Artificer

Cackling with glee as her eyes light up with arcane power, disgarding her now empty vial, a Breton witch unleashes a friery inferno from her fingertips with seemingly impossible intensity. Reducing the imperial squad infront of her to ashes and charred remains, before readying her next elixir.   Steam hissing and screaming from a suit of bronze-gold armour. A knight of unknown origin stands unnaturally tall, encased in an armour that seems to move mechanically. Whith guantlets that glow and crackle with energy before unleashing an arc of lightning into the mob of skulking Falmer, illuminating the ruinious halls of the once great Dwemer city.   A Bosmer male, crouches high up in the foilage of a tree, clutching tightly to thier bow, thier target, armoured and on horseback, flanked by their ranks of warriors, rides below. The Bosmer smirks at the seemingly impossible odds though, as they coat the tip of thier arrow in an ozing foul substance. One scrape is all it will take. And the contract will be his.   Masters of invention, artificers use ingenuity and magic to unlock extraordinary capabilities in objects. They see magic as a complex system waiting to be decoded and then harnessed in their spells and inventions. You can find everything you need to play one of these inventors in the next few sections. Artificers use a variety of tools to channel their arcane power. To cast a spell, an artificer might use alchemist's supplies to create a potent elixir, calligrapher's supplies to inscribe a sigil of power, or tinker's tools to craft a temporary charm. The magic of artificers is tied to their tools and their talents, and few other characters can produce the right tool for a job as well as an artificer.

spellcasting:
1st-level artificer feature You produce your artificer spell effects through your tools. You must have a spellcasting focus-specifically thieves' tools or some kind of artisan's tool-in hand when you cast any spell with this Spellcasting feature. You must be proficient with the tool to use it in this way. After you gain the Enchant Item feature at 2nd level, you can also use any item bearing one of yourArtificer Enchantments as a spellcasting focus.   Cantrips You know two cantrips of your choice from the Artificer Spell List. At higher levels, you learn additional artificer cantrips of your choice, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Artificer Table. When you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of the artificer can trips you know with another cantrip from the artificer spell list.   Preparing and Casting Spells The Artificer Table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your artificer spells. To cast one of your artificer spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest. You prepare the list of artificer spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the Artificer Spell List. When you do so, choose a number of artificer spells equal to your Intelligence modifier + half your artificer level, rounded down (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For example, if you are a 5th-level artificer, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With an Intelligence of 14, your list of prepared spells can include four spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell Close Wounds, you can cast it using a 1st-level or a 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn't remove it from your list of prepared spells. You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of artificer spells requires time spent tinkering with your spellcasting focuses: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.   Spellcasting Ability Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your artificer spells; your understanding of the theory behind magic allows you to wield these spells with superior skill. You use your Intelligence whenever an artificer spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for an artificer 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 a spell from the artificer column of the Ritual Spell List, so long as you have the spell prepared.   Learn Enchantment You can replicate a particular magic items enchantment by destroying it. Enchantments learned in this fashion will count as one of your "Enchaments Known" in the Artificer Table. You can forget the enchantment if you choose, but on doing so you must destroy another of the item to learn it again. Choose a magic item that you have from the Replicable Items tables. A table's title tells you the level you must be in the class to learn the enchantment on the item from the table, along with the level of filled soul gem you will need to replicate it. You will need its level of filled soul gem and a unenchanted base item if. You can also do so using the magic items from among the common magic items in the game, not including potions or scrolls. In the tables, an item's entry tells you whether the item requires attunement. See the item's description for more information about it, including the type of object required for its making.
