The Weaponsmith

This is an NPC class. It is designed to fit a specific NPC theme and lacks subclasses or multiclassing rules in mind. Players can play this class with their DM's discretion, but they should be warned that they will most likely be outpaced by PCs that possess official classes.

Class Features

As a Weaponsmith, you gain the following class features.

Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher

You know four 1st-level spells of your choice from the weaponsmith spell list.

The Spells Known column of the Weaponsmith table shows when you learn more weaponsmith spells of your choice. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots, as shown on the table. For instance, when you reach 3rd level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level.

Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the weaponsmith spells you know and replace it with another spell from the weaponsmith spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

Spellcasting Ability

Intelligence is your spellcasting ability. Your draw your magic from your skill with the tools you forge your weapons with. 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 weaponsmith spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier

Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier

Ritual Casting

You can cast any weaponsmith spell you know as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag.

Weaponsmith's Assurance

You have several unfinished projects on yourself at any given time that with a little effort can be turned into serviceable weapons. As a bonus action, roll a d20, and compare your result to the Assurance Table. You than gain a weapon of your choice that corresponds with what you rolled.

You can use this bonus action only if you haven't moved during this turn, and after you use the bonus action, your speed is 0 until the end of the current turn.

Starting at 5th level, the weapon can be used as a spellcasting focus for your weaponsmith spells.

A weapon created with this feature ceases to function if you use this feature again, or no creature is holding the weapon at the start of your turn.

Weapon Enhancement

Starting at 2nd level, you can expend a spell slot of 1st or 2nd level as an action to temporarily enchant a weapon you are touching. This enchantment lasts for 1 minute. While enchanted, the weapon can be used as a spellcasting focus for your weaponsmith spells and gains one of the following benefits of your choice.

• The weapon gains a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls
• The weapon deals an additional 1d4 acid, cold, fire, or lightning damage.
• The weapon is silvered.

If you expend a spell slot of 3rd or 4th level, the bonus to attack and damage rolls increases to +2, the extra damage done by the weapon increases to 1d6, and the weapon is considered magical instead of silvered.

If you expend a spell slot of 5th level, the bonus to attack and damage rolls increases to +3, the extra damage done by the weapon increases to 1d8.

Ability Score Improvement

When you reach 4th level, 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.

Extra Attack

Focus
