Amount of Spells Prepared: Intelligence modifier + half your artificer level

Short Description.

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.

Level 1 Feature.

Martial Levels.
There are three Martial Tiers. Full Martials, Half Martials and Non Martials. As an Artificer, you are a Non Martial, however, if your Specialisation grants you the Extra Attack feature, then the moment you select your Subclass, you will count as a Half Martial. Which means that from that moment forward, you have a Martial Level equal to half your level. When you gain Martial Levels, you can learn Advanced Techniques for weapons with specific Properties. You can find specifics on the Martial Level system in the place designed for it.

Level 1 Feature.

Magical Tinkering.

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 odour 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.

Level 2 Feature.

Infuse Item.
You've gained the ability to imbue mundane items with certain magical infusions, turning those objects into magic items.

Infusions Known.
When you gain this feature, pick four Artificer Infusions to learn, choosing from the Artificer Infusion list further down this page. 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.
When 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 only works only on certain kinds of objects, as specified in the infusions 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.

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. If an infusion ends on an item that contains other things, like a bag of holding, its contents harmlessly appear in and around its space.

Level 3 Feature.

The Right Tool for the Job.
You've learned 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.

Choose the type of Artificing Specialisation you poses, each of which is detailed at the end of the class's description.

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.

Level 8 Feature.

Ability Score Improvement.

-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.

Level 11 Feature.

Spell Storing Item.

You can now store a spell in an object. Whenever you finish a long rest, you can touch one Nonmagical Object that weighs 20 pounds or less, and you store a spell in it, choosing a 1st or 2nd level spell from the Artificer Spell List that requires one Action to cast.

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 hold said Concentration. 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.

Level 12 Feature.

Ability Score Improvement.

-When the wearer makes a Strength check or a Strength saving throw, it can expend 1 charge to add a bonus to the roll equal to its Intelligence modifier.

Homunculus Servant.
Prerequisite: A gem or crystal worth at least 100 gp
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, which uses your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places.
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 another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. If you are incapacitated, the homunculus can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge.
The homunculus regains 2d6 hit points if the mending spell is cast on it. If you or the homunculus dies, it vanishes, leaving its heart in its space.

Mind Sharpener.
Prerequisite: A suit of armor or robes
The infused item can send a jolt to the wearer to refocus their mind. The item has 4 charges.

Prerequisite: 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.

Returning Weapon.
Prerequisite: 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.
