I was thinking specifically the Eberron artwork not artificers in general. In Calimshan you have both clockwork creations but also just pure magical item crafters with no tech like influences. Moonshae or Rahaman will use carved staffs, stone, earth or wooden golems, charms and trinkets.
Technically anyone can craft it at 1st level with 200 gold and 10 days of downtime, as long as they have Tinker Tool proficiency (automatic for Artificer) and Arcana proficiency (which should be an automatic pick for any Artificer)
No, they don’t. Try looking at non-Western cultures.
I love Pipes of Haunting at 6th level, it's a staple of Artificer Tank builds. I only asked to see if it was still on the 6th level list, or got swept under the higher level "any wondrous item" umbrella.
Personally, as a DM I would tell them to use woodcarver's tools because that makes more thematic sense rules be dammed.
Yup, these spells haven’t been updated to the 2024 rules yet, but they remain technically part of the game and technically artificer spells.
Arguable, since those books are still legal.
Which is great for weapon using artillerists and battlesmiths.
Battle Smiths generally don't want to use it past 2rd level. They already get to make weapon attack with their caster stat, and True Strike is worse than making two attacks. The only use case is if you really need to deal Radiant damage.
D&DBeyond haven't brought the spells from Xanathar's to the new Artificer yet while they did so for the rest of the spells for that class. Give it a bit.
