The Many Ways of the Artificer

Eberron: Forge of the Artificer brings five new subclasses to life, specializing in armor, alchemy, artillery, smithing, and cartography. These subclasses are excellent for enhancing the party’s defenses and creating challenges for regular enemies.

Armorer (Artificer). Armorers are trained in Heavy armor and proficient with Smith’s Tools. This allows them to halve the crafting time for not only nonmagical but also magical armor. They can transform their armor into an arcane exoshell that bypasses Strength requirements. Additionally, this offers customizable capabilities during rests.

Alchemist (Artificer). Alchemists are skilled with Alchemist’s Supplies and the Herbalism Kit, allowing them to create potions in half the usual time. With an Experimental Elixir feature, which gives them two random elixirs after each Long Rest. This lets them add their Intelligence modifier to one healing or damage roll when casting spells.

Artillerist (Artificer). Artillerists are skilled in Martial Ranged weapons and Woodcarver’s Tools. They can craft magic Wands in half the usual time. With an Eldritch Cannon feature, which lets them create a Tiny cannon that serves as a mobile artillery unit.

Battle Smith (Artificer). Battle Smiths are skilled with martial weapons and Smith’s Tools. This allows them to craft nonmagical and magical weapons in half the time. They can use their Intelligence for attack and damage rolls with magic weapons. Additionally, they can also treat any weapon they’re proficient with as a Spellcasting Focus.

Cartographer (Artificer). Cartographers skillfully use Calligrapher’s Supplies and Cartographer’s Tools. This allows them to complete Spell Scrolls in half the usual time. In addition, they offer a unique feature known as the Adventurer’s Atlas. This feature essentially creates a series of interconnected magical maps.