class features:
Magical Tinkering
1st-level artificer feature You've learned how to invest a spark of magic into mundane objects. To use this ability, you must have thieves' tools or artisan's tools in hand. You then touch a Tiny nonmagical object as an action and give it one of the following magical properties of your choice: • The object sheds bright light in a 5-foot radius and dim light for an additional 5 feet. • Whenever tapped by a creature, the object emits a recorded message that can be heard up to 10 feet away. You utter the message when you bestow this property on the object, and the recording can be no more than 6 seconds long. • The object continuously emits your choice of an odor or a nonverbal sound (wind, waves, chirping, or the like). The chosen phenomenon is perceivable up to 10 feet away. • A static visual effect appears on one of the object's surfaces. This effect can be a picture, up to 25 words of text, lines and shapes, or a mixture of these elements, as you like. The chosen property lasts indefinitely. As an action, you can touch the object and end the property early. You can bestow magic on multiple objects, touching one object each time you use this feature, though a single object can only bear one property at a time. The maximum number of objects you can affect with this feature at one time is equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of one object). If you try to exceed your maximum, the oldest property immediately ends, and then the new property applies.   Enchant Item 2nd-level artificer feature You've gained the ability to imbue mundane items with certain magical enchantments, turning those objects into magic items.   Enchantments Known: When you gain this feature, pick four artificer enchantments to learn, choosing from the Artificer Enchantmentssection at the end of the class's description. You learn additional enchantments of your choice when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown in the Enchantments Known column of the Artificer Table. Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of the artificer enchantments you learned with a new one.   Enchanting an Item: Whenever you finish a long rest, you can touch a nonmagical object and imbue it with one of your artificer enchantments, turning it into a magic item. An enchantment works on only certain kinds of objects, as specified in the enchantment's description. If the item requires attunement, you can attune yourself to it the instant you enchant the item. If you decide to attune to the item later, you must do so using the normal process for attunement. Your enchantment remains in an item indefinitely, but when you die, the enchantment vanishes after a number of days equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1 day). The enchantment also vanishes if you replace your knowledge of the enchantment. You can enchant more than one nonmagical object at the end of a long rest; the maximum number of objects appears in the Enchanted Items column of the Artificer Table. You must touch each of the objects, and each of your enchantments can be in only one object at a time. Moreover, no object can bear more than one of your enchantments at a time. If you try to exceed your maximum number of enchantments, the oldest enchantment ends, and then the new enchantment applies. If an enchantment ends on an item that contains other things, like a bag of holding, its contents harmlessly appear in and around its space.   Artificer Specialist 3rd-level artificer feature Choose the type of specialist you are: Alchemist, Arcane Armourer, Soul Weaver, or Dwemer Smith, each of which is detailed after the class's description. Your choice grants you features at 5th level and again at 9th and 15th level.   The Right Tool for the Job 3rd-level artificer feature You've learned how to produce exactly the tool you need: with thieves' tools or artisan's tools in hand, you can magically create one set of artisan's tools in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of you. This creation requires 1 hour of uninterrupted work, which can coincide with a short or long rest. Though the product of magic, the tools are nonmagical, and they vanish when you use this feature again.  
Ability 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.   Tool Expertise 6th-level artificer feature Your proficiency bonus is now doubled for any ability check you make that uses your proficiency with a tool.   Flash of Genius 7th-level artificer feature You've gained the ability to come up with solutions under pressure. When you or another creature you can see within 30 feet of you makes an ability check or a saving throw, you can use your reaction to add your Intelligence modifier to the roll. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.   Magic Item Adept 10th-level artificer feature You've achieved a profound understanding of how to use and make magic items: • You can attune to up to four magic items at once. • If you craft a magic item with a rarity of common or uncommon, it takes you a quarter of the normal time, and using 1 tier lower than the usual soul gem level.   Spell-Storing Enchantment 11th-level artificer feature You can now store a spell in an object. Whenever you finish a long rest, you can touch one simple or martial weapon or one item that you can use as a spellcasting focus, and you store a spell in it, choosing a 1st- or 2nd-level spell from the artificer spell list that requires 1 action to cast (you needn't have it prepared). While holding the object, a creature can take an action to produce the spell's effect from it, using your spellcasting ability modifier. If the spell requires concentration, the creature must concentrate. The spell stays in the object until it's been used a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of twice) or until you use this feature again to store a spell in an object.   If a filled soul gem is used when creating this enchantment, you must use a soul gem corresponding to the spell level; common-cantrip, greater-1st, grand-2nd. By this method the object becomes permanently enchanted and can be used by creatures other than you, governed by the rules listed. However when the item has been depleted it can be recharged with another soul gem of the same type or multiple soul gems of a lower tier (costing x2 soul gems per lower tier). Recharging requires an action and can be done regardless of rest.   Magic Item Savant 14th-level artificer feature Your skill with magic items deepens: • You can attune to up to five magic items at once. • You ignore all class, race, spell, and level requirements on attuning to or using a magic item.   Magic Item Master 18th-level artificer feature You can now attune to up to six magic items at once.   Soul of Artiface 20th-level artificer feature You have developed a mystical connection to your magic items, which you can draw on for protection: • You gain a +1 bonus to all saving throws per magic item you are currently attuned to. • If you're reduced to 0 hit points but not killed outright, you can use your reaction to end one of your artificer enchantments, causing you to drop to 1 hit point instead of 0 (not including enchanments made using soul gems).

