Craftsman

While most seasoned spellcasters will enchant a handful of magic items over the course of their careers, artisans belonging to the Guild of Arcane Maesters seek to become true masters of magic item creation. They rightly take seriously the forging of such powerful relics: each creation must be a masterwork in its own right to contain the potent magic woven into them. Despite laboring for months or even years to perfect their creations, seasoned maesters are always seen to be laden with dozens of magic items, attuned to a handful of rings, and carrying a wand of magic missiles, just in case.

Beginning at 7th level, your experience in creating magic items allows you to quickly bond with them. You can use your action to attune to a magic item, and you can end your attunement to an item as part of the same action. You can use this ability a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.

Starting at 10th level, you can spend 10 minutes to lay an enchantment on a nonmagical weapon, enchanting up to 6 nonmagical weapons during a short or long rest. For the next 8 hours, each enchanted weapon counts as magical for the purpose of overcoming damage resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.

By 14th level, you can break the connection that binds you to your magic items and repurpose that magic to protect yourself. As a reaction when a creature you can see targets you with an attack, or when you make a saving throw, you can end your attunement to one magic item. Until the start of your next turn, you gain a bonus to your Armor Class and saving throws equal to your Intelligence modifier. The total number of magic items you can attune to is reduced by 1 until you finish a short or long rest.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

By spending a short rest focusing on a magic item while wearing this armor, you can attune the item directly to the armor. You can use the magic item as though you were attuned to it while you are wearing the armor. You can attune up to two items to the armor, and can end an item's attunement to the armor by spending another short rest focused on the item.

The Armigers devote their skills to the art of armor smithing, with the firm belief that the right plate in the right place can make a warrior invincible.

Starting at 7th level, your imposing, shining armor makes you a clear target for your foes. When you roll initiative and aren't surprised, you can challenge any number of creatures within 60 feet of you that can see you to battle. Each affected creature must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your Masterwork save DC or have disadvantage on any attack roll that doesn't target you on the first round of combat. A creature with an Intelligence of 3 or less automatically succeeds on this saving throw.

Starting at 10th level, you can spend 10 minutes to reinforce a suit of armor, or you can reinforce up to 6 suits of armor during a short or long rest. This armor retains its reinforcement until the creature wearing it is hit, after which it is no longer fortified. Reinforced armor gains one of the following properties of your choice:

Starting at 14th level, as a bonus action, you can gain resistance to all damage until the end of your next turn. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

While you are wearing this armor, bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage that you take from nonmagical attacks is reduced by 5.

Blade and bow, axe and mace: these are the tools with which the Bladeworkers try to change the world. They believe that the right blade, in the right hand can make a warrior unstoppable.

Beginning at 7th level, you can use your knowledge of armament construction to disarm your foes and crush their armor. Once on each of your turns, when you take the Attack action, you can replace one of your attacks with one of the following special melee attacks.

Starting at 10th level, you can spend 10 minutes to fortify a weapon, or fortify up to 6 weapons during a short or long rest. This weapon retains its fortification until it hits a target, after which it is no longer fortified. A fortified weapon gains one of the following properties of your choice:

By 14th level, you can wield all manner of weapons in rapid succession. Once on each of your turns when you attack with a weapon, you can gain advantage on the attack roll. You can use this ability four times: once to make a ranged weapon attack with a weapon that has the Ammunition property, once to make a melee weapon attack with a twohanded weapon, once to make a melee weapon attack with a one-handed weapon, and once to make a ranged weapon attack with a thrown weapon. Each use must be with a different weapon, and you regain each use of this ability after one minute. You can't use this ability if you have disadvantage on the attack roll, or if you can't see the target.

This weapon scores a critical hit on a roll of 18–20.

The Calibarons know, better than most, that gunpowder is the single greatest invention ever created by mortals. A sword may let a skilled wielder lay a giant low and magic may let the savvy and the blessed stand up to the gods, but only a gun will let a common man put a dragon in its place.

