# The Customizable Artificer

##### A homebrew class by u/sonaplayer. Version 4.1.

#### What is the Customizable Artificer? The customizable artificer is a (nearly) full spell caster. What sets the artificer apart from other casters is spell-dedicated spell slots that can be either short rest or long rest. These spell slots are called wondrous inventions. The artificer spends a resource called Invention Points to make wondrous inventions, spending more points on a particular invention to make it work once every short rest instead of once every long rest. The goal of this artificer is to feel tangible. Your inventions are part of your character. They are devices that you should spend some time thinking about. How do they work? What do they look like? Did you name the device? While having dedicated spell slots is a *significant* restriction, it also opens a complex and interesting design space, such as the choice between between short rest or long rest spells in the core class. This design space is explored more deeply in the multiple sub-classes. In addition to spell casting, the artificer is able to design inventions to help with skill checks on the fly using Spontaneous Innovation. Again, these inventions give the player a chance to add some narrative flavor to their abilities. How exactly does this device you just made help with athletics? Or perception? You decide. #### Major Changes Here are some highlights from Version 4 of the Artificer: **Low-level changes.** The Artificer now starts with 3 cantrip inventions, providing notably more flexibility at 1st level. Additionally, the artificer has an additional Invention Point at 1st level, which changes their starting options. **Spontaneous Innovation.** Spontaneous Innovation can now be used a set number of times between each short rest. It scales from one use at 3rd level to three uses at 17th level. The ability itself can be upgraded by allocating innovation points. **Subclass changes.** R&D has a new upgrade. Check out Bifurcation Upgrade! The 10th level feature has also changed. The Rune Smith has a new 14th level ability that gives a different buff whenver defensive or offensive runes are used. **Document Format.** The document size is now letter. It was previously A4 because that's the size of D&D books, but I had recieved feedback about changing it to letter. This change required significant edits to location of images and page spacing of the classes. #### Continuing Development Wizards of the Coast released their long awaited [updated version](https://media.wizards.com/2019/dnd/downloads/UA-Artificer-2019.pdf)
of the artificer. The update has some really interesting features
with good 5e design principles. Both their design and mine
capture the fun of designing and describing your own
inventions, which cast spells. However, I feel that the
differences between my version and their version are
significant enough that it is worth it to continue to
develop this artificer for now. #### Previous Version Available [here](https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/ByT72gGOG). #### Thanks, and Enjoy! Please share feedback on this [reddit thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/UnearthedArcana/comments/b4lxgv/class_the_artificer_v4_this_customizable/).

## Class Features As an artificer, you gain the following class features #### Hit Points ___ - **Hit Dice:** 1d8 per artificer level - **Hit Points at 1st Level:** 8 + your Constitution modifier - **Hit Points at Higher Levels:** 1d8 (or 5) + your Constitution modifier per artificer level after 1st #### Proficiencies ___ - **Armor:** Light armor, medium armor - **Weapons:** Simple weapons, hand crossbow - **Tools:** Thieves' tools, tinker’s tools, one type of artisan’s tools of your choice - **Saving Throws:** Constitution, Intelligence - **Skills:** Choose two from Arcana, History, Investigation, Medicine, Nature, Perception, and Sleight of Hand #### Equipment You start with the following equipment, in addition to the equipment granted by your background: - any two simple weapons - a light crossbow and 20 bolts - (a) scale male or (b) studded leather armor - thieve's tools and a dungeoneer's pack ### Spellcrafting You have studied the workings of magic and have learned to craft wondrous inventions which you use to cast spells. Each wondrous invention has an invention level and a particular spell. The invention can be expended to cast that spell as if using a spell slot equal to the invention level. For example, a 3rd-level wondrous invention of *burning hands* can be expended to cast *burning hands* as if using a 3rd-level spell slot. Expending a wondrous invention requires aether points. You have 7 aether points in your aether reservoir, and you can store more as you reach higher levels, as shown in the aether points column of the Artificer table. You regain all aether points when you finish a long rest. You have already created a number of wondrous inventions. Choose four 1st-level spells on the Artificer Spell List. You have created a 1st-level wondrous invention for each of those spells.

##### What is a Wondrous Invention? It is up to you. Be creative! A *thunderwave* invention might be a massive tube of lightning that casts a 5th-level *thunderwave*, or a collection of charged rocks that release a 1st-level *thunderwave* when dropped.

