Scrapmaster

Hunched over a pile of scrap metal and broken constructs, a soot-covered gnome squeals in delight as he raises his newfound creation to the heavens, a spring-loaded multi-dagger thinga-ma-whats-it, before quickly rolling to the side as an arrow narrowly misses him, grabbing handfuls of scrap and tinkering with them in less than a second to whack a nearby thug with scrap metal bound together by wire that looks vaguely similar to a warhammer. This is what many Scrapmasters look like, Artificers who believe that no metal, scrap, or junk should ever be put to waste, those who use their artificery to create gadgets and gizmos to knock enemies off their feet!

Volatile Ingenuity

  Starting at 3rd level whenever you hit a creature with an improvised weapon (which can include a scrap weapon), you can choose to have the weapon immediately be destroyed, deal 1d6 additional damage, and have the target suffer one of the following additional effects. If the target makes a saving throw, the DC is equal to your Spell Save DC. This damage increases to 2d6 at 5th level, 3d6 at 11th level, and 4d6 at 17th level.

• The target must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be knocked prone or be pushed 10 feet away from you. Creatures who are Huge or larger are unaffected.
• The target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or be Blinded until the start of your next turn or until the target is hit with an attack.
• The target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or be Deafened until the start of your next turn.
• The target's speed is reduced by 10 feet.
• The target's next Ability check or Attack roll made before the start of your next turn is made with disadvantage.

You can use this feature an amount of times equal to your 1 + your Proficiency bonus and you regain all expended uses at the end of a short or long rest.

Potent Improvised Weapons

  Beginning at 5th level you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn using an improvised weapon. Additionally your improvised weapons are considered magical for the purposes of overcoming resistances and immunities.

Specialized Scrapper

  Starting at 9th level, you’ve practically mastered the ability to create incredibly potent but effective volatile scrap weapons at a whim. Whenever you create a scrap weapon, you can magically enhance it, where it gains one of the following properties,

• You gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls made with this scrap weapon.
• You gain a +2 bonus to attack rolls made with this scrap weapon.
• When you hit a creature with this scrap weapon you can choose for the creature to be pulled up to 10 feet closer to you.
• When you roll damage with this scrap weapon you can roll the damage dice twice and take the higher result.
• While holding this scrap weapon you gain a +1 bonus to your AC.

Improved Designs

  Starting at 9th level your ingenious on-the-go properties have been further improved. The properties chosen from your Scrap Fighter feature improve in the following ways,

• Hefty. The damage die becomes a d10 as opposed to a d8.
• Extended. You can make attacks of opportunity as if your reach was 5 feet longer, and as a reaction, you can make a melee weapon attack with this scrap weapon if a creature you can see enters your reach.
• Lightweight. When you create a scrap weapon with this property, you can make an exact copy of the scrap weapon with the same bonus action, provided you have two open hands or if you are using two-weapon fighting, you can make a two-weapon fighting attack with the same bonus action used to create this weapon.
• Balanced. Whenever you throw this scrap weapon, it immediately returns to your grasp after you hit or miss with it.
• Loaded. The scrap weapon’s damage die increases to a d8 and has a normal range of 120 feet and a long range of 200 feet.

Nothing Lost, Nothing Gained

  Beginning at 15th level, you’ve learned how to gain the most out of a bad situation, and how to repurpose otherwise disastrous events into favorable outcomes with your mechanical engineering. Whenever you critically strike a creature with an improvised weapon, you can choose to use your Volatile Ingenuity feature without expending a use, nor breaking the weapon. Additionally, whenever you roll a natural one on an attack roll made with an improvised weapon, you can instead turn your missed attack into an automatic hit with the scrap weapon, but you must use your Volatile Ingenuity feature.

Furthermore, whenever you cast an Artificer spell while holding a scrap weapon, you can use a portion of the arcane energy to funnel into your scrap weapon; where it is imbued with magical energy and deals an extra 1d6 acid, cold, fire, force, lightning, or thunder damage on hit. This imbuement lasts until it is imbued with a differing element or the scrap weapon is destroyed.
