Magical Tinkering

Overview & Creation

At 1st level, you learn how to invest a spark of magic in objects that would otherwise be mundane. To use this ability, you must 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 the feature, though a single object can bear only one property at a time. The maximum number of objects you can affect with the 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.

Ritual Casting

Overview & Creation

You can cast an artificer spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell prepared.

Artificer Infusions

Overview & Creation

Artificers have invented numerous magical infusions that rapidly create magic items. To the untrained, artificers seem like wonderworkers, accomplishing in hours what others need weeks to complete. The description of each infusion tells you the type of item that can receive it. The description also tells you if 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 the infusion more than once.

Artificer Battlesmith

Overview & Creation

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.

Class Features

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 Battle Smith Spells 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 takes its turn immediately after yours. It can move and use its reaction on it's 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.   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 torevive 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   Mediun construct, neutral   Armor Class 15 (natural armor) Hit Points equal to steel defender's Constitution modifier + your Intelligence modifier + five times your level in this class Speed 40 ft. STR 14 (+2) DEX 12 (+1) CON 14 (+2) INT 4 (−4) WIS 10 (+0) CHA 6 (−2) Saving Throws Dex +3, Con +4 Skills Athletics +4, Perception +4 Damage Immunities poison Condition Immunities charmed, exhaustion, poisoned Senses darkvision 60 ft., passive Perception 14 Languages understands the languages you speak   Might of the Master. The following numbers increase by 1 when your proficiency bonus increases by 1: the defender’s skill and saving throw bonuses (above( and the bonuses to hit and damage of its rend attack, and the number of hit points restored by its Repair action (below).   Vigilant. The defender can't be surprised. Actions (Require Your Bonus Action)   Force-Empowered Rend. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5ft., one target you can see.

Reactions   Deflect Attack. The defender iposes disadvantage on the attack roll of one creature it can see that is within 5 feet of it, provided the attack roll is against a creature other than the 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.
