialization.

In any case that Specialization allows the upgrade to be swapped out, Upgrades must always be selected as if the Artificer is the level they were when they got that Upgrade slot. For example, if you replace your Thundercannon and reselect all your upgrades at as a 5-th level Artificer, you could selecte one 3rd level upgrade and one 5th level upgrade, you would not be able to select two upgrades that both had a prerequisite of 5th level artificer.

Customizing Artificer Upgrades

The upgrades for each Artificer Specialization is presented in a list at the end of the Specialization, but invariably there will always be ideas for upgrades not included in that list. At the heart of an Artifier beats an unrelenting drive for creativity, after all!

It is recommended that if there is Upgrade not included in your class list, you consult your DM to add it.

An custom upgrade should aim be balanced against the existing non-level restricted upgrades, as the level restricted upgrades are balanced around the limited number of upgrades that can be applied to them.

Ability Score Improvement

When you reach 4th, 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.

Superior Attunement

At 6th level, your superior understanding of magic items allows you to master their use. You can now attune to up to four, rather than three, magic items at a time.

Wondrous Items Proficiency

At 7th level, your familiarity with the workings of magical items means that you can ignore class based restrictions on attuning to magical items.

Improved Magical Crafting

At 10th level, your experience in creating your own wondrous invention makes you more adept at crafting a magic item than a normal spellcaster. Creating a magic item takes you half the time it would normally take.

Additionally, you can make 1 hour of progress toward crafting a magic item, scroll, or potion during a long rest.

Wondrous Item Recharge

Starting at 10th level, you can recharge a magic item that has has charges, as long as those charges can only be used to cast spells. To restore charges, you perform a ritual that takes one minute and expends a spell slot of equal or higher level then a spell slot level of a spell cast by the item. The number of charges restored to the item is equal to the number of charges required to cast that spell using the item once.

Study of Magic

At 11th level, your proficieny the workings of magic has become so great you can cast detect magic and identify at will. Additionally, you have advantage on all Arcana checks to understand the workings of magical traps, effects, or runes.

Artificers and Level of Magic

It is important to keep in mind that the balance of an Artificer is keenly tied to the availability of magic items in the world, either that can be forged by Artificer or found in the world.

Features like Superior Attunement and the Wondrous Item Mastery represent a significant elements of the Artificers "power budget". While the Artificer can be an accomplished adventurer with no additional magic items, when setting out in low magic setting with an Artificer, consult with your DM if some adjustments may be needed to the features!

In a lower magic setting, consider allowing the Artificer to create some items that they will be able to apply their class features to, and might still be thematic to their character concept and the world setting in general.

Wondrous Items Mastery

Starting at 18th level, a magic item that would take an action to activate instead takes a bonus action.

Soul of Artifice

At 20th level, your understanding of magic items is unmatched, allowing you to mingle your soul with items linked to you. You can attune to one additional magic item. In addition, you gain a +1 bonus to all saving throws per magic item you are currently attuned to.

Artificer Specializations

Cannonsmith

A Cannonsmith is an Artificer who has crafted a spectacular and terrible device. A Thunder Cannon.

A weapon of unmatched destruction, an Artificer's reason for forging such a thing is varied. Some seek the power, some seek the discovery.

For some it is but a tool to accomplish their goal, for others it is the culmination of the work, for which all the pesky details of adventuring are dedicated to.

Given the destructive potential of a Thunder Cannon, many monsters and men may seek to seize the power for themselves upon witnessing its potential, but even if were to succeed they would soon find that using one of these deadly tools is an art of equal mastery to forging one, something only the one who forged the device will ever truly master, for each Thunder Cannon is unique work, suited only to its creator.

Once fired, it must be reloaded as a bonus action.

If you lose your Thunder Cannon, you can create a new one over the course of three days of work (eight hours each day) by expending 200 gp worth of metal and other raw materials.

This boost lasts until the start of your next turn.

Firearms In a Campaign Setting

A lot of campaign settings do not feature firearms, and in some of these the Cannonsmith varient of Artificer might not be the right choice, but consider that the Artificer is fundamentally someone that tinkers and explores magic. A Thunder Cannon need not be a gunpowder powered device, and in most cases is more a marvel of magic than technology.

Inversely, in a setting where firearms are more widespread and magic is more limited, feel free to move the slider the other direction, considering the Cannon primarily a technological marvel with just as much magic is appropriate.

