Artificer by

# Artificer

A gnome sits hunched over a workbench, carefully using a needle and thread to weave runes into a leather satchel. The bag shudders as she completes her work, and a sudden, loud pop echoes through the room as a portal to an extra-dimensional space springs into being in the bag’s interior. She beams with pride at her newly crafted bag of holding.

A troll growls in hunger as it looms over a dwarf, who slides a long, metal tube from a holster at is belt. With a thunderous roar, a gout of flame erupts from the tube, and the troll’s grows turn into shrieks of panic as it turns to flee.

An elf scrambles up the castle’s wall, Baron von Hendriks’ men close behind her. As she clambers over the battlements, she reaches into her satchel, pulls out a vial and flings it at her pursuers. The bag bursts at their feet, trapping them in a thick, black glue as she makes her escape.

Makers of magic-infused objects, artificers are defined by their inventive nature. Like wizards, they see magic as a complex system waiting to be decoded and controlled through a combination of thorough study and investigation.
Artificers, though, focus on creating marvelous new magical objects. Spells are often too ephemeral and temporary for their tastes. Instead, they seek to craft durable, useful items.

### Cunning Inventors

Every artificer is defined by a special craft. Artificers see mastering the basic methods of a craft as the first step to true progress, the invention of new methods and approaches. Some artificers are engineers, students of invention and warfare who craft deadly firearms that they can augment with magic. Other artificers are alchemists. Using their knowledge of magic and various exotic ingredients, they create elixirs and explosives to aid them on their adventures. While alchemy and engineering are the most common vocations, other trades do exist.

All artificers are united by their curiosity and inventive nature. To an artificer, magic is an evolving art with the leading edge of discovery and mastery that pushes further ahead with each passing year. Artificers value novelty and discovery. This penchant pushes them to seek a life of adventure. A hidden ruin might hold forgotten magic item or a beautifully crafted mirror perfect for magical enchantment.

### Intense Rivalries
The artificers’ drive to invent and expand their knowledge creates an intense drive to uncover new magic discoveries. An artificer who hears news of a newly discovered magic item must act fast to get it before any rivals do. Good-aligned artificers recover items on adventures or offer gold or wondrous items to those who possess items they are keen to own. Evil ones have no problem committing crimes to claim what they want.
Almost every artificer has at least one rival, someone whom they seek to outdo at every turn. By the same token, artificers with similar philosophies and theories band together into loose guilds. They share their discoveries and work together to verify their theories and keep ahead of their rivals.

## Creating an Artificer
When creating an artificer, think about your character’s background and drive for adventure. What is the character’s relationship with the artificer who taught you the basics of the craft? What sort of organizations artificers have ties to.

#### Quick Build
You can make an artificer quickly by following these suggestions. First, put your highest ability score into Intelligence, followed by Constitution or Dexterity.

Second, choose the guild artisan background.

## Class Features
As an artificer, you gain the following class features

#### Hit Points
___
- **Hit Dice:** 1d8 hit points per artificer level
- **Hit Points at 1st Level:** 8 + your Constitution modifier hit points at 1st level
- **Hit Points at Higher Levels:** 1d8 (or 5) hit points plus your Constitution level at higher levels

\columnbreak

#### Proficiencies
___
- **Armor:** Light armor
- **Weapons:** Simple weapons, hand crossbow
- **Tools:** Any three tools of your choice

___
- **Saving Throws:** Constitution, Intelligence
- **Skills:** Choose two skills from: Arcana, History, Investigation, Insight, Medicine, or Nature

- *(a)* a hand crossbow and light hammer or *(b)* any two simple weapons
- *(b)* a Dungeoneer's Pack and a tool of your choice
- *(c)* leather armor

### Vocations
Starting at 1st level, you gain a vocation. Choose one of the following options: Archivist, Forge Knight, Golemancer, or Magitechnician, or Master Alchemist.

Your choice grants you features at 1st level, and again at 2nd, 6th, 11th, and 17th level.

\pagebreakNum

### Spellcasting
As a professional crafter of arcane magic, you are able to create arcane devices containing spells that allow you to access untold power. See chapter 10 for the general rules of spellcasting, and the “casting spells” section below for details on casting artificer spells.

#### Schematics
At 1st level, your collection of schematics contains three 1st-level artificer spells of your choice.

#### Learning Spells of 1st Level and Higher
Each time you gain an artificer level, you can create a new schematic for one artificer spell of your choice. This spell must be of a level for which you have the spell slots, as shown on the Artificer table. On your adventures, you may find other schematics that you can acquire or copy. (see the “Artificing” sidebar).

