[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 8997072, member: 6704184"] Man. Artificer. Love ‘em, but frankly half the infusions are painfully boring. IMO they should be more significant, even the low level ones. But! I still love the class. I have played the same Artificer in 3 games that fell apart (I’m cursed), as well as a high level Artificer in a couple one-shots, and my wife runs a level 16 artificer, and it’s been a blast. Kid started as a Star Wars Saga Edition force sensitive scoundrel with outlaw tech talents, mechanics, and computers, and a mechanical droidified (miniaturized astromech droid brain and data port thingie) arm. She lived in a junkyard, and got food and supplies by chopping stolen vehicles and devices, before meeting the other PCs, and she was 14 years old. She was, in a word, delightfully unhinged. Her only friends were droids, and a runaway noble turned privateer who was also a bit unhinged, played by my wife. It was really funny for me when, even after failing to flirt with a waiter the session before because she’s a kid, no one gave any thought to taking her on a mission to raid a slave ship and kill the slavers, free thier captives, and steal their boat, until I reminded the player of the falucian shaman who had started to take her under his wing. The faces. Anyway, that campaign ended due to a friend falling out, and when my wife started a curse of Strahd campaign I decided to port Kid over to 5e, as an Artillerist Artificer. Coming up with ways to describe your spells as being devices and such is a lot of fun even at low levels, but it’s definitely a class that comes alive at level 3. I’ve built her as a forge adept with an arm-blade (Morningstar) that is her special forge adept weapon, to represent the falucian weapon tradition, armor of tools (old UA), wand of detect magic, and spell ring bc like…these low level infusions. I also built her as a forge adept/kensei monk as a prospective future version where she has matured in magic/force adept, but obv that’s a future version of anything. That campaign hasn’t started yet, but will come full circle as it’s a Space Fantasy game heavily inspired by Star Wars (and Trek, and 90’s sci-fantasy cartoons, etc. My later level artificer is a level 14 Forest Gnome whose items are a little more weird and naturey. He’s an Artillerist, whose arcane firearm is a “crossbow”, and Eldritch cannon is a little spriggan buddy made of twigs and moss. He’s fun. My wife’s gnome Artificer is an unhinged monster with far too many pets. It’s fun to DM for. [/QUOTE]
