{"name":"Artificer","overview":"Makers of magic-infused objects, artificers are defined by their inventive nature. They see magic as a complex system waiting to be decoded and controlled.

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.\r\nTools Required\r\n\r\nYou 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 (meaning the spell has an \"M\" component when you cast it). You must be proficient with the tool to use it in this way. See the equipment chapter in the Player's Handbook for descriptions of these tools.\r\n\r\nAfter you gain the Infuse Item feature at 2nd level, you can also use any item bearing one of your infusions as a spellcasting focus.\r\n\r\n[b]Cantrips (0-Level Spells)[\/b]\r\n\r\nAt 1st level, you know two cantrips of your choice from the artificer spell list. At higher levels, you learn additional artificer can trips of your choice, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Artificer table.\r\n\r\nWhen 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.\r\n\r\n[b]Preparing and Casting Spells[\/b]\r\n\r\nThe 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.\r\n\r\nYou 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.\r\n\r\nFor example, if you are a 5th-level artificer, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With an Intelligence of 14, your list of prepared spells can include four spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell Cure Wounds, you can cast it using a lst-level or a 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn't remove it from your list of prepared spells.\r\n\r\nYou can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of artificer spells requires time spent tinkering with your spellcasting focuses: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.\r\nSpellcasting Ability\r\n\r\nIntelligence 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.\r\n\r\n[b]Spell save DC[\/b] = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Spell attack modifier[\/b] = your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier\r\n\r\n[b]Ritual Casting[\/b]\r\n\r\nYou can cast an artificer spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell prepared.","class_features":"[b]Magical Tinkering[\/b]\r\nAt 1st level, you've learned how to invest a spark of magic into mundane objects. To use this ability, you must have thieves' tools or artisan's tools in hand. You then touch a Tiny nonmagical object as an action and give it one of the following magical properties of your choice:\r\nThe object sheds bright light in a 5-foot radius and dim light for an additional 5 feet.\r\nWhenever tapped by a creature, the object emits a recorded message that can be heard up to 10 feet away. You utter the message when you bestow this property on the object, and the recording can be no more than 6 seconds long.\r\nThe object continuously emits your choice of an odor or a nonverbal sound (wind, waves, chirping, or the like). The chosen phenomenon is perceivable up to 10 feet away.\r\nA static visual effect appears on one of the object's surfaces. This effect can be a picture, up to 25 words of text, lines and shapes, or a mixture of these elements, as you like.\r\nThe chosen property lasts indefinitely. As an action, you can touch the object and end the property early.\r\nYou can bestow magic on multiple objects, touching one object each time you use this feature, though a single object can only bear one property at a time. The maximum number of objects you can affect with this feature at one time is equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of one object). If you try to exceed your maximum, the oldest property immediately ends, and then the new property applies.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Infuse Item[\/b]\r\nAt 2nd level, you've gained the ability to imbue mundane items with certain magical infusions, turning those objects into magic items.\r\n\r\n[i]Infusions Known[\/i]\r\nWhen you gain this feature, pick four artificer 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 table.\r\n\r\nWhenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of the artificer infusions you learned with a new one.\r\nInfusing an Item\r\n\r\nWhenever you finish a long rest, you can touch a nonmagical object and imbue it with one of your artificer infusions, turning it into a magic item. 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 (see the attunement rules in the Dungeon Master's Guide).\r\n\r\nYour 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.\r\n\r\nYou can infuse more than one nonmagical object at the end of a long rest; the maximum number of objects appears in the Infused Items column of the Artificer table. You must touch each of the objects, and each of your infusions can be in only one object at a time. Moreover, no object can bear more than one of your infusions at a time. If you try to exceed your maximum number of infusions, the oldest infusion ends, and then the new infusion applies.\r\n\r\nIf an infusion ends on an item that contains other things, like a bag of holding, its contents harmlessly appear in and around its space.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Artificer Specialist[\/b]\r\nAt 3rd level, you choose the type of specialist you are. Your choice grants you features at 5th level and again at 9th and 15th level.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]The Right Tool for the Job[\/b]\r\nAt 3rd level, you've learned how to produce exactly the tool you need: with thieves' tools or artisan's tools in hand, you can magically create one set of artisan's tools in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of you. This creation requires 1 hour of uninterrupted work, which can coincide with a short or long rest. Though the product of magic, the tools are nonmagical, and they vanish when you use this feature again.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Tool Expertise[\/b]\r\nAt 6th level, your proficiency bonus is now doubled for any ability check you make that uses your proficiency with a tool.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Flash of Genius[\/b]\r\nAt 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.\r\nYou 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\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Magic Item Adept[\/b]\r\nWhen you reach 10th level, you achieve a profound understanding of how to use and make magic items:\r\nYou can attune to up to four magic items at once.\r\nIf you craft a magic item with a rarity of common or uncommon, it takes you a quarter of the normal time, and it costs you half as much of the usual gold.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Spell-Storing Item[\/b]\r\nAt 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 lst- or 2nd-level spell from the artificer spell list that requires 1 action to cast (you needn't have it prepared).\r\nWhile 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.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Magic Item Savant[\/b]\r\nAt 14th level, your skill with magic items deepens more:\r\nYou can attune to up to five magic items at once.\r\nYou ignore all class, race, spell and level requirements on attuning to or using a magic item.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Magic Item Master[\/b]\r\nStarting at 18th level, you can attune up to six magic items at once.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Soul of Artifice[\/b]\r\nAt 20th level, you develop a mystical connection to your magic items, which you can draw on for protection:\r\nYou gain a +1 bonus to all saving throws per magic item you are currently attuned to.\r\nIf 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\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n[b][h1]Artificer Infusions[\/h1]\r\n[\/b]\r\nArtificer infusions are extraordinary processes that rapidly turn a nonmagical object into a magic item. The description of each of the following infusions details the type of object that can receive it, along with whether the resulting magic item requires attunement.\r\nSome infusions specify a minimum artificer level. You can't learn such an infusion until you are at least that level.\r\n\r\nUnless an infusion's description says otherwise, you can't learn an infusion more than once.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Arcane Propulsion Armor[\/b]\r\n\r\n[i]Prerequisite: 14th-level artificer[\/i]\r\n\r\n[i]Item: A suit of armor (requires attunement)[\/i]\r\n\r\nThe wearer of this armor gains these benefits:\r\n\r\nThe wearer's walking speed increases by 5 feet.\r\n\r\nThe armor includes gauntlets, each of which is a magic melee weapon that can be wielded only when the hand is holding nothing. The wearer is proficient with the gauntlets, and each one deals 1d8 force damage on a hit and has the thrown property, with a normal range of 20 feet and a long range of 60 feet. When thrown, the gauntlet detaches and flies at the attack's target, then immediately returns to the wearer and reattaches.\r\n\r\nThe armor can't be removed against the wearer's will.\r\n\r\nIf the wearer is missing any limbs, the armor replaces those limbs - hands, arms, feet, legs, or similar appendages. The replacements function identically to the body parts they replace.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Armor of Magical Strength[\/b]\r\n\r\n[i]Item: A suit of armor (requires attunement)[\/i]\r\n\r\nThis armor has 6 charges. The wearer can expend the armor's charges in the following ways:\r\n\r\nWhen the wearer makes a Strength check or a Strength saving throw, it can expend 1 charge to add a bonus to the roll equal to its Intelligence modifier.\r\n\r\nIf the creature would be knocked prone, it can use its reaction to expend 1 charge to avoid being knocked prone.\r\n\r\nThe armor regains 1d6 expended charges daily at dawn.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Armor of Tools[\/b]\r\n\r\n[i]Item: A suit of armor[\/i]\r\n\r\nAs an action, a creature wearing this infused armor can integrate into it artisan\u2019s tools or thieves\u2019 tools. The tools remain integrated in the armor for 8 hours or until the wearer removes the tools as an action. The armor can have only one tool integrated at a time. The wearer can add its Intelligence modifier to any ability checks it makes with the integrated tool. The wearer must have a hand free to use the tool.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Boots of the Winding Path[\/b]\r\n\r\n[i]Prerequisite: 6th-level artificer[\/i]\r\n\r\n[i]Item: A pair of boots (requires attunement)[\/i]\r\n\r\nWhile wearing these boots, a creature can teleport up to 15 feet as a bonus action to an unoccupied space the creature can see. The creature must have occupied that space at some point during the current turn.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Enhanced Arcane Focus[\/b]\r\n\r\n[i]Item: A rod, staff or wand (requires attunement)[\/i]\r\n\r\nWhile holding this item, a creature gains +1 bonus to spell attack rolls. In addition, the creature ignores half cover when making a spell attack.\r\n\r\nThe bonus increases to +2 when you reach 10th level in this class.