THE ARTIFICER

\page

#### Creating a Wondrous Invention You can create new wondrous inventions up to the maximum number of inventions, shown in the Number of Inventions column of the Artificer table, and subject to the *One of a Kind* rule. The *One of a Kind* rule requires that each wondrous invention casts a different spell. No two inventions can cast the same spell. To create a new invention, you must spend 2 hours and 25 gp per invention level. As you finish the invention, you choose the invention's spell from the artificer spell list. The spell must be is less than or equal to the invention's level. If you are increasing an invention's level but not changing the spell, you only need to spend time and gold for the difference in invention levels. Lastly, you can dismantle wondrous inventions at anytime you are creating new wondrous inventions with no additional time or gold cost. Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can create up to two wondrous inventions for free in a flurry of genius during the next long rest. These inventions are still subject to the invention limit and *One of a Kind* rule. As you gain levels in this class, you can create inventions with greater invention levels, no higher than what's shown in the Maximum Invention Level column of the Artificer table. #### Using a Wondrous Invention Expending a wondrous invention costs aether points as shown on the Expending and Recharging Inventions table. Otherwise, the invention has the same casting time, range, components, duration, and concentration requirements as the spell it casts. The material components are provided in the creation of the invention or, if valuable, when the invention is expended. The somatic component is completed in the operation of the invention. The verbal component is produced by the magic of the invention, which hums, whirs, buzzes or produces an ethereal drone. A wondrous invention will always cast its spell as if using a spell slot equal to its invention level. You cannot choose to cast the spell as if using a higher or lower level spell slot (unless a feature in this class says otherwise). For example, a 6th-level invention that casts *fireball* will always cast fireball as if using a 6th-level spell slot. Only you can use your wondrous inventions. Either due to their complicated nature, magic attunement, or some other explanation, they will not work for other creatures. ##### Expending & Recharging Inventions |Invention Level|Aether Points
(to expend)|Aether Points
(to recharge)| |:---:|:---:|:---:|| |1st|2|1|| |2nd|3|1|| |3rd|4|2|| |4th|5|3|| |5th|7|4|| |6th|8|4|| |7th|9|4|| |8th|10|4|| |9th|11|4|| ``` ``` #### Recharging Inventions Once expended, an invention cannot be used again until it is recharged. It can be recharged during a long rest at no cost or during a short rest by spending aether points depending on the invention level, as described in the Expending and Recharging Inventions table. Recharging an invention brings it back to a state where it is ready to be expended. You must still spend aether points to expend the invention again. #### Cantrip Inventions At 1st level, you have created three cantrip inventions which can cast a cantrip of your choice from the artificer spell list. Your maximum number of cantrip inventions increases at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrip Inventions column of the Artificer table. Cantrip inventions have no aether point cost to use and can be used any number of times without needing to be recharged. You can dismantle and rebuild a cantrip invention by spending 2 hours and 25 gp, selecting a new cantrip from the artificer spell list. #### Spellcasting Ability Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for spells cast by your wondrous inventions. You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a wondrous invention and when making an attack roll with one.

**Spellsave DC** = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier

**Spell attack modifier** = your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier

### Aether Spanner An artificer is nothing without their trusty aether spanner! You have created a special wondrous invention that is used as a magical diagnostic tool. The aether spanner can cast either *detect magic* or *identify* as a ritual without any aether point cost. Casting *identify* this way requires no material component.

>##### What is a Wondrous Invention? > It is up to you! A wondrous invention is anything that could produce the effect of a spell - be creative! A *thunderwave* invention might be a massive tube of lightning that casts a 5th-level *thunderwave*, or a collection of charged rocks that release a 1st-level *thunderwave* when dropped. >##### Why Recharge Your Invention? > Because inventions are one of a kind, no two do the same thing. If you think you're going to need a particular invention after you take a short rest, you should recharge it! Also, some inventions themselves will improve with certain class features, so you may want to recharge that invention in particular.

### Artificer Specialization At 2nd level, you focus your work on a particular Specialization: Choose Research & Development, Engineering, Rune Smithing, Questing or Alchemy, which are detailed at the end of the class description. Your choice grants you features at 2nd level and again at 6th, 10th, and 14th level. ### Spontaneous Innovation At 3rd level, you can swiftly create the perfect device for any situation. As an action, you choose a skill based on Strength, Dexterity, or Wisdom, or a tool. You instantly invent a new device to assist in the task at hand. The device allows you to use your Intelligence modifier for any ability check for that skill or tool instead of the ability modifier the check would normally use. This device falls after one minute. Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again. You can use this feature twice between rests starting at 9th level and three times between rests starting at 17th level. ### Empowered Innovation Starting at 5th level, you can spend aether points to improve your Spontaneous Innovation as you use the feature. Each improvement costs 1 aether point. **Clever.** You gain advantage on the first ability check made with the device, but it falls apart after the check. **Swift.** This use of Spontaneous Innovation is a bonus action. **Intuitive.** As part of the action to use this feature, you may give the device (and the benefits of this feature) to a creature you can touch instead of yourself. That creature still uses Intelligence modifier for checks with the device. ``` ``` ### 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. ### Prodigious Craftwork At 7th level, your inventive knowledge allows you to create wondrous inventions and magic items more efficiently and quickly. The gold and time you must spend to allocate an Invention Point or craft a magic item (common or uncommon) is halved. The rules for magic item creation are detailed in the Dungeon Master’s Guide (pg 128-129). ### Improved Attuning At 15th level, you can attune to up to four magic items at once. At 18th level, you can attune up to five magic items at once. ### Pinnacle of Artifice At 20th level, your ability to create wondrous inventions is unmatched. Your inventions can now go up to 10th-level or 11th-level. For example, a 11th-level invention casts *burning hands* as if using an 11th-level spell slot. ##### Expending & Recharging Inventions |Invention Level|Aether Points

## Artificer Specializations Artificers pursue a variety of specializations, honing their craft to solve new problems and lead to new inventions. Five specializations are presented here: Research & Development, Engineering, Rune Smithing, Questing and Alchemy. ### Research & Development You push the field of magic artifice in new directions, specializing in a field of research and developing upgraded inventions to master that field, pushing the boundaries of science, magic and invention. #### Field of Research You focus on a particular field of research for which you can create specialized wondrous inventions. At 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th level your spell list expands based on your field of research. Choose that field of research—biology, geoscience, or physics—and consult the associated list of spells. You can create wondrous inventions of the spells in this list, and inventions from that list do not count against your total number of inventions. Additionally, your research has helped you learn new skills in your field. You learn an additional skill depending on your field of research. If you already know that skill, you can select any skill from the Artificer skill list.