Artificer Specialist: Soul Weaver 3rd-level artificer feature An Artificer of this subclass specialises in using soul gems to create, more powerful, permenant enchantments to create magical objects of great value. Thier talents are valued on a par with the great magical schools and can often be found among in the company of colleges of magical learning. When you take this subclass the enchatments found in the "Artificer Enchantments" section at the end of the class's description can be made permanent, no longer counting against your maximum number of enchantments, if you use filled grand soul gem when you use them to Enchant an item. These enchantments will never vanish, even if you die. However it is still the case, at this level, that no object can bear more than one of your enchantments at a time.   Tool Proficiency 3rd-level Soul Weaver feature You gain proficiency with enchanter's tools. If you already have this proficiency, you gain proficiency with one other type of artisan's tools of your choice.   Soul Weaver Spells 3rd-level Soul Weaver feature You always have certain spells prepared after you reach particular levels in this class, as shown. These spells count as artificer spells for you, but they don't count against the number of artificer spells you prepare.   3rd: Lesser Ward, Thunderwave 5th: Soul Trap, Shatter 9th: Flame Arrows, Steadfast Ward 13th: Frost Arrows, Greater Soul Trap 17th: Animate Objects, Wall of Force   Grand Staff 3rd-level Soul Weaver feature You've learned how to create a grand enchanted staff of magical power, using a staff you have or one you create using woodcarver's tools or smith's tools, along with a filled grand soul gem. Once you create a grand staff, you can't do so again until you expend another grand soul gem to create one. You can have only one grand staff at a time and can't create one while your grand staff is present. The staff can be used as a spellcasting focus for your spells while it is in your hand and can also be planted into the ground, allowing you cast spells from, and to to use its special ability while being up to 60ft away from it. While planted, the grand staff has an AC of 18 and a number of hit points equal to five times your artificer level. It is immune to poison damage and psychic damage. If it is forced to make an ability check or a saving throw, treat all its ability scores as 10 (+O). If the mending spell is cast on it, it regains 2d6 hit points. It disappears if it is reduced to 0 hit points. As an action you can cause the planted staff to fly back to your hand so long as you within 60ft and there is a unobstructed route (it will avoid obstacles). If it is picked up by another creature, your grand staff remains under your control while you are within 60ft, allowing you to still use its special ability. If you will it, that creature must make a strength check against your spell save DC to pick it up. If you recall the staff while another creature has picked it up, that creature must make another strength check against your spell save DC to keep it in thier hand.  
