Exceptions allow him to craft Potions, Magic Items, and qualify for +1 Existing Spellcasting PrCs using his pretend "caster level" with Infusions per the Magic of Eberron. you get 4 base Skill Points per level.Īn Artificer is not a Spellcaster and Infusions are not Spells. Knowledge(arcane9 & religion10) & Spellcraft11 go a long way into validating research for crafting new items as well. With the long casting times on several Infusions the Skill Concentration8 is extremely useful.

The first of which is seen here, you are dependent on Use Magic Device1, Trapfinding is based off Search2 & Disable3, to make full usage of your crafting theme you need several Crafting Skills, Arms4 & Armor5 both for starters, plus Alchemy6 if you want to make potions and such, plus Bow-making7 if you want to make ranged weapons. Every positive element it has is internally penalized in some fashion. The Artificer as you will soon learn is all about one step forward and two steps back. What I'm trying to get across here is, "crafting" is not something to base a Class on and don't be fooled into thinking the Artificer does it better than full spellcasters.īasic Features: Average BAB, d6 HD, one good Save, 4 Skill Points per Level. And on the other WBL is a PC empowerment, 3rd Edition (Like 4th and every MMO ever) expects you to have the gear you want. Also there is this thing called Wealth-By-Level and it has a dual edge to it, on one hand it disallows something like a 5th level Character having 500,000gp in gear because they would be too powerful.

Crafting has no inherent rewards nor is access to it in some way unique any Spellcasting Class can craft Magical Items and it's possible to do so for free (hello sacrifice). Some stuff to remember is that you're supposed to have and buy any Magic Item you want. Eberron it's self needed a Crafting oriented Class as part of it's Steampunk flavor and it must have half way through campaign design this background information of a Class was bumped to being PC material and given Infusions to expand on Player Options.
In truth, I think the Class was initally designed for NPCs. while the Monk embodies the rewards of research, the Artificer is the exact opposite. The Artificer is Tier 0, best of the best, omfg powerful, it's like a Wizard but stronger! How did this end up joining the ranks of the Arcane Duelist or the Monk? Well the Artificer is a heavily penalize PC that just doesn't compare to other Classes. Today's topic goes back to an optimized classic the Artificer.
Sticking to the trope it's time to go back to before the beginning to add backstory and pretend character depth.