THE ARTIFICER : RESEARCH

\page

##### Biology You study the physiology of creatures, magical and mundane. You gain the Medicine skill and access to new spells: | Artificer Level | Specialization Spells | |:----:|:-------------| | 2nd | *ray of sickness* | | 3rd | *enlarge/reduce* | | 5th | *plant growth* | | 7th | *giant insect* | | 9th | *cloudkill*| ##### Geoscience You study the weather and geologic forces. You gain the Nature skill and access to new spells: | Artificer Level | Specialization Spells | |:----:|:-------------| | 2nd | *earth tremor* | | 3rd | *gust of wind* | | 5th | *call lightning* | | 7th | *ice storm* | | 9th | *control winds*| ##### Physics You study light, sound, and objects in motion. You gain the Investigation skill and access to new spells: | Artificer Level | Specialization Spells | |:----:|:-------------| | 2nd | *color spray* | | 3rd | *mirror image* | | 5th | *blink* | | 7th | *hallucinatory terrain* | | 9th | *mislead*| #### Wondrous Development Beginning at 2nd level, you have learned to modify your wondrous inventions to push them to their limit. You can now improve your inventions with upgrades, which are detailed under "Upgrades" below. Choose one upgrade from the list and add it to an invention. Choose two additional upgrades at 6th level (3 total), an additional upgrade at 10th level (4 total) and another at 14th level (5 total). ``` ``` You may have at most one of each upgrade, and each wondrous invention can have only one upgrade. During a long rest, you may move one upgrade from an invention to another or change to a different upgrade. #### Leading Researcher Starting at 10th level, you're approaching mastery in your field of research. When you make an ability check related to your•field of research, your proficiency bonus is doubled if you are using a skill that you're proficient in. Here are some examples of what falls into a field of research: **Biology.** Your study of biology lets you understand the physiology of creatures and plant life. **Geoscience.** Your study of geoscience gives you insight into natural phenomenon like weather patterns and geologic events. **Physics.** Your study of physics provides insight into the movement and interaction of objects in motion, as well as light and sound. #### Breadth and Depth At 14th level, your extensive repertoire of inventions gives you special insight to the relationship between magic and your inventions. Depending on the nature of your inventions, you can have a deep knowledge in one school of magic (depth), experience with all of them (breadth), or both. You can gain access to up to two new upgrades as long as you meet the requirements listed below. They do not count against your total number of upgrades. You can achieve both *breadth* and *depth* if you meet all the requirements. Cantrip inventions do not count towards achieving breadth or depth. **Breadth.** If you have five wondrous inventions which are each a different level and different school of magic, you have a breadth of knowledge across multiple schools of magic. You gain access to the Regenerative Upgrade. **Depth.** If you have five wondrous inventions of different levels which all share a school of magic, you have a depth of knowledge in that particular school of magic. You gain access to the Resonant Upgrade. #### Upgrades The upgrades are presented in alphabetical order. ___ * ** Augmentation Upgrade. ** As an action, you can change one of the damage types of an augmented invention. Choose acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder damage. For the next hour, if this wondrous invention would do one damage type in that list, it does the chosen damage type instead. If the invention would do multiple damage types, choose which type is being replaced when you use the action. ___ * ** Bifurcation Upgrade. ** If a bifurcated invention would cast a spell that has a single area of effect, you may instead create two areas of effect within range. The dimension of each of the areas of effect is divided by half, rounded down to the nearest 5 feet increment. The areas may overlap, but the effect of the spell is not doubled in overlapping areas. ___ * ** Charging Upgrade. ** As an action, you can charge this wondrous invention. Once charged, the invention can be used with a bonus action by expending 1 aether point. If the charged invention is not expended within 30 seconds, it ***backfires*** and is expended without casting its spell. As an action, you can deactivate the charge without expending the invention.

___ * ** Efficiency Upgrade. ** If you would use an efficient invention to cast a spell with the ritual tag, you may increase the cast time of the spell by 10 minutes. If you do so, the wondrous invention is not expended and no aether points are used. ___ * ** Empowered Upgrade. ** By spending 1 additional aether point, you may use an empowered invention as if using a spell slot one level higher than its invention level. When used in this way, it has a 20% chance to overload and instead cast the spell as if using a spell slot two levels higher, but it ***backfires***. ___ * ** Flexible Upgrade. ** When you upgrade to a flexible invention, choose a second spell of level equal to or lower than the invention level, and third spell if all three share a school of magic. When you use this invention, you may cast any *one* of the spells, expending the use of the invention as normal. You may choose this upgrade multiple times. ___ * ** Reliability Upgrade. ** A reliability upgrade allows you to change the range of potential damage of your invention. As a bonus action, you can change all the damage dice of your invention with another from the same row in this table:

| | | |:----:|:----:|:----:| | — | 1d4 | 1d6 - 1 | | 1d4 + 1 | 1d6 | 1d8 - 1 | | 1d6 + 1 | 1d8 | 1d10 - 1| | 1d8 + 1 | 1d10 | 1d12 - 1 | | 1d10 + 1 | 1d12 | — |

