Artificer Specialist
At 1st level, you choose the type of Artificer Specialist you are: Alchemist or Gunsmith, both of which are detailed at the end of the class description. Your choice grants you features at 1st level and again at 3rd, 9th, 14th, and 17th level.

Magic Item Analysis
Starting at 1st level, your understanding of magic items allows you to analyze and understand their secrets. You know the artificer spells detect magic and identify, and you can cast them as rituals. You don’t need to provide a material component when casting identify with this class feature.

Tool Expertise
Starting at 2nd level, your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses any of the tool proficiencies you gain from this class.

Wondrous Invention
At 2nd level, you gain the use of a magic item that you have crafted. Choose the item from the list of 2nd-level items below.

Crafting an item is a difficult task. When you gain a magic item from this feature, it reflects long hours of study, tinkering, and experimentation that allowed you to finally complete the item. You are assumed to work on this item in your leisure time and to finish it when you level up.

You complete another item of your choice when you reach certain levels in this class: 5th, 10th, 15th, and 20th level. The item you choose must be on the list for your current artificer level or a lower level.

These magic items are detailed in the Dungeon Master’s Guide.

• 2nd Level: bag of holding, cap of water breathing, driftglobe, goggles of night, sending stones
• 5th Level: alchemy jug, helm of comprehending languages, lantern of revealing, ring of
  swimming, robe of useful items, rope of climbing, wand of magic detection, wand of secrets
• 10th Level: bag of beans, chime of opening, decanter of endless water, eyes of minute seeing, folding boat, Heward’s handy haversack
• 15th Level: boots of striding and springing, bracers of archery, brooch of shielding, broom of flying, hat of disguise, slippers of spider climbing
• 20th Level: eyes of the eagle, gem of brightness, gloves of missile snaring, gloves of swimming and climbing, ring of jumping, ring of mind shielding, wings of flying

Spellcasting
As part of your study of magic, you gain the ability to cast spells at 3rd level. The spells you learn are limited in scope, primarily concerned with modifying creatures and objects or creating items.

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

Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher
You know three 1st-level spells of your choice from the artificer spell list (which appears at the end of this document).

The Spells Known column of the Artificer table shows when you learn more artificer spells of your choice from this feature. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots on the Artificer table. Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the artificer spells you know from this feature and replace it with another spell from the artificer spell list. The new spell must also be of a level for which you have spell slots on the Artificer table.

Spellcasting Ability
Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your artificer spells; your understanding of the theory behind magic allows you to wield these spells with superior skill. You use your Intelligence whenever an artificer spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, 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 can use an arcane focus as a spellcasting focus for your artificer spells. See chapter 5, “Equipment,” in the Player’s Handbook for various arcane focus options.

Infuse Magic
Starting at 4th level, you gain the ability to channel your artificer spells into objects for later use. When you cast an artificer spell with a casting time of 1 action, you can increase its casting time to 1 minute. If you do so and hold a nonmagical item throughout the casting, you expend a spell slot, but none of the spell’s effects occur. Instead, the spell transfers into that item for later use if the item doesn’t already contain a spell from this feature.

Any creature holding the item thereafter can use an action to activate the spell if the creature has an Intelligence score of at least 6. The spell is cast using your spellcasting ability, targeting the creature that activates the item. If the spell targets more than one creature, the creature that activates the item selects the additional targets. If the spell has an area of effect, it is centered on the item. If the spell’s range is self, it targets the creature that activates the item.

When you infuse a spell in this way, it must be used within 8 hours. After that time, its magic fades and is wasted.
You can have a limited number of infused spells at the same time. The number equals your Intelligence modifier.

Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th, 8th, 12th, 16th, and 18th 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.

Superior Attunement
At 5th level, your superior understanding of magic items allows you to master their use. You can now attune to up to four, rather than three, magic items at a time.

At 15th level, this limit increases to five magic items.

Mechanical Servant

Soul of Artifice
At 20th level, your understanding of magic items is unmatched, allowing you to mingle your soul with items linked to you. You can attune to up to six magic items at once. In addition, you gain a +1 bonus to all saving throws per magic item you are currently attuned to.

Artificers pursue a variety of specializations. The two most common ones, alchemy and engineering, are presented here.

Alchemist
An alchemist is an expert at combining exotic reagents to produce a variety of materials, from healing draughts that can mend a wound in moments to clinging goo that slows creatures down.

Alchemist’s Satchel
At 1st level, you craft an Alchemist’s Satchel, a bag of reagents that you use to create a variety of concoctions. The bag and its contents are both magical, and this magic allows you to pull out exactly the right materials you need for your Alchemical Formula options, described below. After you use one of those options, the bag reclaims the materials.

If you lose this satchel, you can create a new one over the course of three days of work (eight hours each day) by expending 100 gp worth of leather, glass, and other raw materials.

Alchemical Formula
At 1st level, you learn three Alchemical Formula options: Alchemical Fire, Alchemical Acid, and one other option of your choice. You learn an additional formula of your choice at 3rd, 9th, 14th, and 17th levels.
To use any of these options, your Alchemist’s Satchel must be within reach.
If an Alchemical Formula option requires a saving throw, the DC is 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier.

