Artificer Specialist: Integrated Weaponsmith
Those who are Integrated Weaponsmiths go against the order of things set by standard tinkers and artificers. While most make their creations into separate pieces of technology, these specialists make their creations part of them, enhancing their bodies and turning themselves into a walking armory.
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.
Integrated Weaponsmith Spells
Starting at 3rd level, you always have certain spells prepared after you reach particular levels in this class, as shown in the Integrated Weaponsmith Spells table. These spells count as artificer spells for you, but they don’t count against the number of artificer spells you prepare.

Knowledge of Arms
When you reach 3rd level, your skill with your integrated equipment grows. You gain proficiency with any integrated parts.
Cybernetic Body
At 3rd level, your body itself becomes the embodiment of a living bio-mechanical weapon.
• You can attach two weapons to your body and can use your Intelligence modifier, instead of Strength or Dexterity modifier, for the attack and damage rolls. This weapon is attached to your body and does not take up the use of your hands.
• You can attach two pieces armor (this includes shields) to your body, this hides the armor completely under your "skin". If the armor normally has a Strength requirement you can ignore that, as well as any disadvantage on stealth checks the armor normally causes.
• You can infuse these objects as if they were nonmagical weapons not part of your body. You also gain one more infusion known and active.
You can change your attached objects whenever you finish a short or long rest, provided you have smith's tools in hand. When you do this any infusions on your attached objects is removed until you reapply them.
