Artificer UA has been released!

Wait...can the Alchemical Homunculus give all PCs advantage on all out of combat skill checks, and 12+Int temporary hitpoints prior to any combat, as often as it wants at no cost?

Looks like you get 3 Salves Per Day. Defender Turrent looks like it can go forever.

Any PC can give another Advantage outside of combat.

I really, really, really don't like that they're trying to fit mechanical engineering into a spellcasting chassis. The whole "The Magic of Artifice" text-box makes my skin crawl:

You got it mistaken. It's magical mechanical engineering.

Anyway I like the class.

I'm amused at the Artificers in Other Worlds part, it even brings up Mystara and Sigil! Along with the very obvious Izzet League having many Artificers in Ravnica.

That is a robust section: makes me suspicious.

What's amusing about it?

I've posted this on Facebook, but I'll just copy it here!

I'm pretty positive on it. I miss the gunsmith and incremental extra attunements, and I question adding their version of Extra Attack, but overall I like it.

The pets are fine, not great, but fine. They give a bit of the original artificer feel, but I would love the ability to craft any type of homunculus as before.

Queue the thread speculating about what campaign setting is next...

Also setting purists who insist that if a class never existed in the last edition a campaign setting was published in, it's not part of that campaign setting.

It only grants 1 single PC advantage (only on ability checks) up to Int mod times within the next hour OR 2d6 temp hit points only 3/day. So it’s pretty narrowly defined.

Hah, yeah. I can totally see both of those things happening.
