A Construct Themed Artificer

[tmjr6]

Hey guys, I'll be DMing an Eberron game in 5e soon and one of the things I've wanted to do is add a third subclass to the UA Artificer themed around the construct companion, any ideas or thoughts of what skills or abilities this subclass would get?

You could take some ideas from the UA Beast Master Conclave, since they have a companion. That would work for low levels, anyway.

You should definitely offer upgrades to the mech servant, like a choice between heavier damage or better armor and stuff like that.

If you look in my Sig, I had a pet artificer concept. The idea was to use animate objects as a template.

The important thing to keep under control is the number of animated objects you get. I would suggest no more than 1 / 5 levels. That way no artificer can get more attacks then a fighter.

( yes my write-up gave you more pets than that. I think it is a little overpowered at certain levels)