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Enhanced Defense[\/b]\r\n\r\n[i]Item: A suit of armor or a shield[\/i]\r\n\r\nA creature gains a +1 bonus to Armor Class while wearing (armor) or wielding (shield) the infused item.\r\n\r\nThe bonus increases to +2 when you reach 10th level in this class.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Enhanced Weapon[\/b]\r\n\r\n[i]Item: A simple or martial weapon[\/i]\r\n\r\nThis magic weapon grants a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it.\r\n\r\nThe bonus increases to +2 when you reach 10th level in this class.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Helm of Awareness[\/b]\r\n\r\n[i]Prerequisite: 10th-level artificer[\/i]\r\n\r\n[i]Item: A helmet (requires attunement)[\/i]\r\n\r\nWhile wearing this helmet, a creature has advantage on initiative rolls. In addition, the wearer can\u2019t be surprised, provided it isn\u2019t incapacitated.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Homunculus Servant[\/b]\r\n\r\n[i]Item: A gem or crystal worth at least 100 gp[\/i]\r\n\r\nYou learn intricate methods for magically creating a special homunculus that serves you. The item you infuse serves as the creature's heart, around which the creature's body instantly forms.\r\n\r\nYou determine the homunculus's appearance. Some artificers prefer mechanical-looking birds, whereas some like winged vials or miniature, animate cauldrons.\r\n\r\nThe 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.\r\n\r\nIn combat, the homunculus 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 homunculus can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge.\r\n\r\nThe homunculus regains 2d6 hit points if the mending spell is cast on it. If you or the homunculus dies, it vanishes, leaving its heart in its space.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Mind Sharpener[\/b]\r\n\r\n[i]Item: A suit of armor or robes[\/i]\r\n\r\nThe infused item can send a jolt to the wearer to refocus their mind. The item has 4 charges. When the wearer fails a Constitution saving throw to maintain concentration on a spell, the wearer can use its reaction to expend 1 of the item's charges to succeed instead. The item regains 1d4 expended charges daily at dawn.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Radiant Weapon[\/b]\r\n\r\n[i]Prerequisite: 6th-level artificer[\/i]\r\n\r\n[i]Item: A simple or martial weapon (requires attunement)[\/i]\r\n\r\nThis magic weapon grants a + 1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it. While holding it, the wielder can take a bonus action to cause it to shed bright light in a 30-foot radius and dim light for an additional 30 feet. The wielder can extinguish the light as a bonus action.\r\n\r\nThe weapon has 4 charges. As a reaction immediately after being hit by an attack, the wielder can expend 1 charge and cause the attacker to be blinded until the end of the attacker's next turn, unless the attacker succeeds on a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC. The weapon regains 1d4 expended charges daily at dawn.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Repeating Shot[\/b]\r\n\r\n[i]Item: A simple or martial weapon with the ammunition property (requires attunement)[\/i]\r\n\r\nThis magic weapon grants a + 1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it when it's used to make a ranged attack, and it ignores the loading property if it has it.\r\n\r\nIf you load no ammunition in the weapon, it produces its own, automatically creating one piece of magic ammunition when you make a ranged attack with it. The ammunition created by the weapon vanishes the instant after it hits or misses a target.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Repulsion Shield[\/b]\r\n\r\n[i]Prerequisite: 6th-level artificer[\/i]\r\n\r\n[i]Item: A shield (requires attunement)[\/i]\r\n\r\nA creature gains a +1 bonus to Armor Class while wielding this shield.\r\n\r\nThe shield has 4 charges. While holding it, the wielder can use a reaction immediately after being hit by a melee attack to expend 1 of the shield's charges and push the attacker up to 15 feet away. The shield regains 1d4 expended charges daily at dawn.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Resistant Armor[\/b]\r\n\r\n[i]Prerequisite: 6th-level artificer[\/i]\r\n\r\n[i]Item: A suit of armor (requires attunement)[\/i]\r\n\r\nWhile wearing this armor, a creature has resistance to one of the following damage types, which you choose when you infuse the item: acid, cold, fire, force, lightning, necrotic, poison, psychic, radiant, or thunder.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Returning Weapon[\/b]\r\n\r\n[i]Item: A simple or martial weapon with the thrown propert[\/i]y\r\n\r\nThis magic weapon grants a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it, and it returns to the wielder\u2019s hand immediately after it is used to make a ranged attack.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Spell-Refueling Ring[\/b]\r\n\r\n[i]Prerequisite: 6th-level artificer[\/i]\r\n\r\n[i]Item: A ring (requires attunement)[\/i]\r\n\r\nWhile wearing this ring, the creature can recover one expended spell slot as an action. The recovered slot can be of 3rd level or lower. Once used, the ring can't be used again until the next dawn.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Sundertide Weapon[\/b]\r\n\r\n[i]Prerequisites: 6th level, A simple or martial weapon[\/i]\r\n[i](requires attunement)[\/i]\r\n\r\nThis magic weapon grants a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls\r\nmade with it. Attacks with this weapon are not made at\r\ndisadvantage due to being underwater.\r\nThe weapon has 4 charges. While underwater, the wielder can\r\nexpend 1 charge to cause the next attack to release a wave of\r\nrippling force through the water. The wave is a ranged spell attack\r\nwith a range of 60 feet. You are proficient with it, and you add the\r\nweapon's normal modifier to its attack and damage rolls. In\r\naddition to the attack's normal effects, it deals an additional 1d8\r\ncold damage. The weapon regains 1d4 expended charges daily at\r\ndawn.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Elemental Focus[\/b]\r\n\r\n[i]Prerequisite: 6th-level artificer[\/i]\r\n\r\n[i]Item: a rod, staff, or wand (requires attunement)[\/i]\r\n\r\nWhen you infuse this item, choose one of the following damage\r\ntypes: acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder. While holding this\r\nitem, a creature\u2019s spells ignore resistance to damage of the chosen\r\ntype. Also, the creature gains a +1 bonus to the damage rolls of\r\nspells it casts that deal the chosen damage type.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Focused Lightblade[\/b]\r\n\r\n[i]Prerequisite: 6th-level artificer[\/i]\r\n\r\n[i]Item: a rod, staff, or wand (requires attunement)[\/i]\r\n\r\nWhile holding this item, a creature gains a +1 bonus to spell\r\nattack rolls. Also, the wielder of this item can use its bonus action\r\nand expend a spell slot to cause a blade of radiant energy to\r\nemerge from the tip of this item. For up to 1 minute, the item\r\nbecomes a simple melee weapon with the finesse property and a\r\n+1 bonus to its attack and damage rolls. If the infused item is a\r\nstaff, it also has the reach and two-handed properties. It deals 1d8\r\nradiant damage on a hit if the slot used is of 1st level. The damage\r\nis increased to 2d8 for a 2nd or 3rd level slot, 3d8 for a 4th or 5th\r\nlevel slot, 4d8 for a 6th or 7th level slot, or 5d8 for a slot of 8th\r\nlevel or higher.\r\nThe effect ends early if the item leaves its wielder's hands.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Helm of Heat-vision[\/b]\r\n\r\n[i]Prerequisite: 10th-level artificer[\/i]\r\n\r\n[i]Item: a helmet (requires attunement)[\/i]\r\n\r\nWhile wearing this helmet, a creature has darkvision with a range\r\nof 120 feet. Out to the range of this darkvision, the helmet\u2019s\r\nwearer can clearly see any objects or creatures that give off heat\r\n(such as through a creature\u2019s body temperature), even if those\r\ncreatures or objects are heavily obscured (though not behind total\r\ncover), within an area of magical darkness, or invisible.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Shining Armor[\/b]\r\n\r\n[i]Prerequisite: 6th-level artificer[\/i]\r\n\r\n[i]Item: a suit of armor (requires attunement)[\/i]\r\n\r\nWhile wearing this armor, a creature gains a +1 bonus to Armor\r\nClass, and can use a bonus action to cause the armor to shed dim\r\nlight in a 10-foot radius. The wearer can extinguish this light as a\r\nbonus action.\r\nWhenever a creature within this area of dim light takes\r\ndamage, the wearer can use its reaction to grant that creature\r\nresistance to that instance of damage. The wearer cannot target\r\nitself with this reaction.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Armor of Emergencies[\/b]\r\n\r\n[i]Prerequisite: 6th-level Artificer[\/i]\r\n\r\n[i]Item: a suit of armor (requires attunement)[\/i]\r\n\r\nWhen you finish a short or long rest, you can cast\r\na cantrip or a spell of 1st level with a casting time of\r\n1 action, and describe a circumstance. For example,\r\nyou could set up the armor to cast cure wounds on the\r\nperson wearing this armor when they are reduced to\r\nzero hit points. The spell takes effect when the circum-\r\nstance you described is met, rather than when you\r\ncast it. The spell can only affect the person wearing\r\nand attuned to this item, even if it can normally target\r\nothers. Once the spell is cast, the armor loses this\r\nability until the next dawn.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Corpse Shaker[\/b]\r\n\r\n[i]Prerequisite: 6th-level artificer[\/i]\r\n\r\n[i]Item: a crystal worth at least 100 gp[\/i]\r\n\r\nYou have learned how to harness the power of magic\r\nto momentarily restore a creature to life. As an action,\r\nyou can thrust the item you infused into a creature that\r\nhas died within the last minute. That creature returns\r\nto life for one minute with 1 hit point and a number of\r\ntemporary hit points equal to five times your artificer\r\nlevel. After the minute is over, if the creature is still\r\nalive, it dies.\r\nOnce used, the corpse shaker must recharge and\r\ncannot be used again for 24 hours.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Gibbering Shield[\/b]\r\n\r\n[i]Prerequisite: 6th-level artificer[\/i]\r\n\r\n[i]Item: a shield (requires attunement)[\/i]\r\n\r\nA creature gains a +1 bonus to Armor Class while\r\nwielding this shield.\r\nWhile holding this shield, creatures within 5 feet of\r\nyou, including yourself, can\u2019t take reactions. Creatures\r\nthat are immune to psychic damage are immune to this\r\neffect.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Tracking Sensor[\/b]\r\n\r\n[i]Item: any Tiny object (requires attunement)[\/i]\r\n\r\nYou always know the direction and distance of this\r\nitem as long as you are attuned to it, and it is within 1\r\nmile of you. As usual, you lose your attunement to this\r\nitem if it is further than 100ft from you for 24 hours.","subclass_options":"[b][h1]Alchemist[\/h1]\r\n[\/b]\r\nAn Alchemist is an expert at combining reagents to produce mystical effects.

