Arcane Archer

In all of our research, we only found one person who had abilities of this magnitude. Magical marksmen are not that uncommon, but when it comes to what happened to Aironard Hallowspark, nothing can compare. Whether it was a cruel prank or a genuine mistake Aironard's disgraced brother, Felbar, performed some sort of spell that backfired and killed Aironard we had believed. Miraculously however, Aironard lived and had obtained these new abilities. they have proved to be hard to control but with the right amount of luck, he has been able to pull off extraordinary feats of magic.

Artificer

These people are masters of invention. Artificers use ingenuity and magic to unlock extraordinary capabilities in objects. They see magic as a complex system waiting to be decoded and then harnessed in their spells and inventions.

---

Although rare here on the Sword Coast, artificers use a variety of tools to channel their arcane power. To cast a spell, an artificer might use alchemist's supplies to create a potent elixir, calligrapher's supplies to inscribe a sigil of power, or tinker's tools to craft a temporary charm, instead of weaving mana like a wizard or warlock. The magic of artificers is tied to their tools and their talents, and few other individuals can produce the right tool for a job as well as an artificer.

Cultist

When we discovered a local band of cultists living within our Cloakwood we didn’t know what to make of it. They performed bizarre rituals and worshiped long-forgotten gods. Whether through some miracle, or some form of lost magic, they obtained power through harvesting the souls of their sacrifices. They bent these poor souls to their will and could use them to protect their allies or harm their foes.

---

Trying to remove them from the Cloakwood could spell doom for Erbag and the surrounding woodland creatures. Who knows how many ways they could twist and fracture our souls to fit whatever grand design they have for this world, or for their mysterious gods.

Pirate

When we learned of people who roam the seas to make a living we were rather surprised. Granted, we got all of our initial information from a rather unreliable source, but that source called himself a pirate as well, so we took it as fact. He described pirates as ruthless and cunning warriors with love for, or addiction to, the sea. They use their guile to outwit and outmaneuver their opponents. He also spoke of a common theme between all pirates; greed. Many pirates, such as himself, loved to accumulate impossible amounts of wealth.

---

With all their shortcomings, pirates could make a powerful friend. With unparalleled seafaring knowledge and daunting martial prowess, they could serve as great leaders or sea navigators. If you do plan to work alongside a pirate, however, you might want to safeguard your pockets. Anything in them might not be there by the end of the journey.

Ranger

Some adventurers we found took a liking to nature and animals more than their own adventuring party. These people we have called rangers, not only for their great ability to scout and range ahead of the party but because most of them we encountered liked bows and crossbows. Not every ranger we encountered was the same however, some worked with beasts, others stalked their prey like an assassin, some even used magic to teleport around the battlefield.

---

There have been many famous rangers in history like Minsc and Drizzt Do'Urden. These rangers were powerful in their own right but there is something inexplicably better or even, improved upon one could say about what we discovered in our research. Maybe it is better training methods, or even just more efficient use of their current skills, but rangers seem to be key for any great group of adventurers.

Artificer Infusions

Starting at 1st level you have the ability to imbue mundane items with certain magical infusions, turning those objects into magic items. When you gain this feature, pick four infusions to learn. You learn additional infusions of your choice when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown in the Infusions Known column of the Artificer class table. Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of the artificer infusions you learned with a new one.

---

Infusing items takes one hour, which can be completed as part of a short or long rest. During this time you can work with up to a number of items equal to your Intelligance modifier, turning them into a magic items. An infusion works on only certain kinds of objects, as specified in the infusion's description. If the item requires attunement, you can attune yourself to it the instant you infuse the item. If you decide to attune to the item later, you must do so using the normal process for attunement.

---

Your infusion remains in an item indefinitely, but when you die, the infusion vanishes after a number of days equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1 day). The infusion also vanishes if you replace your knowledge of the infusion.

Spellcasting

You've studied the workings of magic and how to cast spells, channeling the magic through objects. To observers, you don't appear to be casting spells in a conventional way; you appear to produce wonders from mundane items and outlandish inventions.

Tools Required

You produce your artificer spell effects through your tools. You must have a spellcasting focus - specifically thieves' tools or some kind of artisan's tool - in hand when you cast any spell with this Spellcasting feature. You must be proficient with the tool to use it in this way.

Artificer Spell List

Cantrips (0-Level Spells)

At 1st level, you know two cantrips of your choice from the artificer spell list. At higher levels, you learn additional artificer cantrips of your choice, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Artificer table. When you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of the artificer cantrips you know with another cantrip from the artificer spell list.

Preparing and Casting Spells

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

---

You prepare the list of artificer spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the artificer spell list. When you do so, choose a number of artificer spells equal to your Intelligence modifier + half your artificer level, rounded down (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

---

You can change your list of prepared spells at any time. Preparing a new list of artificer spells requires time spent tinkering with your spellcasting focuses: at least 2 minutes per spell level for each spell on your list.

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.

Expert Crafter

At 2nd level you have honed your crafting ability beyond the normal persons, and can craft at a base speed of 9 gp per hour, instead of the noramal 6 gp per hour.

Artificer Specialist

At 3rd level, you choose the type of specialist you are. Your specialty grants you features at 5th level and again at 9th and 15th level.

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.

---

Using the optional feats rule, you can forgo taking this feature to take a feat of your choice instead.

Enchanting Proficiency

Starting at 5th level you gain proficiency in Enchanter's tools and the cost to craft all magic items is reduced by 25%.

Tool Expertise

At 6th level, your proficiency bonus is now doubled for any ability check you make that uses your proficiency with a tool.

Flash of Genius

At 7th level, you've gained the ability to come up with solutions under pressure. When you or another creature you can see within 30 feet of you makes an ability check or a saving throw, you can use your reaction to add your Intelligence modifier to the roll.

---

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Magic Item Adept

When you reach 10th level, you achieve a profound understanding of how to use and make magic items:

• You can attune to up to four magic items at once.
• you can attune to magic items as an action instead of the normal 30 minutes.