#### Activating Devices & Casting Spells
The Artificer table shows how many spell slots you have to cast spells of 1st level and higher. To cast any artificer cantrip or spell, you must be use an arcane device crafted specifically to cast the spell, that device must be activated, and you must have at least one free hand to activate a device you are holding or wearing.

When you cast an artificer spell using an arcane device, you do not require any somatic, verbal, or material components except for material components that have a cost, in which case the artificer must provide this component for each casting of the spell.

You must activate your arcane devices to cast artificer spells. To do so. choose a number of arcane devices equal to your Intelligence modifier + half your artificer level (rounded up, minimum of one). The devices must cast spells of a level for which you have spell slots.

For example, if you're a 3rd-level artificer, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With an Intelligence of 16, your list of activated devices can include five devices that can cast spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination. If you activate a device that can cast the 1st-level spell magic missile, you can cast it using a 1st-level or a 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn’t deactivate your device.

You can change your list of activated devices when you finish a long rest. Activating a new device requires time spend imbuing it with energy, and fixing or tinkering with various aspects of the device: this requires at least five minutes per device.

#### Cantrips
At 1st level, you know two cantrips of your choice from the artificer spell list. You learn additional cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown on the Cantrips known column of the Artificer table.

When you activate a device, choose one cantrip you know. You may use that device to cast that cantrip.

#### Ritual Caster
You can cast any artificer spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you use an arcane device for that spell.

\columnbreak

#### Spellcasting Ability
Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your artificer spells. Your magic comes from detailed formulas, runes, and equations that allow you to tap into the weave of magic. You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a Artificer spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

> ##### Artificing 
>  Artificers do not cast spells directly, but instead craft devices that channel their magical power. 
>
> ***Device Schematics.*** In order to create an arcane device, you must first have a schematic. Whenever you learn an artificer spell as you gain levels, you create a schematic, a blueprint that you reference when you craft a device.
>
> If you lose a schematic, you must either relearn the spell, or else copy it from another source. However, you may spend 8 hours to recreate a schematic of any cantrip you know.
>
> You can also discover schematics during your adventures, including reverse engineering one from another device. Copying a schematic involves exacting measurements, proper notation, and takes 2 hours per spell level (or 8 hours per spell level if reverse engineering, after which the device is destroyed) Once you have a schematic, you can begin to craft a device immediately. 
>
> ***Crafting a Device.*** Once you have a device schematic, you can begin crafting. In order to create a device, you need to have access to a set of artisan’s tools you are proficient with. Many Artificer’s use tinker’s tools, but any will do.
>
> For each level of the spell, the crafting process takes 8 hours of work and costs 25 gp. The cost represents material components you expend as you experiment with the device. 
>
> ***Devices as Objects.*** Arcane devices range from clockwork machines, runic wands, or even modified weapons such as a crossbow. Each  device weights 1 lb. per spell level and can be held in one hand. Each arcane device can be built as a seperate object, or as part of a combination of several objects (including other devices)
>
> Regardless of their form, these items are not magical, and only an artificer can use them to cast spells unless magical energy has already been infused into them (see infusions).

\pagebreakNum

### Infusions
An arcane device is a unique item that can store magical energy for later use, either by you or another creature that holds it.
When you cast an artificer spell with a casting time of 1 action, you can increase its casting time to 1 minute. If you do so and hold a device throughout the casting, you expend a spell slot, but none of the spell’s effects occur. Instead, the spell transfers into the device for later use if the item doesn’t already contain a spell from this feature.

Any creature with an Intelligence score of at least 6 that is holding the item thereafter can use an action to activate the spell. The spell is cast using your spellcasting ability, targeting the creature that activates the item. If the spell targets more than one creature, the creature that activates the item selects the additional targets. If the spell has an area of effect, it is centered on the item. If the spell’s range is self, it targets the creature that activates the item. If the spell requires concentration, the creature that activates the device must concentrate on the spell.

When you infuse a spell in this way, it must be used within 8 hours. After that time, its magic fades and is wasted. If the spell’s effect has a duration longer than instantaneous, it also ends after 8 hours. You can only have a limited number of infused spells at the same time. The number equals your Intelligence modifier.

\columnbreak

### Master Crafter
Beginning at 3rd level, choose two tools of your choice that you are proficient with. Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check that makes use of those tools.

### Restore Enchantment
Also at 3rd level, you can channel some of your magical energy to restore magical item charges.
During a short rest, you can expend a spell slot to restore one or more charges to an item you are holding. The item gains 1 charge for a 1st-level spell slot, plus one additional charge for each spell slot level higher than 1st, to a maximum of 5.

### Ability Score Increase
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

### Item Enchantment
Starting at 10th level, you are able to enchant items with magical power. Once per day, during a short or long rest, you may spend 30 minutes enchanting one or two items of your choice. These items gains one of the properties listed under “Item Enchantments”.