• Alchemical Fire. As an action, you can reach into your Alchemist’s Satchel, pull out a vial of
  volatile liquid, and hurl the vial at a creature, object, or surface within 30 feet of you (the vial and its contents disappear if you don’t hurl the vial by the end of the current turn). On impact, the vial detonates in a 5-foot radius. Any creature in that area must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take 1d6 fire damage.
  This formula’s damage increases by 1d6 when you reach certain levels in this class: 4th level
  (2d6), 7th level (3d6), 10th level (4d6), 13th
  level (5d6), 16th level (6d6), and 19th level (7d6).
• Alchemical Acid. As an action, you can reach into your Alchemist’s Satchel, pull out a vial of
  acid, and hurl the vial at a creature or object within 30 feet of you (the vial and its contents disappear if you don’t hurl the vial by the end of the current turn). The vial shatters on impact. A creature must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take 1d6 acid damage. An object automatically takes that damage, and the damage is maximized.
  This formula’s damage increases by 1d6 when you reach certain levels in this class: 3rd level (2d6), 5th level (3d6), 7th level (4d6), 9th level (5d6), 11th level (6d6), 13th level (7d6), 15th level (8d6), 17th level (9d6), and 19th level (10d6).
• Healing Draught. As an action, you can reach into your Alchemist’s Satchel and pull out a vial of healing liquid. A creature can drink it as an action to regain 1d8 hit points. The vial then disappears. Once a creature regains hit points from this alchemical formula, the creature can’t do so again until it finishes a long rest. If not used, the vial and its contents disappear after 1 hour. While the vial exists, you can’t use this formula.
  This formula’s healing increases by 1d8 when you reach certain levels in this class: 3rd level (2d8), 5th level (3d8), 7th level (4d8), 9th level (5d8), 11th level (6d8), 13th level (7d8), 15th level (8d8), 17th level (9d8), and 19th level (10d8).
• Smoke Stick. As an action, you can reach into your Alchemist’s Satchel and pull out a stick that produces a thick plume of smoke. You can hold on to the stick or throw it to a point up to 30 feet away as part of the action used to produce it. The area in a 10-foot radius around the stick is filled with thick smoke that blocks vision, including darkvision. The stick and smoke persist for 1 minute and then disappear. After using this formula, you can’t do so again for 1 minute.
• Swift Step Draught. As a bonus action, you can reach into your Alchemist’s Satchel and pull out a vial filled with a bubbling, brown liquid. As an action, a creature can drink it. Doing so increases the creature’s speed by 20 feet for 1 minute, and the vial disappears. If not used, the vial and its contents disappear after 1 minute. After using this formula, you can’t do so again for 1 minute.
• Tanglefoot Bag. As an action, you can reach into your Alchemist’s Satchel and pull out a bag filled with writhing, sticky black tar and hurl it at a point on the ground within 30 feet of you (the bag and its contents disappear if you don’t hurl the bag by the end of the current turn). The bag bursts on impact and covers the ground in a 5-foot radius with sticky goo. That area becomes difficult terrain for 1 minute, and any creature that starts its turn on the ground in that area has its speed halved for that turn. After using this formula, you can’t do so again for 1 minute.
• Thunderstone. As an action, you can reach into your Alchemist’s Satchel and pull out a crystalline shard and hurl it at a creature, object, or surface within 30 feet of you (the shard disappears if you don’t hurl it by the end of the current turn). The shard shatters on impact with a blast of concussive energy. Each creature within 10 feet of the point of impact must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or be knocked prone and pushed 10 feet away from that point.

Tradition of the Armorer

Tools of Destruction

When you take up the Tradition of the Armorer at 3rd level, you have Tool Expertise for any ability check you make that uses Smith’s Tools. In addition, you gain your Proficiency Bonus to attack rolls made with ranged weapons, and if you already have proficiency with the ranged weapon in question, you add your proficiency twice to the attack roll.

Precursor Weapon

Beginning at 4th level, your knowledge of arcane engineering allows you to channel your own magic power into a damaging form. Designate one Ammunition Ranged Weapon of your choice to act as your Precursor Weapon. That weapon can now convert spell slots into magic missiles that deal piercing & force damage equal to your Level + Intelligence modifier(on top of the weapon's normal damage), on hit. On your turn, you can expend spell slots and gain ammunition equal to the slot's level. Each round thereafter, your Precursor Weapon can either fire or be loaded with ammunition, as a Bonus Action. If your Precursor Weapon is destroyed, you can always create a new one using your Smith's Tools over the course of three days of work (8 hours each day) and by expending 100 gp worth of metal and raw materials.

Attacks made with your Precursor Weapon count as magical for the purposes of overcoming resistance, immunity, and vulnerability from non-magical damage.
Your Precursor Weapon can still attack with normal ammunition. You expend one piece of magic ammunition only after you have converted spell slots.
Firing while prone, does not incur disadvantage.
Heart of the Armaments

Beginning at 5th level, the Mechanical Servant and the armorer, form a more potent fighting team. Whenever you attack an enemy, your Mechanical Servant gains advantage on all saving throws and can use its reaction to make an attack against your target, on your turn.

