• any two simple weapons of your choice
• a light crossbow and 20 bolts
• (a) studded leather armor or (b) scale mail
• three tools you are proficient with and a dungeoneer's pack

Magical Tinkering

At 1st level, you learn 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 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 until dispelled. 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 proficiency bonus. If you try to exceed your maximum, the oldest property immediately ends, and then the new property applies.

Infusions Known

When you gain this feature, pick four artificer infusions to learn, choosing from the "Artificer Infusions" section at the end of the class's description. 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 your infusions with a new one. Any items made with the old infusion cease to function.

Infusing an Item

Whenever 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 works on only certain kinds of objects, as specified in the infusion's description. If the item requires attunement, you can attune 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.

Arcane Propulsion Armor

Prerequisites: 14th level, A suit of armor (requires attunement)

The wearer of this armor gains these benefits:

The wearer's walking speed increases by 10 feet.

The armor includes gauntlets, each of which is a magic melee weapon that can be wielded only when the hand is holding nothing. The wearer is proficient with the gauntlets, and each one deals 1d8+your Intelligence modifier force damage on a hit and has the thrown property, with a normal range of 20 feet and a long range of 60 feet. When thrown, the gauntlet detaches and flies at the attack's target, then immediately returns to the wearer and reattaches. The armor can't be removed against the wearer's will.

If the wearer is missing any limbs or they are non-functional, the armor replaces those limbs—hands, arms, feet, legs, or similar appendages. The replacements function identically to the body parts they replace.

Armor of Magical Strength

Prerequisite: A suit of armor (requires attunement)

This armor has 6 charges. The wearer can expend the armor's charges in the following ways:

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.

If the creature would be knocked prone, it can use its reaction to expend 1 charge to avoid being knocked prone. The armor regains expended charges daily at dawn.

Boots of the Winding Path

Prerequisites: 6th level, A pair of boots (requires attunement)

While wearing these boots, a creature can teleport up to 15 feet as a bonus action to an unoccupied space the creature can see. The creature must have occupied that space at some point during the current round.

Enhanced Arcane Focus

Prerequisite: A rod, staff, wand or a firearm (requires attunement)

While holding this item, a creature gains a +1 bonus to spell attack rolls. In addition, the creature ignores half cover when making a spell or a ranged attack.

If the enhanced item was a firearm, it also gains a +1 to its attack and damage rolls unless it already has an increase to attack or damage rolls. It is considered magical for the purposes of overcoming resistance to non-magical attacks.

The bonus increases to +2 when you reach 10th level in this class.

Enhanced Defense

Prerequisite: A suit of armor or a shield

A creature gains a +1 bonus to Armor Class while wearing (armor) or wielding (shield) the infused item unless the item already grants a higher bonus (such as a +2 Shield)

The bonus increases to +2 when you reach 10th level in this class.

Enhanced Weapon

*Prerequisite: any object

This object becomes a magic weapon and gains a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it unless it already has an increase to attack or damage rolls.

The bonus increases to +2 when you reach 10th level in this class.

Helm of Awareness

Prerequisites: 8th level, A helmet (requires attunement)

While wearing this helmet, a creature has advantage on initiative rolls. In addition, the wearer can't be surprised, provided it isn't incapacitated.

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.

If you have the ability to command other creatures as a bonus action, such as the Battle Smiths Steel Defender, you can command the Homunculus with the same bonus action

The homunculus regains 2d8 hit points if the mending spell is cast on it. If the homunculus dies, it vanishes, leaving its heart in its space.

Tool Proficiency

When you adopt this specialization at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with alchemist's supplies. If you already have this proficiency, you gain proficiency with one other type of artisan's tools of your choice.

Experimental Elixir

Beginning at 3rd level, whenever you finish a long rest, you can magically produce two experimental elixirs in empty flasks you touch. Choose an effect from the experimental elixirs table. The effect is triggered when someone drinks the elixir. As an action, a creature can drink the elixir or administer it to a willing or unconcious creature.

Creating an experimental elixir requires you to have alchemist's supplies on your person, and any elixir you create with this feature lasts until it is drunk or until the end of your next long rest.

When you reach certain levels in this class, you can make more elixirs at the end of a long rest: three at 6th level, four at 10th level and six at 15th level. Each elixir requires its own flask.

You can create additional experimental elixirs by expending a spell slot of 1st level or higher for each one. When you do so, you use your action to create the elixir in your hand.

Alchemical Savant

At 5th level, you develop masterful command of magical chemicals, enhancing the healing and damage you create through them.

Whenever you cast an Artificer spell, you gain a bonus to one roll of the spell. That roll must restore hit points or be a damage roll that deals acid, fire, necrotic, or poison damage, and the bonus equals your Intelligence modifier (minimum of +1).

Restorative Reagents

Starting at 9th level, you can incorporate restorative reagents into some of your works:

Whenever a creature drinks an experimental elixir you created, the creature gains temporary hit points equal to 2d6 + your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1 temporary hit point). You learn Lesser restoration and it does not count towards your number of spells prepared. You can cast it without expending a spell slot, provided you use alchemist's supplies as the spellcasting focus. You can do so a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Tool Proficiency

You gain proficiency with heavy armor. You also gain proficiency with smith's tools. If you already have this tool proficiency, you gain proficiency with one other type of artisan's tools of your choice.