On each of your turns, you can take a bonus action to cause grand to activate if you are within 60 feet of it. Choosing one of the following special abilites:   Flamethrower. The staff exhales fire in an adjacent 15-foot cone that you designate. Each creature in that area must make a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC, taking 2d8 fire damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one. The fire ignites any flammable objects in the area that aren't being worn or carried.   Force. Make a ranged spell attack, originating from the staff, at one creature or object within 120 feet of it. On a hit, the target takes 2d8 force damage, and if the target is a creature, it is pushed up to 5 feet away from the staff.   Protector. The staff emits a burst of positive energy that grants itself and each creature of your choice within 10 feet of it a number of temporary hit points equal to 1d8 + your Intelligence modifier (minimum of +1).   Arcane Runes 5th-level Soul Weaver feature As an action, you can use woodcarver's tools to carve special sigils into a wand, staff, or rod including your grand staff, or inscribe them onto the ground as an action. The sigils disappear from the object if you later carve them on a different item. The sigils otherwise last indefinitely. You can use any item bearing these runes as a spellcasting focus for your artificer spells, so long as it is within 60ft of you. When you cast an artificer spell through the item, roll a d8, and you gain a bonus to one of the spell's damage rolls equal to the number rolled.   Grand Weapon 9th-level Soul Weaver feature At this level instead of using a grand staff, you can enchant any melee weapon into a grand weapon, which will have the same abilites and rules as a grand staff. In addition though, the grand weapons special ability damage will increase by 1d8. Your ability to use and recall the grand weapon will also increase to 120ft in all regards and the grand weapon will be able to be thrown using an action, counting as a simple ranged weapon with a short and long range of 60/120, with a hit counting as a single melee attack with the weapon. The thrown attack is magical in nature, with the grand weapon flying towards the target, dodging any obstacles, making the ranged attack unaffected by cover. If you choose to continue using a staff as your grand weapon, it will count as a quaterstaff for this purpose. Any attacks with the grand weapon count as magical. In addition if you choose, as an action or as a reaction if the grand weapon leaves a range of 120ft from you, you can cause it to detonate. Doing so destroys the grand weapon and forces each creature within 20 feet of it to make a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC, taking 3d8 force damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one.   Soul Scribe 11th-level Soul Weaver feature In this subclass when using the Spell-Storing Enchantment feature, enchanted items made can be made and recharged using filled soul gems with now lesser-cantrip, common-1st, greater-2nd and now also grand-3rd. Additonally when using this feature, the items you can enchant are no longer limited to weapons and spellcasting focuses and if the item you are enchanting is a roll of partchment, instead of a single reusable enchanted item you create 2d4 single use scrolls of that spell.   Master Enchanter 15th-level Soul Weaver feature With this feature you can now enchant items twice rather than once, this is the case for both the "Artificer Enchantments" listed at the end of the class description and Spell-Storing enchantments. This feature also applies to your grand weapon, allowing you to enchant it 1 additonal time. This feature also applies to items permanently enchanted using soul gems. With the exception of scrolls, which are always single-use single-enchantment. To enchant an already enchanted item an additional time with a permanent soul gem enchantment, will still require another filled soul gem to create as normal. However to recharge it (if using a spell storing enchantment) will only reqiure filled soul gems corresponding to the highest spell level on that item. Additionally with this feature, for the purpose of recharging enchanted items only, you can use a single soul gem of a tier 1 lower. Greater-3rd, common-2nd, lesser-1st and petty-cantrip.
Artificer Specialist: Dwemer Smith 3rd level Artificer feature A blacksmith who delves into the lost knowledge of the once great Dwemer civilisation, a Dwemer Smith goes beyond simply creating basic weapons and armour from reclaimed Dwemer metals.

These spells count as artificer spells for you, but they don't count against the number of artificer spells you prepare.   3rd: Sparks, Grease 5th: Cloud of Daggers, Heat Metal 9th: Lightning Arrow, Conjure Barrage 13th: Fabricate, Elemental Bane 17th: Conjure Volley, Animate Objects   Battle Ready 3rd-level Dwemer Smith feature Your combat training and your experiments with magic have paid off in three ways: • You gain proficiency with martial weapons. • When you attack with a magic weapon, you can use your Intelligence modifier, instead of Strength or Dexterity modifier, for the attack and damage rolls. • You do not need to meet the strength requirement to use Dwemer armour.   Dwemer Spider 3rd-level Dwemer Smith feature Your tinkering has borne you a companion, the Dwemer Spider, it is friendly to you and your companions and it obeys your commands. See this creature's game statistics in the Dwemer Spider stat block, which uses your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places. In combat, the dwemer spider shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. If you are incapacitated, the dwemer spider can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge. The dwemer spider regains 2d6 hit points if the mending spell is cast on it. If it has died within the last hour, you can use your smith's tools as an action to revive it, provided you are within 5 feet of it and you expend a spell slot of 1st level or higher. The dwemer spider returns to life after 1 minute with all its hit points restored. At the end of a long rest, you can create a new dwemer spider if you have smith's tools with you. If you already have a dwemer spider from this feature, the first one immediately perishes. The dwemer spider also perishes if you die.