Up Your Arsenal

Beginning at 8th level, obsessive tinkering has given you the skills to customize your devices, by significantly altering their design and impact the way they act in combat. Choose either one modification from the List of Precursor Upgrades for your weapon or an upgrade from the List of Mechanical Upgrades for your Servant. You can make additional modifications again at 13th and at 17th level.

List of Precursor Upgrades:
High Caliber: Your Precursor Weapon ignores penalties when attacking within long or melee range. The amount of ammunition for your Precursor Weapon increases by two, for each spell slot expended above a 2nd level or higher.
Farsight Scope: The maximum attack range of your Precursor Weapon increases by 30 feet. Additionally, it gives you eyesight vision at a 50 feet radius, when searching a wide area for a target of a particular type.
Sharpshooting Resonator: A creature of a Small or Medium size that gets hit by an attack from your Precursor Weapon, must succeed a Constitution saving through to avoid being knocked down.
Arcana Aim: Once per round, you can expend an additional spell slot to your attack roll made with your Precursor Weapon and gain bonus damage equal to the level of the spell slot expended.
Armor Piercing: Attacks made with your Precursor Weapon become quite effective against armor, by passing straight through unsealed areas. Targets with natural or worn armor take a -1d6 penalty to AC.
Mana Beam: Your Precursor Weapon can perform a special attack towards a number of targets within a 20 feet line of sight, on the same turn. The targets must make a Dexterity saving throw or receive damage on hit.
Arcane Blaster: Your Precursor Weapon concentrates the full extent of its magical power into a single devastating blast. Your attacks now explode on direct hit, creating a 15 feet burst radius of arcane energy around your target.
Living Forge

Beginning at 11th level, your knowledge of metallurgy on weapons and armor allow you to see their weaknesses. As a Bonus Action on your turn, you can make an ability check with your Smith's Tools to either learn about the construction of a non-magic item or attempt to destroy it, if it isn't being worn or carried.

Side Arm

At 15th level, your Precursor Weapon becomes more portable to ensure its safety by storing, equipping or drawing it within arm’s reach. For your convenience, it can expand into its true size only when needed without using an interaction. Once " unshrunk" the weapon remains operational until re-activated to shrink. If your Precursor Weapon gets lost, it is mysteriously found immediately following your next long rest.

Harrier

At 18th level, the Mechanical Servant can help you fight creatures you can't see. Your inability to see the creature doesn't impose disadvantage on your Attack rolls. Your construct is aware of the location of the invisible creature within 30 feet of its position. Additionally, whenever the invisible creature attacks your Mechanical Servant, your construct can use its reaction to halve the creature's attack damage.

Natural Marksmanship

At 20th level, whenever your weapon misfires on your Attack roll, you focus on your target within sight. On your next turn, you have advantage on ranged attack rolls made with your Precursor Weapon against that target, dealing an additional +2d6 bonus damage when you roll a critical hit. You can choose to use this feature before or after the roll, but before any effects of the roll are applied.

Tradition of the Maverick

Reactive Prowess

When you take up the Tradition of the Maverick at 3rd level, you gain Tool Expertise with one Martial Weapon of your choice. When an enemy attack misses you, as a reaction, you can roll a d4 and add the result to one ability check of your choice.

Arcane Impulse

Starting at 4th level, a thin sheet of magic begins to flows through your veins and spark from your fingertips. At any given time you may cast either the Produce Flame [4] or the Shocking Grasp [5] cantrips.

Spell Menace

Starting at 5th level, you find resourceful ways to use your magic. You may gain a temporary spell slot, by expending 1d4 Hit points per spell level. Temporary spell slots can have a combined level. (For example, you can recover either a 2nd-level spell slot or two 1st-level spell slots.)

Refined Toolkit

At 6th level, your skill with magical devices allows you to integrate a set of Artisan's Tools onto your Mechanical Servant's design. As a Bonus Action, your automaton can make a Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check and use the available tools to adeptly perform specific tasks related to a single craft that normally couldn’t employ. (subject to change)

Combat Infusion

Beginning at 8th level, the maverick learns how to temporary bestow eldritch magic to an effect they feel they need at the time. You can expend a spell slot to infuse the weapon you’re wielding with magical energy. You can withdraw your Combat Infusion as a Bonus Action, otherwise, its effect ends within 24 hours or when another creature attempts to wield the infused weapon. The weapon also becomes magical if it isn't already and any pre-existing magical quality it might have, becomes replaced by one infusion from the following list. You learn an additional Combat Infusion of your choice when you reach 10th, 12th, 14th, 16th, 18th and 20th level.

