First Post
A lot of people felt that the Artificer being a wizard tradition didn't really work properly, I agree. I've seen a lot of Artificer classes but I feel like they didn't capture the Fantasy of an artificer, many made archtypes focusing on what the Artificer could do instead of what they could become.
My Artificer heavily skews into the Paragon levels for it's total strength.
Points to note: The spell progression is like a wizard until level 10, the Artificer does not learn level 6+ spells, instead they get a sort of "overcharge" in how many spell slots they have, to frankly worrying levels, but I think that's balanced.
The Dungeoneer archtype is the fantasy of a rough and tumble adventurer who delves into crypts and caves using wands and adventure items to get through perilous traps and monsters. While the Scientist archtype is a more traditional Wizardly kind of Artificer, focusing on the casting of spells and creation of magic items.

spell save is intelligence
Artificer can’t cast without infusing, except for cantrips.
The Artificer can only have a maximum of ((Artificer level) + 3) spell slots infused at any one time. You can have as many cantrips infused as you want. If they infuse more than their limit the oldest infused potion becomes an ordinary bottle of water, the oldest infused scroll crumbles into dust, a weapon or armor simply loses the infusion, the equipment is otherwise unaffected.
Level 1: Infuse Potions and Scrolls: The Artificer can spend 10 minutes during a short rest and expend a spell slot to infuse a potion or a spell scroll with a spell they know. The Artificer can only infuse 3 per short rest, or up to their maximum infusions during a long rest, and any infused spell dissipates at the completion of the next long rest.
The potion functions like the spell when consumed, with the origin being you. You do not take damage from a spell you activate by consuming. If the potion is thrown as a grenade, when it explodes the spell functions as if you had cast it from that square. If you throw a single target spell at a creature they must succeed on a dexterity save VS your Spell Save DC. Any spell that lasts longer than 1 round ends at the end of your next turn.
Any spell cast from a scroll functions no differently from casting with a spell slot normally.
Refer to page 200 of the Dungeon Master’s Guide for the rules of spell scrolls.
Level 1: Infuse Weapons and Armor: The Artificer can spend 1 minute and expend a spell slot to infuse a weapon, piece of armor, or a single ammunition with a spell they know. The infused equipment remains infused until it is unleashed, or until your next long rest.
When an infused piece of armor is hit by a successful attack it unleashes the spell on the creature who attacked, or the direction of the triggering attacker with the origin being the wearer of the armor, as appropriate. Armor that is not being worn will not unleash the spell when struck.
When making an attack with an infused weapon, treat it as a normal attack. If the attack successfully hits a creature, the spell is cast centered on your target or targeting only the creature hit by the weapon, as appropriate. Spells requiring spell attacks automatically hit, since the weapon has already struck the target. Line and cone spells are cast in the direction of the attack.
Level 2: Create Magic Item: the Artificer can spend time creating a magic item. The time and cost goes up by rarity, the cost being an approximation of the materials required. At higher levels you can craft rarer magic items. The time spent creating the item does not have to be consecutive, but you cannot spend more than 1 week between work or the incomplete item will lose all progress. Consult the Dungeon Master's Guide page 284 for rules and advice on creating custom magic items.
The Dungeon Master may decide that you need a schematic to create a magic item. A schematic is 1 point rarer than the item. In this case you can create a schematic using the gold and time cost of the schematic, but can do so with the level minimum of the resulting item. This represents the time and gold you spend experimenting and researching materials. For Legendary items, which do not have schematics, you must find a Master Wizard or Artificer of at least 15th Level to assist you in the schematic creation before you can create the Legendary item. Another party member who is a 15th Level Wizard or Artificer can work in the place of an NPC Master.
Level 2: Infuse Wands: The Artificer can spend time infusing a wand with 7 charges of a spell that the Artificer knows. The level of the spell you are infusing into the Wand corresponds to the rarity of the wand on the Create Magic Item table for purposes of time spent infusing.
A level 1 spell is Common, level 2 is Uncommon, level 3 is Rare, level 4 is Very Rare, level 5 is Legendary. You do not need a schematic to infuse a wand, and it does not cost any money.
When the wand is used you use as many charges as the level of the spell, and can choose to use more charges to cast the spell at a higher level, up to the maximum you can cast. A wand recharges back up to 7 at dawn. You can have up to your Intelligence modifier in wands infused at one time, if you infuse a new wand over your limit then the oldest infused wand crumbles into dust.
Level 3: At 3rd level you choose an Artificer archetype, this archetype grants features at levels 3 6 10 14. You can choose from the Dungeoneer or the Scientist.
