Masters of Innovation

Relentless in their pursuit of innovation, artificers are defined by their insatiable curiosity and willingness to push the limits of arcane invention, even at great risk to themselves. For most artificers, they stake their personal value on the fruits of their experimentation, and they see mastering the basics of their chosen craft as the first step toward true greatness.

Deep down, the goal of every artificer is the discovery of a new groundbreaking invention, magical or otherwise. Some artificers are engineers, students of science and warfare, who bring their considerable intellect to bear to construct deadly weapons augmented with magic. Others view themselves as artists, combining the rigid formulas of arcane magic with the artisanal touch of their own specialized tools.

Fierce Rivalries

Almost every artificer has a rival, most often another artificer who they seek to outdo at every turn. These intense rivalries are the sole motivation of some artificers, and outdoing their rival is more valuable then any fame or riches they could gain from their discoveries. Many are willing to risk everything they have to achieve at a new breakthrough before their rival.

By the same token, artificers with similar philosophies and aims often band together in loose artisan's guilds. They share insights and discoveries, hoping to keep ahead of rival guilds by pooling resources and working as a team. However, even when working together, most artificers are protective of any insights they think could lead to a groundbreaking discovery.

hit dice: 1d8 per Artificer level

hit points at 1st level: 8 + your Constitution modifier

hit points at higher levels: 1d8 (or 5) + your Constitution modifier per artificer level after 1st

skills: Choose two from Arcana, Culture, Engineering, History, Insight, Investigation, Medicine, Nature, Perception, Sleight of Hand

starting equipment:
You start with the following equipment, in addition to the equipment granted by your background:

• a simple weapon and a set of artisan's tools of your choice


• (a) studded leather or (b) scale mail


• A light crossbow and 20 bolts


• Tinker's tools and a dungeoneer's pack

spellcasting:

Using your signature tools and your own special brand of arcane magic, you can produce spell effects from strange and wondrous objects. See chapter 11 of the Player's Handbook for the general rules of spellcasting and the artificer spell list included with this class for your list of spells.

Spell Slots

The Artificer table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st-level and higher. To cast a spell, you must expend a slot equal to the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

For example, if you know the 1st-level spell magic missile and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast magic missile using either spell slot.

Spells Known of 1st-Level and Higher

You know two 1st-level spells of your choice from the artificer spell list. The Spells Known column of the Artificer table shows when you learn more artificer spells of your choice. Each spell must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For example, when you reach 5th level in this class, you can learn one new artificer spell of either 1st or 2nd-level.

When you gain a level, you can choose one artificer spell you know and replace it with another spell from the artificer spell list that is of a level for which you have spell slots.

Spellcasting Ability

Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for artificer spells, as your understanding of the theory behind magic to produce spells. You use Intelligence whenever an artificer spell refers to your spellcasting ability, and 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

Spellcasting Focus

You must use either your tinker's tools, a set of artisan's tools with which you are proficient, or an item bearing one of your Infusions as spellcasting focus for your artificer spells.

While you have access to your tinker's tools or a set of artisan's tools with which you are proficient, you know the mending cantrip and the identify spell, but they don't count against your total number of Spells Known. You can cast identify normally by expending a spell slot, or as a ritual.

class features:

Artificer Specialty

At 1st level, choose your Artificer Specialties. Your Artificer Specialty grants features at 1st level, and again when you reach 3rd, 5th, 9th, and 15th level in this class.

Specialty Spells

Each Specialty has a list of spells that you gain at the artificer levels noted in its description. These count as artificer spells for you, but they don't count against your total Spells Known.

Infusions

You have learned to infuse objects with your signature brand of magic. At 1st level, you learn two Infusions of your choice from the list at the end of this class. As you gain levels in this class, you learn additional Infusions, as shown in the Infusions Known column of the Artificer table.

At the end of a long rest, if you have access to your tinker's tools, or a set of artisan's tools that you are proficient with, you can replace one of your Infusions Known with another Infusion of your choice that you meet the prerequisites for.

