Artificer
Artificer
A graying halfling hunched over his workbench, carefully adjusting the clockwork mechanism that would power his creation. Before him laid an automaton of intricate iron gears within a suit of plate armor, built to resemble a large halfling. As the tiny inventor affixed his signature mithril mustache to the face plate, a jolt of electric-blue magic flashed from the automaton. With a sharp motion, the Steel Defender sat upright and awaited the first command of its creator.
The goblin delicately made his way down the tunnel that he had booby-trapped with vials
of noxious fumes and acids. This was the third time this year his clan had moved burrows to avoid being raided by adventuring parties, and the inventive goblin was determined to protect the newest home burrow. He was confident that this time he would stop the adventurers that always seemed to find their way to his home.
A young human woman, wearing a leather apron over her fine clothes, flexed the steel gauntlet she had just enchanted. As she closed her fist the gauntlet let forth a blinding arc of lavender lightning, destroying the table on the opposite side of the room. As the dust settled, she affixed the gauntlet to her now complete suit of Arcane Armor. When she revealed this, her latest creation, to her father, he would have no choice but to finally show her his approval.
Relentless in their pursuit of innovation, artificers are defined by their insatiable curiosity and willingness to push the limits of arcane invention, even at great risk to themselves. For most artificers, they stake their personal value on the fruits of their experimentation, and they see mastering the basics of their chosen craft as the first step toward true greatness.
Deep down, the goal of every artificer is the discovery of a new groundbreaking invention, magical or otherwise. Some artificers are engineers, students of science and warfare, who bring their considerable intellect to bear to construct deadly weapons augmented with magic. Others view themselves as artists, combining the rigid formulas of arcane magic with the artisanal touch of their own specialized tools and spells.
Almost every artificer has a rival, most often another artificer who they seek to outdo at every turn. These intense rivalries are the sole motivation of some artificers, and outdoing their rival is more valuable than any fame or riches they could gain from their discoveries. Many are willing to risk everything they have to achieve a new breakthrough before their rival.
By the same token, artificers with similar philosophies and aims often band together in loose artisan's guilds. They share insights and discoveries, hoping to keep ahead of rival guilds by pooling resources and working as a team. However, even when working together, most artificers are protective of any insights they think could lead to a groundbreaking discovery.

Infusions
1st Level Artificer Feature
You have learned to imbue objects with your signature brand of magic in order to produce wondrous items. You learn two Infusions of your choice from the list at the end of this class. The Infusions Known column of the Artificer table shows when you learn more Infusions of your choice.
At the end of a Long rest, as long as you have Tinker's Tools, you can replace one Infusion you know with another Infusion of your choice, as long as you meet all of its Prerequisites.
At the end of a Long Rest, you can use your Tinker's Tools to imbue an Infusion you know into an object. To do so, you must be able to touch the object with your Tools.
If the Infusion requires attunement, you can attune to the object the instant you Infuse it, or you can forgo attunement so another creature can attune to it. To attune to the Infused item later, you must follow the normal attunement process.
The Infusion remains in an item indefinitely. If you die, the Infusion vanishes after a number of days have passed equal to your Intelligence Modifier. Infusions vanish immediately if you give up your knowledge of one to learn another, or imbue the Infusion into another object.
You can Infuse multiple objects at the end of each Long Rest, up to one for each Infusion you know. Each Infusion can be in only one object at a time, and no object can bear more than one Infusion. If you transfer an Infusion to a new object, any previous instance of that Infusion immediately ends.

Alchemy is a delicate art, tip the ratio of ingredients too far out of line and the effects could be disastrous. Alchemists are experts at combining exotic reagents to produce a variety of materials and effects. From healing droughts that can heal
a wound in moments, to sticky goo that explodes when it comes in contact with flame. With the right reagents and a bit of luck, Alchemists use their wondrous Elixirs to give
life to their allies and leech it away from their foes.

If you die, the Homunculus turns to ash after a number of minutes equal to your Artificer Level.

Automatons
1st Level Alchemist Feature
You learned to craft unique mechanical servants known as Automatons. At the end of each Long Rest, you can use your Smith's Tools to craft a Small Automaton in an unoccupied space within 5ft of you.
Automatons are magical constructs with an AC of 12 + your Intelligence Modifier, and a number of Hit Points equal to your Artificer Level + your Intelligence Modifier. When an Automaton would make a Saving Throw, it treats all of its Ability Scores as if they were 10. If the Mending Spell is cast on an Automaton, it regains 2d6 Hit Points. The Automaton disintegrates into dust after it is reduced to 0 Hit Points or after 1 hour.
You can use an Action and expend a Spell Slot of 1st Level or higher to create another Automaton. You can only have one Automaton active at once, if you create a second one, then the previous one disintegrates to dust.
Your Automatons do nothing on their own. However, you can use a Bonus Action to Activate one of your Automatons that is within 60ft of you, as well as move it up to 25ft.

3rd Level Alchemist Feature
You have improved your craft. Whenever you create an Automaton, choose one of the Automaton models below that gives a bonus when you Activate the Automaton with your Automatons feature:

- Anchor Automaton. When Activated, the Automaton latches onto a target within 5ft of it, reducing the target's Speed by a number of feet equal to 5 x your Intelligence Modifier.
- Armor Automaton. When Activated, the Automaton attaches itself to a willing creature within 5ft of it. While attached, that creature's AC cannot be less than 13 + your Intelligence Modifier.
- Artisan Automaton. This Automaton is Proficient with one Set of Tools of your choice, and when Activated, it makes an Ability Check with its Tool Set, and adds your Intelligence Modifier to the Check.
- Assault. When Activated, the Automaton makes a Melee Spell Attack against a creature within 5ft of it. On hit, it deals Bludgeoning Damage equal to 1d6 + your Intelligence Modifier

Puppeteer
Though all artificers have their quirks, Puppeteers tend to be the strangest subset of arcane inventors. They dedicate their research and intellect towards mastery of manipulation and control of other creatures through the use of their Marionette Strings. Often found literally pulling the strings from behind the scenes, these strange artificers prefer to empower their allies rather than risk their own lives on the front lines.

Wandslinger
Wandslingers use their ingenuity and artistic minds to craft wondrous arcane weapons. What they lack in flexibility and subtlety, they make up for in overwhelming arcane firepower.

You have constructed for yourself a Wandslinger's signature weapon. At the end of a Long Rest, you can use Woodcarver's Tools to craft an Arcane Sidearm.

Many Wandslingers craft Sidearms that resemble delicate wands, ornate rods, or even eldritch cannons.
Your Arcane Sidearm is a Simple Weapon with the Ranged (120/300) Property, and you use your Intelligence, instead of your Dexterity, for its Attack and Damage Rolls. On hit, it deals Force Damage equal to 1d10 + your Intelligence Modifier. You can also use your Arcane Sidearm as an Artificer Spellcasting Focus.
You can only have one Arcane Sidearm at a time. Creating another Arcane Sidearm renders that magic of the first inert.