Dwemer Armourer 3rd-level Dwemer Smith feature You learn dwemer smithing, you can now craft superior weapons and armour that use dwemer ingots. You are also proficent wearing all kinds of dwemer armour. If your armour is Dwemer in origin, whether it's armour you find in your explorations or craft yourself from Dwemer scrap metals, you can modify it to include special benefits while you wear it, including special weapons. When you attack with these weapons, you can add your Intelligence modifier, instead of Strength or Dexterity, to the attack and damage rolls.   Thunder Gauntlets. Each of the armor's gauntlets counts as a simple melee weapon while you aren't holding anything in it, and it deals 1d8 thunder damage on a hit. A creature hit by the gauntlet has disadvantage on attack rolls against targets other than you until the start of your next turn, as the armor magically emits a distracting pulse when the creature attacks someone else.   Defensive Field. As a bonus action, you can gain temporary hit points equal to your level in this class, replacing any temporary hit points you already have. You lose these temporary hit points if you doff the armor. You can use this bonus action a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.   Lightning Launcher. A gemlike node appears on one of your armored fists or on the chest (your choice). Or as a seperate weapon that can be used independently of the armour. It counts as a simple ranged weapon, with a normal range of 90 feet and a long range of 300 feet, and it deals ld6 lightning damage on a hit. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with it, you can deal an extra ld6 lightning damage to that target or another target within 5 feet of them.   Powered Suit. Your walking speed increases by 5 feet, however the mechanical nature of the armour renders you incapable of Stealth while you are wearing it (if you have an enchantment that would normally impose adavantage, the incapablity becomes a disadvantage).   Extra Attack 5th-level Dwemer Smith feature You can attack twice, rather than once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.  
Dwemer Sphere 5th-level Dwemer Smith feature Instead of dwemer spider you can now construct a dwemer sphere, It's friendly to you and your companions, and it obeys your commands. See its game statistics in the Dwemer Sphere stat block, which uses your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places. In combat, the dwemer sphere shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. If you are incapacitated, the dewmer sphere can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge. If the mending spell is cast on the dwemer sphere, it regains 2d6 hit points. If it has died within the last hour, you can use your smith's tools as an action to revive it, provided you are within 5 feet of it and you expend a spell slot of 1st level or higher. The dwemer sphere returns to life after 1 minute with all its hit points restored. At the end of a long rest, you can create a new dwemer sphere if you have smith's tools with you. If you already have a centurion from this feature, the first one immediately perishes. The sphere also perishes if you die.   Arcane Jolt 9th-level Dwemer Smith feature You've learned new ways to channel arcane energy to harm or heal. When either you hit a target with your lightning launchers attack or your dwemer construct hits a target, you can channel magical energy through the strike to create one of the following effects: • The target takes an extra 2d6 force damage. • Choose one creature or object you can see within 30 feet of the target. Healing energy flows into the chosen recipient, restoring 2d6 hit points to it. You can use this energy a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of once), but you can do so no more than once on a turn. You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.   Improved Construction 15th-level Dwemer Smith feature At this level you are able to construct and sustain both the Dwemer Spider and the Dwemer Sphere simultainiously. Additionally your Dwemer Sphere and your Arcane jolt have become more powerful: • The extra damage and the healing of your Arcane Jolt both increase to 4d6. • Your dwemer sphere gains a +2 bonus to Armor Class. • Whenever your dwemer sphere uses its Deflect Attack, the attacker takes force damage equal to ld4 + your Intelligence modifier.