Infusing an Object

At the end of a long rest, you can use your tinker's tools, or a set of artisan's tools that you are proficient with, to touch a nonmagical object, imbuing it with one Infusion you know. If the Infusion requires attunement, you can attune the instant you infuse the item, or you can forgo attunement so another creature can attune to it. If you decide to attune to the item later, you must follow the normal attunement process.

The Infusion remains in an item indefinitely. If you die, the Infusion vanishes after a number of days have passed equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1 day). Infusions vanish immediately if you give up your knowledge of one to learn another, or imbue the Infusion into another object.

You can infuse more than one nonmagical object at the end of each long rest, up to one for each Infusion you know. You must touch each of the objects, and each Infusion can be in only one object at a time, but, no object can bear more than one Infusion at a time. If you transfer an Infusion to a new object, the previous instance of that Infusion immediately ends, and then the Infusion applies to the new object.

Ability Score Improvement

When you reach 4th level, 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.

Adjustable Inventions

Starting at 6th level, you can alter and adjust your Infusions in order to better meet the challenges at hand. At the end of a short rest, so long as you have access to your tinker's tools, or a set of artisan's tools with which you are proficient, you can replace one of your Infusions Known with another Infusion of your choice, immediately imbuing it into an object you touch.

If the Infusion requires attunement, it follows the normal rules for attuning to an Infused item. If the Infused item has charges, it has zero charges until you complete a long rest.

Once you use this ability you must complete a long rest before you can use it again.

Tool Expertise

There are few who can match an artificer's raw skill with their tools. Beginning at 6th level, whenever you make an ability check that uses a tool with which you are proficient, you can add double your proficiency bonus to your roll.

Flash of Genius

Beginning at 7th level, your analytical mind can offer insights and suggestions at a moment's notice. As a reaction, when you, or another creature you can see within 30 feet, makes an ability check or a saving throw, you can add your Intelligence modifier (minimum of +1) to the result of the roll.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Magic Item Master

You have gained a deep understanding of the inner workings and creation of magic items. Beginning at 10th level, you can attune to up to four magic items at once, and for you, crafting a magic item with a rarity of Common or Uncommon takes a quarter of the normal time and costs half the normal gold.

The number of magic items you can attune to at one time increases at 14th level (5 items) and 18th level (6 items).

Wondrous Item

Starting at 11th level, you master the storing of magic within the mundane. At the end of each long rest, you can touch one weapon or item and imbue it with an artificer spell of 1st or 2nd-level of your choice, that has a casting time of 1 action.

While holding the item, any creature can use an action to cast the imbued spell using your spellcasting ability modifier. If it requires concentration, they must concentrate on it.

The spell stays imbued in the object until it has been used a number of times equal to twice your Intelligence modifier (minimum of twice) or until you use this feature again.

Arcane Breakthrough

Beginning at 14th level, your expert understanding of magic items allows you to attune to any magic item regardless of any alignment, class, race, spell, or level requirements.

Soul of Artifice

You imbue a spark of your own essence in the magic items you bear. At 20th level, you gain a +1 bonus to all saving throws for each magic item you are attuned to. In addition, if you are reduced to 0 hit points but not killed out-right, you can choose to to end your attunement to one magic item or Infusion, causing you to drop to 1 hit point instead of 0.

Aeronaut

Aeronaut

The most dangerous Specialty that an artificer can pursue is that of the Aeronaut. Constantly carrying out dangerous trials and experiments, always striving for their goal of mechanical flight. Though many of their attempts end in catastrophic failure, nothing can dampen an Aeronaut's spirits while they pursue the creation of the perfect flying machine.

Tools of the Trade

When you adopt the Aeronaut Specialty at 1st level, you gain proficiency with woodcarver's tools. If you are already proficient with woodcarver's tools, you gain proficiency with another set of artisan's tools of your choice.

Skyfall Harness

At 1st level, you craft for yourself the signature safety harness of an Aeronaut. It is sized to fit you and can be worn over your clothing or light armor. The harness has wing-like fins between your limbs that can slow your fall or allow you to glide. When you fall, and aren't incapacitated, you subtract up to 100 feet from your fall when calculating falling damage, and can move 2 feet horizontally every 1 foot you fall. You cannot move further than twice your current speed in this way per turn.