Level 5: Infuse Personal Arms: When you reach 5th level you can spend 8 hours infusing one of the following:
Infuse shield: You infuse a small animated shield that hovers around you. It grants you +1 AC, and you can use your reaction to give an adjacent creature +1 AC when they are hit by an attack.
Infuse sword: You infuse an animated sword that hovers around you. You can make a melee attack with it as a bonus action, the attack roll for this weapon is your Intelligence Modifier + your Proficiency, the damage roll is 1d8 + Intelligence modifier. This weapon cannot be silvered, made of cold iron, adamantine, or any other such special material.
Prerequisite dungeoneer: Scribe Intel: You infuse a special quill that will write anything you tell it to write. As an action you can make the quill write for up to 10 minutes, for every minute you allow it to write it will write one note about your choice of the area in a 1 mile radius, a building within 100 feet, a person within 50 feet, or an object within 5 feet. You can choose what kind of information the scribe writes such as physical layout of a building, Armor Class of a creature, or history of an object. If you choose to write about the creature you and they make an opposed Charisma check and on their success any number of the points written could be false, but you do not know if they succeeded.
Prerequisite scholar: Infuse Arcane Focus: You infuse an animated arcane focus of your choice that hovers around you. You can cast any cantrip you know as a bonus action from the focus.
Only you can use your infused arms, they will cease to function if given to someone else. If you spend 8 hours infusing another the old one ceases to function. If you are somehow separated from your infused arms, you can spend an action to teleport it to your side if it is on the same plane of existence.
Level 7: Artificer’s Trick: at 7th level you learn one of the following Artificer’s Trick and can use it once per short or long rest. At level 12 you learn a second Trick and can use your tricks twice per rest, and at level 17 you learn a third Trick and can use your tricks three times per rest.
Level 11: Explosive Ingredients: Every spell you infuse that has an area of effect has it’s radius increased by 5ft. For line and cone shapes the maximum distance is extended instead. This increases to 10ft at level 15.
Level 15: Infuse Clockwork Familiar: When you get this feature you can spend 8 hours constructing a familiar. When you build your Clockwork Familiar for the first time you choose a creature with the Beast keyword of CR 5 or lower as the form of your Clockwork Familiar. This is a permanent decision and will be the form of your familiar every time you infuse a Clockwork Familiar from then on. Once per short or long rest you can use your bonus action to throw out a small cube that your Clockwork Familiar folds out of. Your clockwork familiar remains for 1 minute or until your concentration is broken. You can also dismiss it as a bonus action. The Clockwork Familiar is a tiny creature regardless of the size of the creature chosen for it’s form, and it takes it’s turn on your initiative and acts immediately after you. You control it’s actions unless you are unconscious or similarly unable to act, in which case it automatically uses the Dodge action. The Clockwork Familiar uses your Int+Prof for it’s attack rolls, and has a bonus to it’s saving throws equal to your Intelligence modifier. It’s Hit Points are equal to half of the Hit Points in the stat block of the animal you chose for its form, or half your total Hit Points, whichever is higher. If the Clockwork Familiar hits 0 HP it falls apart, in which case you must spend 8 hours constructing another.
Level 18: Master crafter: you gain expertise in all tools
Level 20: The Artificer can now repair any destroyed magic item as long as it has not been incinerated or was an artifact destroyed in it’s unique way. The Artificer spends 24 hours straight infusing the item, and at the end of the 24 hours the item will be as good as new and with full charges if that applies. The Artificer cannot rest or lose concentration during this time or the repair fails and they need to start again. This ability can also be used to simply refill the charges of an emptied magic item, refilling charges takes only 8 hours.
[h=3]DUNGEONEER[/h]Level 3: Bonus Proficiencies: When you choose the Dungeoneer archetype you become proficient in the Rapier, Scimitar, Shortsword, Whip, Blowgun, Hand Crossbow, and Longbow
Level 3: Swift Infusion: When the Dungeoneer archetype is chosen at level 3 the Artificer can use infuse weapons, armor, and ammunition as a bonus action. The infusion will only hold the spell until the start of your next turn if infused like this.
Level 3: Artificer's Duplicate: The Dungeoneer can also duplicate any adventuring gear (found on page 150 of the Player’s Handbook) as an action by conjuring the materials to craft a copy, such as a bag of caltrops or a vial of poison or acid. This duplicate lasts for 1 minute or until it is used. Any creature can use these duplicates, and they can use all the duplicates at once or split them up into separate actions . If the artificer has nothing to duplicate they can create a ghostly bottle of artificer’s fire that deals 1d6 damage instead of 1d4. You cannot duplicate this alchemist’s fire, or any item you have infused. The amount of duplicates the artificer can create increases to 3 at level 8, 4 at level 12, and 5 at level 16
Level 6: Dungeoneer’s Surprise: The Dungeoneer can now infuse a small, fragile trinket with a spell as an action. The trinket takes 1 minute and 5 gold to craft, the gold being the cost of materials, and lasts for 1 day. When the Dungeoneer infuses the spell into the trinket they determine an amount of time that causes the spell to be released from the trinket. The spell will release automatically when the trinket is broken. The Dungeoneer can infuse like this a number of times equal to their Intelligence modifier per long rest.