Arcane Armor

Starting at 3rd level, your metallurgical pursuits have led to you making armor a conduit for your magic. As an action, you can turn a suit of armor you are wearing into Arcane Armor, provided you have smith's tools in hand.

You gain the following benefits while wearing this armor:

If the armor normally has a Strength requirement, the arcane armor lacks this requirement for you. You can use the arcane armor as a spellcasting focus for your artificer spells. The armor attaches to you and can't be removed against your will. It also expands to cover your entire body, although you can retract or deploy parts of it as a bonus action. The armor allows non-functional limbs to move as normal and replaces any missing limbs, functioning identically to a limb it replaces. You can doff or don the armor as an action. The armor continues to be Arcane Armor until you turn another armor into your Arcane Armor or you die.

Guardian

When a Huge or smaller creature you can see ends its turn within 30 feet of you, you can use your reaction to magically force it to make a Strength saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failed save, you pull the creature up to 25 feet directly closer to you to an unoccupied space. If you pull the target to a space within 5 feet of you, you can make a melee weapon attack against it as part of this reaction. You can use this reaction a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses of it when you finish a long rest.

Infiltrator

Any creature that takes lightning damage from your Lightning Launcher glimmers with magical light until the start of your next turn. The glimmering creature sheds dim light in a 5-foot radius, and it has disadvantage on attack rolls against you, as the light jolts it if it attacks you. In addition, the next attack roll against it has advantage.

Tool Proficiency

When you adopt this specialization at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with woodcarver's tools. If you already have this proficiency, you gain proficiency with one other type of artisan's tools of your choice.

Eldritch Cannon

At 3rd level, you learn how to create a magical cannon. Using woodcarver's tools or smith's tools, you can take an action to magically create a Small or Tiny eldritch cannon in an unoccupied space on a horizontal surface within 5 feet of you. A Small eldritch cannon occupies its space, and a Tiny one can be wielded in one hand.

Once you create a cannon, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest or until you expend a spell slot of 1st level or higher. You can have only one cannon at a time and creating another one immediately turns the old one to dust.

The cannon is a magical object. Regardless of size, the cannon has an AC of 18 and a number of hit points equal to five times your artificer level. It is immune to poison damage and psychic damage, and all conditions. If it is forced to make an ability check or a saving throw, treat all its ability scores as 10 (+0). If the mending spell is cast on it, it regains 2d8 hit points. It disappears if it is reduced to 0 hit points or after 1 hour. You can dismiss it early as an action.

When you create the cannon, you determine its appearance and whether it has legs. You also decide which type it is, choosing from the options on the Eldritch Cannons table. On each of your turns, you can take a bonus action to cause the cannon to activate if you are within 60 feet of it. As part of the same bonus action, you can direct the cannon to walk or climb up to 15 feet to an unoccupied space, provided it has legs. If the cannon does not have legs it can't move but it can't be knocked prone.

Arcane firearm

At 5th level, you know how to turn a wand, staff, rod or a firearm into an arcane firearm, a conduit for your destructive spells. When you finish a long rest, you can use woodcarver's tools to carve special sigils into a wand, staff, rod or firearm and thereby turn it into your arcane firearm. The sigils disappear from the object if you later carve them on a different item. The sigils otherwise last indefinitely.

You can use your arcane firearm as a spellcasting focus for your artificer spells. Once per turn when you cast an artificer spell through the arcane firearm or attack with it, roll a d8, and you gain a bonus to one of the damage rolls equal to the number rolled.

Explosive Cannon

Starting at 9th level, every eldritch cannon you create is more destructive:

The cannon's damage rolls all increase by 1d8.

As an action, you can command the cannon to detonate. Doing so destroys the cannon and forces each creature within 20 feet of it to make a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC, taking 5d8 force damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one.

As a bonus action, you can teleport the cannon to an unoccupied space within 5 ft of you that you can see.

Tool Proficiency

When you adopt this specialization at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with smith's tools. If you already have this proficiency, you gain proficiency with one other type of artisan's tools of your choice.

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 magical or infused 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, which uses your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places. 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 defender 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, or command it as part of your Attack action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. If you are incapacitated, the defender can take any action of its choice.

The Steel Defender counts as one set of armor and one melee weapon for the purposes of Artificer Infusions

If the mending spell is cast on it, it regains 2d8 hit points. If it has died within the last hour, you can use your smith'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 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. The defender also perishes one hour after you die but before doing so does its best to conserve and protect your dead body.

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 magical weapon 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 proficiency bonus. 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 1d8 + your Intelligence modifier.

Devil's Ride

Stunts

Burnout. You use the power of the engine and braking force to cause the rear wheel to spin, heating the rear tire and producing smoke. The smoke covers a 15 feet area around you, heavily obscuring the area. The smoke lasts until the end of your next turn.

Flaming Wheelie. You accelerate rapidly in a low gear, lifting the front of your vehicle of the ground. You can move up to 30 feet in a 5 foot wide line, without provoking attacks of opportunity or using your movement, leaving a line of roaring flames that scorches creatures. Each creature in that area must make a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC, taking 3d8 fire damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one.

The fire ignites any flammable objects in the area that aren't being worn or carried.

Combat Drift. As a part of your movement, you can start drifting. Until the start of your next turn, creatures have disadvantage on ranged attacks made against you or the Devil's Ride while your or the devils ride's speed is not 0. The Devil's Ride isn't affected by difficult terrain and cannot be restrained or grappled until the start of your next turn.