List of Combat Infusions:
Flame - Flames erupt from your weapon. While it is ablaze, it deals an extra 1d6 fire damage to any target on hit. Any flammable object hit by your attack(s), ignites if it isn't being worn or carried. This damage increases by 1d6 when you reach 14th level (2d6) and 18th level (3d6).
Frost - Your weapon can cause freezing temperatures to extinguish all non-magical flames within a 15-foot radius of you. When you hit with an attack, your target takes an extra 1d6 cold damage and its speed is reduced by 10 feet until the start of your next turn. This damage increases by 1d6 when you reach 14th level (2d6) and 18th level (3d6).
Blight - A noxious aura coats your weapon until you attack a creature. On hit, it begins to slowly drain the creature's vitality, which suffers disadvantage on ability checks in its subsequent turns until the end of the encounter.
Bane - Your weapon excels at slaying creatures opposite to your alignment. Whenever you strike with your weapon, you target receives an extra 1d8 piercing damage on hit. This damage increases by 1d8 when you reach 14th level (2d8) and 18th level (3d8).
Siege - Your weapon gains a (+3) bonus to attack & damage rolls made on constructs. When you roll a d20 on an attack roll with your weapon, the construct will receive an extra 1d10 bludgeoning damage. A construct that has less than 25 Hit points after taking this damage, is destroyed.
Smite - Your weapon sheds a bright light in a 15-foot radius and gains the Thrown property within a range of 30 feet.You can toss your weapon into the air and hit one target of your choice with a ranged attack. Immediately after, the weapon flies back to your hand. Whenever you hit a creature, your weapon deals an extra 1d8 radiant damage.
Force - Your weapon releases waves of concussive force. Each time you strike a creature, your target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failure, the creature is pushed up to 10 feet away from you and receives an extra force damage equal to your Intelligence modifier on impact.
Might - Your weapon grows double its size, but remains easy to handle. It can now be used with either one or two hands. Attack & Damage rolls increase by 1 size (d4 becomes d6, d6 becomes d8...etc) as appropriate to its new proportions.
Renegade Construct

At 9th level, your time between adventures is a great chance to perform research and show to the world what you are capable of. Make three improvements of your choice to your Mechanical Servant, from the List of Mechanical Upgrades. You can choose two additional improvements at 13th level, and one final at 19th level, to make the construct even more efficient.

Tactical Aptitude

Beginning at 15th level, your keen focus to assess tactical situations allows you to react more quickly in battle. On your turn, you can choose either to attack twice instead of once or designate two weapons of your choice with a Combat Infusion each, as a Bonus Action. (subject to change)

Intense Rivalry

At 17th level, you have an uncanny knack for succeeding when you need to. You gain a bonus to your Initiative Rolls equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of +1). Additionally, all damage rolls made by a weapon imbued with Combat Infusion, now score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20.

Relentless

At 20th level, the maverick becomes intimately familiar with the tools of arcane warfare and attains the pinnacle of resilience in battle. Whenever you are attacked by a Magical Weapon, you can roll an Intelligence saving throw to resist any of its special qualities from affecting you. On a success, the magic of the weapon fails to affect you. On a failed save, you can reroll your check to receive only half the amount of damage from the attack.

Tradition of the Inventor

Innovative Proficiency

When you take up the Tradition of the Inventor at 3rd level, you gain Tool Expertise for any ability check you make that uses Tinker's Tools. Additionally, when using a magical item with charges, you may use your spell slots to power the device. By expending one spell slot, you grant the device an additional charge of its effect.

Mobile Workroom

Starting at 4th level, all inventors become accustomed to craft as they travel. Your Magical Tool-belt becomes a "Mobile Workroom" - a portable backpack that holds all of your tools required to craft items. On command, it expands into a suitable work environment in any area you set it up. Any craft that normally would require a special area to craft in, such as a forge or laboratory, no longer requires such an area. There is no limit on the use of the equipment contained within. Once per day, during any long rest you may choose to forgo the normal benefits of your rest to complete one day's worth of crafting (check with your DM for other time restraints/increases). Additionally, up to once per week, you may spend up to 1 full day without rest, ignoring any normal penalties for doing so.

Wondrous Invention

At 5th level, you dedicate yourself to leaving a mark on the world with what you have crafted. It is assumed that you were working on your new invention in your leisure time (between game sessions), but did not declare what it was until it was finished. That invention reflects long hours of study, tinkering, and experimentation that allowed you to finally complete it. The item you create must be one magic item of your choice from the following list. You craft another new invention when you reach certain levels at 9th, 13th, and 17th level.

List of Wondrous Inventions:
At 5th Level: • Lantern of Revealing [6] • Sovereign Glue [7] • Immovable Rod [8] • Deck of Illusions [9]•chime of opening
At 9th Level: • Slippers of Spider Climbing [10] • Decanter of Endless Water [11] • Rope of Climbing [12] • Marvelous Pigments [13]
At 13th Level: • Robe of Eyes [14] • Cape of the Mountebank [15] • Mirror of Life Trapping [16] • Ring of Mind Shielding [17]
At 17th Level: • Folding Boat [18] • Iron Bands of Binding [19] • Robe of Useful Items [20] • Cubic Gate [21]
(Note: These magic items are detailed in the Dungeon Master’s Guide.)

Flawless Craftmanship

At 8th level, your experiences in building complicated creations efficiently has given you the ability to multitask. Once per day, when you fail an ability check using your Tinker's tools, you can choose to succeed instead.

Mechanical Adaptability

At 10th level, you become more efficient at constantly improving your Mechanical Servant. Put your knowledge to apply up to two upgrades of your choice, from the List of Mechanical Upgrades. You may alter your chosen upgrades at any given time, for two different ones from the list by taking 24 hours of work, to do so.