Starting at 7th level, you can add the following special property to your firearms:

Starting at 10th level, you can spend 10 minutes to calibrate and reinforce a ranged weapon, or you can calibrate up to 6 ranged weapons during a short or long rest. This weapon retains its calibration until it hits a target, after which it is no longer calibrated. A calibrated ranged weapon gains one of the following properties of your choice:

Beginning at 14th level, you have learned to construct the ultimate firearm attachment: an underbarrel grenade launcher. You can use your action to attach this launcher to a two-handed ranged weapon with the Firearm property or remove it from one. If the launcher is ever lost or stolen, you can construct a new one over the course of a long rest with 100 gp in materials.

You can use your action to fire the launcher at a point you can see within 60 feet of you. Each creature in a 10-foot-radius sphere centered on that point must make a Dexterity saving throw against your Masterwork save DC, taking 8d6 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful save.

Once you fire the launcher, you can't do so again until you finish a short or long rest.

When you take the Attack action to make an attack with this firearm, you can use your bonus action to make one additional attack with it.

Masters of machinery, the tinkers and gearsmiths of the Clockworkers' Guild study and perfect the art of fashioning constructs. Their designs are as elegant as they are functional, translating simple ticking movements through a kaleidoscope of gears and pistons to create lifelike, even seemingly intelligent, clockwork creatures. Nearly all clockworkers are attended by a pair of their construct servants that serve a dual purpose as attentive assistants and relentless bodyguards. Veteran clockworkers, however, walk astride constructs taller than themselves, great gear-driven golems of formidable strength.

Starting at 7th level, you have developed a mechanized arm attached to your person which follows your telepathic commands. This arm is fully functional and can be used to hold weapons and shields (allowing you to hold a two-handed weapon and a one handed weapon), perform somatic components of spells, and perform other actions, though the arm doesn't grant you additional actions.

Starting at 10th level, you can spend 10 minutes to fit a clockwork attachment to a suit of armor, or fit up to 6 attachments to suits of armor during a short or long rest. Each suit of armor can have only one attachment. This armor retains its attachment for 8 hours, after which the attachment breaks. Choose from among the following attachments:

Beginning at 14th level, you can integrate a dead man's switch into each of your constructs: a bomb which detonates when your construct is critically damaged. When a construct with the bomb drops to 0 hit points, it detonates in a 5-foot radius explosion. Each creature within the area must make a Dexterity saving throw against your Masterwork save DC or take 6d6 fire damage.

While wearing this armor, you can cast the haste spell once without using a spell slot. Once you do so, you can't do so again until you finish a short or long rest.

The Courtiers' Guild works less with steel and more with fabric and lace. Dressmakers, tailors, hatters, and accessorizers, these craftsmen specialize in making their wealthy clientele look their very best. No other craftsperson possesses a keener eye for fashion or a swifter needle and thread, and few can pass as easily in royal as a well-dressed courtier.

By 7th level, you can stitch wounds together as neatly as fabric. As an action, you can mend the wounds of a willing creature within 5 feet of you, causing it to regain hit points equal to 1d10 + half your craftsman level, up to a maximum of the damage taken in the last minute. You can only use this ability on a creature that has taken damage within the last minute. Once a creature regains hit points in this way, it can't do so again until it finishes a short or long rest.

Starting at 10th level, you can spend 10 minutes tailoring the clothing or armor another creature is wearing, or tailor up to 6 creatures during a short or long rest, ensuring that it is up to the highest standards of fashion. A tailored creature can add your Intelligence modifier to the next Charisma check it makes. Once it uses this ability, it can't do so again until it is tailored again.

By 14th level, you can wear a suit of light armor underneath another set of armor. Even if you are wearing two suits of armor, you only use the statistics of the outermost suit of armor. As a bonus action, you can doff your outermost suit of armor for a quick wardrobe change.

Components: Masterwork exotic melee weapon that deals slashing damage

When you hit a creature with this weapon, you can use one of the following abilities:

To a Forgeknight, heat is not merely integral to forging, curing, and welding gear, it is a weapon in its own right, for the swing of a white-hot blade bites not only with steel, but with flame. A Forgeknight carries the intensity of a forge with them, storing it in their armor and building it up in their weapons, before unleashing it in a scorching blast.

Starting at 7th level, you can add the Explosive and Heat properties to your exotic melee weapons. You can add the Heat property to any melee weapon, even if it already has another Journeyman property. When you hit a target with an explosive melee weapon, it creates an explosion at the point of impact, as per the Explosive property, which doesn't harm you or the weapon.

