# Artificer Specialisation:

## The Biomancer
"*It was horrifying. The entire lab was cluttered with—well, just parts. Parts of beasts, parts of monsters, parts of people. There were drawings detailing the various appendages they intended to graft onto themselves or others. It’s truly chilling to witness such a grotesque display of genius.*"

--An officer describing the lab of a convicted scientist.

In the vast expanse of existence, the origins of life remain a puzzle that confounds many. While most attribute life’s creation to the whims of gods or the march of evolution, you approach it differently. You have delved into the secrets of organic forms, embracing a more practical view: intelligent design. To you, the mortal coil is a true work of art. However, you do have some suggestions about its form and function.

### Class Features

| Level | Feature |
|:----:|:-------------|
| 3rd  | Mend life, Biomancer spells, Sculpt the Flesh|
| 5th  | Rework the Body |
| 9th  | Improved Augmentation |
| 15th | Reforge the Soul |

#### Mend Life

Starting at 3rd level, you can gain the ability to repair all things within your pervue. You gain proficiency with the Medicine skill and leatherworkers tools. You can also use Intelligence as a basis for your Medicine checks and your leatherworkers tools count as a healers kit for you, which you can use once as such and must then finish a long rest.

Additionally, you learn the "Mending" cantrip and its casting time becomes a bonus action for you. When cast in this way, you can target a creature that has taken damage since the end of your last turn. If the creature is organic, it will restore a number of hitpoints equal to your Intelligence modifier.

\columnbreak

#### Biomancer spells

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

### Biomancer spells
| Artificer level | Spells |
|:----:|:-------------|
| 3rd  | Cure wounds, Inflict wounds|
| 5th  | Enhance ability, Darkvision |
| 9th  | Haste, Vampiric touch |
| 13th | Guardian of Nature, Polymorph |
| 17th | Mass cure wounds, Awaken |

#### Sculpt the Flesh
Starting at 3rd level, you gain the ability to profoundly manipulate living bodies, allowing you to enhance your own form according to your vision. You learn a number of Augmentations from the Biomancer Augmentation table equal to your Intelligence modifier, provided you meet their level requirements. Each time you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of your chosen Augmentations with a different one.

Using your leatherworking tools as a focus, you can spend 1 action to apply one of these Augmentations to yourself. Each Augmentation lasts for 1 hour, until you dismiss it, or until you apply a new Augmentation while the previous one is still active. You can use this feature a number of times equal to 1 + your Proficiency Bonus, regaining all expended uses after finishing a long rest.

\pagebreakNum

#### Rework the Body
Starting at 5th level, your expertise in sculpting and modifying living creatures extends to others. You can now apply Augmentations to other living beings as detailed in the Sculpt the Flesh feature. Additionally, you can expend a spell slot of 2nd level or higher to regain one use of Sculpt the Flesh.

Furthermore, your own body has adapted to your augmentations. When you apply an Augmentation to yourself for the first time after a long rest, it no longer consumes a use of Sculpt the Flesh and lasts until you complete your next long rest. At the end of that rest, you may choose to renew the Augmentation or apply a different one without expending a use of Sculpt the Flesh. However, you can still apply only one Augmentation to yourself at a time; switching to a different one before finishing a long rest will require a use of Sculpt the Flesh as usual.

#### Improved Augmentation
Starting at 9th level, you enhance your ability to modify living creatures. You gain access to additional Augmentations, equal to your proficiency bonus, which you can choose from the Augmentation table. You now know a number of Augmentations equal to your Intelligence modifier plus your proficiency bonus.

Moreover, your body and mind have adapted to frequent alterations, allowing you to sustain multiple Augmentations simultaneously. You can maintain up to 2 Augmentations on yourself at once, with each lasting until you complete your next long rest. These Augmentations do not count against the total uses of Sculpt the Flesh unless reapplied before the end of a long rest.

#### Reforge the Soul
Beginning at 15th level, you gain the ability to reshape the very soul of a living being. You learn the Greater Restoration spell and can cast it once per long rest without expending a spell slot, or material components.

Additionally, you learn the Reincarnate spell and can cast it once per long rest without expending a spell slot. If more than 80% of the original body is still available (DM's discretion), the spell does not require material components. When you cast this spell using this feature, you can choose the race of the target creature, as long as its different from the one it used to be.

##### **Optional Augmentations:**
This class features a number of physical and mental Augmentations in the Biomancer Augmentation table at the end of the homebrew. I am but a mere mortal and cannot have imagined or thought of every possible Augmentation... Talk with your DM about specific adaptions you think are missing!
