items offered by your background, you start with 5d4 x
10 gp to buy your equipment.
spellcasting:
You have studied the workings of magic and how to
channel it through objects. As a result, you have gained
the ability to cast spells. To observers, you don't appear
to be casting spells in a conventional way; you look as if
you're producing wonders using mundane items or outlandish inventions.
TOOLS REQUIRED
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.
See chapter 5, "Equipment," in the Player's Handbook
for descriptions of these tools.
Spell Save DC: 8 + Your intelligence modifier + Your proficiency Modifier
Spell Attack Bonus: Your intelligence modifier + Your proficiency Modifier
class features:
At 1st level, you learn how to invest a spark of magic
into mundane objects. To use this ability, you must have
tinker's tools or other 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.
At 2nd level, you gain the ability to imbue mundane
items with certain magical infusions. The magic items
you create with this feature are effectively prototypes of
permanent items.
INFUSIONS KNOWN
When you gain this feature, pick four artificer infusions
to learn, choosing from the "Artificer Infusions" section
at the end of the class's description. You learn additional
infusions of your choice when you reach certain levels in
this class, as shown in the Infusions Known column of
the Artificer table.
Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of the artificer infusions you learned with
a new one.
INFUSING AN ITEM
Whenever you finish a long rest, you can touch a nonmagical object and imbue it with one of your artificer infusions, turning it into a magic item. An infusion works
on only certain kinds of objects, as specified in the infusion's description. If the item requires attunement, you
can attune yourself to it the instant you infuse the item.
If you decide to attune to the item later, you must do so
using the normal process for attunement (see "Attunement" in chapter 7 of the Dungeon Master's Guide).
Your infusion remains in an item indefinitely, but
when you die, the infusion vanishes after a number of
days have passed equal to your Intelligence modifier
(minimum of 1 day). The infusion also vanishes if you
give up your knowledge of the infusion for another one.
You can infuse more than one nonmagical object at
the end of a long rest; the maximum number of objects
appears in the Infused Items column of the Artificer table. You must touch each of the objects, and each of your
infusions can be in only one object at a time. Moreover,
no object can bear more than one of your infusions at a
time. If you try to exceed your maximum number of infusions, the oldest infusion immediately ends, and then
the new infusion applies.
At 3rd level, you choose the type of specialist you are:
Alchemist, Artillerist, or Battle Smith, each of which is
detailed at the end of the class's description. Your choice
grants you features at 5th level and again at 9th and
15th level.
Also at 3rd level, you learn how to produce exactly the tool
you need: with tinker'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.
When you reach 4th, 8th, 1 2th, 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.
Starting at 6th level, your proficiency bonus is doubled
for any ability check you make that uses your proficiency
with a tool.
Starting at 7th level, you gain 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.
When you reach 10th level, you achieve 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 it costs you half as much of the usual gold.
At 11th level, you learn how to 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 twice
your Intelligence modifier (minimum of twice) or until
you use this feature again to store a spell in an object.
At 14th level, your skill with magic items deepens more:
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.
Starting at 18th level, you can attune to up to six magic
items at once.
At 20th level, you develop 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 infusions, causing you to drop to 1 hit point
instead of 0.
ARTIFICER INFUSIONS
Artificers have invented numerous magical infusions,
extraordinary processes that rapidly create magic items.
To many, artificers seem like wonderworkers, accomplishing in hours what others need weeks to complete.
The description of each of the following infusions
details the type of item that can receive it, along with
whether the resulting magic item requires attunement.
Some infusions specify a minimum artificer level.
You can't learn such an infusion until you are at least
that level.
Unless an infusion's description says otherwise, you
can't learn an infusion more than once.
BOOTS OF THE WINDING PATH
Prerequisite: 6th-level artificer
Item: A pair of boots (requires attunement)
While wearing these boots, a creature can teleport up
to 15 feet as a bonus action to an unoccupied space the
creature can see. The creature must have occupied that
space at some point during the current turn.
ENHANCED ARCANE Focus
Item: A rod, staff, or wand (requires attunement)
While holding this item, a creature gains a + 1 bonus to
spell attack rolls. In addition, the creature ignores half
cover when making a spell attack.
The bonus increases to +2 when you reach 10th level
in this class.
ENHANCED DEFENSE
Item: A suit of armor or a shield
A creature gains a + 1 bonus to Armor Class while wearing (armor) or wielding (shield) the infused item.
The bonus increases to +2 when you reach 10th level
in this class.
ENHANCED WEAPON
Item: A simple or martial weapon
This magic weapon grants a + 1 bonus to attack and
damage rolls made with it.
The bonus increases to +2 when you reach 10th level
in this class.
