Optional Features

You gain class features in the Player’s Handbook when you reach certain levels in your class. This section offers additional features that you can gain as an artificer.

Unlike the features in the Player’s Handbook, you don’t gain the feature here automatically.

Consulting with your DM, you decide whether to gain a feature in this section if you meet the level requirement noted in the feature’s description. These features can be selected separately from one another; you can use one, multiple, or none of them.

The extra damage increases to 1d6 when you reach 10th level in this class.

Doing so expends a dose from the vial. On a hit, the dose from the vial is injected to your target. The target is affected just as if it drank it from the vial.

Your attack automatically hits when you target a willing creature.

Potion Adept

10th level feature, which replaces the Magic Item Adept feature.

When you reach 10th level, you achieve a profound understanding of how to use and make potions:

• During a short or a long rest, you can touch a potion or an elixir and improve it, adding the following effect : When a creature drinks it, it gains a number of temporary hit points equal to your artificer's level + your intelligence modifier in addition to the other effects of the potion/elixir.

• You can drink a potion or an elixir as a bonus action.

Recharging Magic Item

11th level feature, which replaces the Spell Storing Item feature.

When you take a short rest, you can recharge a magic item. When you do so, the item regains charges as if 24 hours had passed. Once you have used this feature, you can't do it again until you finish a long rest.

Potion Savant

14th level feature, which replaces the Magic Item Savant feature. You must have taken the Potion Adept feature at 10th level to take this feature.

At 14th level, your skill with potions deepens more:

• During a short or a long rest, you can take 1 hour to create a potion from a spell scroll. You must have alchemist's supplies and an empty vial to do so. When you create a potion this way, the spell scroll you used is consumed.

When a creature drinks the potion, it gains the same effects as if it was targeted by the spell that was written on the scroll used to create the potion. If that spell should have a duration of 1 minute or longer, or if it would require concentration, it instead doesn't require concentration and lasts for exactly 1 minute.

Potion Master

18th level feature, which replaces the Magic Item Master feature. You must have taken the Potion Savant feature at 14th level to take this feature.

• When a consumable such as a potion, an elixir, a vial of acid or a vial of alchemist fire, or any other vial of liquid, requires you to make a damage roll or an healing roll, always consider you have rolled the highest value instead.

So if a potion makes you regain 2d4 hit points, you regains 8 hit points.

Soul of Alchemy

20th level feature, which replaces the Soul of Artifice feature. You must have taken the Potion Master feature at 18th level to take this feature.

At 20th level, you develop a mystical connection to your potions and elixirs:

• When you are reduced to 0 hit points but not killed outright, if you are under the effects of at least one potion or elixir, you can choose to be reduced to 1 hit point instead. If you do so, all the effects of one of the potions or elixirs that affected you (you choose which one) immediately end.

• When you drink a potion or an elixir, each creature within 10 feet also gains its effects.
