It’s ya boy Anderlith back at it again with the homebrew
So with the advent of the new subclasses the Artificer is shaping up to be an incredibly versatile & rewarding class. Though I do have some problems & nitpicks that I want to address & would encourage the playground to critique. I like to bounce ideas off of people.
He we go. Firstly, have the Artificer split at level one. You get the 2 Tool Profs & the bonus spells starting at level one. You gain the Expertise & Homunculus at level three as normal. The Level 10 Cantrip swap ability is disappointing, it feels like a place saver or a ribbon, so let’s add UMD since there is no reason an Artificer shouldn’t have USe Magical Device
In addition, I feel that level 7 & 11, widely considered “dead levels” should get “+1 Attunement slot” building up the the Artificer’s Capstone of 6
>>>The Artillerist’s Turret should be replaced by;
>>Arcane Cannonade
You create a medium sized construct that can take the form of say a belching frogbeast, a drake/dragon with a cannon mouth, or a diminutive golem with a cannon on its back, basically any squat vaguely quadrupedal or “monkey run” type creature with a visible cannon as a mouth or mounted to it. You pick one configuration & can change it per short or long rest. You may command the Arcane Cannonade to take an action (Attack/heal) as a bonus action. You may also cast any spell you could normally cast through the Arcane Cannonade & using its senses.