HOMUNCULUS SERVANT
Prerequisite: 6th-level artificer
Item: A gem worth at least 100 gp or a dragonshard
You learn intricate methods for magically creating a
special homunculus that serves you. The item you infuse
serves as the creature's heart, around which the creature's body instantly forms.
You determine the homunculus's appearance. Some
artificers prefer mechanical-looking birds, whereas
some like winged vials or miniature, animate cauldrons.
The homunculus is friendly to you and your companions, and it obeys your commands. See this creature's
game statistics in the Homunculus Servant stat block.
In combat, the homunculus 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
the action in its stat block or the Dash, Disengage, Help,
Hide, or Search action.
The homunculus regains 2d6 hit points if the mending
spell is cast on it. If it dies, it vanishes, leaving its heart
in its space.
RADIANT WEAPON
Prerequisite: 6th-level artificer
Item: A simple or martial weapon (requires attunement)
This magic weapon grants a + 1 bonus to attack and
damage rolls made with it. While holding it, the wielder
can take a bonus action to cause it to shed bright light in a 30-foot radius and dim light for an additional 30 feet.
The wielder can extinguish the light as a bonus action.
The weapon has 4 charges. As a reaction immediately
after being hit by an attack, the wielder can expend 1
charge and cause the attacker to be blinded until the
end of the attacker's next turn, unless the attacker succeeds on a Constitution saving throw against your spell
save DC. The weapon regains ld4 expended charges
daily at dawn.
REPEATING SHOT
Item: A simple or martial weapon with the ammunition
property (requires attunement)
This magic weapon grants a + 1 bonus to attack and
damage rolls made with it when it's used to make a
ranged attack, and it ignores the loading property if
it has it.
If you load no ammunition in the weapon, it produces
its own, automatically creating one piece of magic ammunition when you make a ranged attack with it. The
ammunition created by the weapon vanishes the instant
after it hits or misses a target.
REPULSION SHIELD
Prerequisite: 6th-level artificer
Item: A shield (requires attunement)
A creature gains a + 1 bonus to Armor Class while wielding this shield.
The shield has 4 charges. While holding it, the wielder
can use a reaction immediately after being hit by a melee attack to expend 1 of the shield's charges and push
the attacker up to 15 feet away. The shield regains ld4
expended charges daily at dawn.
RESISTANT ARMOR
Prerequisite: 6th-level artificer
Item: A suit of armor (requires attunement)
While wearing this armor, a creature has resistance to
one of the following damage types, which you choose
when you infuse the item: acid, cold, fire, force, lightning, necrotic, poison, psychic, radiant, or thunder.
RETURNING WEAPON
Item: A simple or martial weapon with the thrown
property
This magic weapon grants a + 1 bonus to attack
and damage rolls made with it, and it returns to the
wielder's hand immediately after it is used to make a
ranged attack.
REPLICATE MAGIC ITEM
Using this infusion, you replicate a particular magic
item. You can learn this infusion multiple times; each
time you do so, choose a magic item that you can make
with it, picking from the Replicable Items tables below.
A table's title tells you the level you must be in the class
to choose an item from the table.
In the tables, an item's entry tells you whether the item
requires attunement. See the item's description in the
Dungeon Master's Guide for more information about it,
including the type of object required for its making.
If you have Xanathar's Guide to Everything, you can
choose from among the common magic items in that
book when you pick a magic item you can replicate with
this infusion.

ARTIFICER SPECIALISTS
Artificers pursue many disciplines. Here are specialist
options you can choose from at 3rd level.
ALCHEMIST
An Alchemist is an expert at combining reagents to produce mystical effects. Alchemists use their creations to
give life and to leech it away. Alchemy is the oldest of artificer traditions, and its versatility has long been valued
during times of war and peace.
TOOL PROFICIENCY
When you adopt this specialization at 3rd level, you gain
proficiency with alchemist's supplies. If you already have
this proficiency, you gain proficiency with one other type
of artisan's tools of your choice.
ALCHEMIST SPELLS
Starting at 3rd level, you always have certain spells prepared after you reach particular levels in this class, as
shown in the Alchemist Spells table. These spells count
as artificer spells for you, but they don't count against
the number of artificer spells you prepare.
ALCHEMIST SPELLS
Artificer Level Spell
3rd healing word, ray of sickness
5th flaming sphere, Me/f's acid arrow
9th gaseous form, mass healing word
13th blight, death ward
17th cloudkill, raise dead
EXPERIMENTAL ELIXIR
Beginning at 3rd level, whenever you finish a long rest,
you can magically produce an experimental elixir in an
empty flask you touch. Roll on the Experimental Elixir
table for the elixir's effect, which is triggered when
someone drinks the elixir. As an action, a creature
can drink the elixir or administer it to an incapacitated creature.