Gadgetsmith

A Gadgetsmith is an Artificer whose curiousity and inventive genius have run rampant. While other Artificers may spend their whole career perfecting a single-minded pursuit, a Gadgetsmith believes that quantity is at least as good as quality.

On your turn, you can verbally command the construct where to move (no action required by you) and take the Help or Attack action. It has Proficiency in Simple Weapons.

Your Warforged Golem's Proficiency increases when yours does. Additionally, it gains 5 hit points for every level in Artificer you gain. If the golem is killed, it can be returned to life via normal means, such as with the revivify spell.

In addition, over the course of a long rest, you can repair a slain servant if you have access to its body. It returns to life with 1 hit point at the end of the rest. If the servant is beyond recovery, you can reproduce the construct exactly as it was, with four days of work (eight hours each day) and 1,000 gp of raw materials.

Infuse Magic

Starting at 5th level, you gain the ability to channel your artificer spells into runic symbols for later use.

When you cast an artificer spell with a casting time of 1 action, you can increase its casting time to 1 minute. If you do so and hold a nonmagical item throughout the casting, you expend a spell slot, but none of the spell’s effects occur. Instead, the spell transfers into that item for later use if the item doesn’t already contain a spell from this feature.

Any creature holding the item thereafter can use an action to activate the spell if the creature has an Intelligence score of at least 6. The spell is cast using your spellcasting ability, targeting the creature that activates the item.

If the spell targets more than one creature, the creature that activates the item selects the additional targets. If the spell has an area of effect, it is centred on the item. If the spell’s range is self, it targets the creature that activates the item. If the spell requires concentration, the creature that activates the item maintains the concentration as if they had cast the spell.

When you infuse a spell in this way, it must be used within 8 hours. After that time, its magic fades and is wasted. You can have a limited number of infused spells at the same time. The number equals your Intelligence modifier.

Instant Runes

At 14th level, when you cast a spell with somatic component, you can use your bonus sction to trace an runic symbol, choosing from one of three effects.

• Rune of Power: You can increase the spell level of the effect by one (if applicable).
• Rune of Dominion: You can increase the DC of the saving throw by an amount equal to your Intelligence modifier.
• Rune of Persistence: You can make the Rune persist, maintaining concentration on the spell for you. This last a number of rounds equal to your Intelligence Modifier.

You must then finish a long rest to use this feature again.

Warsmith

A Warsmith is an Artificer that has turned their wondrous talent of invention to a singular goal: making themselves a juggernaut of war. The reasons behind this could benevolent or nefarious. Some Warsmiths seek to turn their invention into a machine of death and terror; others become the arbitrary of justice and order, and others still perhaps merely seek to refine their craft in pursuit of pure innovation.

Because few individuals would pursue such a wondrous invention without a driven purpose to their endeavour, Warsmiths tend to be Lawful, usually driven to their actions by a greater purpose they seek the power to accomplish, be it righting the wrongs or the world, or bringing it to heel beneath their ironshod boot.

When you craft your Blasting Rod, select one Evocation Cantrip from the Wizard spell list that does not require concentration. Thereafter, as an action, you can use the Blasting rod to cast that spell.

You can choose to scribe any Artificer spell you can cast into the Spellbook.

You can create a wand that casts one of the spells recorded within your Spellbook, and can create a new one each time you gain an upgrade as shown in the upgrade column on the class table.

Wands Akimbo

Starting at 5th level, when you use your action to cast a spell using a Wand, if you are holding your Blasting Rod in your other hand, you can cast the Blasting Rod's cantrip with it as bonus action, picking either the same target or a different target.

Starting at 14th level, If you use a wand you made to cast a concentration spell, as long as you continue to hold the wand you have advantage on checks to mantain concentration on that spell.

Additionally, when you create a wand that causes spell damage of fire, cold, acid, thunder, or lightning damage, you can choose a different damage type for the spell when cast by that Wand.

New Wand. You create a new Wand that you can infuse with a Spell of 1st level or higher you have recorded in your Spellbook. This wand does not require attunment, but can only be used by you. The Spell must be of a level that you can cast. This wand has two charges. As an action, you can expend a charge to cast the selected spell at its base level. The wand regains all charges at the end of a long rest.

You can select this upgrade multiple times, selecting a different spell each time you take this upgrade.
