Subclass Options

Sharpshooter

Focused on speed, mobility, and accuracy, this subclass of the artillerist is a hard one to catch.   Unarmored Defense Those with this subclass enjoy 10+Dex as their armor class along with a +10ft of movement speed when not wearing any sort of armor.   Focused Shot When a sharpshooter makes a long-range weapon attack at the end of a turn without taking any other actions, bonus actions, reactions, or movement that round they may add +5 to their attack roll.   Cunning Action You can take a bonus action on each of your turns in combat. This action can be used only to take the Dash, Disengage, or Hide action.

Tank

In the center of combat, this subclass acts as the roots for whatever group they're in.   Armored Heart This subclass can take a short rest to attune to any piece of armor, magical or otherwise to add their proficiency bonus to the AC.   Big Shot A shot from a tank packs a different kind of punch. A Tank doesn't typically try to make direct hits against their targets but rather relies on the area of effect damage it causes. Though when a 19 or 20 is rolled for an attack a Tank can choose to hit the target directly, forcing them to make a strength or dexterity save or be pushed prone, should they successfully save they are pushed back 5ft away from the tank.   Planted A Tank cannot be pushed back, grappled, or knocked prone by a creature of the same size or smaller.