A creature that wields or wears an enchanted item gains its properties and may use its charges after they attune to it. A crafting artificer may select certain creature types or named characters that cannot use this item upon its creation. An item enchanted this way keeps the effect until the artificer who enchanted it uses this feature again, or if the enchanting artificer dies.

You gains two additional uses of this feature at 14th level, and two more at 18th level. You can either enchant the same item, or another item of your choice, but no item can gain the same benefit twice.

With the DM’s discretion, you can expend one or more uses of this feature to create a magical item, with the same restrictions, using the following table.

| Uses  | Magic Item Rarity |
|:---:|:-----------:|
|  1  | Uncommon |
|  2  | Rare |
|  3  | Very Rare |

### Instant Enchantment
At 20th level, you may use your action to choose one object that has an item enchantment and change it to a different item enchantment. If that item requires charges, it immediately gains one charge.

#### Arcane Guardian
Starting at 11th level, your golem can use its action to take the Attack action, and make a single attack.

Also, if you are the target of an attack and your golem is within 5 feet of you, it can use its reaction to cause the attack to be made with disadvantage and the golem can make a melee attack against the attacker, if it is within range, as part of the same reaction.

#### Juggernaut
Beginning at 17th level, if your golem is reduced to 0 hit points, you can use your reaction to make a DC 10 Intelligence saving throw.

If you succeed, your golem drops to 1 hit point instead. Each time you use this feature after the first, the DC increases by 5. When you finish a short or a long rest, the DC resets to 10.

Starting at 2nd level, you are able to extract extra power from your arcane devices. When you deal damage to a creature with a cantrip using an arcane device, you can roll an additional die of damage.

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

#### Supercharge
Beginning at 6th level,When you use an arcane device to cast a spell of 5th level or lower, you can expend one use of your Overclock feature and choose one of the following options:

***Adaptive Circuits.*** You have advantage on attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws that you make as part of casting this spell.

***Chain Reaction.*** Your spell deals maximum damage.

***Dimensional Vortex.*** When casting a spell that targets an agrea, you can change the area effect of the spell to one of the following: a 30-foot radius sphere, a 60-foot cone, 30-foot cube, or a 200-foot line.

***Probability Flux.*** The first saving throw a creature makes against the spell has disadvantage.

***Recycling Capacitor.*** You regain a spell slot one level lower than used to cast this spell.

***Resonance Stabilizer.*** If the spell has a duration greater than instantaneous, it does not require concentration.

***Transposition Matrix.*** The spell can be cast at a range of up to 500 feet.

***Temporal Loop.*** If the spell has a duration greater than instantaneous, it is increased by 1 hour.

When the spell ends, roll a d6. On a result of 3 or higher, the device is disabled, but can be repaired during a long rest. On a result of 1 or 2, the device is completely destroyed and must be rebuilt (costing time and gold as normal).

#### Jury Rig
At 11th level, you can modify a device to cast spells you don’t have schematics for. You can spend 8 hours during a long rest modifying one arcane device that you have created. Choose one spell of 5th level or lower on the Artificer spell list. If that spell is of the same school, and is the same level or lower than the one the chosen device is designed for, you can cast that spell using the modified arcane device.

Afterward, the device is destroyed, and must be rebuilt (costing time and gold as normal).

#### Reliable Inventions
At 17th level, your able to maintain your devices, and make them less prone to failure. When you use your Supercharge feature, a device remains functional on a roll of 6, and is only destroyed on a roll of 1.

Additionally, after use an arcane device to cast a jury rigged spell, it can be used to cast the spell it was created for normally without destroying it.

### Master Alchemist
Alchemists are experimenters who revel in testing new and strange concoctions, and are always on the lookout for new ingredients. As a volatile profession, however, they can sometimes be a hazard to their allies as well as their foes.

##### Magitechician Features

| Artificer Level  | Feature |
|:--:|:-----------|
|  1st  | Grenadier, Improvised Explosives |
|  2nd  | Spell Elixer|
|  6th  | Admixture |
|  11th  | Mutagen |
|  17th  | Discovery |

#### Grenadier
Beginning at 1st level, an artificer can use the volatility of alchemy to create powerful explosives.

During a short rest, you can expend one or more spell slots to create several grenades. You can expend a 1st-level spell slot to create two grenades, plus one extra grenade for each spell level higher than 1st, up to a maximum of five. You must be proficient and have access to an alchemist's’ kit and spend reagents equal to 1 sp per grenade.

A grenade lasts for 8 hours, after which it becomes inert and worthless. You can throw a grenade up to 30 feet as an attack or, with your DM's discretion, you may use a grenade as ammunition as part of a ranged weapon attack.

