Geologist Artificer
Geologist Artificers are magical researchers. By channeling their magic through various enchanted samples they find on their adventures they are able to peer into the past of the stones. They use the knowledge gathered there to aid themselves and their allies in their everlasting quest for more knowledge.
Tool Proficiency
When you adopt this specialization at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with Jeweler's Tools or Mason's Tools(your choice). If you already proficiency in both of these tools, you gain proficiency with one other type of artisan's tools of your choice.
Geologist Spells
Starting at 3rd level, you always have certain spells prepared after you reach particular levels in this class, as shown in the Geologist Spells table. These spells count as artificer spells for you, but they don't count against the number of artificer spells you prepare.

Studied Advice
Beginning at 3rd level, your study of enchanted rocks and minerals has enlightened you to the ways of the world. As a bonus action, you can lend a quick word of advice on how to deal with the current situation to a creature other than yourself within 30 feet of you that can hear you. That creature can add a d4 to the next attack roll or saving throw it makes before the start of your next turn.

Mystic Samples

You gain access to 2 samples from the list below of your choice. You gain access to an additional sample from this list when you reach 5th and 9th level in this class.

Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace the spell you learned from this feature with another spell of your choice from any class. The new spell must be of a level you can cast.
Additionally, choose two of your skill proficiencies. Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses either of the chosen proficiencies.