Spell-Storing Item

At 11th level, you can now store a spell in an object. Whenever you finish a long rest, you can touch one simple or martial weapon or one item that you can use as a spellcasting focus, and you store a spell in it, choosing a 1st- or 2nd-level spell from the artificer spell list that requires 1 action to cast (you needn't have it prepared).

---

While holding the object, a creature can take an action to produce the spell's effect from it, using your spellcasting ability modifier. If the spell requires concentration, the creature must concentrate. The spell stays in the object until it's been used a number of times equal to twice your Intelligence modifier (minimum of twice) or until you use this feature again to store a spell in an object.

Magic Item Savant

At 14th level, your skill with magic items deepens more:

• You can attune to up to five magic items at once.
• You ignore all class, race, spell and level requirements on attuning to or using a magic item.

Magic Item Master

Starting at 18th level, you can attune up to six magic items at once.

Soul of Artifice

At 20th level, you develop a mystical connection to your magic items, which you can draw on for protection:

• You gain a +1 bonus to all saving throws per magic item you are currently attuned to.
• If you're reduced to 0 hit points but not killed out-right, you can use your reaction to end one of your artificer infusions, causing you to drop to 1 hit point instead of 0.

Artificer Specialist

Artificers pursue many disciplines, some create simple inventions and others surrond every aspect of their being in artifice.

Alchemist

An Alchemist is an expert at combining reagents to produce mystical effects. Alchemists use their creations to give life and to leech it away. Alchemy is the oldest of artificer traditions, and its versatility has long been valued by all.

Tool Proficiency

When you adopt this specialization at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with alchemist's supplies. If you already have this proficiency, you gain proficiency with one other type of artisan's tools of your choice.

Alchemist Spells

Starting at 3rd level, you always have certain spells prepared after you reach particular levels in this class, as shown in the Alchemist Spells table. These spells count as artificer spells for you, but they don’t count against the number of artificer spells you prepare.

Alchemist Spells

Artificer Level	Alchemist Spells
3rd	Healing word, Ray of sickness
5th	Flaming sphere, Melf's acid arrow
9th	Gaseous form, Mass healing word
13th	Blight, Death ward
17th	Cloudkill, Raise dead

Experimental Elixir

Beginning at 3rd level, whenever you finish a long rest, you can magically produce an experimental elixir in an empty flask you touch. Roll on the Experimental Elixir table for the elixir's effect, which is triggered when someone drinks the elixir. As an action, a creature can drink the elixir or administer it to an incapacitated creature.

---

You can create additional experimental elixirs by expending a spell slot of 1st level or higher for each one. When you do so, you use your action to create the elixir in an empty flask you touch, and you choose the elixir's effect from the Experimental Elixir table.

---

Creating an experimental elixir requires you to have alchemist supplies on your person, and any elixir you create with this feature lasts until it is drunk or until the end of your next long rest.

---

When you reach certain levels in this class, you can make more elixirs at the end of a long rest: two at 6th level and three at 15th level. Roll for each elixir's effect separately. Each elixir requires its own flask.

Experimental Elixir

d6	Effect
1	Healing. The drinker regains a number of hit points equal to 2d4 + your Intelligence Modifier
2	Swiftness. The drinker's walking speed increases by 10 feet for 1 hour.
3	Resilience. The drinker gains a +1 bonus to AC for 10 minutes.
4	Boldness. The drinker can roll a d4 and add the number rolled to every attack roll and saving throw they make for the next minute.
5	Flight. The drinker gains a flying speed of 10 feet for 10 minutes.
6	Transformation. The drinker's body is transformed as if by the Alter self spell. The drinker determines the transformation caused by the spell, the effects of which last for 10 minutes.

Alchemical Savant

At 5th level, you've developed masterful command of magical chemicals, enhancing the healing and damage you create through them. Whenever you cast a spell using your alchemist's supplies as the spellcasting focus, you gain a bonus to one roll of the spell. That roll must restore hit points or be a damage roll that deals acid, fire, necrotic, or poison damage, and the bonus equals your Intelligence modifier (minimum of +1).

Restorative Reagents

Starting at 9th level, you can incorporate restorative reagents into some of your works:

• Whenever a creature drinks an experimental elixir you created, the creature gains temporary hit points equal to 2d6 + your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1 temporary hit point).
• You can cast Lesser restoration without expending a spell slot and without preparing the spell, provided you use alchemist's supplies as the spellcasting focus. You can do so a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Chemical Mastery

By 15th level, you have been exposed to so many chemicals that they pose little risk to you, and you can use them to quickly end certain ailments:

• You gain resistance to acid damage and poison damage, and you are now immune to the poisoned condition.
• You can cast Greater restoration and Heal without expending a spell slot, without preparing the spell, and without providing the material component, provided you use alchemist’s supplies as the spellcasting focus. Once you cast either spell with this feature, you can't cast that spell with it again until you finish a long rest.

Armorer

An artificer who specializes as an Armorer modifies armor to function almost like a second skin. The armor is enhanced to hone the artificer's magic, unleash potent attacks, and generate a formidable defense. The artificer bonds with this armor, becoming one with it even as they experiment with it and refine its magical capabilities.

Tools of the Trade

When you adopt this specialization at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with heavy armor. You also gain proficiency with smith's tools. If you already have this tool proficiency, you gain proficiency with one other type of artisan's tools of your choice.

Armorer Spells

Starting at 3rd level, you always have certain spells prepared after you reach particular levels in this class, as shown in the Armorer Spells table. These spells count as artificer spells for you, but they don't count against the number of artificer spells you prepare.

Armorer Spells

Armorer Level	Armorer Spells
3rd	Magic missle, Thunderwave
5th	Mirror image, Shatter
9th	Hypnotic pattern, Lightning bolt
13th	Fire shield, Greater invisibility
17th	Passwall, Wall of force

Arcane Armor

Beginning at 3rd level, your metallurgical pursuits have led to you making armor a conduit for your magic. As an action, you can turn a suit of armor you are wearing into Arcane Armor, provided you have smith's tools in hand.