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.\r\nYou 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.\r\n[table]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td][b]d6[\/b][\/td]\r\n[td][b]Effect[\/b][\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]1[\/td]\r\n[td]Healing.

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).\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Restorative Reagents[\/b]\r\nStarting at 9th level, you can incorporate restorative reagents into some of your works:\r\n\r\nWhenever 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).\r\n\r\nYou 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.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Chemical Mastery[\/b]\r\nBy 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:\r\n\r\nYou gain resistance to acid damage and poison damage, and you are now immune to the poisoned condition.\r\n\r\nYou 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\u2019s 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.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n[b][h1]Armorer[\/h1]\r\n[\/b]\r\nAn 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.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Tools of the Trade[\/b]\r\nWhen 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.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Armorer Spells[\/b]\r\nStarting 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.\r\n[table]\r\n[tr]\r\n[th]Artificer Level[\/th]\r\n[th]Spells[\/th]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]3[\/td]\r\n[td]Magic Missile, Thunderwave[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]5[\/td]\r\n[td]Mirror Image, Shatter[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]9[\/td]\r\n[td]Hypnotic Pattern, Lightning Bolt[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]13[\/td]\r\n[td]Fire Shield, Greater Invisibilty[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]17[\/td]\r\n[td]Passwall, Wall of Force[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[\/table]\r\n[b]Arcane Armor[\/b]\r\nBeginning 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.\r\n\r\nYou gain the following benefits while wearing this armor:\r\n\r\nIf the armor normally has a Strength requirement, the arcane armor lacks this requirement for you.\r\n\r\nYou can use the arcane armor as a spellcasting focus for your artificer spells.\r\n\r\nThe armor attaches to you and can\u2019t 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.\r\n\r\nThe armor continues to be Arcane Armor until you don another suit of armor or you die.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Armor Model[\/b]\r\nBeginning 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.\r\n\r\nEach 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.\r\n\r\nYou can change the armor's model whenever you finish a short or long rest, provided you have smith's tools in hand.\r\n\r\n[u][i]Guardian.[\/i][\/u] You design your armor to be in the front line of conflict. It has the following features:\r\n\r\n[i]Thunder Gauntlets[\/i]. 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.\r\n\r\n[i]Defensive Field[\/i]. 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.\r\n\r\n[u][i]Infiltrator.[\/i][\/u] You customize your armor for subtle undertakings. It has the following features:\r\n\r\n[i]Lightning Launcher[\/i]. 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.\r\n\r\n[i]Powered Steps[\/i]. Your walking speed increases by 5 feet.\r\n\r\n[i]Dampening Field[\/i]. 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.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Extra Attack[\/b]\r\nStarting at 5th level, you can attack twice, rather than once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Armor Modifications[\/b]\r\nAt 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.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Perfected Armor[\/b]\r\nAt 15th level, your Arcane Armor gains additional benefits based on its model, as shown below.\r\n\r\n[i]Guardian[\/i]. 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 the creature to make a Strength saving throw against your spell save DC, pulling the creature up to 30 feet toward you 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.\r\n\r\nYou 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.\r\n\r\n[i]Infiltrator[\/i]. 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.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n[b][h1]Artillerist[\/h1]\r\n[\/b]\r\nAn 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.\"\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Tool Proficiency[\/b]\r\nWhen 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.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Artillerist Spells[\/b]\r\nStarting 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\u2019t count against the number of artificer spells you prepare.\r\n[table]\r\n[tr]\r\n[th]Artificer Level[\/th]\r\n[th]Spells[\/th]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]3[\/td]\r\n[td]Shield, Thunderwave[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]5[\/td]\r\n[td]Scorching Ray, Shatter[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]9[\/td]\r\n[td]Fireball, Wind Wall[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]13[\/td]\r\n[td]Ice Storm, Wall of Fire[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]17[\/td]\r\n[td]Cone of Cold, Wall of Force[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[\/table]\r\n[b]Eldritch Cannon[\/b]\r\nAlso 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.\r\n\r\nThe 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.\r\n\r\nWhen 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.\r\n[table]\r\n[tr]\r\n[th]Cannon[\/th]\r\n[th]Activation[\/th]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]Flamethrower[\/td]\r\n[td]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.[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]Force Ballista[\/td]\r\n[td]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.[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]Protector[\/td]\r\n[td]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).[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[\/table]\r\n[b]Arcane Firearm[\/b]\r\nAt 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.\r\nYou 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.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Explosive Cannon[\/b]\r\nStarting at 9th level, every eldritch cannon you create is more destructive:\r\n\r\nThe cannon's damage rolls all increase by 1d8.\r\n\r\nAs 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.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Fortified Position[\/b]\r\nBy 15th level, you\u2019re a master at forming well-defended emplacements using Eldritch Cannon:\r\nYou 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.\r\nYou 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.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n[b][h1]Battle Smith[\/h1]\r\n[\/b]\r\nArmies 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\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Tool Proficiency[\/b]\r\nWhen 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.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Battle Smith Spells[\/b]\r\nStarting 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\u2019t count against the number of artificer spells you prepare.\r\n[table]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td][b]Alchemist Level[\/b][\/td]\r\n[td][b]Spells[\/b][\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]3[\/td]\r\n[td]Heroism, Shield[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]5[\/td]\r\n[td]Branding Smite, Warding Bond[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]9[\/td]\r\n[td]Aura of Vitality, Conjure Barrage[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]13[\/td]\r\n[td]Aura of Purity, Fire Shield[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]17[\/td]\r\n[td]Banishing Smite, Mass Cure Wounds[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[\/table]\r\n[b]Battle Ready[\/b]\r\nWhen you reach 3rd level, your combat training and your experiments with magic have paid off in two ways:\r\nYou gain proficiency with martial weapons.\r\nWhen you attack with a magic weapon, you can use your Intelligence modifier, instead of Strength or Dexterity modifier, for the attack and damage rolls.\r\n\r\n\r\nSteel Defender\r\nBy 3rd level, your tinkering has borne you a faithful companion, a [blocklink:867570] 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.\r\n\r\nIn 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.\r\n\r\nIf 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.\r\n\r\nAt 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.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Extra Attack[\/b]\r\nStarting at 5th level, you can attack twice, rather than once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Arcane Jolt[\/b]\r\nAt 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:\r\n\r\nThe target takes an extra 2d6 force damage.\r\nChoose 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.\r\nYou 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.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Improved Defender[\/b]\r\nAt 15th level, your Arcane Jolt and steel defender become more powerful:\r\n\r\nThe extra damage and the healing of your Arcane Jolt both increase to 4d6.\r\nYour steel defender gains a +2 bonus to Armor Class.\r\nWhenever your steel defender uses its Deflect Attack, the attacker takes force damage equal to 1d4 + your Intelligence modifier.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n[b][h1]Forge Adept[\/h1]\r\n[\/b]\r\nAs aForge Adept you learned ancient crafting style, so do carry on these ancient traditions, creating mystical weapons and armor, strengthening allies on the battlefield, and bringing down enemies with weapons imbued with your own soul energy,Or are you replicating these traditions on your own?\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Tool Proficiency[\/b]\r\nWhen you adopt this specialization at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with smith\u2019s tools. If you already have this proficiency, you gain proficiency with one other type of artisan\u2019s tools of your choice.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Forge Adept Spells[\/b]\r\nStarting 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\u2019t count against the number of artificer spells you prepare.