  • Armor Proficiencies: Light armor, medium armor, shields edit delete
  • Weapon Proficiencies: Simple weapons, hand crossbows, firearms, heavy crossbows edit delete
  • Tool Proficiencies: Thieves’ tools, tinker’s tools, one type of artisan’s tools of your choice. edit delete
  • Skill Proficiencies: Choose two from Arcana, History, Investigation, Medicine, Nature, Perception, and Sleight of Hand edit delete
  • Magical Tinkering: (Level 1) At 1st level, you learn how to invest a spark of magic in objects that would otherwise be mundane. To use this ability, you must have thieves’ tools, tinker’s tools, or other artisan’s tools in hand. You then touch a Tiny nonmagical object as an action and give it one of the magical properties of your choice below.

    The chosen property lasts indefinitely. As an action, you can touch the object and end the property early.

    You can give the magic of this feature to multiple objects, touching one object each time you use the feature, and a single object can bear only one of the properties at a time. The maximum number of objects you can affect with the feature at one time is equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of one object). If you try to exceed your maximum, the oldest property immediately ends, and then the new property applies. edit delete
    • (Level 1) The object sheds bright light in a 5-foot radius and dim light for an additional 5 feet. edit delete
    • (Level 1) 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. edit delete
    • (Level 1) 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. edit delete
    • (Level 1) 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. edit delete
  • Infuse Item: (Level 2) At 2nd level, you gain the ability to imbue mundane items with certain magical infusions. The magic items you create with this feature are effectively prototypes of permanent items. edit delete
    • Infusions Known: (Level 2) When you gain this feature, pick three 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 the artificer infusions you learned with a new one. edit delete
    • Infusing an Item: (Level 2) 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 yourself to it the instant you infuse the item, or you can forgo attunement so that someone else can attune to the item. If you decide to attune to the item later, you must do so using the normal process for attunement(see “Attunement” in the Dungeon Master’s Guide, page 136).

      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.If you try to exceed your maximum number of infusions, the oldest infusion immediately ends, and then the new infusion applies. edit delete
  • Artificer Specialist: (Level 3) At 3rd level, you choose the type of specialist you are: Alchemist, Archivist, Artillerist, or Battle Smith, each of which is detailed at the end of the class’s description. Your choice grants you features at 3rd level and again at 6th and 14th level. edit delete
  • Tool Expertise: (Level 3) Starting at 3rd level, your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses your proficiency with a tool. edit delete
  • Ability Score Improvement: (Level 4) When you reach 4th level you can gain a feat, increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two Ability Scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature. edit delete
    • (Level 8) When you reach 8th level, get another Ability Score Improvement. edit delete
    • (Level 12) When you reach 12th level, get another Ability Score Improvement. edit delete
    • (Level 16) When you reach 16th level, get another Ability Score Improvement. edit delete
    • (Level 19) When you reach 19th level, get another Ability Score Improvement. edit delete
  • Arcane Armament: (Level 5) Starting at 5th level, you can attack twice, rather than once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn, but one of the attacks must be made with a magic weapon, the magic of which you use to propel the attack. edit delete
  • The Right Cantrip for the Job: (Level 10) At 10th level, you gain the ability to make sure you have the right magical tool for a job. Whenever you finish a short or long rest,you can replace one of the artificer cantrips you know with another cantrip from the artificer spell list. edit delete
  • Spell-Storing Item: (Level 18) When you reach 18th level, you learn how to store a spell in an object for repeated use. Whenever you finish a long rest, you can touch one simple or martial weapon or an item that you can use as a spellcasting focus and store a spell in it,choosing one 1st-or 2nd-level spell from the artificer spell list that requires 1action to cast(you don’t need to have the spell prepared). With the object in hand,a creature can take an action to produce the spell’s effect from it, using your spellcasting ability modifier.

    The spell stays in the object until it has been used a number of times equal to twice your Intelligence modifier (minimum of twice) or until you use this feature again. edit delete
  • Soul of Artifice: (Level 20) At 20th level, your understanding of magic items is unmatched, allowing you to mingle your soul with items linked to you. You can attune to up to six magic items at once. In addition, you gain a +1 bonus to all saving throws per magic item you are currently attuned to. edit delete
  • Skills: Choose two from Arcana, History, Investigation, Medicine, Nature, Perception, and Sleight of Hand. edit delete