___ * ** Regenerative Upgrade. ** Requires *breadth*. A regenerative invention can absorb excess magic energy from other powerful inventions which do not share a school of magic. On any turn you use an invention that is at least 4 levels higher and in a different school of magic than the regenerative invention, you can use a bonus action and spend 1 aether point to regain use of the regenerative invention. ___ * ** Resonant Upgrade. ** Requires *depth*. When you upgrade to a resonant invention, choose a 1st level artificer spell with a casting time of 1 action. That spell and the invention must both be in the school of magic in which you have depth. You may use 1 aether point to cast that spell as a bonus action when you expend this invention. ___ * ** Stability Upgrade. ** When you use a stable invention to cast a spell with concentration and you lose concentration due to taking damage, you can spend 1 aether point to keep the effect of the spell until the end of your next turn. ##### *backfire* When an invention ***backfires***, each creature within 5 feet of the invention makes a Dexterity saving throw aginst 10 plus the invention level. If they fail, they take a number of d8s of force damage equal to the invention level divided by three, rounded up. ### Engineering You create artificial life by merging metal and magic. Specializing in engineering allows you to use bring mechanical creations to life, power those creations with your own inventions, and gives you a mastery over metal. ``` ``` #### Expanded Spell List The study of engineering gives you access to spells which create artificial constructs and mechanical creations. At 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th level you gain access to the spells listed for that level in the Engineering Spells table. ##### Engineering Spells | Artificer Level | Specialization Spells | |:----:|:-------------| | 2nd | *find familiar* | | 3rd | *cloud of daggers* | | 5th | *conjure animals* | | 7th | *Otiluke's resilient sphere* | | 9th | *conjure elemental*| #### Artificial Lifecrafter Beginning at 2nd level, if you would use a wondrous invention to summon a creature, that creature is a construct instead of its other types. When you use *find familiar*, your familiar can take the form of a Modron *monodrone*, except it retains its construct type, can attack, but does not have truesight. It gains additional hit points equal to twice your Artificer level. At 6th level, you can instead find a *duodrone*. At 10th level, you can find a *tridrone*. At 14th level, you can find a *quadrone*. See the monster manual for Modron statistic block. #### Primed for Battle Beginning at 6th level, you can inspect and maintain the party's weapons and armor to keep them ready for battle. At the end of any short or long rest, choose a number of creatures equal to your Intelligence modifier. Those creatures get +2 to weapon attack and damage rolls until after the next time they deal damage with a weapon attack. They also get +1 to AC until after the next time they take damage from an attack against AC. These bonuses increase to +3/+2 at 10th level and +4/+3 at 14th level. #### Power Transfer At 6th level, you can energize your constructs with the power from your wondrous inventions. As an action, you can expend an invention to charge a construct within 30 feet of you with the magical energy in the device. The target gains temporary hit points equal to four times the level of the wondrous invention. The target may use its reaction to move up to its movement speed and make an attack. If the attack hits, the target takes an additional 1d8 plus 1d8 per level of the invention lightning damage and cannot take reactions until the end of its next turn. #### Power Conduit Beginning at 10th level, as an action, you can destroy a number of constructs you control of total CR less than your artificer level to distribute their remaining hit points to any number of other constructs you control. All creatures must be within 60 feet of each other and you. #### Induced Magnetism Beginning at 14th level, if you deal lightning damage to a creature, constructs under your control gain advantage on attacks against that creature until your next turn. Also, when you use power transfer, the construct gets advantage on its next attack this turn.