---

You gain the following benefits while wearing this armor:

• If the armor normally has a Strength requirement, the arcane armor lacks this requirement for you.
• You can use the arcane armor as a spellcasting focus for your artificer spells.
• The armor attaches to you and can’t be removed against your will. It also expands to cover your entire body, although you can retract or deploy the helmet as a bonus action. The armor replaces any missing limbs, functioning identically to a body part it is replacing.
• You can doff or don the armor as an action.

---

The armor continues to be Arcane Armor until you don another suit of armor or you die.

Armor Model

Beginning at 3rd level, you can customize your Arcane Armor. When you do so, choose one of the following armor models: Guardian or Infiltrator. The model you choose gives you special benefits while you wear it.

---

Each model includes a special weapon. When you attack with that weapon, you can add your Intelligence modifier, instead of Strength or Dexterity, to the attack and damage rolls.

---

You can change the armor's model whenever you finish a short or long rest, provided you have smith's tools in hand.

---

Guardian. You design your armor to be in the front line of conflict. It has the following features:

• Thunder Gauntlets. Each of the armor's gauntlets counts as a simple melee weapon while you aren't holding anything in it, and it deals 1d8 thunder damage on a hit. A creature hit by the gauntlet has disadvantage on attack rolls against targets other than you until the start of your next turn, as the armor magically emits a distracting pulse when the creature attacks someone else.
• Defensive Field. As a bonus action, you can gain temporary hit points equal to your level in this class, replacing any temporary hit points you already have. You lose these temporary hit points if you doff the armor. You can use this bonus action a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

---

Infiltrator. You customize your armor for subtle undertakings. It has the following features:

• Lightning Launcher. A gemlike node appears on one of your armored fists or on the chest (your choice). It counts as a simple ranged weapon, with a normal range of 90 feet and a long range of 300 feet, and it deals 1d6 lightning damage on a hit. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with it, you can deal an extra 1d6 lightning damage to that target.
• Powered Steps. Your walking speed increases by 5 feet.
• Dampening Field. You have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks. If the armor normally imposes disadvantage on such checks, the advantage and disadvantage cancel each other, as normal.

Extra Attack

Starting at 5th level, you can attack twice, rather than once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

Armor Modifications

At 9th level, you learn how to use your artificer infusions to specially modify your Arcane Armor. That armor now counts as separate items for the purposes of your Infuse Items feature: armor (the chest piece), boots, helmet, and the armor's special weapon. Each of those items can bear one of your infusions, and the infusions transfer over if you change your armor's model with the Armor Model feature. In addition, the maximum number of items you can infuse at once increases by 2, but those extra items must be part of your Arcane Armor.

Perfected Armor

At 15th level, your Arcane Armor gains additional benefits based on its model, as shown below.

---

Guardian. When a Huge or smaller creature you can see ends its turn within 30 feet of you, you can use your reaction to magically force it to make a Strength saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failed save, you pull the creature up to 25 feet directly to an unoccupied space. If you pull the target to a space within 5 feet of you, you can make a melee weapon attack against it as part of this reaction.

---

You can use this reaction a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses of it when you finish a long rest.

---

Infiltrator. Any creature that takes lightning damage from your Lightning Launcher glimmers with magical light until the start of your next turn. The glimmering creature sheds dim light in a 5-foot radius, and it has disadvantage on attack rolls against you, as the light jolts it if it attacks you. In addition, the next attack roll against it has advantage, and if that attack hits, the target takes an extra 1d6 lightning damage.

Artillerist

An Artillerist specializes in using magic to hurl energy, projectiles, and explosions on a battlefield. This destructive power is valued by armies in the wars on many different worlds. And when war passes, some members of this specialization seek to build a more peaceful world by using their powers to fight the resurgence of strife. The world-hopping gnome artificer Vi has been especially vocal about making things right: "It's about time we fixed things instead of blowing them all to hell."

Tool Proficiency

When you adopt this specialization at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with woodcarver's tools. If you already have this proficiency, you gain proficiency with one other type of artisan's tools of your choice.

Artillerist Spells

Starting at 3rd level, you always have certain spells prepared after you reach particular levels in this class, as shown in the Artillerist Spells table. These spells count as artificer spells for you, but they don’t count against the number of artificer spells you prepare.

Armorer Spells

Armorer Level	Armorer Spells

Eldritch Cannon

Also at 3rd level, you've learned how to create a magical cannon. Using woodcarver's tools or smith's tools, you can take an action to magically create a Small or Tiny eldritch cannon in an unoccupied space on a horizontal surface within 5 feet of you. A Small eldritch cannon occupies its space, and a Tiny one can be held in one hand. Once you create a cannon, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest or until you expend a spell slot to create one. You can have only one cannon at a time and can't create one while your cannon is present.

---

The cannon is a magical object. Regardless of size, the cannon has an AC of 18 and a number of hit points equal to five times your artificer level. It is immune to poison damage and psychic damage. If it is forced to make an ability check or a saving throw, treat all its ability scores as 10 (+0). If the mending spell is cast on it, it regains 2d6 hit points. It disappears if it is reduced to 0 hit points or after 1 hour. You can dismiss it early as an action.

---

When you create the cannon, you determine its appearance and whether it has legs. You also decide which type it is, choosing from the options on the Eldritch Cannons table. On each of your turns, you can take a bonus action to cause the cannon to activate if you are within 60 feet of it. As part of the same bonus action, you can direct the cannon to walk or climb up to 15 feet to an unoccupied space, provided it has legs.

Eldritch Cannon

Cannon	Activation
Flamethrower	The cannon exhales fire in an adjacent 15-foot cone that you designate. Each creature in that area must make a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC, taking 2d8 fire damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one. The fire ignites any flammable objects in the area that aren't being worn or carried.
Force Ballista	Make a ranged spell attack, originating from the cannon, at one creature or object within 120 feet of it. On a hit, the target takes 2d8 force damage, and if the target is a creature, it is pushed up to 5 feet away from the cannon.
Protector	The cannon emits a burst of positive energy that grants itself and each creature of your choice within 10 feet of it a number of temporary hit points equal to 1d8 + your Intelligence modifier (minimum of +1).