\r\n[table]\r\n[tr]\r\n[th]Artificer Level[\/th]\r\n[th]Spells[\/th]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]3[\/td]\r\n[td]Armor of Agathys, Shield of Faith[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]5[\/td]\r\n[td]Spiritual Weapon, Warding Bond[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]9[\/td]\r\n[td]Beacon of Hope, Remove Curse[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]13[\/td]\r\n[td]Death Ward, Fire Shield[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]17[\/td]\r\n[td]Banishing Smite, Wall of Force[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[\/table]\r\n[b]Battle Ready[\/b]\r\nBeginning at 3rd level, you\u2019re 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.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Ghall'Shaarat[\/b]\r\nAt 3rd level, you learn to imbue a weapon with a fraction of your spirit. The Dhakaani daashors called this weapon the ghaal\u2019shaarat, Goblin for \u201cmighty blade.\u201d Imbuing your ghaal\u2019shaarat 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 ghaal\u2019shaarat.\r\n\r\nOnce imbued, your ghaal\u2019shaarat 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.\r\n\r\nYour ghaal\u2019shaarat\u2019s benefits remain until the weapon is destroyed or until you use this ability to imbue a new item with this power. Other creatures can\u2019t benefit from your ghaal\u2019shaarat\u2019s powers, and to them, it functions as the unimbued weapon did.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Extra Attack[\/b]\r\nStarting at 5th level, you can attack twice, rather than once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Runes of War[\/b]\r\nAt 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).\r\n\r\nWhen 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.\r\n\r\nYou 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.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Perfect Weapon[\/b]\r\nAt 15th level, you learn how to imbue your ghaal\u2019shaarat with additional power, and how to draw on it in time of need. The first time you attack with your ghaal\u2019shaarat 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 ghaal\u2019shaarat, the AC bonus remains in effect until the start of your next turn.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, 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\u2019re holding your ghaal\u2019shaarat.\r\n\r\nYou have resistance to psychic damage, and you can\u2019t be charmed or frightened.\r\nYou use your ghaal\u2019shaarat 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 ghaal\u2019shaarat, the target takes an extra 1d6 damage of the chosen type.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n[b][h1]Maverick[\/h1]\r\n[\/b]\r\nIn the world of artifice, the Maverick is a jack of all trades and master of none. A Maverick is always experimenting with new designs, forever abandoning yesterday\u2019s work in pursuit of a new obsession. While often dismissed by other artificers as eccentric amateurs, in their refusal to follow established tradition, a Maverick may stumble on remarkable breakthroughs\u2014though their idiosyncratic techniques can rarely be replicated by others.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Arcane Breakthroughs[\/b]\r\nStarting at 3rd level, you gain amazing insights into spell effects beyond the reach of most artificers. Choose one of the following classes: bard, cleric, druid, paladin, ranger, sorcerer, warlock, or wizard. This class\u2019s spells become part of your Breakthrough spell list. You can choose an additional class and add its spells to your Breakthrough spell list at 5th, 9th, 13th, and 17th levels.\r\n\r\nWhen you change your list of prepared artificer spells after a long rest, you can prepare an additional 1st-level spell. This spell must be from your Breakthrough spell list. When you reach certain levels in this class, you increase the number of Breakthrough spells that you can prepare. You can prepare an additional 2nd-level spell at 5th level, an additional 3rd-level spell at 9th level, an additional 4th-level spell at 13th level, and an additional 5th-level spell at 17th level. These prepared spells don\u2019t count against the number of artificer spells you prepare.\r\n\r\nWhen you cast a spell you\u2019ve prepared using this feature, it\u2019s considered to be an artificer spell for you, and Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for it. When you swap a prepared Breakthrough spell for a new spell, you lose any ongoing benefits from having cast it (such as a steed summoned by find steed).\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Cantrip Specialist[\/b]\r\nYou excel at producing minor magical effects\u2014and at abandoning your current projects to pursue new ideas. Starting at 3rd level you gain the following benefits:\r\n\r\nYou know one additional cantrip beyond what\u2019s normally allowed for an artificer of your level.\r\nWhen you finish a short rest (instead of 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 or your Breakthrough spell list. This cantrip is considered an artificer cantrip for you.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Cantrip Savant[\/b]\r\nStarting at 5th level, you continue to develop your talent for the simplest spells. You gain the following benefits:\r\n\r\nWhen casting an artificer cantrip, you gain a +1 bonus to attack rolls and to your artificer spell save DC unless your spellcasting focus grants a higher bonus. This bonus increases when you reach certain levels in this class, increasing to +2 at 9th level and +3 at 15th level.\r\nAs an action, you can replace an artificer cantrip you know with a different cantrip from the artificer spell list or your Breakthrough spell list. Once you use this feature, you can\u2019t use it again until you finish a long rest.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Superior Breakthoughs[\/b]\r\nStarting at 9th level, when you cast one of the spells you prepared with Arcane Breakthroughs, you can do so as if the spell was cast using a spell slot two levels higher than the spell slot you expend.\r\nYou can use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1). You regain all expended uses after you finish a long rest.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Work in Progress[\/b]\r\nStarting at 9th level, you can ready half-formed projects for easy completion when needed. As an action, you can replace any prepared artificer spell with any other spell from the artificer spell list, which then counts as a prepared spell for you.\r\n\r\nOnce you use this feature, you can\u2019t use it again until you finish a short or a long rest.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Final Breakthrough[\/b]\r\nAt 15th level, you gain one additional spell slot of each spell level you can prepare. These spell slots can only be used to cast the bonus spells granted by your Arcane Breakthroughs. As you gain levels in this class and are able to prepare 5th-level artificer spells, you gain an additional spell slot of that level.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n[b][h1]Defiler[\/h1]\r\n[\/b]\r\nA Defiler is a master of deadly substances both caustic and\r\ncorruptive, using foul mixtures to create sickeningly permanent\r\neffects. Any battlefield a Defiler enters is hauntingly marked with\r\ncruel magic that scars the landscape and mutilates its victims.\r\nValued for scorched-earth warfare, members of the specialization\r\nare summoned when morals and long-term consequences no\r\nlonger matter.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Bonus Proficiencies[\/b]\r\nWhen you adopt this specialization at 3rd level, you gain\r\nproficiency with the poisoner\u2019s kit, and can use it as a spell-\r\ncasting focus for your artificer spells. If you already have this\r\nproficiency, you gain proficiency with one other type of artisan\u2019s\r\ntools of your choice.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Defiler Spells[\/b]\r\nStarting at 3rd level, you always have certain spells prepared after\r\nyou reach particular levels in this class, as shown in the Defiler\r\nSpells table. These spells count as artificer spells for you, but they\r\ndon\u2019t count against the number of artificer spells you prepare.\r\n[table]\r\n[tr]\r\n[th]Artificer Level[\/th]\r\n[th]Spells[\/th]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]3[\/td]\r\n[td]grease, ray of sickness[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]5[\/td]\r\n[td]protection from poison, ray of enfeeblement[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]9[\/td]\r\n[td]hunger of Hadar, magic circle[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]13[\/td]\r\n[td]blight, hallucinatory terrain[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]17[\/td]\r\n[td]cloudkill, contagion[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[\/table]\r\n[b]Tainted Ground[\/b]\r\nAt 3rd level, you learn to magically salt the earth around you,\r\ncorrupting it and sickening creatures that enter the contaminated\r\narea. As an action, you can use a poisoner\u2019s kit to befoul a 10-foot\r\ncube you can see within 60 feet of you, choosing one of the\r\noptions listed below. The area becomes corrupted for 1 minute,\r\nuntil you use this feature again, or until it is dispelled by a dispel\r\nmagic spell. An area affected by this feature remains forever\r\nscarred and unable to support any kind of plant or animal life after\r\nthe effect ends. You are immune to the effects of Tainted Ground\r\nthat you create.\r\nOnce you use this feature, you can\u2019t use it again until you finish\r\na long rest, unless you expend a spell slot of 1st level or higher to\r\nuse it again.\r\nAt the start of each of your turns, the corruption spreads to one\r\nadjacent 10-foot cube of your choice. The new cube must have at\r\nleast one face adjacent to another cube of Tainted Ground, and has\r\nthe same effect as it.\r\n\r\n[i]Corrosive Smog[\/i]. Foul, heavy smoke fills the area, scouring the\r\neyes and lungs and lightly obscuring the area. When a creature\r\nenters the area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there,\r\nit takes 1d6 acid damage and must succeed on a Constitution\r\nsaving throw against your artificer spell save DC or become\r\nblinded until the start of its next turn. This damage increases when\r\nyou reach higher levels in this class, to 2d6 at 5th level, 3d6 at 9th\r\nlevel, and 4d6 at 15th level.\r\n\r\n[i]Draining Tar.