### Questing Where other artificers look to create their own inventions, the artificer discovers wondrous artifacts that have been lost or buried deep in forgotten dungeons. They are ready to face the dangers in finding new treasures, and use their own inventions in creative ways. #### Wondrous Discovery You have discovered various damaged magic items in your journeys. Starting at 2nd level, you can repair these broken items. As you level up, you can repair more powerful items. You choose an item from the Wondrous Discoveries table at 2nd, 6th, 10th and 14th level. The item must be on the list for your current artificer level or a lower level. Once you have chosen an item, you can repair it by permanently spending aehter points to maintain the item (effectively reducing your maximum number of aether points). You can disassemble the wondrous discovery to reclaim your aether points. The items and aether point cost are listed in the Wondrous Discoveries table. Wondrous discoveries do not count against your maximum number of attuned magic items or wondrous inventions. The magic items are detailed in the Dungeon Master’s Guide. #### Dungeon Delver At 2nd level, your dungeon delving experience gives you an edge when you dodge away from danger. You have advantage on Dexterity saving throws against effects that you can see, such as traps and Spells. To gain this benefit, you cannot be Blinded, Deafened, or Incapacitated. You also gain proficiency with shields and martial weapons. ``` ``` ##### Wondrous Discoveries | Artificer Level | Wondrous Discovery |Aether Points | |:----:|:------|:---:| | 2nd | *bag of holding, cap of water breathing, driftglobe, goggles of night, sending stones* | 1 | | 6th | *alchemy jug, helm of comprehending languages, lantern of revealing, ring of swimming, robe of useful items, rope of climbing, wand of magic detection, wand of secrets* |2 | | 10th | *bag of beans, chime of opening, decanter of endless water, eyes of minute seeing, folding boat, Heward’s handy haversack* | 4 | | 14th |*boots of striding and springing, bracers of archery, brooch of shielding, broom of flying, hat of disguise, slippers of spider climbing* | 5 | #### Extra Attack Starting at 6th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn. #### Exceptional Innovation At 6th level, you can use Spontaneous Innovation an additional time between each rest. #### Creative Deployment At 10th level, you can deploy a wondrous invention as a trap. If you spend a minute, you can set up a wondrous invention to trigger given particular circumstances. Follow the rules for triggering from the *glyph of warding* spell. The invention must have a cast time of 1 action or less. You can only have one invention set up this way at a time. #### Improvisational Invention At 14th level, you can modify your inventions on the fly to get out of a tight spot. Once per long rest, you can use a wondrous invention in one of two unconventional ways: **Alter.** You may expend an invention to cast any spell in the Artificer spell list that shares a school of magic with the invention's spell and is at least 1 spell level lower than the invention's level. **Enhance.** You can use one invention to power up another. Choose two of your inventions. Use one of them to cast its spell as if using a spell slot equal to the combined invention levels, up to your current Maximum Invention Level. Both are expended.

THE ARTIFICER : QUESTING

### Rune Smithing The rune smith's wondrous inventions are runes, which seal magic into objects built for combat. They wield spell infused weapons and wear rune covered armor. #### Bonus Proficiency When you choose this Specialization at 2nd level, you gain proficiency with martial weapons and heavy armor. #### Rune Forging When you begin this Specialization at 2nd level, you learn to bind magic into combat runes, which are a special type of wondrous invention with additional benefits and restrictions. The spell for combat runes must have a cast time of 1 action or 1 bonus action. Some runes cost additional Invention Points, based on the invention level, as specified in the Combat Rune Cost table. At 2nd level, you can forge defensive runes onto armor, shields or flesh. At 6th level, you can also forge offensive runes onto melee weapons. The type of rune has no bearing on the spell associated with the rune. There is no limit to the number of runes on a particular weapon or piece of armor. Runes are activated in the same way as any other wondrous invention. Runes can be forged onto other creature's weapons and armor. Others cannot use the spell associated with the rune, but you can activate runes on creatures that you can see. The spell uses that creature as the origin. ##### Combat Rune Cost |Invention Level|Additional Invention Points| |:----|:-:| | 1st and 2nd level|+0 Invention Points| | 3rd to 5th level|+2 Invention Points| | 6th level and higher|+4 Invention Points| #### Runic Rebuke Beginning at 2nd level, you can activate a defensive rune when you or others are attacked. After a creature with one of your unexpended defensive runes takes damage from a weapon attack, you can use your reaction to expend the rune, casting the rune's spell. If the spell has targets, the attacked creature or the attacking creature must be one of the targets. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (a minimum of once) between long rests. ``` ``` #### Aether Discharge At 6th level, when you strike a foe with a weapon with offensive runes, you can expend the rune to cause a special magic effect instead of casting the rune's spell. The magic effect depends on the expended rune's school of magic. The DC for a saving throw from this effect is equal to 10 plus the invention level. You can use this feature once per round. ___ * **Abjuration.** The target takes an extra 1d8 force damage per invention level, and you gain temporary hit points equal to your Intelligence modifier plus twice the invention level. ___ * **Conjuration.** The target takes an extra 1d8 thunder damage per invention level, and you teleport a number of feet equal to 10 times the spell level. ___ * **Divination.** The target takes an extra 1d6 psychic damage per invention level. You see a brief vision of future dangers and gain a foretelling roll of 10 plus the invention level. It lasts until it is used or you take a short rest. You can replace a saving throw roll you make with that foretelling roll. A new foretelling roll replaces an unused roll. ___ * **Enchantment.** The target takes an extra 1d8 psychic damage per invention level and must succeed at a Wisdom saving throw or be paralyzed for a turn.

THE ARTIFICER : RUNE FORGING

___ * **Evocation.** The target takes an extra 1d12 fire damage per invention level, and must succeed at a Strength saving throw or be pushed up to 5 feet per spell level. ___ * **Illusion.** The target takes an extra 1d6 psychic damage per invention level, and it sees illusory duplicates of you. It must succeed at a Wisdom saving throw or until the end of your next turn, it has disadvantage on attacks against you, and you have advantage on attacks against it. ___ * **Necromancy.** The target takes an extra 1d8 poison damage per invention level, and must succeed at a Constitution saving throw or take another 1d8 poison damage per invention level at the start of its next turn. ___ * **Transmutation.** The target takes 1d10 damage per invention level, and you transform your weapon. Until the end of your next turn, it deals either piercing, bludgeoning, or slashing damage, and has an additional melee range of 5 feet per invention level. #### Rune Powered Strikes At 10th level, you can attack twice whenever you take the Attack action on your turn while you wield a weapon with an unexpended offensive rune. Additionally, damage dealt by any weapon with an unexpended combat runes counts as magical. #### Improved Runic Rebuke At 10th level, when you use Runic Rebuke to active a rune, you can use Aether Discharge with the attacking creature as the target instead of casting the rune's spell. If a defensive rune on another creature is activated in this way, they count as "you" for the purposes of the Aether Discharge. #### Combat Rune Mastery Beginning at 14th level, whenever you expend a defensive rune, you gain temporary hit points equal to the rune's invention level. Whenever you expend an offensive rune, your next attack before the end of your next turn deals bonus force damage equal to the rune's invention level.