Level 10: Battle Magic: When you use your action to activate an infused spell or you cast a cantrip, you can make a weapon attack as a bonus action.
Level 14: The Infusion Incident: As an action the Dungeoneer can unleash a storm of infusing energy to every inanimate object larger than 3ft cubed and less than 30ft cubed within 60ft of them. The objects come to life for 1 minute and will perform any task the Dungeoneer asks them to, such as attacking an enemy or breaking down a wall.
The object’s initiative order is directly after yours. The objects have a speed of 15ft, have an AC of 10, and use your Proficiency for their saves. The items use your intelligence modifier + your proficiency for the attack roll, the damage roll varies depending on the object’s material and size but always uses your intelligence mod on the damage. The Dungeoneer can only use this ability once per long rest.
[h=3]SCIENTIST[/h]
Level 3: Mimic Spell: When you pick the Scientist archetype at level 3 you gain the Mimic Spell ability, you can cast any spell from any spell list as long as the level of the spell is equal to or lower than ½ your Artificer level rounded up. The Scientist can also infuse with the spells they mimic, but the wands will not recharge and have a maximum of 5 charges.
To mimic a spell you must consume a number of spell slots, all of the same level. Each slot you consume increases the spell level you are casting by 1, from the slot level you started with.
For example to cast a level 6 spell you could consume two level 5 slots, or three level 4 slots. To cast a level 9 spell you could consume four level 5 slots, or five level 4 slots.
Level 6: Metamagic: At 6th level, you gain the ability to infuse your spells to cast them differently. You gain two Metamagic options of your choice from the Sorcerer class list. You also gain 3 sorcery points to use these metamagic options, and you can 1 extra point every two Artificer levels. You gain another one at 11th and 18th level. You can use only one Metamagic option on a spell when you cast it, unless otherwise noted.
Level 10: Secret Recipe: The Scientist is now a master of infusing potent spells. You add your proficiency to the damage or healing roll of any infused spell effect.
Level 14: Combine Spell: The Scientist can infuse the power of a spell into another, effectively combining two scrolls or two potions. This takes 2 actions, one to combine the spells into one cast, and then one to cast the combined spell. The Scientist cannot combine a mimic’d spell. Both spell effects activate at once and targets and effects combined are completely determined by the DM and the circumstances, though the effects should lean towards as you intended when you combined them. (Refer to page 206 of the Player’s Handbook for rules on combined and overlapping spell effects)

spell save is intelligence
Artificer can’t cast without infusing, except for cantrips.
The Artificer can only have a maximum of ((Artificer level) + 3) spell slots infused at any one time. You can have as many cantrips infused as you want. If they infuse more than their limit the oldest infused potion becomes an ordinary bottle of water, the oldest infused scroll crumbles into dust, a weapon or armor simply loses the infusion, the equipment is otherwise unaffected.

Refer to page 200 of the Dungeon Master’s Guide for the rules of spell scrolls.
Level 1: Infuse Weapons and Armor: The Artificer can spend 1 minute and expend a spell slot to infuse a weapon, piece of armor, or a single ammunition with a spell they know. The infused equipment remains infused until it is unleashed, or until your next long rest.
When an infused piece of armor is hit by a successful attack it unleashes the spell on the creature who attacked, or the direction of the triggering attacker with the origin being the wearer of the armor, as appropriate. Armor that is not being worn will not unleash the spell when struck.

This represents the time and gold you spend experimenting and researching materials. For Legendary items, which do not have schematics, you must find a Master Wizard or Artificer of at least 15th Level to assist you in the schematic creation before you can create the Legendary item.

You control it’s actions unless you are unconscious or similarly unable to act, in which case it automatically uses the Dodge action. The Clockwork Familiar uses your Int+Prof for it’s attack rolls, and has a bonus to it’s saving throws equal to your Intelligence modifier. It’s Hit Points are equal to half of the Hit Points in the stat block of the animal you chose for its form, or half your total Hit Points, whichever is higher. If the Clockwork Familiar hits 0 HP it falls apart, in which case you must spend 8 hours constructing another.
