As far as the engineering expertise thing goes, I think capping out at a d12 expertise die is a perfectly reasonable ceiling; A5E is intended to be a bit more swingy than O5E, which is why a lot of things that were initially static bonuses are now dice instead. You're still rolling 1d20+1d12+4+INT mod at that point. That's going to give you an excellent chance of success for most reasonable DCs (and even some unreasonable ones).Regarding the tool set proficiency - tool sets have a bit more impact than musical instruments or gaming sets, so I felt it was appropriate to give out some more, but not everything; the A5E artificer is a different enough beast from the O5E one where I didn't feel comfortable handing out every tool set in the game like that.</blockquote>