[\/i] Sticky black tar fills the area, coating any objects\r\nnot being worn or carried within it. For every 1 foot a creature\r\nmoves through this area, it must expend 4 feet of movement. When\r\na creature enters the area for the first time on a turn or starts its\r\nturn there, it takes 1d6 necrotic damage. This damage increases\r\nwhen you reach higher levels in this class, to 2d6 at 5th level, 3d6\r\nat 9th level, and 4d6 at 15th level.\r\n\r\n[i]Raging Inferno[\/i]. Intense supernatural flames burn within the\r\narea, igniting flammable objects in the area that aren\u2019t being worn\r\nor carried. When a creature enters the area for the first time on a\r\nturn or starts its turn there, it takes 1d10 fire damage. This damage\r\nincreases when you reach higher levels in this class, to 2d10 at\r\n5th level, 3d10 at 9th level, and 4d10 creatures at 15th level.\r\nVile Radiation. Sickly bright light fills the area, befouling all it\r\ntouches. When a creature enters the area for the first time on a turn\r\nor starts its turn there, it takes 1d6 radiant damage and must\r\nsucceed on a Constitution saving throw against your artificer spell\r\nsave DC or become poisoned until the start of its next turn. This\r\ndamage increases when you reach higher levels in this class, to 2d6\r\nat 5th level, 3d6 at 9th level, and 4d6 at 15th level.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Creeping Corruption[\/b]\r\nStarting at 5th level, you can use your Tainted Ground to channel\r\nyour foul magics. When you cast an artificer spell while standing\r\nwithin an area of Tainted Ground, you choose any point covered\r\nby Tainted Ground. The spell is cast as if you were at the chosen\r\npoint, but you must use your own senses. After you cast a spell of\r\n1st level or higher in this way, you can cause the Tainted Ground\r\nto spreads to a number of 10-foot-cubes equal to the spell\u2019s level.\r\nEach new cube must have at least one face adjacent to another\r\ncube of Tainted Ground.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Reduced Casualties[\/b]\r\nStarting at 9th level, you learn how to protect others from your\r\nown powers. When you cast an artificer spell or create an area of\r\nTainted Ground, you can designate any number of creatures you\r\ncan see to be immune to its effects.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Profane Empowerment[\/b]\r\nBy 15th level, your exposure to horrific pollutants allows you to\r\nbecome one with the contaminants:\r\n\u2022 Creatures of your choice have resistance to the damage type\r\ndealt by your Tainted Ground while standing in it.\r\n\u2022 If you start your turn within an area of Tainted Ground,\r\nyour speed is increased by 10 feet until the end of the turn.\r\n\u2022 When you cast an artificer spell that deals damage while\r\nstanding in a patch of Tainted Ground, you can choose to\r\nchange the spell\u2019s damage type to the same type that the\r\nTainted Ground deals.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n[b][h1]Firescrapper[\/h1]\r\n[\/b]\r\nAs the name implies, firescrappers specialize in the use of\r\npyromantic magic. They are quite unlike wizardly pyromancers,\r\nhowever, as they use this magic to become powerful front-line\r\nfighters rather than back-line mages. In the Last War, efforts of\r\nfirescrappers turned the tides of many a battle, and they were\r\nhighly valued assets of many different armies. Since the war\u2019s\r\nconclusion, the demand for these artificers has decreased\r\ndramatically, but there are still many that learn and pass on the\r\ntechniques of this specialization.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Tool Proficiency[\/b]\r\nWhen you adopt this specialization at 3rd level, you gain\r\nproficiency with smith's tools. If you already have this\r\nproficiency, you gain proficiency with one other type of artisan's\r\ntools of your choice.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Firescrapper Spells[\/b]\r\nStarting at 3rd level, you always have certain spells prepared after\r\nyou reach particular levels in this class, as shown in the\r\nFirescrapper Spells table. These spells count as artificer spells for\r\nyou, but they don't count against the number of artificer spells\r\nyou prepare.\r\n[table]\r\n[tr]\r\n[th]Artificer Level[\/th]\r\n[th]Spells[\/th]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]3[\/td]\r\n[td]absorb elements, shield[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]5[\/td]\r\n[td]flaming sphere, heat metal[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]9[\/td]\r\n[td]fireball, lightning bolt[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]13[\/td]\r\n[td]elemental bane, fire shield[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]17[\/td]\r\n[td]dawn, immolation[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[\/table]\r\n[b]Arcane Gauntlets[\/b]\r\nAt 3rd level, you learn how to craft magical, technologically\r\nenhanced gauntlets that make for brutally effective weapons.\r\nCreating a pair of these magical gauntlets takes an hour of\r\nuninterrupted work, which can coincide with a short or long rest,\r\nand requires the use of smith's tools and 30 gp of materials.\r\nCreating your first pair of gauntlets is free. The gauntlets are\r\nspecially designed for your body, and are ineffective when used\r\nby other creatures. They are considered martial melee weapons\r\nwith which you are proficient. They deal 1d8 bludgeoning\r\ndamage on a hit, have the light property, and you use your\r\nIntelligence modifier for their attack and damage rolls. Also,\r\nwhen you engage in two-weapon fighting with these gauntlets,\r\nyou can add this modifier to the damage of the secondary attack.\r\nThough the gauntlets are magical, they can still be infused.\r\nWhile wielding these gauntlets, you can activate them as a\r\nbonus action. Once you do so, you can't do so again until you\r\nfinish a long rest. You can also expend a spell slot of 1st level or\r\nhigher as an alternative way to activate them. If you spend a slot\r\nof 2nd level or higher, the first time you hit a creature with the\r\nactivated gauntlets you deal an additional 1d8 fire or lightning\r\ndamage (your choice) to the target for each slot level above 1st.\r\nThe gauntlets remain activated for up to 1 minute. When\r\nyou hit a creature with one of your activated gauntlets, you\r\ncan choose to have the gauntlet deal an additional 1d8 fire\r\ndamage or lightning damage to its target (you choose when you\r\nactivate the gauntlets). However, when you do so, each of your\r\ngauntlets become heated until the end of the turn. If you choose to\r\ndeal this bonus damage while your gauntlets are heated, they\r\nbecome overheated. This causes the target to take 3d8 additional\r\nfire or lightning damage, rather than 1d8, and each creature in a\r\n15-foot cone behind the target must make a Dexterity saving\r\nthrow against your artificer spell save DC, as heat is expelled\r\nfrom your gauntlets in a blast of energy. A creature takes 3d8 fire\r\nor lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on\r\na successful one. After your gauntlets overheat, they deactivate\r\nand cannot be activated again for the next minute\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Extra Attack[\/b]\r\nStarting at 5th level, you can attack twice, rather than once,\r\nwhenever you take the Attack action on your turn.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Enhanced Weaponry[\/b]\r\nBy 9th level, you have incorporated a multitude of improvements\r\ninto your arcane gauntlets:\r\n\u2022 Your gauntlets use d10s, rather than d8s, for all of their\r\ndamage rolls. This includes their weapon damage dice, as well\r\nas the damage dice used for their activated effects.\r\n\u2022 While you wield your gauntlets in both hands, you gain a +1\r\nbonus to your AC.\r\n\u2022 When you deal fire or lightning damage with your gauntlets,\r\nyou can choose to push damaged targets up to 10 feet away\r\nfrom you.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Charged Defense[\/b]\r\nStarting at 15th level, you can channel the energy within your\r\ncontraptions into arcane armor. When you hit a creature with a\r\nweapon attack, you can use this feature to gain 4d6 temporary hit\r\npoints that last until the start of your next turn. If any of these\r\ntemporary hit points remain at the end of their duration, a burst of\r\nflame or lightning is expelled from you. Each creature within 5\r\nfeet of you takes fire damage or lightning damage (your choice)\r\nequal to the remaining temporary hit points.\r\nYou can use this energy a number of times equal to your\r\nIntelligence modifier (minimum of once), but you can do\r\nso no more than once on a turn. You regain all expended\r\nuses when you finish a long rest.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n[b][h1]Lightslinger[\/h1]\r\n[\/b]\r\nA Lightslinger learns how to harness magical, radiant energy and\r\nput it to use in their weaponry. These artificers create complex\r\nmachines that channel and focus light, turning that energy into\r\npowerful beams that can sear their foes. These machines come in\r\nmultiple varieties, each with a distinct purpose and common\r\nname. The aurum blaster is the generalist weapon, and also the\r\nmost defensive weapon, considering its common pairing with a\r\nshield. The bolt shooter is a long range weapon, capable of\r\noutranging longbows and taking out targets with powerful,\r\nfocused blasts. The lux cannon is a short ranged weapon, capable\r\nof hitting multiple foes at once.\r\nThough lightslingers were relatively uncommon in the time of\r\nthe Last War, those that did exist made versatile combatants that\r\nwere an asset to any army. Capable both as front-line soldiers and\r\nback-line artillery, these artificers are well respected warriors.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Tool Proficiency[\/b]\r\nWhen you adopt this specialization at 3rd level, you gain\r\nproficiency with glassblower's tools. If you already have this\r\nproficiency, you gain proficiency with one other type of artisan's\r\ntools of your choice.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Lightslinger Spells[\/b]\r\nStarting at 3rd level, you always have certain spells prepared after\r\nyou reach particular levels in this class, as shown in the\r\nLightslinger Spells table. These spells count as artificer spells for\r\nyou, but they don't count against the number of artificer spells\r\nyou prepare.