[QUOTE="Leatherhead, post: 6606652, member: 53176"] You need to go back and look at the artificer infusion lists. They are [I]extremely[/I] limited. The full wizard package is only required for classes that get oodles of spells, and then plan on getting all the spells. Even sorcerers, who use most of the wizards spell list, don't use all the spells thus and don't borrow their mechanics. The Artificer infusion list is: I can mess around with magic items I can make a temporary magic item on the spot ( mostly just +x enhancement, elemental flavoring, or granting the equivalent of advantage) I can mess around with constructs (replaced by summoning in 4e) And they get some healing/temp hp stuff in 4e. Then it's padded out with some things like the "wall" spells and what amounts to the [I]enhance ability[/I] spell in 5e. Yeah you could do most of that with a wizard, you could also do all of that with a druid, or a ranger. But nobody is clamoring for the Rangificer despite it being something you could do tomorrow.
