The sidebar in the pdf at least only listed those worlds where it made sense to have artificers in it. Mystara for example did have magitech in it more so than say Greyhawk.
Greyhawk is one world where I don't think its a great idea to add the class, Spelljammer, Planescape, Mystara yeah sure makes a bit of sense. Even Krynn and the Gnomes (as long as it had a reason to fail).
I'm not a 100% purist as long as it makes sense for that world. Barbarians in Darksun sure (at least non magical ones), artificers erm no.
I mean, I'd argue Greyhawk, the setting with multiple crashed alien spaceships and where one of the gods is basically an artificer, is a perfect setting for it
Here's a question:
Why does Arcane Weapon work on Martial Weapons when the character doesn't gain any martial weapon proficiencies?
Maybe this spell is going to be available to other classes when released?
This. Plus Racial Weapon Proficiencies, Multiclassing, or the Weapon Master feat.That raises an interesting point though: the spell description only requires the caster to be holding the weapon when the spell is cast. So, hypothetically, they could cast the spell on the fighter's weapon and give it back to them. It's a concentration spell, so it might not be too overpowered read like that.