Level 18: Master crafter: you gain expertise in all tools
Level 20: The Artificer can now repair any destroyed magic item as long as it has not been incinerated or was an artifact destroyed in it’s unique way. The Artificer spends 24 hours straight infusing the item, and at the end of the 24 hours the item will be as good as new and with full charges if that applies. The Artificer cannot rest or lose concentration during this time or the repair fails and they need to start again. This ability can also be used to simply refill the charges of an emptied magic item, refilling charges takes only 8 hours.
[h=3]DUNGEONEER[/h]Level 3: Bonus Proficiencies: When you choose the Dungeoneer archetype you become proficient in the Rapier, Scimitar, Shortsword, Whip, Blowgun, Hand Crossbow, and Longbow
Level 3: Swift Infusion: When the Dungeoneer archetype is chosen at level 3 the Artificer can use infuse weapons, armor, and ammunition as a bonus action. The infusion will only hold the spell until the start of your next turn if infused like this.
Level 3: Artificer's Duplicate: The Dungeoneer can also duplicate any adventuring gear (found on page 150 of the Player’s Handbook) as an action by conjuring the materials to craft a copy, such as a bag of caltrops or a vial of poison or acid. This duplicate lasts for 1 minute or until it is used. Any creature can use these duplicates, and they can use all the duplicates at once or split them up into separate actions . If the artificer has nothing to duplicate they can create a ghostly bottle of artificer’s fire that deals 1d6 damage instead of 1d4. You cannot duplicate this alchemist’s fire, or any item you have infused. The amount of duplicates the artificer can create increases to 3 at level 8, 4 at level 12, and 5 at level 16
Level 6: Dungeoneer’s Surprise: The Dungeoneer can now infuse a small, fragile trinket with a spell as an action. The trinket takes 1 minute and 5 gold to craft, the gold being the cost of materials, and lasts for 1 day. When the Dungeoneer infuses the spell into the trinket they determine an amount of time that causes the spell to be released from the trinket. The spell will release automatically when the trinket is broken. The Dungeoneer can infuse like this a number of times equal to their Intelligence modifier per long rest.
Level 10: Battle Magic: When you use your action to activate an infused spell or you cast a cantrip, you can make a weapon attack as a bonus action.
Level 14: The Infusion Incident: As an action the Dungeoneer can unleash a storm of infusing energy to every inanimate object larger than 3ft cubed and less than 30ft cubed within 60ft of them. The objects come to life for 1 minute and will perform any task the Dungeoneer asks them to, such as attacking an enemy or breaking down a wall.
The object’s initiative order is directly after yours. The objects have a speed of 15ft, have an AC of 10, and use your Proficiency for their saves. The items use your intelligence modifier + your proficiency for the attack roll, the damage roll varies depending on the object’s material and size but always uses your intelligence mod on the damage. The Dungeoneer can only use this ability once per long rest.
| Object | Damage |
| Wood | 1d4 |
| Stone | 1d6 |
| Metal | 1d8 |
| Magical item | 1d10 |
| If larger than 10ft | +2 damage |
| If larger than 20ft | +5 damage |
| If on fire, discharging electricity, etc | all damage is the associated element |
[h=3]SCIENTIST[/h]
Level 3: Mimic Spell: When you pick the Scientist archetype at level 3 you gain the Mimic Spell ability, you can cast any spell from any spell list as long as the level of the spell is equal to or lower than ½ your Artificer level rounded up. The Scientist can also infuse with the spells they mimic, but the wands will not recharge and have a maximum of 5 charges.
To mimic a spell you must consume a number of spell slots, all of the same level. Each slot you consume increases the spell level you are casting by 1, from the slot level you started with.
For example to cast a level 6 spell you could consume two level 5 slots, or three level 4 slots. To cast a level 9 spell you could consume four level 5 slots, or five level 4 slots.
Level 6: Metamagic: At 6th level, you gain the ability to infuse your spells to cast them differently. You gain two Metamagic options of your choice from the Sorcerer class list. You also gain 3 sorcery points to use these metamagic options, and you can 1 extra point every two Artificer levels. You gain another one at 11th and 18th level. You can use only one Metamagic option on a spell when you cast it, unless otherwise noted.
Level 10: Secret Recipe: The Scientist is now a master of infusing potent spells. You add your proficiency to the damage or healing roll of any infused spell effect.
Level 14: Combine Spell: The Scientist can infuse the power of a spell into another, effectively combining two scrolls or two potions. This takes 2 actions, one to combine the spells into one cast, and then one to cast the combined spell. The Scientist cannot combine a mimic’d spell. Both spell effects activate at once and targets and effects combined are completely determined by the DM and the circumstances, though the effects should lean towards as you intended when you combined them. (Refer to page 206 of the Player’s Handbook for rules on combined and overlapping spell effects)