Aeronaut Spells

Artificer Level	Spell
2nd	feather fall, zephyr strike
5th	dust devil, warding wind
9th	fly, wind wall
13th	death ward, summon elemental (air)
17th	control winds, steel wind strike

Flying Machine

Starting at 3rd level, at the end of a long rest, you can use your woodcarver's tools to construct a Flying Machine. You choose the Machine's appearance, but it has no effect on its abilities. Your Flying Machine has the following features:

• It is a magic item that requires attunement, and it can be used as a spellcasting focus for your artificer spells.
• It is built to fit your size, and it attaches to your Skyfall Harness (which is usable with your Flying Machine).
• You gain a flying speed of 15 feet, which increases as you gain levels in this class; at 5th level (20 feet), 9th level (30 feet), and in finally at 15th level (60 feet).

You can only have one Flying Machine at a time, and creating another causes the other to fall into disrepair.

Extra Attack

Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, rather than once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

Aerial Maneuvers

You have greatly improved the speed of your Flying Machine. Starting at 9th level, while wearing your Flying Machine, you can take the Dash action as a bonus action on your turn.

In addition, while you have your flying machine equipped, you gain a bonus to your Dexterity ability checks and saving throws equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of +1).

Master Aeronaut

You have become a master of Aeronaut artifice. Beginning at 15th level, while wearing your Flying Machine and you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed, and only half damage if you fail.

Alchemist

Alchemist

Alchemy is a delicate art, tip the ratio of ingredients too far out of line and the effects could be disastrous. Those that study the magic of arcane potions and brews are known as Alchemists. They are experts at combining exotic reagents to produce a variety of materials and effects. From healing droughts that can mend a wound in moments, to sticky goo that explodes when it comes in contact with open flame.

ou can perform a 1-minute ritual to banish your Infernal Engine into an empty demiplane. You do not need to be touching your infernal engine to complete this ritual. When you complete the ritual, all creatures aboard your Infernal Engine fall until they hit the ground or water, taking any falling damage if required. You can summon your Infernal Engine from this demiplane into an unoccupied space as an action, provided there is enough space within 100 feet of you on the ground or water. If your Infernal Engine of a given type is destroyed, you need to convert another comparable mundane vehicle to replace it.

At any given time you can only have one infernal engine on the same plane of existence as you. If you try to convert a vehicle into an Infernal engine or summon one from the demiplane, it fails to convert or be summoned.

You can only have up to one of each of the below Infernal Engines stored within the demiplane or converted into an infernal engine at any given time. If at any point you have two infernal engines of the same type, both within or outside the demiplane, choose which vehicle remains an infernal engine. All other vehicles of the same type return to their original mundane state. If a vehicle within your demiplane is turned mundane, it is lost to the astral plane.

Eldritch Ordnance

At 5th level, when you cast a spell of 1st level or higher, add 1d8 to the damage dealt. Additionally, while aboard your infernal engine, when you cast eldritch blast you can add your Intelligence modifier to all of the damage rolls if you don’t already add an ability modifier to them.

Dread Pact Magic

Starting at 9th level, the Dread Machine grants you greater power in exchange for your ongoing pledge to create it at all costs. You can cast any artificer spell you have prepared without expending a spell slot. This spell is cast as if you had expended the highest-level spell slot available to an artificer of your level in this class. Once you cast a spell in this way, you can’t do so again until you finish a long rest.

Infernal Dread

Starting at 9th level, the Dread Machine has imbued your Infernal Engine with greater eldritch power. Once per long rest, while you are touching your Infernal Engine, you can use a bonus action to make your Infernal Engine emit a 120 foot aura of dread for 1 minute from its center most point. When you use this feature, you can choose any number of creatures you can see to be unaffected by this feature. Whenever an affected creature that can see you enters the area of this feature or starts its turn within it, they must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your spell DC. On a failed save, the creature becomes frightened of you. While frightened this way, a creature must take the Dash action and move away from you by the safest route on each of its turns, unless there is nowhere to move. At the end of any affected creature’s turn it can make another Wisdom saving throw. The affected creature has advantage on the saving throw if it is in a location where it doesn’t have line of sight to you or your infernal engine. On a success, the effect ends for that creature. A creature that succeeds on the saving throw is immune to this feature for the next 24 hours.