\r\n[table]\r\n[tr]\r\n[th]Artificer Level[\/th]\r\n[th]Spells[\/th]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]3[\/td]\r\n[td]faerie fire, guiding bolt[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]5[\/td]\r\n[td]branding smite, moonbeam[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]9[\/td]\r\n[td]crusader\u2019s mantle, daylight[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]13[\/td]\r\n[td]guardian of faith, sickening radiance[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]17[\/td]\r\n[td]dawn, wall of light[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[\/table]\r\n[b]Lightsmith[\/b]\r\nBeginning at 3rd level, whenever you finish a short or\r\nlong rest, you can magically construct one of the\r\nfollowing weapons: an aurum blaster, a lux cannon,\r\nor a bolt shooter. If you already have a weapon\r\nconstructed, you must transform that weapon into\r\na new type rather than constructing a new one.\r\nAfter you gain this subclass, the first weapon you\r\nconstruct is free. If you lose your weapon, however,\r\nreplacing it requires 50 gp of materials. Transforming\r\nyour weapon is always free. You are proficient with\r\nthese weapons, and you use your Intelligence modifier\r\nfor their attack and damage rolls. They function by\r\nchannelling your inner magic, and thus cannot be\r\nwielded by other creatures. Each of these weapons\r\nhave the following special property:\r\n\r\n[i]Recharge (X).[\/i] Only X attacks can be made with\r\na weapon that has the recharge property before it\r\nneeds to be recharged. A weapon can be recharged\r\nas a bonus action (even if it still has charges left),\r\nbut it cannot be recharged on the same turn it\r\nis used to make an attack.\r\nThe weapons\u2019 other properties are detailed\r\nin the following table:\r\n[table]\r\n[tr]\r\n[th]Weapon[\/th]\r\n[th]Damage[\/th]\r\n[th]Properties[\/th]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]Aurum Blaster[\/td]\r\n[td]1d8 radiant[\/td]\r\n[td]Ranged (60\/240), recharge (4)[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]Bolt Shooter[\/td]\r\n[td]1d12 radiant[\/td]\r\n[td]Ranged (300\/1200), recharge (2),\r\ntwo-handed[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]Lux Cannon[\/td]\r\n[td]1d8 radiant[\/td]\r\n[td]Special, recharge (2), two-handed[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[\/table]\r\nThe lux cannon\u2019s special property is described below:\r\n\r\n[i]Spec[\/i][i]ial[\/i]. You do not make attack rolls with this weapon. Instead,\r\nyour attacks with it shoot blasts of radiant energy that fill a line\r\n5-feet wide and 10-feet long extending from you. Each creature in\r\nthe area must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw against your\r\nArtificer spell save DC or take the damage of this weapon.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Empowered Ammunition[\/b]\r\nAlso at 3rd level, you can temporarily empower the shots of your\r\nLightsmith weapons. When you recharge one of these weapons,\r\nyou can use this feature by expending a spell slot of 1st level or\r\nhigher. Also, once per long rest you can use this feature without\r\nexpending a spell slot, and gain the same effects as if you had used\r\na 1st level spell slot. When you use this feature, the weapon gains\r\none of the following enhanced effects (based on the weapon\u2019s\r\ntype) until it is next recharged:\r\n\r\n[i]Aurum Blaster[\/i]. Attacks made with the weapon deal bonus\r\nradiant damage on a hit: 2d4 for a 1st level slot, plus 1d4 for each\r\nspell level higher than 1st. You can deal this bonus damage only\r\nonce per turn.\r\n\r\n[i]Bolt Shooter[\/i]. Attacks made with the weapon explode in a burst\r\nof light. Hit or miss, the target and each creature within 5 feet of it\r\nmust succeed on a Dexterity saving throw against your artificer\r\nspell save DC or take 2d6 radiant damage for a 1st level slot, plus\r\n1d6 for each spell level higher than 1st.\r\n\r\n[i]Lux Cannon[\/i]. The area of effect of attacks made with the\r\nweapon become cones, rather than lines, and any creature that fails\r\nits save against this weapon is pushed up to 5 feet away from you,\r\nknocked prone, and dealt 1d4 additional radiant damage. The\r\ncone\u2019s size is equal to the line\u2019s length. If you use a slot of 2nd\r\nlevel or higher, the additional damage is increased by 2d4 for each\r\nspell level higher than 1st.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Augmented Armaments[\/b]\r\nAt 5th level, all of your weapons are improved. None of these\r\nimprovements can be combined with the Extra Attack feature.\r\n\r\n[i]Aurum Blaster[\/i]. The aurum blaster\u2019s recharge (4) property is\r\nreplaced with the recharge (8) property, and you can attack twice,\r\ninstead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn\r\nand attack only with your aurum blaster.\r\n\r\n[i]Bolt Shooter[\/i]. When you take the Attack action on your turn,\r\nyou can make a single attack with your bolt shooter. This attack is\r\nmade with advantage, and unless this advantage is cancelled out\r\nby disadvantage, it deals an additional 1d12 radiant damage on a\r\nhit if the lower of the two rolls would also hit the target.\r\n\r\n[i]Lux Cannon.[\/i] The lines created by this weapon have a length\r\nof 20 feet, rather than 10 feet, and a creature that succeeds on the\r\nsave imposed by this weapon takes half damage, rather than none.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Aurum Bombs[\/b]\r\nAt 9th level, you learn how to craft magical explosives, called\r\naurum bombs, that create bursts of blinding light. Whenever you\r\nfinish a long rest, you can create a number of aurum bombs equal\r\nto your Intelligence modifier (minimum 1). Unused bombs\r\ndisappear when you take your next long rest.\r\nAs an action, you can throw an aurum bomb at a point you can\r\nsee within 60 feet of you. The bomb explodes at that point,\r\nforcing each creature within a 10-foot radius area to make\r\nDexterity saving throws against your Artificer spell save DC. On\r\na failed save, a creature takes 2d10 radiant damage and is blinded\r\nuntil the end of your next turn. On a successful save, a creature\r\ntakes half as much damage and is not blinded.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Radiant Mastery[\/b]\r\nStarting at 15th level, your Aurum Bombs and Lightsmith\r\nWeapons are both improved.\r\n\u2022 The damage of your aurum bombs is increased to 4d10.\r\n\u2022 Each of your Lightsmith Weapons have an additional damage\r\ndie, for a total of 2d8 for the Aurum Blaster and Lux Cannon\r\nand 2d12 for the Bolt Shooter.\r\n\u2022 Whenever you use your Empowered Ammunition feature, you\r\ncan transform your Lightsmith weapon into another type\r\nimmediately before recharging it.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n[b][h1]Effigist[\/h1]\r\n[\/b]\r\nEffigists use a combination of arcane and eldritch arts\r\nto manipulate the bodies of other creatures by way of\r\ndolls and figurines. Many effigists come from rural tribes,\r\nbut the tradition is slowly gaining students in more\r\npopulated areas.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Tool Proficiency[\/b]\r\nYou gain proficiency with one of the following: mason\u2019s\r\ntools, potter\u2019s tools, or weaver\u2019s tools.\r\n\r\n[b]Effigist Spells[\/b]\r\n3rd-level Effigist feature\r\nYou always have certain spells prepared after you reach\r\nparticular levels in this class, as shown in the Effigist Spells\r\ntable. These spells count as artificer spells for you, but they\r\ndon\u2019t count against the number of artificer spells you prep\r\n[table]\r\n[tr]\r\n[th]Artificer Level[\/th]\r\n[th]Spells[\/th]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]3[\/td]\r\n[td]hex, sleep[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]5[\/td]\r\n[td]hold person, silence[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]9[\/td]\r\n[td]bestow curse, slow[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]13[\/td]\r\n[td]compulsion, dominate beast[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]17[\/td]\r\n[td]dominate person, hold monster[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[\/table]\r\n[b]Effigy Connection[\/b]\r\n3rd-level Effigist feature\r\nYou learn how to create magical effigies. Using any set\r\nof artisan\u2019s tools of your choice, you can take an action to\r\nmagically create a Tiny figurine in your hands. This figurine\r\ncan be held in one hand, and you can use it as a spellcasting\r\nfocus. When you create the effigy, you determine its\r\nappearance. It may be a jade figurine, a sackcloth doll, a\r\nclay mock-up, or even spoons in a pickle jar.\r\nOnce you create a magical effigy, you can\u2019t do so again\r\nuntil you finish a long rest or until you expend a spell slot\r\nof 1st level or higher. You can only have one magical effigy\r\nat a time. If you create a new one, the original one loses its\r\nmagic. The effigy also loses its magic after 1 hour, and you\r\ncan dismiss its magic early as an action.\r\nWhen you create an effigy you designate a creature within\r\n60 feet of you that you can see or hear for it to represent.\r\nThis connection remains even if the creature moves out of\r\nrange. As an action on each of your turns, you can designate\r\nfor the effigy to represent a new qualifying creature. This\r\nconnection ends when the effigy loses its magic.\r\nYou can target the represented creature with spells that\r\nhave a range of Touch, by casting such a spell on the effigy.\r\nThe effigy counts as a creature that you can see for the\r\npurposes of what you can target with such a spell.\r\nAs a bonus action on each of your turns, you can\r\nexpose the effigy to a harmful effect within 5 feet of you to\r\npotentially damage the represented creature. The harmful\r\neffect must deal bludgeoning, piercing, slashing, acid, cold,\r\nfire, lightning, necrotic, radiant, or\r\nthunder damage. When you harm\r\nthe effigy, the\r\nrepresented\r\ncreature must\r\nsucceed on a\r\nWisdom saving\r\nthrow or else\r\ntake 2d8 of the\r\ncorresponding\r\ndamage type.\r\nIf you use your\r\naction to cast a\r\nspell that deals\r\na qualifying\r\ntype of damage,\r\nyou can choose\r\nfor the effigy connection to deal that type of damage. For\r\nexample, if you use your action to cast frostbite, you can\r\nchoose for the effigy connection to deal cold damage,\r\nregardless of whether you exposed the effigy to the actual\r\nspell effects or not.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Modify Movement[\/b]\r\n5th-level Effigist feature\r\nIf your represented creature makes a Strength or Dexterity\r\nbased saving throw, attack roll, or ability check, you can\r\nuse your reaction to force them to do it with advantage or\r\ndisadvantage (your choice).