[QUOTE="AtomicPope, post: 8383750, member: 64790"] I ran a campaign, that was derailed by COVID, and it was 3 players all playing Artificers. The neat part was they all chose a different Subclass, and none where "competing" with other classes. One thing I noticed about Artificers is they lack Cantrips. Lots of these half casters need more Cantrips to flesh out their niche because they don't have the regular spells and often they don't have the skills. I gave each of them one thematic combat Cantrip (Artillerist got Firebolt, Alchemist got Acid Splash, and Battlesmith got Booming Blade). Later on we added one non-combat utility cantrip. It may not seem like much but in reality it means a LOT. Each Subclass needs to fill that niche quickly and Cantrips helped. It freed up their selections for better customization. I got the idea from some of the new Warlock and Sorcerer Subclasses where they were eager to add a Cantrip or two ensuring the theme was embedded in the Subclass. [/QUOTE]