Arcane Firearm

At 5th level, You know how to turn a wand, staff, or rod into an arcane firearm, a conduit for your destructive spells. When you finish a long rest, you can use woodcarver's tools to carve special sigils into a wand, staff, or rod and thereby turn it into your arcane firearm. The sigils disappear from the object if you later carve them on a different item. The sigils otherwise last indefinitely.

---

You can use your arcane firearm as a spellcasting focus for your artificer spells. When you cast an artificer spell through the firearm, roll a d8, and you gain a bonus to one of the spell's damage rolls equal to the number rolled.

Explosive Cannon

Starting at 9th level, every eldritch cannon you create is more destructive:

• The cannon's damage rolls all increase by 1d8.
• As an action, you can command the cannon to detonate if you are within 60 feet of it. Doing so destroys the cannon and forces each creature within 20 feet of it to make a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC, taking 3d8 force damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one.

Fortified Position

By 15th level, you’re a master at forming well-defended emplacements using Eldritch Cannon:

• You and your allies have half cover while within 10 feet of a cannon you create with Eldritch Cannon, as a result of a shimmering field of magical protection that the cannon emits.
• You can now have two cannons at the same time. You can create two with the same action (but not the same spell slot), and you can activate both of them with the same bonus action. You determine whether the cannons are identical to each other or different. You can't create a third cannon while you have two.

Battle Smith

Armies require protection, and someone has to put things back together if defenses fail. A combination of protector and medic, a Battle Smith is an expert at defending others and repairing both materiel and personnel. To aid in their work, Battle Smiths are accompanied by a steel defender, a protective companion of their own creation. Many soldiers tell stories of nearly dying before being saved by a Battle Smith and a steel defender.

Tool Proficiency

When you adopt this specialization at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with smith's tools. If you already have this proficiency, you gain proficiency with one other type of artisan's tools of your choice.

Battle Smith Spells

Starting at 3rd level, you always have certain spells prepared after you reach particular levels in this class, as shown in the Battle Smith Spells table. These spells count as artificer spells for you, but they don’t count against the number of artificer spells you prepare.

Battle Smith Spells

Battle Smith Level	Battle Smith Spells
3rd	Heroism, Shield
5th	Branding smite, Warding bond
9th	Aura of vitality, Conjure barrage
13th	Aura of purity, Fire shield
17th	Banishing smite, Mass cure wounds

Battle Ready

When you reach 3rd level, your combat training and your experiments with magic have paid off in two ways:

• You gain proficiency with martial weapons.
• When you attack with a magic weapon, you can use your Intelligence modifier, instead of Strength or Dexterity modifier, for the attack and damage rolls.

Steel Defender

By 3rd level, your tinkering has borne you a faithful companion, a steel defender. It's friendly to you and your companions, and it obeys your commands. See its game statistics in the Steel Defender stat block, which uses your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places. You determine the creature's appearance and whether it has two legs or four; your choice has no effect on its game statistics.

---

In combat, the defender shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. If you are incapacitated, the defender can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge.

---

If the Mending spell is cast on it, it regains 2d6 hit points. If it has died within the last hour, you can use your smith's tools as an action to revive it, provided you are within 5 feet of it and you expend a spell slot of 1st level or higher. The steel defender returns to life after 1 minute with all its hit points restored.

---

At the end of a long rest, you can create a new steel defender if you have smith's tools with you. If you already have a defender from this feature, the first one immediately perishes. The defender also perishes if you die.

---

Repair (3/Day). The magical mechanisms inside the defender restore 2d8 + PB hit points to itself or to one construct or object within 5 feet of it.

Reactions

Deflect Attack. The defender imposes disadvantage on the attack roll of one creature it can see that is within 5 feet of it, provided the attack roll is against a creature other than the defender.

Extra Attack

Starting at 5th level, you can attack twice, rather than once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

Arcane Jolt

At 9th level, you've learn new ways to channel arcane energy to harm or heal. When either you hit a target with a magic weapon attack or your steel defender hits a target, you can channel magical energy through the strike to create one of the following effects:

• The target takes an extra 2d6 force damage.
• Choose one creature or object you can see within 30 feet of the target. Healing energy flows into the chosen recipient, restoring 2d6 hit points to it.

---

You can use this energy a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of once), but you can do so no more than once on a turn. You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Improved Defender

At 15th level, your Arcane Jolt and steel defender become more powerful:

• The extra damage and the healing of your Arcane Jolt both increase to 4d6.
• Your steel defender gains a +2 bonus to Armor Class.
• Whenever your steel defender uses its Deflect Attack, the attacker takes force damage equal to 1d4 + your Intelligence modifier.

Forge Adept

As a Forge Adept, you carry on ancient artificer traditions, creating mystical weapons and armor, strengthening allies on the battlefield, and bringing down enemies with weapons imbued with your own soul energy.

Tool Proficiency

When you adopt this specialization at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with smith’s tools. If you already have this proficiency, you gain proficiency with one other type of artisan’s tools of your choice.

Forge Adept Spells

Starting at 3rd level, you always have certain spells prepared after you reach particular levels in this class, as shown in the Forge Adept Spells table. These spells count as artificer spells for you, but they don’t count against the number of artificer spells you prepare.

Forge Adept Spells

Forge Adept Level	Forge Adept Spells
3rd	Armor of agathys, Shield of faith
5th	Spiritual weapon, Warding bond
9th	Beacon of hope, Remove curse

17th	Banishing smite, Wall of force

Battle Ready

Beginning at 3rd level, you’re skilled in fighting side-by-side with your companions on the field of battle. You gain proficiency with martial weapons. Additionally, when you attack with a magic weapon, you can use your Intelligence modifier, instead of Strength or Dexterity, for the attack and damage rolls.

Soul Blade

At 3rd level, you learn to imbue a weapon with a fraction of your spirit. Imbuing your weapon works like infusing an item, but does not count toward your maximum number of infused items. When you finish a long rest, you can touch a magic or nonmagical simple or martial melee weapon, which becomes your soul blade.