Starting at 10th level, you can plunge a number of melee weapons or pieces of ammunition into an active forge or your portable forge, heating them to white-hot temperatures. Weapons and ammunition placed in the forge must be made of metal, and remain heated for 10 minutes. You can heat one weapon or 2 pieces of ammunition in the forge as an action, or up to 10 weapons or 20 pieces of ammunition over the course of 1 minute.

The first time a heated weapon or piece of ammunition hits a target, it deals an extra 1d6 fire damage and is no longer heated.

Beginning at 14th level, you can release the heat of your portable forge in a colossal burst. While holding your forge, you can cast the fireball spell, centered on yourself, without using a spell slot or material components, using your Masterwork save DC. You take no damage from this spell.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

You build a miniature furnace into this suit of armor, as well as layers of heat-dispersing materials. While wearing this armor, you have immunity to fire damage.

Additionally, when you take the Dash action, you can choose to cast the wall of fire spell without using a spell slot or spell components as part of that action. The wall appears at the end of your turn. Instead of creating a straight or ringed wall of fire, the wall follows the path along the ground over which you moved on your turn, up to a distance of 60 feet. Once you use this property, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Ill content to work with materials like steel, wood, or cloth, craftsmen of the Luminaries' Guild have developed tools to shape light itself into their creations. Hardlight stands among the most versatile materials ever to be discovered: it is light, pliant, and strong, but best of all, it can be conjured whole cloth into brilliant, glowing objects. Originally, its use was limited to only arcanists, but with the invention of the hardlight projector, nonmagical craftsmen can fashion this material into weapons and armor that appear in the blink of an eye.

At 7th level, you can use an action to raise a defense wall of hardlight. Choose a point within 15 feet of you. Starting from that point, a number of translucent panels up to your Intelligence modifier appear in unoccupied spaces, which connect to form one continuous wall. Each panel is 5 feet wide, 4 feet tall, 1/4-inch-thick, and is tall enough to provide half cover for any Medium creature behind it. Creatures can't move through the wall, though they can jump over it. The wall persists for 1 minute or until you dismiss it on your turn (no action required).

Once you use this ability, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Starting at 10th level, you can spend 10 minutes to fortify a melee weapon with a glittering hardlight coating, or fortify up to 6 during a short or long rest. This weapon retains its fortification until it hits a target, after which it is no longer fortified. A fortified weapon gains one of the following properties of your choice:

Starting at 14th level, as an action, you can overcharge your hardlight projector to fire a beam in a 100-foot long, 5-foot wide line out from you in a direction you choose. Each creature within that area must make a Dexterity saving throw against your Masterwork save DC. A creature takes 8d6 radiant damage, or half as much on a success. The blast leaves behind a super-heated trail in the area of the line, which remains until the start of your next turn. A creature which enters the area for the first time on their turn takes 3d6 radiant damage. The beams ignite flammable objects in the area that aren't being worn or carried.

Once you use this ability, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

As a bonus action while wearing this armor, you can raise a spherical hardlight shield around yourself for a short time. You gain temporary hit points equal to twice your level, which last until the start of your next turn. Additionally, while these temporary hit points persist, spell attacks targeting you automatically miss and you have immunity to radiant damage.

Once you use this ability, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

For centuries, the pinnacle of mechanized vehicles was the apparatus of the crab, a singular device capable of exploring inhospitable environments, from the sea floor to lava-strewn volcanic fields. However, ambitious craftsmen from the Mechanauts' Guild have drawn up designs for a new vehicle, mightier and more customizable than the old apparatus. This device is a walking tank, equipped with savage fists, scuttling legs, and climate control enhancements—a vehicle to dwarf all others, a true feat of engineering.

By 7th level, you have redesigned your apparatus's legs to achieve better mobility. Choose one of the following upgrades:

Starting at 10th level, you have installed a second seat inside the cockpit, which takes an action to enter and exit. A creature can't pilot the apparatus from this seat, but it does have total cover from outside effects.

Beginning at 14th level, you have installed an external attachment to your apparatus. Choose one of the upgrades below. Once you use the installed upgrade, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again.