Apocalyptic Metamorphosis

At 15th level, your body undergoes changes in preparation for the Dread Machine’s arrival. You gain the following benefits:

• You have resistance to damage from magic.
• While you are aboard your Infernal Engine, the vehicle has resistance to all damage and advantage on saving throws.

Reanimator

Reanimator

Most artificers prefer to work with chemicals or metals, but you work with flesh and bone. Other artificers are known to push boundaries in pursuit of magical advancement, but you transgress even those limits. These differences have resulted in your unique ability to manipulate the states of life and death. Others may believe these states are static, but to a reanimator they are dynamic—what is living may die, and what is dead may live again.

Tool Proficiency

When you adopt this specialization at 1st level, you gain proficiency with surgeon’s. If you already have this proficiency, you gain proficiency with one other type of artisan’s tools of your choice.

Reanimator Spells

Beginning at 1st level, you always have certain spells prepared after you reach particular levels in this class, as shown in the Reanimator Spells table. These spells count as artificer spells for you, but they don’t count against the number of artificer spells you can prepare.

Artificer Level	Spell
2nd	cure wounds, witch bolt
5th	gentle repose, hold person
9th	revivify, call lightning
13th	storm sphere, summon construct
17th	danse macabre, raise dead

Modern Prometheus

At 1st level, your transgressive experiments with life after death have borne fruit, and you have created a Composite Golem. It’s friendly to you and your companions and obeys your commands. See its game statistics in the Composite Golem stat block, which uses your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places. Your composite golem is covered in the stitches and staples necessary to keep the various body parts it’s composed of attached to one another.

In combat, the golem shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. It obeys your verbal commands (no action required by you). If you don’t issue any, it takes the Dodge action and uses its move to avoid danger. If you are incapacitated, the golem can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge.

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 surgeon’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 golem returns to life after 1 minute with all its hit points restored.

At the end of a long rest, you can create a new composite golem if you have surgeon’s tools and spare parts with you. If you already have a golem from this feature, the first one immediately perishes. The composite golem also perishes if you die.

Macabre Modules

At 3rd level, you can upgrade your composite golem in your idle time. When you finish a long rest, choose two macabre modules from the list below. Your golem gains the benefit of these modules until you use this feature again. Starting at 9th level, you can choose three macabre modules when you finish a long rest.

Adamant Staples. Your composite golem’s weapon attacks count as magical for the purposes of overcoming damage resistances. In addition, the golem has resistance to damage from critical hits.

Beastial Components. Your composite golem incorporates animal components to enhance its abilities. While this module is installed, your golem’s base movement speed increases by 10 feet, it has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) ability checks that rely on scent, and it has darkvision out to a distance of 120 feet.

Electric Touch. Your composite golem can cast the shocking grasp cantrip. When it casts this cantrip, it uses your spell attack modifier, counts as your level for the purposes of the cantrip’s damage scaling, and scores a critical hit on a result of 19 or 20 on the attack roll.

Growth Hormone. Your composite golem’s size increases to Large. Its maximum hit points increase by 2 per level you have in this class.

Iron Knuckles. When your composite golem hits a creature with a slam attack, that creature must succeed on a Strength saving throw with a DC of your artificer spell save DC or be pushed 5 feet or knocked prone (your choice).

Enlivening Discharge

At 5th level, when your composite golem is within 60 feet of you, you can use an action to fire a bolt of empowering energy at it. When you do, it gains the following benefits for the next minute:

• It gains resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.
• It regains a number of hit points equal to your Proficiency Bonus at the start of each of its turns.
• Its slam attack deals an additional 1d10 lightning damage. Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Reanimate Dead

At 9th level, you always have the animate dead spell prepared and can cast it without expending a spell slot. It counts as an artificer spell for you and does not count against the maximum number of spells you can prepare. When you cast the spell, the creature type of the skeletons or zombies created changes from undead to construct and has resistance to lightning damage.

Once you cast this spell without expending a spell slot, you cannot do so again until you finish a long rest.