Once imbued, your soul blade is a magic weapon that grants a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls, unless the base weapon you imbued already grants a higher bonus. This bonus increases when you reach certain levels in this class, increasing to +2 at 8th level and +3 at 13th level. If the weapon you imbued has the thrown property, it returns to your hand immediately after it is used to make a ranged attack.

---

Your soul blade’s benefits remain until the weapon is destroyed or until you use this ability to imbue a new item with this power. Other creatures can’t benefit from your soul blade’s powers, and to them, it functions as the unimbued weapon did.

Extra Attack

Starting at 5th level, you can attack twice, rather than once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

Runes of War

At 9th level, you gain the ability to enhance the weapons of your squad, targeting the damage to the weakness of your enemies. As an action, you can activate an aura that extends from you in a 30-foot radius. The aura moves with you, centered on you, and lasts for 1 minute or until your concentration ends (as if you were casting a spell).

---

When you activate this aura, choose one of the following damage types: acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder. Each creature of your choice in the aura deals an extra 1d4 damage of the chosen type when it hits with a weapon attack.

---

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses after a long rest.

Perfect Weapon

At 15th level, you learn how to imbue your soul blade with additional power, and how to draw on it in time of need. The first time you attack with your soul blade on your turn, you can transfer some or all of its bonus to your armor class, instead of using the bonus on any attacks that turn. For every 1 you reduce your attack and damage rolls by, you gain +1 to your AC. As long as you continue holding your soul blade, the AC bonus remains in effect until the start of your next turn.

---

Additionally, when you finish a long rest, you can select one of the following benefits. Until you finish your next long rest, you gain the selected benefit whenever you’re holding your soul blade:

• You have resistance to psychic damage, and you can’t be charmed or frightened.
• You use your soul blade to channel the elements. When you select this ability, select one of the following damage types: acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder. When you hit with your soul blade, the target takes an extra 1d6 damage of the chosen type.

---

The homunculus is friendly to you and your companions, and it obeys your commands. See this creature's game statistics in the Homunculus Servant stat block, which uses your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places.

Those carrying this Mark are a cursed existence, only being able to unleash their true power by undergoing an agonizing transformation. Power and defense are given in return for their very bodies being torn apart and sewn back together as something terrifying.

Bloody Quills

Starting at 3rd level, your body is protected by a layer of hard quills. These quills replace your Drain Soul class feature. At the start of each of your turns, you gain a number of temporary hit points equal to your Cultist level. Whenever you are hit by a melee attack while you have temporary hit points the attacker takes 1d6 piercing damage and must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failure you gain 2 Reaped Souls, halved on a success. Any target that is affected by this gains the Pierced condition, which ends when the creature uses its action to make a successful Constitution saving throw to try and remove the quills.

---

You can also use your reaction when you are hit by a melee attack to gain the temporary hit points again. You can use this reaction a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier. You regain all uses of this reaction after you complete a long rest.

The damage increases to 2d6 and 3 Reaped Souls when you reach 5th level Cultist, 3d6 and 4 Reaped Souls at 10th level Cultist, 4d6 and 5 Reaped Souls at 15th level Cultist, and 5d6 and 6 Reaped Souls at 20th level Cultist.

• Your Bloody Quills ability, and reaction, also works against spells and ranged attacks.

• Each creature that starts its turn within 15 feet of the Black Hole must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be pulled 5 feet towards the center of the Black Hole and have their speed set to 0 until the end of their turn.
• The area within 30 feet of the Black Hole is considered difficult terrain.
• At the start of each of your turns, the Black Hole can pull one or more Hearts of a Dying Star into it, destroying them. If the Black Hole pulls in more than one Heart of a Dying Star its size increases by 5 feet, up to a maximum size of Huge.

Spell Casting

By the time you reach 2nd level, you have learned to use the magical essence of nature to cast spells, much as a druid does.

Spell Slots

The Ranger 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 two 1st-level spells of your choice from the ranger spell list.

You can use a druidic focus as a spellcasting focus for your ranger spells. A druidic focus might be a sprig of mistletoe or holly, a wand or rod made of yew or another special wood, a staff drawn whole from a living tree, or an object incorporating feathers, fur, bones, and teeth from sacred animals.

Ranger Spell List

This is the list of spells you consult when you learn a ranger spell. This list is organized by spell level, not class level.

Ranger Conclave

At 3rd level, you choose to emulate the ideals and training of a ranger conclave. Your choice grants you features at 3rd level and again at 5th, 7th, 11th, and 15th level.

Primal Awareness

Starting at 3rd level, you can focus your awareness through the interconnections of nature: you learn additional spells when you reach certain levels in this class if you don’t already know them, as shown in the Primal Awareness Spells table. These spells don’t count against the number of ranger spells you know.

Primal Awareness

Level	Spell
3rd	Speak with animals
5th	Beast sense
9th	Speak with plants
13th	Locate creature
17th	Commune with nature

You can cast each of these spells once without expending a spell slot. Once you cast a spell in this way, you can’t do so again until you finish a long rest.

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.

---

Using the optional feats rule, you can forgo taking this feature to take a feat of your choice instead.

Fleet of Foot

Starting at 8th level, moving through nonmagical difficult terrain costs you no extra movement. You can also pass through nonmagical plants without being slowed by them and without taking damage from them if they have thorns, spines, or a similar hazard.

---

In addition, you have advantage on saving throws against plants that are magically created or manipulated to impede movement, such those created by the Entangle spell.

Natures Vail

At 10th level, you can draw on the powers of nature to hide yourself from view briefly. As a bonus action, you can magically become invisible, along with any equipment you are wearing or carrying, until the start of your next turn.

---

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Vanish

Starting at 14th level, you can use the Hide action as a bonus action on your turn. Also, you can’t be tracked by nonmagical means, unless you choose to leave a trail.

Feral Senses

At 18th level, you gain preternatural senses that help you fight creatures you can’t see. When you attack a creature you can’t see, your inability to see it doesn’t impose disadvantage on your attack rolls against it. You are also aware of the location of any invisible creature within 30 feet of you, provided that the creature isn’t hidden from you and you aren’t blinded or deafened.