Salvage

At 12th level, when looking for tinkering materials, by using your Tinker's Tools you can dismantle two magical items in your possession, and use their components to create a new item of equal rarity. The cost of raw materials and time required to craft the new item is based on the item's original cost reduced by 50%.

Presence of Explosive Intellect

At 16th level, the inventor's Mechanical Servant gains the effects of "Clockwork Brain" & "Spark of Intellect" innately from the List of Mechanical Upgrades. The construct also now shares a mental connection with the inventor like that of a familiar.

Intuitive Craftitude

At 19th level, you gain an uncanny understanding of how any magical device works and you can expertly operate machines that you have had no prior experience with, simply by touch. You can also sense faults in metal ore, communicate with sentient constructs and Identify the presence of mechanical or magical traps. As an action, you can open your awareness — within 30 feet — to detect and locate a specific magical device known to you. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier. Whenever you finish a Long Rest, you regain all expended uses. To gain this benefit, you can't be Blinded, Deafened, or Incapacitated. You can use this feature to examine a fairly simple magical device and disable it or attempt to disarm a mechanical trap or jam a magical lock (in either the open or closed position).

Tradition of the Alchemist

Alchemical Studies

When you take up the Tradition of the Alchemist at 3rd level, you gain Tool Expertise for any ability check you make that uses Alchemist’s Supplies. You always have advantage when trying to Identify the chemical makeup of an object.

Apothecary Satchel

At 4th level, your Magical Tool-belt becomes an Apothecary Satchel, that now also acts as a portable storage for a variety of potions. The magical contents of the bag allow you to pull out the exactly right materials to prepare your formulas, without any roll. You use your Alchemist’s Supplies to produce any of these potions. If you lose your satchel, you can create a new one over the course of 1d8 days of work, by expending (100 gp) worth of leather, glass, raw materials etc.

Alchemical Concoctions:
When the alchemist would like to craft a potion, they would announce it to their DM. To make a formula you know into a potion requires special preparation of at least 1 minute. For the process of preparing a formula, you must expend a Spell Slot per potion quantity. You regain all expended Spell Slots when you finish a Long Rest. As an action, you can throw or hurl a flask up to 20 feet with a ranged attack as an Improvised Weapon against a creature or object, shattering it on impact. You know three formulas of your choice from the following list and you learn one additional formula at 6th, 9th, 13th, and 17th levels.

List of Formulas:
Essence of Night
Duration: 1 Hour
A vial that contains a cold, oily draught that reflects the stars in a night sky. If consumed, the potion suppresses the effects of light sensitivity, if the drinker has any. Additionally it provides advantage on Stealth checks and Darkvision for up to 60 feet. When hurled with a ranged attack, a misty vapor of darkness slowly spreads from the point of origin within a 60 feet radius and obscures all sight, beyond 5 feet. For the duration light can’t illuminate it and all creatures in the area gain the effects of total concealment. The alchemist who threw the vial can see through this darkness, and abilities that can see through magical darkness, cannot see through this darkness.
Arctic Draught
Duration: 1 Hour
This bottle of crystalline blue fluid sublimates slightly and starts to evaporate when exposed to air. If consumed, the potion grants Immunity to fire damage. When poured over water, the fluid pools on the surface and spreads out from the point of origin in a 20-foot radius. At the start of the next round, the fluid flash-freezes, creating a layer of ice over the affected area. The ice becomes unstable and breaks up on its own after the duration. Any creature whose bare skin comes in contact with the affected area takes 1d6 cold damage. The damage for this formula increases at the same rate as alchemist's fire.
Alchemist’s Fire
Duration: -
This bottle of sticky, adhesive fluid ignites almost instantly if exposed to air, significant friction, or even simple force such as throwing it against the flat surface. When hurled with a ranged attack the targeted creature takes 3d6 fire damage from the splash. On the following rounds, all affected creatures take additional 1d4(scales to 2d4 at 10th level, and 3d4 at 20th level) fire damage at the start of each turn. A creature can end this damage by using its action to make a Dexterity saving throw against your spell DC to extinguish the flames. At level 5 the damage of the initial attack is 4d6, at level 10 it's 5d6, at 15th level it's 6d8, and at 20th level it does 7d8 fire damage. At 10th level, immunity to fire damage is treated as resistance, and resistance is ignored entirely.
Liquid Blade
Duration: 10 minutes
This palm-sized metal tube contains a bubbling transparent liquid. You can empty the contents of the tube with a quick flick of your wrist, causing the liquid within to instantly solidify into a jagged crystalline blade. By holding the tube, you can then use the crystalline blade as if it were a Shortsword. The blade lasts for 10 minutes, after which it evaporates, leaving nothing behind but the tube.
Cactus Kiss
Duration: 5 rounds
This flask of vivid green fluid instantly crystallizes into needle-like shards if exposed to air. When hurled with a ranged attack, a direct hit deals 4d4 points of piercing damage as the shards penetrate the target’s flesh. If the flask hits a flat surface, a 10 feet radius area from the point of origin is covered in shards that function like caltrops, the DC to avoid stepping on them is your spell DC. The caltrops last for 5 rounds before dissolving into harmless green sludge. The damage of cactus kiss increases to 5d4 at 5th level, 6d4 at 10th level, 7d6 at 15th level, and 8d6 at level 20.
Sweet Admixture
Duration: 1 hour
This sugary pink drink is often cut with mint to reduce the cloying sweetness. When consumed, the potion brightens your demeanor and sweetens your attitude, granting you a +1d8 bonus on Persuasion and Deception checks. However, it renders you naive and perilously trusting, imparting a -1d4 penalty on your Insight checks for the duration.
Antitoxin
Duration: 1 hour
This vial of foul-tasting, milky tonic provides the drinker with long-term care of treating poison. For the duration, the target has a +1d4 bonus on Constitution saving throws against being poisoned, and it has resistance to poison damage for 1 hour. If a creature is already poisoned, it neutralizes the poison. If more than one poison afflicts the target, it neutralizes one poison effect at random.
Luminous Water
Duration: 12 hours / 1 round
This alchemical substance is created from bioluminescent moss. This substance will glow in natural darkness, illuminating the immediate area as a light spell for 12 hours if kept in a glass flask or other transparent container. When poured over the surface of an object that is no larger than 10 feet in any dimension, the object sheds a dim light in a 20 feet radius. If the flask is hurled with a ranged attack, the substance will ignite with a moderate application of friction. This ignition does not cause harm but instead creates theatrical sparks that will blind creatures within a 10 feet radius burst for 1 round. This increases to 2 rounds at level 10, and at that same level, the radius doubles.
Slime Gel
Duration: 1 hour
This vial of slick gel sublimates instantly if exposed to air. When hurled with a ranged attack it covers a 20 feet radius of any flat surface, with a mass of thick, sticky slime and turns it into difficult terrain for the duration. Each creature standing in this area must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or becomes restrained. A creature that enters the area or starts its turn there, can use its action to make a Strength check against the slime. If it succeeds, it is no longer restrained. On a failed save, the creature is restrained until it breaks free.
Hydrathistle Nectar
Duration: 2 hour
When this substance is soaked in natural water, it filters and purifies it, making it safe for drinking. The filtration is enough to remove mundane impurities and common diseases, but does nothing to protect against poisons, magic, and other exotic threats. If consumed, the substance grants the drinker the ability to breathe underwater for up to 2 hours and eliminates the effects of alcohol intoxication within 10 minutes of drinking it. Affected creatures also retain their normal mode of respiration.
Golemancy

