[QUOTE="Cap'n Kobold, post: 7772768, member: 6802951"] I can see a couple of ways in which the Artificer could end up having a gunsmith-like class without having to put in in the Eberron rules directly. (Where I agree; it wouldn't fit.) Assuming that the new version is similar enough to the UA to have one. The UA Gunsmith Artificer had no place in Eberron, but it took very little work to adjust to a dedicated Wand or Staff wielder, which do have already-established places in Eberron. (Mostly just changing the damage type and removing the ammo pouch.) A Specialist Wandslinger subclass would fit well, and a sidebar mentioning how to adjust to different settings such as by converting the wands to a firearm, or introducing the DDO-style Runearm seems possible. Or they could introduce the Artificer in the Eberron book, with some Eberron-aligned and some setting-neutral subclasses like the Alchemist and a construct master perhaps. Then also include the Artificer and setting neutral subtypes in a new book of crunch like Xanathar's, alongside subclasses like the gunsmith and others not suitable for Eberron. Just because the Artificer is appearing in the Eberron sourcebook doesn't mean that it won't be appearing elsewhere as well. [/QUOTE]