Foe Slayer

At 20th level, you become an unparalleled hunter. Once on each of your turns, you can add your Wisdom modifier to the attack roll or the damage roll of an attack you make. You can choose to use this feature before or after the roll, but before any effects of the roll are applied.

Ranger Conclave

Across the wilds, rangers come together to form conclaves—loose associations whose members share a similar outlook on how to protect nature from those who would despoil it.

Beast Conclave

Many rangers are more at home in the wilds than in civilization, to the point where animals consider them kin. Rangers of the Beast Conclave develop a close bond with a beast, then further strengthen that bond through the use of magic.

Animal Companion

At 3rd level, you magically summon a primal beast, which draws strength from your bond with nature. The beast is friendly to you and your companions and obeys your commands. Choose its stat block: Beast of the Land, Beast of the Sea, or Beast of the Sky. These stat blocks use your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places. You also determine the kind of animal the beast is, choosing a kind appropriate for the stat block. Whatever kind you choose, the beast bears primal markings, indicating its mystical origin. In combat, the beast acts during your turn. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. You can also sacrifice one of your attacks when you take the Attack action to command the beast to take the Attack action. If you are incapacitated or absent, the beast can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge. If the beast has died within the last hour, you can use your action to touch it and expend a spell slot of 1st level or higher. The beast returns to life after 1 minute with all its hit points restored. When you finish a long rest, you can summon a different primal beast. The new beast appears in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of you, and you choose its stat block and appearance. If you already have a beast from this feature, it vanishes when the new beast appears. The beast also vanishes if you die.

Coordinated Attack

Beginning at 5th level, you and your animal companion form a more potent fighting team. When you use the Attack action on your turn, if your companion can see you, it can use its reaction to make a melee attack.

Beast’s Defense

At 7th level, while your companion can see you, it has advantage on all saving throws.

Storm of Claws and Fangs

At 11th level, your companion can use its action to make a melee attack against each creature of its choice within 5 feet of it, with a separate attack roll for each target.

Superior Beast’s Defense

At 15th level, whenever an attacker that your companion can see hits it with an attack, it can use its reaction to halve the attack’s damage against it.

Drakewarden

Your connection to the natural world takes the form of a draconic spirit, which can manifest in physical form as a drake.

Along the way, you gain an increasing share of the awe-inspiring power of dragons.

---

The drake is friendly to you and your companions, and it obeys your commands. See its game statistics in the accompanying Drake Companion stat block, which uses your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places. Whenever you summon the drake, choose a damage type listed in its Draconic Essence trait. You can determine the cosmetic characteristics of the drake, such as its color, its scale texture, or any visible effect of its Draconic Essence; your choice has no effect on its game statistics.

---

In combat, the drake shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. If you are incapacitated, the drake can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge.

The drake remains until it is reduced to 0 hit points, until you use this feature to summon the drake again, or until you die. Anything the drake was wearing or carrying is left behind when the drake vanishes.

---

Once you summon the drake, you can’t do so again until you finish a long rest, unless you expend a spell slot of 1st level or higher to summon it.

Bond of Fang and Scale

At 7th level the bond you share with your drake intensifies, protecting you and stoking the drake’s fury. When you summon your drake, it grows wings on its back and gains a flying speed equal to its walking speed. In addition, while your drake is summoned, you and the drake gain the following benefits:

• Drake Mount. The drake grows to Medium size. Reflecting your special bond, you can use the drake as a mount if your size is Medium or smaller. While you are riding your drake, it can’t use the flying speed of this feature.
• Magic Fang. The drake’s Bite attack deals an extra 1d6 damage of the type chosen for the drake’s Draconic Essence.
• Resistance. You gain resistance to the damage type chosen for the drake’s Draconic Essence.

Drake’s Breath

At 11th level, as an action, you can exhale a 30-foot cone of damaging breath or cause your drake to exhale it. Choose acid, cold, fire, lightning, or poison damage (your choice doesn’t have to match your drake’s Draconic Essence). Each creature in the cone must make a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC, taking 8d6 damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

---

This damage increases to 10d6 when you reach 15th level in this class.

---

Once you use this feature, you can’t do so again until you finish a long rest, unless you expend a spell slot of 3rd level or higher to use it again.

• Empowered Bite. The drake’s Bite attack deals an extra 1d6 damage of the type chosen for its Draconic Essence (for a total of 2d6 extra damage).
• Large Drake. The drake grows to Large size. When you ride your drake, it is no longer prohibited from using the flying speed of Bond of Fang and Scale.
• Reflexive Resistance. When either you or the drake takes damage while you’re within 30 feet of each other, you can use your reaction to give yourself or the drake resistance to that instance of damage. You can use this reaction a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Fey Wanderer

A fey mystique surrounds you, thanks to the boon of an archfey, the shining fruit you ate from a talking tree, the magic spring you swam in, or some other auspicious event. However you acquired your fey magic, you are now a Fey Wanderer, a ranger who represents both the mortal and the fey realms. As you wander the multiverse, your joyful laughter brightens the hearts of the downtrodden, and your martial prowess strikes terror in your foes, for great is the mirth of the fey and dreadful is their fury.

Dreadful Strikes

At 3rd level, you can augment your weapon strikes with mind-scarring magic, drawn from the gloomy hollows of the Feywild. When you hit a creature with a weapon, you can deal an extra 1d4 psychic damage to the target, which can take this extra damage only once per turn.

If the save fails, the target is charmed or frightened by you (your choice) for 1 minute. The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a successful save.

Fey Reinforcements

At 11th level, the royal courts of the Feywild have blessed you with the assistance of fey beings: you know the spell Summon Fey. It doesn't count against the number of ranger spells you know, and you can cast it without a material component. You can also cast it once without using a spell slot, and you regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest.

Other Swarmkeepers enjoy building vibrant communities that work for the mutual benefit of all those they consider part of their swarm.

Firearms

Basics

To be able to use a gun to its fullest a character must be proficient in Firearms. When a character who is proficient in firearms uses a gun, the character can add its Dexterity modifier and its proficiency bonus to any attack rolls made with firearms. Firearms and/or its ammo can be enchanted up to a +3 bonus, making its damage magical.