Creating an experimental elixir requires you to have
alchemist supplies on your person, and any elixir you
create with this feature lasts until it is drunk or until the
end of your next long rest.
When you reach certain levels in this class, you can
make more elixirs at the end of a long rest: two at 6th
level and three at 15th level. Roll for each elixir's effect
separately. Each elixir requires its own flask.
You can create additional experimental elixirs by expending a spell slot of 1st level or higher for each one.
When you do so, you use your action to create the elixir
in an empty flask you touch, and you choose the elixir's
effect from the Experimental Elixir table.
EXPERIMENTAL ELIXIR
d6 Effect
1 Healing. The drinker regains a number of hit points
equal to 2d4 + you r I ntell igence modifier,
2 Swiftness. The drinker's walking speed increases by 10
feet for l hour,
3 Resilience. The drinker gains a +l bonus to AC for 10
minutes,
4 Boldness. The drinker can roll a d4 and add the number rolled to every attack roll and saving throw they
make for the next minute,
5 Flight. The drinker gains a flying speed of 10 feet for 10
minutes,
6 Transformation. The drinker's body is transformed as if
by the alter self spell. The drinker determines the transformation caused by the spell, the effects of which last
for 10 minutes.
ALCHEMICAL SAVANT
At 5th level, you develop masterful command of magical
chemicals, enhancing the healing and damage you create through them. Whenever you cast a spell using your
alchemist's supplies as the spellcasting focus, you gain
a bonus to one roll of the spell. That roll must restore hit
points or be a damage roll that deals acid, fire, necrotic,
or poison damage, and the bonus equals your Intelligence modifier (minimum of +1).
RESTORATIVE REAGENTS
Starting at 9th level, you can incorporate restorative reagents into some of your works:
• Whenever a creature drinks an experimental elixir
you created, the creature gains temporary hit points
equal to 2d6 + your Intelligence modifier (minimum of
1 temporary hit point).
• You can cast lesser restoration without expending a
spell slot and without preparing the spell, provided
you use alchemist's supplies as the spellcasting focus.
You can do so a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all
expended uses when you finish a long rest.
CHEMICAL MASTERY
By 15th level, you have been exposed to so many chemicals that they pose little risk to you, and you can use
them to quickly end certain ailments:
• You gain resistance to acid damage and poison damage, and you are immune to the poisoned condition.
• You can cast greater restoration and heal without expending a spell slot, without preparing the spell, and
without material components, provided you use alchemist's supplies as the spellcasting focus. Once you
cast either spell with this feature, you can't cast that
spell with it again until you finish a long rest.
ARTILLERIST
An Artillerist specializes in using magic to hurl energy,
projectiles, and explosions on a battlefield. This destructive power was valued by all the armies of the Last War.
Now that the war is over, some members of this specialization have sought to build a more peaceful world
by using their powers to fight the resurgence of strife in
Khorvaire. The gnome artificer Vi, an unlikely yet key
member of House Cannith's warforged project, has been
especially vocal about making things right: "It's about
time we fixed things instead of blowing them all to hell."
TOOL PROFICIENCY
When you adopt this specialization at 3rd level, you gain
proficiency with woodcarver's tools. If you already have
this proficiency, you gain proficiency with one other type
of artisan's tools of your choice.
ARTILLERIST SPELLS
Starting at 3rd level, you always have certain spells prepared after you reach particular levels in this class, as
shown in the Artillerist Spells table. These spells count
as artificer spells for you, but they don't count against
the number of artificer spells you prepare.
ARTILLERIST SPELLS
3rd shield, thunderwave,
5th scorching ray, shatter,
9th fireball, wind wall,
13th ice storm, wall of fire,
17th cone of cold, wall of force,
ELDRITCH CANNON
At 3rd level, you learn how to create a magical cannon.
Using woodcarver's tools or smith's tools, you can take
an action to magically create a Small or Tiny eldritch
cannon in an unoccupied space on a horizontal surface
within 5 feet of you. A Small eldritch cannon occupies
its space, and a Tiny one can be held in one hand.
Once you create a cannon, you can't do so again until
you finish a long rest or until you expend a spell slot of
1st level or higher. You can have only one cannon at a
time and can't create one while your cannon is present.
The cannon is a magical object. Regardless of size,
the cannon has an AC of 18 and a number of hit points
equal to five times your artificer level. It is immune to
poison damage, psychic damage, and all conditions. 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 or after 1 hour. You can dismiss
it early as an action.
When you create the cannon, you determine its appearance and whether it has legs. You also decide which
type it is, choosing from the options on the Eldritch Cannons table. On each of your turns, you can take a bonus
action to cause the cannon to activate if you are within
60 feet of it. As part of the same bonus action, you can
direct the cannon to walk or climb up to 15 feet to an
unoccupied space, provided it has legs.