Starting at 5th level, you modify your Mechanical Servant to stand apart from the other constructs, in the animating nature of a golem - but with the unique traits of its original design. The automaton's physical body can be now made out of any semi-natural material component of your choice (like stone, iron, wood...etc). Additionally, it gains one permanent improvement from the List of Mechanical Upgrades. Beyond the service of its creator, the golem can now assist with the creation of any item you are able to craft, allowing that item to be completed with half the normal time.

Runecraft

At 10th level, the alchemist has gained the skills and knowledge to use their Infuse Magic feature through arcane inscriptions, called Runes. Different types of Runes channel magic in a certain way to create an effect, though one thing that all runes have in common is that they require to be inscribed on a on any flat surface you designate (a wall, a piece of paper, and so on), in order for their magic to take effect. To perform the inscription of a rune, you must first succeed on an Arcana check and expend a Spell Slot equal to the spell's level. Runes exist as one of three types:

Mark - (Lasting Effect) - The inscription of a Mark appears to last for a number of hours equal to your Level - until the rune is activated. Inscribing such a rune onto the body of a living creature, requires that the target must be willing or helpless. Inscribing the rune upon an object requires that the object must be attuned onto you first. After the spell’s effect ends, the rune fades away.
Seal - (Triggered Effect) - The inscription of a Seal subsequently appears to act as the rune's trigger. Seals last until triggered, dispelled or erased. The first creature that comes in physical contact with the inscribed surface, activates the rune. An activated Seal generates a radius effect around it, a number of feet equal to your Level and affects all creatures in that area.
Glyph - (Combining Effect) - The inscription of a Glyph appears to weave together the effects of two different spells, while the duration of those spells overlaps. A Glyph is spontaneous, and generate both spells' effect immediately upon completion. Unlike other types, it is only a one-step process: Inscribing the rune on your target and activating it, occur at the same time, until the spells' duration ends.
Retain Essence

At 14th level, any roll used by your potions increases by 1 size (i.e d4 increases to d6, d6 increases to d8, d8 increases to d10, d10 increases to d12...etc)

Potent Reagents

Starting at 16th level, you gain the ability to create superior concoctions using your Alchemist’s Supplies. Once per day, when you use a potion that requires your target to make a saving throw against its effect(s), you may impose disadvantage on the saving throw.

Effective Elixir

Starting at 18th level, the alchemist can combine two formulas to create an Elixir. The result will provide the effects of both potions with a single roll, but it must be used within 24 hours or it loses of all its properties, becoming useless sludge. Elixirs are notorious for their side effects and for their dangerous unpredictability when mixed together. Some alchemical creations are less stable than others. You can administer such a volatile mix to yourself only once a day.