A grenade can be made to detonate on impact, after a delay (up to 1 minute), or as part of a chain. When it detonates, each creature or object within 10 feet must make a Dexterity save against your spell save DC or take 2d8 points of either bludgeoning, slashing, or piercing damage (your choice).

You can combine two or more grenades to create a single, more powerful explosive. When you do so, increase the damage by 1d8 for each grenade added to the first, up to a maximum of 10d8. This effect also applies if multiple grenades detonate next to each other as part of a chain.

\pagebreakNum

#### Improvised Explosives
You may also reduce the power of a grenade to create an alternative effect. When you gain this feature, choose two Formula options of your choice (see "Formulas" below).

When you craft a grenade, you can reduce the damage of a grenade by 1d8. If you do, you may apply one or more of your formulas to that grenade. You can combine several formulas in a single explosive. If your grenade deals multiple damage types, you may choose how to distribute the damage.

You gain two additional formulas when you reach 6th level in this class, and two more at 11th and 17th level. Each time you learn a new formula, you can also replace one formula known with a different one.

#### Spell Elixirs
Starting at 2nd level, you learn how to use your infusion feature to create spell elixirs.  A spell elixir is an special type infusion stored in a vial, flask, or similar container, rather than an arcane device.

A spell elixer lasts for 24 hours instead of 8 hours, and does not count against the number of infusions or devices you can have active at a given time. In order to create a spell elixer you must have access to an alchemist’s kit and expend alchemical regeants equal to 1 gp per spell level for each elixir created.

Choose an artificer spell you know that targets a single creature. After casting for 1 minute, the spell is infused into the chosen container.

Afterward, any creature can take an action to use a spell elixir. The spell targets the creature using the elixir and cannot be shared or diluted. If the spell requires concentration, the user must concentrate on the spell, not the artificer who created it. The spell elixir cannot last for longer than 24 hours, regardless of the spell's normal duration. A creature cannot be under the effect of more than one elixir at a time.

#### Admixture
Starting at 6th level, you are able to create spell elixirs that combine multiple effects. When you create a spell elixir, you may choose two different Artificer spells you know of 5th level or lower and infuse both into a single elixir. To create an admixture, you must expend a spell slot that equals the combined level of each spell you want to cast. If the spells have different durations, you use the lowest one.

For example, if you wish to create a spell Admixture of *Expeditious Retreat*, a 1st-level spell and *Invisibility*, a 2nd-level spell, you must expend a 3rd-level spell slot to create that elixir that lasts for 1 minute.

\columnbreak

#### Mutagen
At 11th level, a creature cannot lose concentration on a effect gained through a spell elixir as a result of taking damage.

#### Discovery
At 17th level, you have discovered major insights into the art of alchemy. Choose up to four spells that target a single creature from any class spell list, one from each of the following levels: 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th.

You may create spell elixirs using the chosen spells, as long as you expend the appropriate spell slot, and have enough reagents equal to the cost of the spell’s level.

#### Formulas
The formulas are presented in alphabetical order.

***Adhesive.*** The grenade creates an area of difficult terrain for 1 minute. The first time a creature enters the area, or starts its turn in the area it must succeed on a Strength saving throw or have its speed reduced to 0 until the start of their next turn.

***Arcane.*** The grenade deals force damage.

***Blasting Agent.*** The grenade's radius is increased by 10 ft.

***Concussion.*** The grenade deals thunder damage, and the target must also succeed on a Constitution saving throw or become deafened and unable to take reactions until the start of your next turn.

***Corrosive.*** The grenade deals acid damage, and creates an area of corrosive mist that lasts for 1 minute or until a strong wind disperses it. Any creature that enters the area or starts their turn in the mist there takes 1d6 acid damage.

***Flash.*** The target must also make a Constitution saving throw or become blinded until the start of your next turn.

***Freezing.*** The grenade deals cold damage and creates an area of difficult terrain that lasts for 1 minute. The first time a creature enters the area, or starts its turn in the area, it must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw, or fall prone.

***High Explosive.*** Each creature that fails their initial saving throw is pushed 10 feet away and is knocked prone.

***Incendiary.*** The grenade deals fire damage and creatures that succeed on their initial saving throw take still take half damage, but suffer no other effects.

***Sapper.*** The grenade deals three times as much damage to unattended objects and structures.

***Smoke.*** The grenade creates an area of thick smoke that lasts for 1 minute or until a strong wind disperses it. The area is considered heavily obscured.

***Toxic.*** The grenade deals poison damage and the target must also succeed on a Constitution saving throw or become poisoned until the start of your next turn.
