Which artificer archetype will make it out of this playtest document?!?

i'm having a hard time understanding how the humachinist's humachines work...just...generally. i can't really make heads or tails of how you get the benefits of a humachine. i guess in that sense, the vitalizer is better because i can actually understand how all its features work?

I think the rulesomancers who have creatified this packet have invented too many words and it makes it hard to understand.

I like the plantfolk heritage, and I could see using it in my games. I'm uneasy about the AC bonus in the hands of an optimising player, but it gives a strong reason to choose it.

My preference for the spells would be that they not name custom setting planes so that I can use them in other settings, such my planescape games.

I'd also echo W'rkncacnter's commentary that I don't really understand the Humanist.

i'm honestly fine with the AC boost mainly because they have fire vulnerability. like at that point dear god you need it.

I liked the spells particularly.

Isn't Skyward a better fit for 1st level instead of 2nd? The damage is low and, if I understand correctly, the target doesn't even loose actions or anything. If it falls prone, he loses half his move, but that is about it. He still got his full turn.

Do the plantfolk need the same level of food and water? This is important in campaigns where survival skills in wild zones are more necessary, for example Dark Sun.