Grand Discovery

At 20th level, the alchemist makes one grand discovery from the list below, representing a truly astounding alchemical breakthrough of significant import. For many alchemists, the promise of one of these grand discoveries is the primary goal of their experiments and hard work.

Awakened Intellect - The alchemist's constant exposure to strange chemicals has expanded your mind. Your Intelligence score permanently increases by 2 points. All potions created by you add your Proficiency bonus to their damage and healing.
Elixir of Life - The alchemist has discovered a cure for aging, and from this point forward he takes no penalty to his physical ability scores from advanced age. If the alchemist is already taking such penalties, they are removed at this time. Your body has also built a newfound resistance to chemicals that an average person cannot take and become permanently immune to poison, no matter what.
Philosopher's Stone - The alchemist learns how to create a philosopher's stone, and can do so once per month at no cost. Creating a philosopher's stone takes 1 day of work. This artifact enables any character to transmute base metals (iron and lead) into silver and gold. A single philosopher’s stone can turn up to 5,000 pounds of iron into silver (worth 25,000 gp), or up to 1,000 pounds of lead into gold (worth 50,000 gp). You could also do the exact opposite, if you wished to ruin someone's finances.

Spellcasting
As part of your study over magic, you gain the ability to cast spells. The spells you learn are limited in scope, primarily concerned with modifying creatures and objects or creating items.

Spellcasting Focus
A focus is characterized as a unique magical instrument primarily used by scholar professions. It is designed to channel the power of arcane spells through concentration of the mind to centralize their effects. You must choose one object with the appearance of your choice – like an orb, a staff, a trinket or some other similar item – to serve as your spellcasting focus. This object must always be carried on your character in order for you to cast your spells. If not, you must spend 2d4 days creating another mundane item to serve as your Spellcasting Focus for 10gp, or cast your spells with a penalty of -1d4 on your checks.

Spell Slots
The Artificer table shows how many spell slots you have available for your spells. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a spell slot of equal level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

Spells Known as of 1st Level and Higher
You know the spells of your choice from the artificer spell list below. The Spells Known column of the Artificer table, shows when will you learn more spells. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have a spell slot. Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the Artificer's spells you already know and replace it with another spell of equal level, from the Artificer spell list.

Spellcasting Ability
Your spellcasting ability is defined by your Intelligence. Your understanding of the theory behind the magic, allows you to wield these spells with superior skill. In addition, you can use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a spell you cast or 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

Magical Tool-belt
This tool-belt is seemingly endless and while not totally magical in nature, useful items that can be found in an artificer's workshop can be pulled out of its pouches (within reason of the DM’s discretion). Additionally, you can store other various small-sized items and retrieve them at a later time. However, larger items, especially things that don't have to do with magic or mechanics require the belt 24 hours to recharge. It is also known that very big items, such as magical weapons, cannot be pulled out of the tool-belt because they aren't normally found in any laboratory or workshop. At 1st level, you gain the ability to pull out small (book sized or smaller) items. These items may serve a singular function, provided by the player as a general description of each item as well as how it works (i.e making noise). Regardless of its contents, retrieving an item from its pouches requires an Action.

Cost = 1 spell slot per Big Item
List of useful items that can be pulled out of the tool-belt:

• Artisan’s Tools or Kits • Nuts & Bolts • Gears • Paper Scroll(s) • Quill & Ink • Nail(s) & Screw(s) • Empty Vial(s) • Medical Bandage(s) • Safety Whistle • Welding Goggles • Magnet(s)

Item Creation
The hallmark ability of all artificers is their aptitude to craft items. You can forge any item from which you have learned the proper formula. While it is possible for nearly any character to craft magical items, only an artificer possesses the necessary talent to craft without the need of a written guide or design, by re-creating such formulas from memory. You begin to play with the knowledge of a formula for every creatable item from the Dungeon Master’s Guide. At each level, you learn a unique item formula as noted in the Artificer's Class Features table. The complexity of a formula is based on the rarity of the item you wish to create.

Item Common Uncommon Rare Very Rare Legendary

Av. Cost 50-100gp 100-500gp 500-1,000gp 1,000-5,000gp 5,000-10,000+gp

Craft Cost 40-75gp 250gp 750gp 2,500gp 7.500+gp

Craft Time 1 day 4 days 25 days 250 days 730+ days

Approx Time " " 1 month 8 months 2 years

Max Lvl Spell Scroll 1 3 5 8 9

Crafting magical items is normally a lengthy process, and is based on the cost of crafting an item. The artificer is assumed to work for 8 hours per day and makes progress in 50gp increments. Additional workers can reduce these crafting times dramatically and add 15 gp of progress per day of assistance, which in the case of more advanced items becomes vital in terms of time. You might also need access to Special materials or locations necessary to create it. For example, someone proficient with smith’s tools needs a forge in order to craft a sword or suit of armor.