\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Concentrated[\/b]\r\n[b]Connection[\/b]\r\n\r\n9th-level Effigist feature\r\nThe damage rolls caused by your effigy increase by 1d8.\r\nAs an action, you can see through the creature\u2019s eyes and\r\nhear what it hears, and continue to do so until you use your\r\naction to return to your normal senses or until the effigy\r\ndisappears. The creature is aware someone is perceiving\r\nthrough its senses, but does not necessarily know who it is\r\nor how they can do it.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Complete Control[\/b]\r\n15th-level Effigist feature\r\nBy 15th level, you have become a master of control. You\r\ncan cast dominate monster on a represented creature once\r\nwithout expending a spell slot, provided that you use your\r\neffigy as the spellcasting focus. Once you have used this\r\nfeature, you cannot use it again until you finish a long rest.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b][h1]The Illuminated[\/h1]\r\n[\/b]\r\nIt's long been said that great minds think alike, but few tinkering minds have the first-hand experience to prove it. There are some creators whose machinations go beyond \"inspired,\" and reach levels of \"impossibly familiar.\" Inventors who, at times, seem to become another person during their creative process, almost as if channeling the thoughts of someone else.\r\nThese are The Illuminated\u2013superior scientists who have found a way to transfer the thoughts and feelings of inventors past into their own brain, merging the two minds into one powerful force of intellectual prowess. These inventors use a device called a conduit to channel these thoughts, granting them immense knowledge and capabilities. The process itself is often painful, incredibly dangerous, and sometimes even deadly. But, as they say... Two minds are better than one.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Tool Proficiencies[\/b]\r\nWhen you adopt this specialization at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with explosives kits. If you already have this proficiency, you gain proficiency with one other type of artisan\u2019s tools of your choice.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Illuminated Spells[\/b]\r\nStarting at 3rd level, you always have certain spells prepared after you reach certain levels in this class, as shown on the Illuminated Spell Table. These spells count as artificer spells for you but do not count against the number of artificer spells you prepare.\r\n[table]\r\n[tr]\r\n[th]Artificer Level[\/th]\r\n[th]Spells[\/th]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]3[\/td]\r\n[td]boom, metric confusion[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]5[\/td]\r\n[td]cognitive dissonance, continual flame[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]9[\/td]\r\n[td]call lightning, lightning bolt[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]13[\/td]\r\n[td]resilient sphere, aura of life[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]17[\/td]\r\n[td]boooom, awaken[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[\/table]\r\n[b]Conduit[\/b]\r\nWhen you choose this specialization option at 3rd level, you spend 24 hours to construct a device that attaches somewhere to your person. This device allows you to channel the minds of artificers past into your own mind, mixing their ideas with your experiences and pushing you to greater feats of ingenuity and invention. As a bonus action, you can take lightning damage equal to 1d8 + your character level and then absorb the consciousness of an artificer from a time gone by. This damage ignores any resistance you may have but not immunity. This artificer speaks to you, their thought waves operating in tandem with yours. At 3rd level you can channel one mind at a time.\r\nIf your conduit is removed from you or destroyed while you are not channeling, you suffer a short-term madness. If it is removed from you while you are channeling one or more minds, you take 1d8 + your character level lightning damage and you must make a Charisma saving throw with a DC equal to 5 + 3 per mind you are currently channeling. Failing this save causes you to suffer a long-term madness. If your conduit is destroyed while you are channeling one or more minds you automatically fail this saving throw.\r\nYou may safely remove your conduit by spending ten minutes doing so.\r\n\r\n\r\nExtra Attack\r\nStarting at 5th level you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the attack action on your turn.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Conductor[\/b]\r\nAt 9th level you improve your conduit to better conduct the consciousnesses of the great ones. When you use your conduit, you may conduct the minds of two different past inventors at once, taking 2d8 + twice your character level in lightning damage if you do.\r\nBecause of the intricate science of channeling the minds of those long dead, or in some cases shortly dead, you are unable to treat these minds individually. That is to say that if an effect causes you to lose one of the minds operating beside you, you lose them both, and should you want to pick just one new mind to channel you must drop both and retake the penalty for channeling two minds at once.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Super Conductor[\/b]\r\nAt 15th level, you improve your conduit to superbly conduct the consciences of the great ones. When you use your conductor feature you may channel the minds of three different past inventors at once, taking 3d8 + thrice your character level in lightning damage if you do. This otherwise acts as your conductor feature.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b][u][h2]Minds[\/h2]\r\n[\/u][\/b]\r\nWhen channeling, choose one of the Minds below\r\n\r\n\r\n[i]Belamarr[\/i]\r\n\r\nYou can communicate telepathically with one willing creature on the same plane as you. If you two share a language, it can respond to you telepathically.\r\n\u2022 At 7th level, the creature needs only to understand a language, not necessarily one that you also understand, to understand you.\r\n\u2022 At 13th level, you may telepathically communicate with any number of creatures at the same time.\r\n\u2022 At 17th level, after a long rest, you may choose a plane of existence. These abilities may affect any creature on that plane in addition to the plane you\u2019re on until your next long rest.\r\n\r\n\r\n[i]Death[\/i]\r\n\r\nYour conduit allows you to take on an explosive, death-like state. As an action, you can drop to 0 hit points and are incapacitated. An explosion then radiates from your body as if you had used a Hand Grenade, counting the space you fall in as the epicenter. You are immune to any damage that may\r\ncome as a result of this explosion. In addition to the damage from the explosion, any creature who fails the Dexterity saving throw against the detonation also gains the poisoned condition and takes 1d4 poison damage at the start of their next turn.\r\n\u2022 At 7th level, you count as having dropped a Stick of Dynamite, and the poison damage increases to 2d4.\r\n\u2022 At 13th level, you count as having dropped a Volatile Void Crystal, and the poison damage increases to 3d4.\r\n\u2022 At 17th level, the poison damage increases to 4d4. Additionally, when you use this ability, you drop to 1 hit point and are burnt out instead of dropping to 0 hit points. If you are already at 1 hit point when you use this ability, you instead drop to 0 hit points\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n[i]Jonah Salt[\/i]\r\n\r\nYou gain resistance to one damage type of your choice\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nAt 7th level, you gain resistance to two damage types of your choice.\r\n\u2022 At 13th level, you gain resistance to three damage types of your choice.\r\n\u2022 At 17th level, you gain immunity to three damage types of your choice\r\n\r\n\r\n[i]Joyneer[\/i]\r\n\r\nAs an action, you can change your appearance drastically. You determine the specifics of the changes, including but not limited to your coloration, hair length, and genitalia. You can also adjust your height and weight, but not so much that you change your size. You may make yourself appear as a member of another race or class, but none of your game statistics change. You cannot duplicate the appearance of a creature that you have not seen before, and you must adopt a form that has the same basic body structure that you have. Your clothing and equipment are unaffected by this change. You stay in this form even after you die.\r\n\u2022 At 7th level, you may change your voice. As well you may change your size by up to one size category. For instance if you are medium you may take the form of a small, medium, or large creature.\r\n\u2022 At 13th level, you gain proficiency in Insight\r\nchecks and have advantage on all Deception, Intimidation, or Persuasion checks while acting in your assumed form.\r\n\u2022 At 17th level, you can cast true seeing as an artificer spell once per long rest.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n[i]Karver[\/i]\r\n\r\nYou may cast speak with plants at will,\r\nplant growth a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier per short rests, and guardian of nature once per long rest without expending a spell slot. You cast these spells as if they were artificer spells.\r\n\u2022 At 7th level, you may cast plant growth a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier per short rest.\r\n\u2022 At 13th level, you may cast guardian of nature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier per long rest.\r\n\u2022 At 17th level, you may cast druid grove once per long rest. This spell counts as an artificer spell when you cast it this way.\r\n\r\n\r\n[i]Kolt[\/i]\r\n\r\nYou gain expertise with either one-handed or two- handed firearms.\r\n\u2022 At 7th level, you ignore the jam property on any firearm you fire.\r\n\u2022 At 13th level, before you make an attack with a firearm that you are proficient with, you can choose to add +10 to the attack roll. If the attack hits, you take a -5 penalty to the attack's damage.\r\n\u2022 At 17th level, you ignore the reloading property of firearms.\r\n\r\n\r\n[i]Kwo\u2019lek[\/i]\r\n\r\nAs long as you are wearing armor, you gain a +1 bonus to your AC in addition to the benefits granted by the armor.\r\n\u2022 At 7th level, you may target one ally within 30 feet of you who is wearing armor. That target ally also gains a +1 bonus to their AC.