The only other ones that have me a bit worried are the at-will infusions. So for this question, I would say bring it up to your DM and see what he/she thinks about working with you for item creation and reverse engineering and so forth.Д¬ool, thanks. That's why we added Spell and Potion schematics to be acquired by leveling up instead of just magic item formulas, because that why the class can still function on its own without any DM dependency OR it can be very DM reliant and give awesome quest ideas (finding a heart of a dragon to make a dragon slayer sword). The problem with permanent item creation in 5e is that the rules about it are so vague, so it's very DM dependent. I wanted it to be able to mimic any spell the player wanted and gain access to whatever spell the DM wanted to throw at them via scrolls and what not, but giving them the ability to mimic every available spell with an Arcana check just seems a little too strong. Yeah, the Schematic's Binder was modeled so that it retains versatility, but not unlimited versatility like the game breaking 3.5e Artificer. If a few more people a for the idea of spending craft reserve for reusing an infusion, I can see coming up with a system to implement it. You have a Haste potion, Invulnerability potion, Invisibility potion, Giant Strength potions, all that don't require concentration and you have access to wands, rods, scrolls, and infusions that do force you to use your concentration. But I feel this class does break the concentration limit quite a lot already with how the potions work. That's why I made certain infusions once per rest. I drink my healing potion a few days later and I get my 1 point of craft reserve back after my long rest.

I have my maximum craft reserve pool reduced by this one until I decide to drink it or it breaks. For example, a potion of healing costs 1 point of craft reserve to make during a short rest. This craft reserve remains used until a long rest after the destruction or ingestion of said potion. Yes, making a potion no matter what costs craft reserve corresponding to the rarity of the potion. Can an artificer learn an item schematic by studying an item? There are also item schematics, but these can only be learned by leveling up. Then they can cast it my making a scroll using their craft reserve.

So the Schematic Binder only contains spells, right? But the artificer can learn a spell from any class list if they find a teacher or a scroll. The craft reserve is relatively large, so maybe you could consider a scaling cost for multiple identical infusions the first costs 1 point from the reserve, the second costs 4, the third costs 9. But I also think it's appropriate for this particular class to be able to sustain multiple buffs simultaneously. It was smart to make certain infusions like 'Armor of Speed' castable only once per rest, so that multiple party members can't benefit. It could use some thought/playtesting about the extent to which this class bends the concentration limit. Shouldn't making a potion in a short rest use a point from the craft reserve, if you don't want to drink it right away? (As an added note, this class is now on DMSGuild! Check it out at this link: ) An Artificer's main job is magic item creation, trap tampering should be provided by a rogue.ДЄnyway, feedback is much appreciated and I will gladly take any constructive Hellcow I would love to hear input from the creator of Eberron himself, if possible. Note: After much grief, I did remove thieves' tools for fear of being OP. Namely, dead levels, it looks too much like a warlock, and permanent item creation is as vague as the DMG's.

It is a Beta however, because a few things could be worked upon and would love some input. It just doesn't feel like the Artificers of old, and because of this, me and another veterans DnD player have been working on creating a class that has the same feel as the 3.5 Artificer and remains balanced and unique. As the surveys have shown, the general populace is not happy with the Artificer Wizard tradition introduced in Unearthed Arcana.