If this weapon is installed in a mechanaut's apparatus and it deals more than one die of damage on a hit, whenever you roll damage, you can maximize one of the weapon's damage dice instead of rolling it.

Most craftsmen do their best work in precisely arranged workshops, with exact components, plenty of tools and space, and all the best materials. You, however, have learned to be far more pragmatic and flexible with your choices for tools, materials, and workspace, allowing you to forge deadly gear out of little more than a box of scraps and a roll of vent tape.

Starting at 7th level, you find treasure where others see only trash. When you make a Charisma (Persuasion) check to buy or sell scrap or salvage, you can use your Intelligence modifier instead of your Charisma modifier, and you add double your proficiency bonus to the check.

Additionally, you can cobble together tools and other equipment much more efficiently out of scrap. You regain expended uses of your Tool Belt ability following a short or long rest.

Starting at 10th level, you can spend 10 minutes to fortify a scrap weapon, or fortify up to 6 scrap weapons during a short or long rest, each of which gains the following property:

Starting at 14th level, you learn to make surprisingly effective repairs using scrap or junk. So long as you have a suitable amount of raw material (metal, wood, stone, etc.) and a bonding agent (nails, rivets, sovereign glue, copious amounts of tape, etc.), you can use your action to repair a nonmagical object or construct. A repaired object is restored to full functionality and also regains hit points equal to your craftsman level + your Intelligence modifier.

A destroyed or dead construct can be restored to functionality by using this ability, as long as no more than 1 minute has passed since the construct was destroyed. You can use this ability a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier and regain all uses of this ability when you finish a long rest.

Components: Masterwork weapon

When you apply this property to a weapon, select any other masterwork property of Master level or lower that the item doesn't already have. The item gains that property as a bonus property, even if it already had another property of the same level. You can use your action to replace this bonus property with another property of Master level or lower that the item doesn't already have. The item must always meet the prerequisites for its bonus property.

From the earliest days of life, storms (and particularly lightning) have struck the creatures caught in them with awe and terror. The Thunderlords, by contrast, draw wild inspiration from the majesty of nature, and seek to, quite literally, capture lightning in a bottle.

Starting at 7th level, while you're carrying your power cell, you have resistance to lightning damage. Additionally, whenever you take lightning damage from a hostile creature while wearing your gauntlets, you can regain 2 expended charge points as a reaction.

Starting at 10th level, you can spend 10 minutes to store an electric charge in a weapon or suit of armor, or you can store an electric charge in up to 6 different weapons or suits of armor during a short or long rest. Unexpended charges dissipate after 1 hour. A charged weapon or suit of armor gains the following appropriate property:

Starting at 14th level, while carrying your power cell, you can spend 5 charge points to cast the lightning bolt spell without using a spell slot or material components. This spell uses your Masterwork save DC.

Components: Masterwork exotic weapon

When you hit a creature with this weapon, you can expend the weapon's built-in power cell to shock the target. The target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw against your Masterwork save DC or become stunned until the end of your next turn.

Once you use this property, you can't use it again with this weapon until you finish a short or long rest.

Craftsmen are no strangers to turrets, bombs, and clockwork mechanisms, but the craftsmen of the Trappers' Guild raise this to a level of artistry. Given enough time and resources, a trapsmith can veritably blanket a room in dangerous implements, setting the stage to slay an intruder in a half-dozen unique ways. While the traps do the dirty work, the trapsmith is free to lounge about some distance away, enjoying a cold beverage and dreaming up new, dangerous designs.

Starting at 7th level, you can take 1 minute to conceal one of your traps from an unsuspecting target. A creature can detect a concealed trap by using its action to make an Intelligence (Investigation) or Wisdom (Perception) check against your Masterwork save DC, or by having a passive Perception score higher than that DC. The next time this trap activates before being disarmed, it deals twice as many damage dice.

Starting at 10th level, you can spend 10 minutes to modify a ranged weapon, or you can modify up to 6 ranged weapons during a short or long rest, each of which gains the following property:

At 14th level, as an action, you can deploy up to four traps. Once you use this ability, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

When you hit a Large or smaller creature with this weapon's projectile, it also deploys a net that automatically hits the creature.