### Alchemy Tapping into the forgotten craft called alchemy, you create wondrous inventions which bind magical effects into potions, elixirs and salves. These magical draughts are easy to give to allies, who can use them directly, and the alchemist can mix powerful reagents into their own draughts to empower the effects. ``` ``` #### Expanded Spell List Your mastery of alchemy gives you access to additional spells to create wondrous inventions. At 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th level you gain access to the spell listed for that level in the Alchemist Spells table. ##### Alchemist Spells | Artificer Level | Specialization Spells | |:----:|:-------------| | 2nd | *cure wounds* | | 3rd | *enhance ability* | | 5th | *haste* | | 7th | *stoneskin* | | 9th | *greater restoration*| #### Wondrous Distribution Starting at 2nd level, you have learned to craft your wondrous inventions in a way that's easy to share with others. Other creatures may use your wondrous inventions if the invention's spell has a range of touch or self. When expended in this way, the invention still uses your spell casting modifier, spellsave DC, and spell attack modifier. #### Potent Reagents Starting at 2nd level, you have learned to use special ingredients to make your wondrous inventions extra potent. As a bonus action, you may apply potent reagents to one of your inventions to do one of the following: - Reroll one of the damage or healing dice and use the better roll. - Increase the area of any area of effect by increasing the radius of a sphere or cylinder or the length of a cone or cube by 50%, rounded up. - Gain advantage on the first Constitution saving throw to maintain concentration on the spell. - Impose disadvantage for one target on the second saving throw caused by the spell. Potent reagents can only be used once per turn, but the invention does not need to be used that turn. You can use potent reagents a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses of it when you finish a short or long rest. #### Signature Recipe At 6th level, you are always able to scrape together the materials for your signature recipe. Choose any Artificer spell as your signature recipe. You may use any wondrous invention to cast that spell instead of the spell associated with the wondrous invention. The spell is cast as if using a spell slot equal to the invention's level, and the invention level must be greater than or equal to the signature recipe spell level. You may change your signature recipe whenever you level up. #### True Alchemy At 10th level, you have cracked the fundamentals of alchemy. Once per long rest, over the course of an hour, you can transmute gold into any non-magical item, or any non-magical item into gold. You can transmute up to 50gp of value, consuming the transmuted material.

THE ARTIFICER : ALCHEMY

\page

#### Exceptional Potency At 10th level, you've learned to make exceptionally potent reagents. When you use potent reagents, you can apply up to two potent reagents effects per each use. (If the same potent reagent effect is selected twice, effects that say first or second should be treated as if they say first and second, or second and third). #### Philosopher's Stone At 14th level, your mastery of alchemy allows you to create a philosopher's stone. The stone requires 8 hours of work to create, and 200gp of materials. As long as you possess the stone, you gain the following benefits: - You may apply one use of potent reagents on your signature recipe without counting towards your total number of uses. - You have immunity to poison damage, and can remove the poisoned condition from yourself or a creature you can touch as an action. - If you would fail your last death saving throw, instead you are stabilized and regain 1 hit point, but the philosopher's stone is destroyed. - Once every five years, you can use this stone to perform a day long ritual which reverses 1d10 years of age from yourself. This process heals the body of damage, restoring lost body parts and curing all diseases. # Artificer Spell List

### Multi-Classing To multi-class as an Artificer, you must have an Intelligence score of at least 13. You gain proficiency in light armor, simple weapons, and one tool of your choice. For the purposes of spell-casting, the Artificer does not count towards multiclass spellcasting spellslots. \page

Here is an example of an advanced wondrous invention of *burning hands*, cast as a level 1 spell:

If instead you wanted to cast *burning hands* as a 3rd level spell, it would look like this:

Here is the same wondrous invention but upgraded using the Physicist's Wondrous Upgrade feature:

