Tool Proficiency

When you adopt this specialization at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with tinker’s tools and electrician’s tools, a new type of tool used for creating electrical circuits and contraptions. Electrician’s tools may be created by anyone skilled in their use for 10GP worth of materials using a forge and tinker’s or smith’s tools. Electrician’s tools consist of a pair of pliers, a screwdriver, a pair of pliers, a pair of wire cutters, a wrench, and several hand-made gadgets for inducing and measuring electrical charges. If you already have either of these proficiencies, you gain proficiency with one other type of artisan's tools of your choice.

Electrician Spells

Starting at 3rd level, you always have certain spells prepared after you reach particular levels in this class, as shown in the Electrician Spells table. These spells count as artificer spells for you, but they don't count against the number of artificer spells you prepare.

Electrified Gauntlet

Beginning at 3rd level, your metallurgical pursuits have led to you making a gauntlet which acts as a converter between your magic and the strange new invention of electricity. After a long rest, you can repair or replace your Electrified Gauntlet, provided you have electrician's tools and 100GP worth of materials. The electrified gauntlet is custom-fitted to you, and without regular maintenance stops functioning after 1d4 days. When equipped, the Electrified Gauntlet provides the following benefits:

• Charge Points. Embedded within this gauntlet is a small crystal, imbued with arcane magic to allow efficient storage of electricity. You gain an amount of charge points equal to half your Artificer level (rounded down) plus your intelligence modifier. You can never have more charge points than this number. You regain all spent charge points when you finish a long rest, and when casting an Artificer spell of first level or higher, you regain one charge point. Spells cast using the ritual casting feature do not restore charge points.

• Arcane Affinity. Due to the magically enhanced materials used in its creation, you can use the electrified gauntlet as a spellcasting focus for your artificer spells. If you select the Enhanced Arcane Focus, Armor of Magical Strength, Enhanced Defense, Enhanced Weapon, Mind Sharpener, Radiant Weapon, Spell-Refueling Ring or Repulsion Shield infusions, you may apply it to your gauntlet instead of the usual required item(s). No more than two infusions may be applied to the gauntlet in this way.

• Capacitor. By magically exciting the crystal embedded in your gauntlet, you can discharge a precise amount of electricity up to 250 Joules per second. By expending a charge point, you gain access to 25,000,000 Joules which can be expended over a period of time. This can be useful in the following ways:

• • Small Device Activation. As an action, you can apply a small amount of current to a circuit - enough to light any bulb, run a motor capable of lifting 20KG or activate a heating element enough to warm a room or cook a meal.
• • Electrolysis. Using two carbon rods made from at least 1SP of materials, you can cause certain materials to separate, gathering around the carbon rods. You can process around 1KG of materials this way over the course of an hour by expending a charge point.
• • Arc Melting You can heat a pound of metal until it is warm to the touch over the course of a minute. By spending one charge point you can continue heating the metal, until after ten minutes it entirely melts.

• Thunderous Arsenal. The electrified gauntlet counts as a simple melee weapon while you aren't holding anything in it, and it deals 1d8 thunder damage on a hit. By expending one charge point, you may instead treat it like one of the following weapons instead for an amount of rounds equal to half your artificer level, rounded down.

• • Arc Thrower. Your gauntlet becomes a simple ranged weapon, with a normal range of 90 feet and a long range of 300 feet, and it deals 2d6 lightning damage on a hit.
• • Railgun. Your gauntlet becomes a simple ranged weapon, with a normal range of 180 feet and a long range of 600 feet, and it deals 1d10 bludgeoning damage on a hit. Upon firing this weapon an array of electromagnets align, launching a heavy metal slug made from at least 1SP of materials. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with it, that creature is pushed back by 10 feet.

• Calculated Attack. When making an attack with the electrified gauntlet, you may add your intelligence modifier on attack and damage rolls instead of your dexterity or strength modifier. Saving throws for effects created by the weapon use your Artificer spell save DC.