\r\n\u2022 At 13th level, the number of armor-clad allies you may choose increases to 2.\r\n\u2022 At 17th level, the number of armor-clad allies you may choose increases to 3. Additionally, the AC bonuses you grant to yourself and to allies increases to +2\r\n\r\n\r\n[i]Latchmere[\/i]\r\n\r\nYou radiate dim light out to a distance of 30 feet. As an action, this light can dispel magical darkness in a 15-foot radius.\r\n\u2022 At 7th level, as an action, you can create a bright flash of light. Any creature within 15 feet of you who is not immune to the blinded condition must make a Constitution saving throw against your artificer spell save DC. On a failed save, the creature has disadvantage on ability checks, attack rolls, and saving throws until the end of their next turn.\r\n\u2022 At 13th level, as an action, you can release a brilliant aura of radiance. Hostile creatures within 15 feet of you take radiant damage equal to 2d12 + your Intelligence modifier.\r\n\u2022 At 17th level, the effective radius of all of your abilities from this mind increases to 30 feet, and you emit bright light instead of dim light. Additionally, the damage you deal from your brilliant aura of radiance increases to 4d12 + your Intelligence modifier.\r\n\r\n\r\n[i]Lonjonson[\/i]\r\n\r\nAs a reaction, you can turn any non-magical projectile attack into a harmless squirt of water, super-soaking the intended target, and negating the damage of the projectile.\r\n\u2022 At 7th level, you can create a wall of water on a solid surface within range. You can make the wall up to 10 feet long, 20 feet high, and 1 foot thick, which turns all projectile attacks passing through it into harmless squirts of water.\r\n\u2022 At 13th level, the width of the water wall increases to 20 feet.\r\n\u2022 At 17th level, the width of the water wall increases to 30 feet. Additionally, you can now make the wall into a ringed wall up to 10 feet in diameter, 20 feet high, and 1 foot thick.\r\n\r\n\r\n[i]Tezzla[\/i]\r\n\r\nAll of your attacks deal an additional 1d4 lightning damage. Whenever you roll for lightning damage, you may choose a target within 60ft of you. That target is struck by a bolt of lightning and is subjected to one of the following effects:\r\nIf it is an allied creature, that creature deals an additional 1d4 lightning on all damage rolls until the end of their next turn.\r\nIf the target is a hostile creature or an object, it takes an amount of lightning damage equal to half the total damage dealt by your attack, rounded down. You may not choose yourself as one of these targets.\r\n\u2022 At 7th level, you may choose two targets to be struck by a bolt of lightning instead of one. You may mix and match these targets, such as one allied creature and one enemy creature. Additionally, all lightning damage rolls granted by this mind increase to 2d4.\r\n\u2022 At 13th level, you may choose three targets instead of two. Additionally, all lightning damage rolls granted by this mind increase to 3d4.\r\n\u2022 At 17th level, you may choose five targets instead of three, and you may choose yourself as one of the targets. Additionally, all lightning damage rolls granted by this mind increase to 4d4.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n[b][h1]Rune Shaper[\/h1]\r\n[\/b]\r\n\r\nArtifcers that take on this specialty study the ancient\r\npower of runes. While runes are commonly mistaken for\r\nletters of a language, they are actually diagrams of the\r\nrelationships between ancient and eternal cosmic forces.\r\nRunes represent objective and unchangeable truths of\r\nthe universe, and the inscribing and awakening of a rune\r\ndemonstrates the caster\u2019s understanding of ultimate truths,\r\nwhich then themselves bend to the caster\u2019s wishes, allowing\r\nthem to manipulate the very laws of the multiverse.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]Giantcraft[\/b]\r\n3rd-level Rune Shaper Arti cer Specialist feature\r\nYou gain pro ciency with your choice of mason\u2019s tools, smith\u2019s tools, or woodcarver\u2019s tools, and you learn to read, speak, and write Giant.\r\n\r\n\r\n[b]rune Shaper SpellS[\/b]\r\n3rd-level Rune Shaper Arti cer Specialist feature\r\nYou always have certain spells prepared after you reach particular levels in this class, as shown in the Rune Shaper Spells table. These spells count as arti cer spells for you, but they don\u2019t count against the number of arti cer spells you prepare.\r\n[table]\r\n[tr]\r\n[th]Artificer Level[\/th]\r\n[th]Spells[\/th]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]3[\/td]\r\n[td]fog cloud, shield[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]5[\/td]\r\n[td]enlarge\/reduce, warding bond[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]9[\/td]\r\n[td]glyph of warding, tongues[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]13[\/td]\r\n[td]divination, stoneskin[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]17[\/td]\r\n[td]planar binding, telekinesis[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[\/table]\r\n[b]runic invocation[\/b]\r\n3rd-level Rune Shaper Arti cer Specialist feature\r\nYou have learned to invoke the secret truths of runes (see chapter 3: Runic Invocation). While anyone could scrawl out a rune, their power lies in the meditative practice of inscription and awakening. Upon doing so, you can tap into the raw essence of order and bend it to your will.\r\n\r\n[i]Known Runes[\/i]. You know three runes of your choice from the Giant Runic Language list.\r\nThe Runes Known column of the Rune Shaper Runic Invocation table shows when you learn additional runes. Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace oneof the runes you know with another rune from the Giant Runic Language.\r\nInscribing Runes. In order for a rune to gain power, it must rst be inscribed on an object, making that object the rune\u2019s subject of in uence. This process requires 1 hour of time and a set of artisan\u2019s tool\u2019s appropriate for the material the object is made of. For example, if you intend to inscribe a rune onto a steel sword, you would need to engrave the rune with smith\u2019s tools. After inscribing the rune, it is inert and you must awaken it to invoke its power.\r\n\r\n[i]Awakening Runes[\/i]. Awakened runes provide an awakened e ect and can be invoked. The Rune Shaper Runic Invocation table shows how many runes you can have awakened per level. You choose the runes you have awakened that are available for you to invoke (see the Invoking Runes section below). You must meet all of the runes Awakening Prerequisites in order to awaken it.\r\nYou can change your list of awakened runes when you nish a long rest. Awakening a rune requires time spent contemplating the rune, committing yourself to its truths: at least 10 minutes per rune you awaken. If you try to exceed your maximum, the oldest awakened rune goes inert and its awakened e ect ends, and the new rune is awakened. If a rune had an awakening prerequisite that is not satis ed due to a rune not being awakened, it also goes inert and its e ect ends.\r\nEach inscribed rune you awaken counts against your number of Awakened Runes, even if they are the same rune. You can only awaken a rune if it is on the list of runes you know.\r\nInvoking Runes. To invoke one of your runes, you must use the Invoke a Rune action called for in the rune\u2019s description. Once you invoke a rune, the rune\u2019s invoked e ect occurs for the duration and the rune cannot be invoked again until you nish a long rest. The rune\u2019s awakened e ect persists, even after it has been invoked.\r\n\r\n[i]Runic Invocation Ability[\/i]. Intelligence is your runic invocation ability for the runes you know from this subclass. You use your Intelligence whenever a rune refers to your runic invocation ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modi er when setting the saving throw DC for a rune you invoke and when making an attack roll with one.\r\n\r\n[i]Rune save[\/i] DC = 8 + your pro ciency bonus + your Intelligence modi er Rune attack modi er = your pro ciency bonus + your\r\nIntelligence modifer\r\n[table]\r\n[tr]\r\n[th]Artificer Level[\/th]\r\n[th]Runes Kown[\/th]\r\n[th]Awakened Runes[\/th]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]3[\/td]\r\n[td]3[\/td]\r\n[td]2[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]4[\/td]\r\n[td]3[\/td]\r\n[td]2[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]5[\/td]\r\n[td]4[\/td]\r\n[td]2[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]6[\/td]\r\n[td]4[\/td]\r\n[td]2[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]7[\/td]\r\n[td]4[\/td]\r\n[td]2[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]8[\/td]\r\n[td]5[\/td]\r\n[td]2[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]9[\/td]\r\n[td]5[\/td]\r\n[td]2[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]10[\/td]\r\n[td]5[\/td]\r\n[td]2[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]11[\/td]\r\n[td]6[\/td]\r\n[td]2[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]12[\/td]\r\n[td]6[\/td]\r\n[td]2[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]13[\/td]\r\n[td]6[\/td]\r\n[td]3[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]14[\/td]\r\n[td]7[\/td]\r\n[td]3[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]15[\/td]\r\n[td]7[\/td]\r\n[td]3[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]16[\/td]\r\n[td]7[\/td]\r\n[td]3[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]17[\/td]\r\n[td]8[\/td]\r\n[td]4[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]18[\/td]\r\n[td]8[\/td]\r\n[td]4[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[\/table]\r\n[table]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]19[\/td]\r\n[td]8[\/td]\r\n[td]4[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr]\r\n[td]20[\/td]\r\n[td]9[\/td]\r\n[td]4[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[\/table]\r\n[b]CirCle of influenCe[\/b]\r\n5th-level Rune Shaper Arti cer Specialist feature\r\nWhenever you cast an arti cer spell with a range of Touch, you can deliver the spell through one of your awakened runes within 120 feet of you.

You can choose which ones to\r\nprepare or roll 1d10 to determine randomly. You can use\r\neach prepared Improvised Attack three times, and you\r\nregain expended uses when you finish a long rest. You\r\ncan also expend a spell slot of 1st level or higher to use\r\nan Improvised Attack that you have not prepared or that\r\nyou have expended all uses for.\r\nImprovised Attacks and creatures made by them\r\nuse your spell attack bonus and spell save DC for their\r\nattacks and saving throw effects.
