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.<br>
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.<br>
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.<br>
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.<br>
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.<br>
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.<br>
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''<br>
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.<br>
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.<br>
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.<br>
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.<br>
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.<br>
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.