### Change Log (Version 4) #### Version 4.2 **Overall** - Huge expansion of Invention Points w/ a new limitation. Spellcasting was too restrictive. Committing to individual spells was very restrictive, and the Invention Points were too limited to allow flexibility. However, simply adding more Invention Points would risk overshadowing the warlock with short-rest high level spell slots. To resolve this problem, a new restriction was added while Invention Points were vastly expanded. The new restriction, One of a Kind, requires each invention to cast a different spell. - Recieved feedback that higher levels are not exciting (since they aren't getting 8th or 9th level spells). Added Improved Attunement at level 15 and 18 to allow attunement of an additional item. This matches similar features in other artificers and gives a power boost at higher levels. - Simplified Prodigous Craftwork. Now more similar to the official Artificer (faster creation of common and uncommon magic items). Removed the level 15 improvement to this feature. **R&D** - Removed Prolific Invention. Instead, Inventions on the Bonus Invention List cost 1 less IP to create, and you get another skill proficiency in a related skill. #### Version 4.1 **Overall** - Reduced IP cost for Spontaneous Innovation Improvements by 1 each. - Added usefulness improvement to Spontaneous Innovation. **Alchemy** - Wondrous Distribution works for both "touch" and "self" spells. #### Version 4.0 **Overall** - Reworked spell list to move more in line with UA Artificer - Spontaneous Innovation now has upgrades that you can aquire with Invention Points, and the number of uses increases automatically. - 1st level IP increased from 3 to 4 **R&D** - New upgrade; Bifurcation. Removed Precision Upgrade - Reworked 10th level feature. It's mostly a ribbon now - getting more upgrades is the core feature of this subclass. - Visually reorganized so upgrades are at the end of the subclass. **Rune Smith** - Reworked Combat Rune Mastery (14th level) so that it provides a buff every time a defensive or offensive rune is used. - Necromancy AD changed. **Alchemy** - Wondrous Distribution now only works with touch spells. #### [Version 3.5](https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/ByT72gGOG) **Overall** - Reworked spell list. **R&D** - Flexible Upgrade can now be selected multiple times. #### Version 3.4 **Overall** - Cantrip inventions can now be re-created. It takes time and gold as if you are allocating 3 Invention Points. - Others cannot use your wondrous inventions. Only you can use them. The Alchemist breaks this rule. - Prototype Invention level 3+ IP cost reduced by 1. Prototype inventions are intended to be cost-ineffective, but not THAT cost ineffective. - Added some spells that used to be on sub-class specific lists to the main list. - Aether Spanner changed slightly. There is no automatic benefit, you have to make the device. Previously, you could cast detect magic yourself, which I decided was unnecessary and the ONLY thing that allowed you to directly cast spells. **All subclasses** - Any subclass with a spell list only gets 1 spell per level instead of two. Check the spell lists **R&D** - Added Stability Upgrade - Precision now double crit range for attack spells. - Change scientific expert to Leading Researcher - relatively weaker since it no longer gives expertise. This feature isn't the focus of the class anyway. **Rune Smithing** - Others are no longer able to activate your runes (due to changes to the class overall). HOWEVER, you can still place runes on other creatures and activate them if they are within your sight. - Runic Rebuke now has a set number of uses equal to Intelligence mod each long rest. - DC for inventions changed back to 10+Invention level. This is reward the player for using a higher level rune. - Enchantment Aether Discharge (AD) changed to one turn of paralysis. - Necromancy AD changed to poison until save. - Conjuration AD teleport changed to 10x spell level - Rune Powered Strikes clarified - allowing you to attack twice if you have an unexpended rune on a weapon. Additionally, ANY weapon (not just your own) with an unexpended rune counts as magical. - Added Improved Runic Rebuke, which lets you use AD with runic rebuke, and clarifies that the "you" in AD is the creature with the rune. - I do not like Combat Rune Mastery...thinking about alternatives. **Alchemy** - New ability - Wondrous Distribution. Others may use your wondrous inventions. - Removed Potion Master, which gave benefits to creating and using potions, which I thought could be confusing with the framing of Wondrous Inventions as potions. - Reworked Exceptional Potency, which now causes your uses of Potent Reagents to be doubled. - Clarified Signature Recipe, non-functional #### Version 3.3 **Overall** - I decided to tackle the problem of higher level spells (what's stopping the Artificer from having 4 superpowered level-9 *disintegrate* ray guns). Basically, I removed all damaging spells from the list above level 5. The idea was that the Artificer's power comes from scaling up inventions, not necessariliy higher level damaging invention. - I also added spells from XGTA - Addressed multiclassing **Research & Development** - Empowered upgrade now casts the spell as if using a slot two levels higher when it overloads, and the self damage was changed to 1d8 for spells lower than level 5 and 2d8 damage otherwise. **Rune Smithing** - Combined Improved Runic Rebuke into Aether Discharge. - Rune Powered Strikes now gives an extra attack. This improves the chances of using Aether Discharge - Aether Discharge is limited to once per turn due to the extra attack buff on Rune Powered Strikes. \page **Alchemy** - Potent Reagents changed to a short-rest ability. Effects have been toned down to compensate. - Reagent Pouch changed to Exceptional Potency. Doubles uses of potent reagents and allows you to put two uses on one spell. - Philo Stone now allows you use apply one use of Potent Reagents to your signature spell for free. **Questing** - Now gain proficiency with shields and martial weapons at level 2. #### Version 3.2 **Overall** - Change how IP allocation works. Now takes 10gp and 2 hours per Invention Point. Reclaiming is 1/2 hours per invention point. - Clarified language around inventions, spell levels, spell slots. - Changed Spontaneous Innovation. Now improves at levels 5, 9, 13, 17. No longer automatically gives additional uses. An additional use is now one of the improvement options. - Changed Prodigious Craftwork. Now reduces gold cost for inventions at level 7 and time cost at level 15. **Research & Development** - Wondrous Upgrades is now Wondrous Development. Clarified when upgrades are applied. - Removed Need More Power! - Reduced Breadth and Depth to only give access to two additional upgrades. Removed the passive benefits. **Engineering** - Removed "Shocking Invention" - Added Bonus Cantrip Invention at level 2 to give PCs a bonus lightning cantrip. - Clarified Power Transfer. Non-functional change **Questing** - Improvisational Deployment renamed to Creative Deployment. - Forgotten Treasure removed. New 14th level feature is Improvisational Invention, which allows you to use two invetions as one, or one in an alternate way once per long rest. #### Version 3.1 **Overall** - Minor phrasing and clarity changes. No functional changes to main class. Cantrip Inventions are now clearly NOT wondrous inventions. Wonrous inventions have a level themselves, in addition to the level of the spell. This cleans up having to use the "level of the invention's spell" terminology. **Research & Development** - Name changed to 'Research & Development' from 'Research' - Prolific Invention was changed to bonus IP equal to proficiency bonus from bonus IP equal to Artificer level. This still gives a boost early on, but drops off at later levels. - Upgrades reworked. Upgrades are no longer just metamagic rip-offs. They are more unique and play to the idea of the inventions. - Added 10th level ability that gives a skill proficiency based on field of research. - Changed Breadth and Depth to align with changes to upgrades. **Engineering** - Bonus health on find familiar increased to 2x Artificer level. - Temp health on Power Transfer increased to 4x spell level. - Primed for Battle now chooses between armor and weapons. Weapons bonus increased to +2 at level 6 and +3 at level 14. AC bonus reamins the same. - Added Shocking Invention which increases the lightning damage done by inventions by Int modifier. - Induced Magnetism now gives the target of power transfer advantage on it's attack. **Questing** - Wondrous Discoveries no longer use your attunement. - Exceptional Innovation now gives an additional use of Spontaneous Innovation at the 14th level as well as the 6th. - Improvisational Deployment allows you to have 1 trap active at any time, instead of 2 per long rest. - I'm not happy with Forgotten Treasure. Open to feedback. **Rune Smithing** - Name changed to Rune Smithing from Rune Forging - Now gives bonus proficiency in heavy armor. Trying to push the class towards high Str and high Int, not Dex. - Cleared up how Rune Forging works. Reworked the costs of runes to incentivize lower level spells. **Alchemy** - Potent Reagents concentration improvement changed from auto success to advantage. #### Version 2 **Overall** - Changed the Physics subclass into Research subclass. - Added subclass Engineering - Added subclass Questing - 2nd Spontaneous Innovation Improvement moved to level 15 from level 13. - Spontaneous Innovation now allows the user to use INT instead of whatever other ability score when making ability checks, instead of giving proficiency. Giving proficiency is now a Spontaneous Innovation Improvement. **Research subclass** - Added three research options which give different spell lists and a free cantrip - Physics, Biology and Geoscience. \page **Alchemist subclass** - Reworked spell list - Potent Reagents: Can always be used Int Mod per long rest (previously only once per long rest until level 6). Also added an option to increase AoE of a spell. - New Ability: Reagent Pouch. Level 10. Doubles uses of Potent Reagents for 3 Invention Points. **Rune Forging subclass** - Replaced Improved Aether Discharge with Improved Runic Response. - Aether Discharge no longer used for defenseive runes until level 10. - Reworked cost of combat runes. \page