Reload

Each gun has its own reload score. This score is the number of times a gun can be fired before it will need to be reloaded. A creature can use an attack or a bonus action to reload a weapon. You must have one free hand to reload a firearm.

Misfire

Whenever a character rolls a 1 on an attack roll with a d20 their gun will misfire, causing the attack to miss its target and rendering the gun broken and no longer able to fire. Once a gun has misfired a creature can use its action to repair the gun. If the creature is not proficient in Firearms, they must have a set of tinkers tools or smiths tools and pass a DC 20 check with their respective tool to do so.

Gun Crafting

Crafting guns and ammo is a long and arduous task. Only the brightest artificers and most experienced smiths can create guns fit for an adventurer. Depending on what setting you are playing in, gunsmiths might be easier to come across than others. Ebberon might have many gunsmiths while The Forgotten Realms gunsmiths might be exclusively found on Lantan. The above chart shows the appropriate prices for each type of gun.

---

Ammo, depending on your setting, might be bought and sold at some high-end adventuring supplies shops or from a well-trained smith. Use the above chart to find the appropriate prices and amount for each type of ammo. Ammo is unique to each specific type of gun; for example if you have ammo for a Blunderbuss, you can’t use it for your Musket, you would need to purchase or craft Musket ammo.

---

If a player wishes to craft his/her own guns and ammo, there are a few requirements they must meet first to begin the process. They must be proficient in both Firearms and Smith’s tools, have access to a forge or some other place to heat the metal for shaping, an anvil, and they must have an assortment of raw materials equal to the total gold cost of the item they wish to craft. To determine the amount of time needed to craft any gun or piece of ammo use the crafting system rules laid out in Chapter 5 of this book.

Were-creature system

When a character becomes afflicted with the lycanthropy curse they will enter a 1d4 day incubation period. During this incubation period, the character will start to show signs of their curse as it begins to transform them into their appropriate were-creature. The only known way to remove the curse is to be placed under the effects of a remove curse or greater restoration spell during the incubation period. Once the incubation period is over the character will have fully transformed into their were-creature animal form and will be stuck in this form until the character passes a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw. This save is made each day at midnight and the DC goes down by 1 for each night that has passed since the end of the incubation period. Once the character has passed the Wisdom saving throw they have gained full control of their lycanthropy and can use its action to transform into its hybrid form or creature form or back to your true form. When in each of your different forms you gain certain benefits listed below based on which creature you can transform into.

---

When you transform into your hybrid or creature form you retain all your ability scores, proficiencies, health, and you also gain all the benefits listed below for your specific creature. If your hybrid or animal form gives you a speed, such as a walking speed of 40 feet, this new speed replaces your current speed, regardless if it is higher or lower than your current speed. When you transform into your creature form you lose the ability to speak, use class features, and cast spells. You are limited by what your specific creature can do normally. Any equipment you are wearing or carrying is not transformed with you, and falls to the ground unless you choose otherwise. If you die while transformed you revert back to your true form.

---

If an afflicted player ever stands under the light of a full moon, without some sort of covering or shelter, they must immediately flip a coin and on tails, they immediately change into their animal form and cant change out of it until the next dawn. If a player wants to revert back earlier they can do so after taking 1d4 levels of exhaustion.

---

• Optional Insanity Rule: If a player fails the coin flip they must also make a Wisdom saving throw (DC 15 + their Wisdom saving throw modifier) and on a failure they go insane as their curse takes control of their body. An insane character goes under the control of the DM until they revert out of their animal form.

Crafting system

Crafting is something every adventurer dreams about, but very few see their crazy ideas come to life. To rein in the chaos of crafting crazy ideas, we have created a set of guidelines that should allow for simple ideas to be made easily, and crazy outlandish ones to see the light of day, even if they are only one-use.

---

If purchasing an item is not possible, then crafting is the next best way for any character to obtain an item, whether it be mundane or magical, that they have their eyes set on. Crafting can be broken down into two basic principles, do you know how to craft the item and do you have the materials to craft the item.

Materials

Materials for crafting can be found in every corner of any setting. They can be purchased from a shop, looted from a wizard's lair, stolen from a wealthy merchant, or skinned off a great beast's hide. The important thing to keep in mind is that you have the correct materials for what it is you wish to craft. Crafting an item from improper materials could lead to disastrous results at a crucial moment in your adventures. Any materials gathered by a character should be tracked in their inventory by their raw price in gold, as the crafting cost of items is tracked by a total gold cost. Determining the raw price of the materials a character finds is up to the DM, but discussing with the player what it is they wish to craft could aid in finalizing the value of the acquired materials.

Recipes

Having the knowledge to craft weapons and items is an essential skill for any adventurer. You could use your knowledge to create new tools for your party, or you could sell your knowledge to others who wish to learn. Any item a player can craft, whether they are magical or mundane, is broken down into tiers, which are listed below.

Recipe Tiers

Tier	Requierd Intelligance
Novice	11
Apprentice	13
Expert	15
Artisan	17
Master	19

---

Any character who meets the required intelligence for each item tier, as shown above, has the knowledge and understanding to craft any item in that tier, whether it is from having learned the recipe sometime in the past or being intelligent enough to guess how to craft it.

---

Even if a character isn't in the appropriate crafting tier, they can still learn recipies above their crafting tier. To do this a character must either spend gold to purchase a physical crafting recipie, or must spend time learning from another character who knows the how to craft the item. The following chart shows how much time/gold a recipie from each tier takes.

Recipe Costs

Tier	Time	Gold Cost
Novice	4 hours	10 gp
Apprentice	8 hours	25 gp
Expert	12 hours	100 gp
Artisan	24 hours	250 gp
Master	48 hours	500 gp

---

If a character wishes to craft a basic item not listed in the recipe tiers, such as a broom, then the DM should work with that player to best determine what tier it belongs in and the total cost of the unique item.