In addition, whenever you create a construct with a spell, one can be created with a macabre module of your choice. Only one construct other than your Composite Golem can have a macabre module at any given time.

Spark of Life

Starting at 15th level, your understanding of the role that electricity has in starting and stopping life has led to improved outcomes. When you cast an artificer spell that restores hit points or deals lightning damage, roll 2d6 and add the result to the amount healed or lightning damage dealt by the spell.

Wandslinger

Wandslinger

For some artificers, magic is simply a means to an end, a way to increase their raw power. Those known as Wandslingers use their ingenuity and insightful minds to craft weapons of wondrous arcane potential. What they lack in flexibility and subtlety, they make up for in overwhelming arcane firepower. Often, Wandslingers are obsessed with dueling other mages, constantly seeking to prove their power in the arcane arts.

Though Wandslingers vary in appearance and motivation, they are marked by their signature Arcane Sidearms. For some, these sidearms are intricately carved wooden wands or staffs, for others they are expertly crafted iron cannons.

Tools of the Trade

When you adopt the Wandslinger Specialty at 1st level, you gain proficiency with woodcarver's tools. If you are already proficient with woodcarver's tools, you gain proficiency with another set of artisan's tools of your choice.

Arcane Sidearm

At 1st level, you learn to construct the trademark weapon of a Wandslinger, the Arcane Sidearm. At the end of a long rest, you can use your woodcarver's tools, or a set of artisan's tools that you are proficient with, to craft your Arcane Sidearm. It is a Tiny object, though you determine its appearance, and you can use it as a spellcasting focus for your artificer spells.

You can only have one Arcane Sidearm at a time. Creating a second Sidearm renders first Sidearm unusable.

As an action, you can use your Arcane Sidearm to make a spell attack against a creature that you can see within 120 feet. You are considered proficient with your Sidearm, and you use your Intelligence for the attack roll. On hit, it takes force damage equal to 1d10 + your Intelligence modifier.

Wandslinger Spells

Artificer Level	Spell
2nd	shield, thunderwave
5th	blur, shatter
9th	counterspell, lightning bolt
13th	vitriolic sphere*, wall of fire
17th	cone of cold, wall of force

Spellcraft Runes

Beginning at 3rd level, you can enhance your Arcane Sidearm with powerful Spellcraft Runes. At the end of each long rest, you inscribe your Sidearm with one of the Spellcraft Runes below. As a bonus action on your turn, while you are wielding your Sidearm, you can produce the effect of the Rune.

Rune of Blasting. Your Sidearm emits a blast of magic in an adjacent 15-foot cone, forcing creatures in that area to make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, creatures take 2d6 thunder damage and are knocked back 5 feet.

Rune of Destruction. Your Sidearm conjures a burst of lightning at a point you can see within 60 feet. Creatures within 5 feet must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking 2d6 lightning damage on a failure, and half as much on a success.

Rune of Protection. Your Sidearm produces a wave of positive energy that immediately grants you, and creatures of your choice within 10 feet of you, a number of temporary hit points equal to 1d6 + your Intelligence modifier.

Arcane Duelist

You wield your Sidearm with deadly skill. Starting at 5th level, when you use your action to make an attack with your Arcane Sidearm, you make two spell attacks, instead of one. Each of these attacks can target the same or separate creatures, but you must make a separate attack roll for each spell attack.

The number of spell attacks you make with your Arcane Sidearm increases at 11th level (3), and 17th level (4).

Empowered Runes

When you reach 9th level, your Spellcraft Runes increase in power. The rolls of all three of your Runes increase by 1d6.

In addition, you can inscribe your Arcane Sidearm with a new Spellcraft Rune at the end of a short or long rest.

Master Wandslinger

You have become a master Wandslinger. Starting at 15th level, your Arcane Sidearm improves in the following ways:

• When you use your action to cast a spell, you can make an attack with your Arcane Sidearm as a bonus action.
• Your Sidearm gains the benefits of all three Spellcraft Runes, but you can only activate one per bonus action.
• Once per short or long rest when you cast a spell using your Sidearm as your spellcasting focus, you can change the damage dealt by the spell to force damage.