Magic items that reproduce the effects of a specific spell will require the spell in question, to be cast at least once during the creation process.The spell may be cast either by the artificer or by anyone assisting in their craft.
Multiple characters can combine their efforts toward the crafting of a single item, provided that the characters all have proficiency with the requisite tools and are Working Together in the same place. A skilled worker may be hired to assist in item creation at the cost of 2 gp per day of labor, per worker. Having greater than 10 hired workers assisting in any given project will in some cases begin to stretch the bounds of plausibility.
Artificers are able to tinker with their latest work during brief moments of downtime. At the end of a long rest, if they did not dedicate 8 hours of work in the last 24 hours, you make 10 GP of progress towards a magic item.

Repair Damage
Beginning at 2nd level, an artificer may repair any construct through touch, leaving no trace of the former damage. The construct regains a number of hit points equal to 1d8 + your Intelligence modifier + your Level. Additionally, you can repair small multiple breaks or tears in broken objects that can visibly rejoin to be as strong as new. If you have two pieces of an object that was previously broken, it will require both parts for it to work.

Arcane Discovery
At 2nd level, artificers experience a deep natural understanding of how magical items work and all the power that lies within. You can cast Detect Magic[2] & Identify[3] at will, at no cost. These spells don't count against the number of spells you already know or require any components to be performed.

Schema's Book
At 2nd level, you create a leather-bound tome with blank pages suitable for recording magical blueprints called "schema(s)". As you learn to recognize patterns of magic on your adventures your Schema's Book will prove to be an essential tool. Whenever you are able to successfully Identify a magical effect or spell that has either verbal, somatic or material components, you can transfer their properties in the pages of your book. The schema itself will not allow you to cast the spell directly, like a spell scroll, but it can help you understand how its magic works. Whenever you create a mundane item, you can apply to it the magic properties of an inscribed schema.

Anytime you complete a short rest, you may spend a part of your time working with a quill and ink to transcribe a schema that contains one spell from those you know to your book. For each schema, the transcription process takes 2 hours and costs (50gp) per spell level, for the rare inks needed to inscribe it.
Note: Proficiency with Calligrapher's Supplies reduces the time required to inscribe a schema to 1 hour.
The spells that you add to your Schema's Book reflect all the arcane research you conduct on your own. You could, for example, discover a spell recorded on a scroll or in a dusty tome of an ancient library. When you find a spell scroll of 1st level or higher, you can add it to your Schema's Book, but only if the spell’s level is equal to or less than your level (rounded up).

Tool Expertise
At 3rd level, you master the type of tools that you are more proficient with. You gain Expertise with that type, which means that your Proficiency Bonus is doubled for any ability checks you make with those type of tools.

Infuse Magic
At 4th level, all artificers learn how to imbue a bit of their own magical energy into a mundane item, to temporarily make a magical infusion for later use. You can channel your spells through objects by expending a spell slot to cast one of your spells while holding a non-magical item throughout the casting. When it takes effect, the object becomes the point of origin of the spell. You can activate the effect or dismiss it with either a Bonus Action or a reaction if the condition for the triggering is met. In any case, the object must be in your line of sight. When you imbue an item this way, the spell must be used within the next 12 hours. After that time expires, the magic loses its potency and fades. You can have a limited number of magically infused items at the same time, equal to your Intelligence modifier + Level.

The item must not already contain a spell from this feature.
Any creature, with an Intelligence score of at least 6, holding the item thereafter can use an action to activate the spell.

Most common triggers are touching, hitting, approaching or even specific manipulation of the object.
If the spell has an area of effect, it is centered around the item.
If the spell is self-effective (i.e. Heal), it targets the creature that activates the item.

Ability Score Increase
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by (+2) points, 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.

Mechanical Servant

Soul of Artifice
Certain magic items have a pre-require to bond with their wielder, before their magical properties can be used. This bond is called "Attunement". Without becoming attuned to an item that requires attunement, a creature gains only its nonmagical benefits, unless its description states otherwise.

Attuning to an item requires you to spend a Long Rest, focused on only that item while being in physical contact with it (this can’t be the same Long rest used to learn the item’s properties). This focus can take the form of weapon practice (for a weapon), meditation (for a wondrous item), or some other appropriate activity. If the attunement is interrupted, the attempt fails.

Soul of Artifice I: Master Attunement

At 5th level, your understanding of magic items allows you to master their use. The time required to attune to a magic item is cut in half if you crafted the item yourself, or cut by 25% if you didn't.

Soul of Artifice II: Unique Attunement

At 10th level, your intimate familiarity with magic allows you to gain benefits intuitively. You can now attune up to four magic items at a time, and gain a +1 bonus to all saving throws per magic item you are currently attuned to.

Soul of Artifice III: Revered Attunement

At 15th level, your understanding of magic items is unmatched, allowing you to mingle your own soul when you hold a unique magical equipment. When you attune to a magic item, you slowly learn its schema (if any) over the course of 1d4 days. You can now attune with up to 5 magic items at a time.

Soul of Artifice IV: Exalted Attunement

At 20th level, you have learned enough about the workings of magic that you can improvise the use of items even when they are not intended for you. You ignore all class and race requirements on the use of magic items. You can now attune with up to 6 magic items at a time. You gain advantage in any roles involving magic items of which you know the schema for.