ELDRITCH CANNONS
Cannon Activation
Flamethrower The can non 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 Ballista
Make a ranged spell attack, originating
from the cannon, at one creature or object
within 1 20 feet of it. On a h it, the target
takes 2d8 force damage, and if the target
is a creature, it is pushed up to 5 feet away
from the cannon.
Protector
Make a ranged spell attack, originating
from the cannon, at one creature or object
within 1 20 feet of it. On a h it, the target
takes 2d8 force damage, and if the target
is a creature, it is pushed up to 5 feet away
from the cannon.
The cannon emits a burst of positive energy that grants itself and each creature of
your choice with in 10 feet of it a n umber of
temporary hit points equal to 1d8 + your
Intelligence modifier.
ARCANE FIREARM
At 5th level, you know how to turn a wand, staff, or rod
into an arcane firearm, a conduit for your destructive
spells. When you finish a long rest, you can use woodcarver's tools to carve special sigils into a wand, staff,
or rod and thereby turn it into your arcane firearm. The
sigils disappear from the object if you later carve them
on a different item. The sigils otherwise last indefinitely.
You can use your arcane firearm as a spellcasting
focus for your artificer spells. When you cast an artificer
spell through the firearm, roll a d8, and you gain a bonus to one of the spell's damage rolls equal to the number rolled.
EXPLOSIVE CANNON
Starting at 9th level, every eldritch cannon you create is
more destructive:
• The cannon's damage rolls all increase by ld8.
• As an action, you can command the cannon to detonate if you are within 60 feet of it. Doing so destroys
the cannon 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.
FORTIFIED POSITION
Starting at 1 5th level, you're a master at forming
well-defended emplacements using Eldritch Cannon:
• You and your allies have half cover while within 10
feet of a cannon you create with Eldritch Cannon, as a
result of a shimmering field of magical protection that
the cannon emits.
• You can now have two cannons at the same time. You
can create two with the same action (but not the same
spell slot), and you can activate both of them with the
same bonus action. You determine whether the cannons are identical to each other or different. You can't
create a third cannon while you have two.
BATTLE SMITH
Armies require protection, and someone has to put
things back together if defenses fail. A combination
of protector and medic, a Battle Smith is an expert at
defending others and repairing both material and personnel. To aid in their work, Battle Smiths are usually
accompanied by a steel defender, a protective companion of their own creation. Many soldiers tell stories of
nearly dying before being saved by a Battle Smith and a
steel defender.
Battle Smiths played a key role in House Cannith's
work on battle constructs and the original warforged,
and after the Last War, these artificers led efforts to aid
those who were injured in the war's horrific battles.
TOOL PROFICIENCY
When you adopt this specialization at 3rd level, you gain
proficiency with smith's tools. If you already have this
proficiency, you gain proficiency with one other type of
artisan's tools of your choice.
BATTLE SMITH SPELLS
Starting at 3rd level, you always have certain spells
prepared after you reach particular levels in this class,
as shown in the Battle Smith Spells table. These spells
count as artificer spells for you, but they don't count
against the number of artificer spells you prepare.
BATTLE SMITH SPELLS
Artificer Level Spell,
3rd heroism, shield,
5th branding smite, warding bond,
9th aura of vitality, conjure barrage,
13th aura of purity, fire shield,
17th banishing smite, mass cure wounds
BATTLE READY
When you reach 3rd level, your combat training and
your experiments with magic have paid off in two 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.
STEEL DEFENDER
By 3rd level, your tinkering has borne you a faithful
companion, a steel defender. It is friendly to you and
your companions, and it obeys your commands. See
this creature's game statistics in the steel defender stat
block. You determine the creature's appearance and
whether it has two legs or four; your choice has no effect
on its game statistics.
In combat, the steel defender 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
one of the actions in its stat block or the Dash, Disengage, Help, Hide, or Search action.
If the mending spell is cast on it, 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 steel defender returns to life after 1
minute with all its hit points restored.
At the end of a long rest, you can create a new steel
defender if you have your smith's tools with you. If you
already have a steel defender from this feature, the first
one immediately perishes.
Steel defender
EXTRA ATTACK
Starting at 5th level, you can attack twice, rather than
once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
ARCANE JOLT
At 9th level, you learn new ways to channel arcane energy to harm or heal. When either you hit a target with a
magic weapon attack or your steel defender 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 DEFENDER
At 15th level, your Arcane jolt and steel defender become more powerful:
• The extra damage and the healing of your Arcane jolt
both increase to 4d6.
• Your steel defender gains a +2 bonus to Armor Class.
• Whenever your steel defender uses its Deflect Attack,
the attacker takes force damage equal to 1d4 + your
Intelligence modifier.
