Portable Workshop

Part of the reason that you have become an artificer is because you are a prodigy with craft. At 1st level, it takes you half of the normal time to craft a nonmagical item.

In addition, you are able to tinker with your latest work during brief moments. At the end of a long rest, if you made no progress toward crafting an item during the previous day, you make up to 10 gp worth of progress towards an item.

At 5th level, you can craft magic items with this feature.

Spellcasting

You have studied the workings of magic, how to channel it through objects, and how to awaken it within them. As a result, you have gained a limited ability to cast spells. To observers, you don't appear to be casting spells in a conventional way; you look as if you're producing wonders through various items.

Magical Analysis

Starting at 1st level, you know the artificer spells detect magic and identify, but you can only cast them as rituals.

When casting either ritual, you must use a spellcasting focus, or a set of tools with which you have proficiency. If you use a tool, it must have some relation to the magic you are trying to detect or identify, like using alchemist's supplies to identify a potion.

In addition, when you perform an identify ritual with a magic item equal to or less than your level of crafting, you may also attempt to learn the formula included in the making of the item. Upon finishing the identify ritual, make an Intelligence (Arcana) check; the DC is 15 for a common magical item, and increases by 2 for every increase in rarity. Identifying an Infusion from Replicate Magic Item adds that infusion to your "list" of available infusions.

On a success, you learn the formula (including components and spells) required for crafting that sort of item. If the check fails, you may perform the ritual again and make another Intelligence (Arcana) check after a long rest.

Infusions

At 2nd level, you gain the ability to imbue mundane items with magical infusions. The magic items you create with this feature are effectively prototypes of permanent items.

Artificer Specialist

At 3rd level, you choose a specialty on which you intend to focus your magical craft: Alchemist, Wandcarver, or Mechanic, all of which are detailed at the end of the class description. Your choice grants you features at 3rd level and again at 6th and 14th level.

Tool Expertise

Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses your proficiency with a tool. If you make an ability check with a tool or device with which you are not proficient, you may add half your proficiency bonus, rounded down, to the roll.

Additionally, when you make a check with any tool, you may use your Intelligence modifier in place of another ability.

Abiliy Score Improvement

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

Arcane Armament

Starting at 5th level, you can attack twice, rather than once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn. One of the attacks must be made with a magic weapon, the magic of which propels your attack and allows you to ignore the loading property of a weapon used as a part of the attack.

Alternatively, when you use your action to cast a cantrip, you can make a weapon attack as a bonus action.

Superior Attunement

Over time, your understanding of magical objects has expanded and increased. At 7th level, you can attune to up to four magic items, instead of three.

At 15th level, you can attune to up to five magic items, and you ignore any class restriction that a magic item has for you to attune to it.

The Right Cantrip for the Job

At 10th level, you gain the ability to make sure you have the right magical tool for a job. As an action, you can replace one of the artificer cantrips you know with another cantrip from the artificer spell list. You may do this once per short or long rest.

Catalyst Casting
(formerly Spell-Storing Item)

When you reach 18th level, you learn how to store a spell in an object for repeated use. Whenever you finish a long rest, you can touch one simple or martial weapon or an item that you can use as a spellcasting focus and store a spell in it, choosing one 1st- or 2nd-level spell from the artificer spell list that requires 1 action to cast (you don't need to have the spell prepared). With the object in hand, a creature can take an action to produce the spell’s effect from it, using your spellcasting ability modifier.

The spell stays in the object until it has been used a number of times equal to twice your Intelligence modifier (minimum of twice) or until you use this feature again.

Soul of Artifice

At 20th level, your understanding of magical items is unmatched, allowing you to mingle your soul with items linked to you. You gain a +1 bonus to all saving throws for every magical item to which you are currently attuned.

Artificer Specialists

Artificers pursue a variety of disciplines. Here are three options you can choose from at 3rd level: the Alchemist, the Wandcarver, and the Machinist.

Arcane Jolt

At 6th level, you learn new ways to channel arcane energy through your weapon attacks and your arcane defender. First, your arcane defender’s bite attack is now considered magical for the purposes of bypassing resistances and immunities, thanks to enhancements you’ve made to the creature in your free time. Second, when you or your arcane defender hits a target with a magic weapon attack, you can channel magical energy through the strike to create one of the following effects:

• The target takes an extra 2d4 force damage.
• Choose one creature or object you can see within 30 feet of the target. Healing energy flows into the chosen recipient, restoring 2d4 hit points to it.

Arcane Marvel

Starting at 6th level, when you build an arcane defender, it can take the form of any Large or smaller beast or humanoid with a challenge rating that is equal to or less than your artificer level divided by 4 (rounded down) .

For every challenge rating above 1/2, you must use materials for which the cost equals 50 gp multiplied by the challenge rating (minimum of 50 gp), and you must expend a spell slot of at least the same level as that challenge rating (minimum of 1st level) .

In addition, the iron defender gains an Intelligence score of 6 if it is not already 6 or higher, and it can speak, read, and write one language that you know.

Your DM has the statistics for the kinds of creatures you can build with this feature.

Additionally, when your marvel delivers a spell that you cast, you gain a bonus to one roll of the spell. The bonus equals your Intelligence modifier (minimum of +1).

Artificer Infusions

Artificers have invented numerous magical infusions that rapidly create magic items. To the untrained, artificers seem like wonderworkers, accomplishing in hours what others needs weeks, months, or years to complete.

The description of each infusion tells you the type of item that can receive it. The description also tells you if the resulting magic item requires attunement.

Some infusions specify a minimum artificer level. You can't learn such an infusion until you are at least that level.

Unless an infusion's description says otherwise, you can't learn any infusion more than once.