### Design Intentions This version of the Artificer tries to capture two key roles. First, the Artificer is a flexible short-rest/long-rest caster. Second, the design emphasizes creativity on the part of the player. The Invention Point and Wondrous Invention type (Advanced/Prototype) systems were designed to let a player build their own Artificer. Unlike other builds, this is not a support caster, but a full caster. The progression was balanced against that of the wizard and the warlock, roughly estimating spell power as linear and short rest spells as worth three times a long rest spell. That said, the design of the Artificer actively encourages building towards short-rest spells because long rest spells are not efficiently costed (roughly 2/3 the cost instead of 1/3 the cost). #### Subclasses I tried to follow some general rules. The level 2 feature provides a unique resource to expand their options, or a unique way to use inventions, or both. The level 6 feature usually gives the Artificr a little more flexibility in how they can use inventions, to mitigate to cost of dedicated spell slots (Flexible Upgrade, Signature Recipe, Aether Discharge, Power Transfer, Questing's Extra Attack is the exception). The level 10 and 14 features are a bit more diverse, as the Artificer will have many options by then. Subclasses were generally balanced around using the cost of Invention Points as a baseline. Some features require Invention Points to build, and therefore aren't a power bump as much as a flexiblity bump. ### Inspiration from: I drew inspiration from many of the other popular online artificers.

### About Me & Additional Homebrews I'm fasciniated by ways that the flavor of playing a class or sub-class can express itself both in-game and out of game at the same time, bringing you closer to your character. I've brewed up an Artificer class that lets the player create inventions that cast spells, and the Gambler sub-class that allows the player to take risks on rolling dice, hoping to hit it big! Other than that, I like to homebrew rules and whatever comes to mind. Brewing is a creative challenge - how to best fit cool ideas into the 5e System.