Crafting time

The time it takes to craft an item is based on the crafting cost of said item, which is equal to 80% of its vendor sell price. Typically, a character crafts at a speed of 6 + your Intelligence modifier gp per hour. If the time comes up as a fraction always round down to the next whole hour, even if the fraction is one-half or greater. During this time the character must have access to the required tools and crafting stations, such as a forge or an anvil, and be proficient with them. If one of these components is missing, then work cannot be done on the item.

---

Crafting time can be reduced in a few ways. The easiest way is to receive assistance from another character when crafting an item. This character must also be proficient in any required tools, but only one set of tools and crafting stations are required for the completion of the item. The following table shows the gp per hour increase provided by any number of additional characters, which is added to the base of 6 gp per hour.

Crafting time with assistance

Additional characters	Total gp per hour incrase
1	4
2	6
3-4	7
5-7	8
8+	9

---

Artificers are very adept at crafting do their crafting times are much lower than a non-artificers. At 2nd level, artificers gain the Expert Crafter ability which allows them to add their proficiency bonus to their crafting speed.

Magic item crafting

Crafting magic items is a long and difficult process, but with the aid of your enchanter's tools you can craft anything from simple healing potions to holy avengers. The crafting cost of a magic item is determined by the DM based on the item's strength and or rarity within the setting.

---

The total cost of crafting magic items is very high and might require specific rare materials found only out in the world. These rare materials are determined by the DM based on the item the character wishes to craft, for instance, if they wish to craft a flame tongue the character might need to acquire the heart of a Salamander. The DM might also require mass amounts of mundane materials, like steel, to meet the high gold cost of the crafted item, even if they exceed the actual amount of steel that is needed for the item. These large amounts of materials are refined into a more magical form of the material through the use of enchanter's tools. The enchanter's tools are used alongside mundane crafting tools, like Smith's tools, to facilitate the crafting of any magical item. Determining what tools are required to craft any magic item are determined by the DM.

---

If a character wishes to craft a magic item not in the Expert, Artisan, or Master tier they must meet a few additional requirements. First, they need to have an intelligence score of 20 to be able to understand the complex nature of very rare and legendary magic items. Second, they must be taught how to craft the item over a period of time determined by the DM based on the item's rarity, complexity, and the teacher's skill level. They could also acquire a recipe for the item, which could be a tome found in an artificer's workshop, a scroll taken from a wizard's lair, or purchased from a rare goods vendor. Once the recipe has been learned then the character knows how to craft that specific magic item.

Custom Item Crafting

explain how to combine magic items/ maybe even unique items

Crafting Checks

add a crafting check system where every X hours you have worked make a check and based on the roll reduce the remaining time by a given ammount (or increase if nat 1)

The Cloakwood Gnomes

We gnomes of Erbag have called the Cloakwood our home for thousands of years. It is not well known how we first came to the Cloakwood, but some believe we were born from six emeralds Garl Glittergold accidentally dropped within the forest while battling Kurtulmak. From these emeralds came six gnomes, a Hallowspark, a Greenleaf, a Blackwood, a Goldpoint, a Fiddlegem, and their leader Ipakas. These gnomes went on to found the city of Erbag hidden deep within the Cloakwood. Over the next 4500 years, Erbag withstood dangerous fae, invading humans, and catastrophic disasters; up until the late 15th century DR. During the rule of Ipakas XI he became afflicted with a mysterious curse. The curse slowly withered Ipakas until it killed him on the 31st of Highsun in 1492 DR. With our leader gone the five houses, with the aid of the Longrock gnomes from Lantan, worked on a solution to end the curse plaguing all of Toril. Together, we created a device, using what we learned from Ipakas XI’s affliction, that could locate the source of the curse.

The City of Erbag

Located near the northwestern tip of the Cloakwood. Erbag is a small, tight-knit gnomish community that has its roots going all the way back to around -3000 DR. Erbag has seen very little advancements since then which keeps us rooted in our traditions. The local fey inhabitants of the Cloakwood have always caused problems for our village but we had many creative solutions to combat them. Our most effective method was to use our innate illusion magic to trick the fey into fleeing from our village. Erbag itself is a very small village made up of 5 very large trees where we carved our homes into. Our village also has two constructed buildings, our town hall and the Longrock Embassy. Our town hall served as the home to our Keeper, Ipakas. It is also where we gathered for our holidays and feasts. The Longrock Embassy is a very recent addition to our village having been constructed just after the beginning of the death curse. The embassy remains in use and it helps connect us to our fellow gnomes in Lantan. Erbag has always been very self-sufficient and interacted very little with the rest of the sword coast, but some things we could now do completely on our own. Some materials or supplies we could not produce on our own so our Outriders would manage their acquisition from the nearby towns and villages. The Outriders was set up by Ipakas V and consists of 5 members, each member being from a different house. Every 10 years the Outriders hold elections to decide the next group of 5, but most of the members are reelected until they are no longer able to serve.

Ipakas, Keeper of Erbag

Our leader, Ipakas, is the heart and soul of Erbag. He has been our leader since the very beginning of Erbags existence, due to his continuous reincarnations through his emerald which has retained its magic. With each incarnation, Ipakas brings new ideas and ways of leading our people into the future. The current incarnation of him, Ipakas XII, is the reason you have this book.

Houses of Erbag

Erbag has a population of around 150 gnomes, and each of them are members of 1 of the 5 houses. Each house is led by its eldest member. All 5 houses serve spacific roles for Erbag.

The Longrock Embassy

Ever since the rule of Ipakas IV, we have had close ties to our fellow gnomes of Lantan. This relationship was utilized to its fullest when the Death Curse broke out across Toril. Together we built a device that could be used to locate the source of the curse, which we planned to take to Chult and hire a group of adventurers to end the curse and save Ipakas XI. This plan ultimately failed due to the inexperience of the captain of the ship that was transporting the device to Chult. In preparation of the construction of the device the group of gnomes from Lantan built the Longrock Embassy and used it as the main base of operations for the duration of the project. Now the building serves as a permanent home for the Longrock family of gnomes.

The End of our Isolation

Erbag has isolated itself for thousands of years to protect our way of life, but Ipakas XII sees a bright future for Erbag and has revaled ourselves to the world, beliving Erbag's many heros will lead us into the future.
