An artificer is an individual who lives on the edge of magic and science. They
are craftsmen and engineers, mixing the arcane and divine with a new discipline:
technology. Artificers are students of exotic sciences and theories, and are
often viewed with distrust, derision or outright hostility by those versed in
traditional magic.

Adventures: Many artificers live a life of seclusion, far from the outside
world, where they are free to hone their understanding of science, magic and
technology far from the prying eyes of the ignorant. For other artificers,
however, the world is their laboratory — life is best spent traveling to foreign
lands and learning everything they can. Their theories and skills can be
thoroughly tested only through regular application, which adventure affords.

Characteristics: Artificers are driven by a unyielding thirst for knowledge, but
often at the expense of their social skills. In many ways, they are the
archetypal ‘mad scientist’, reveling in invention but difficult to understand.

Alignment: Artificers are far more interested in their work than in its moral
implications. As such, all artificers tend towards neutrality. Lawfully minded
artificers focus on methods for improvement and the betterment of society, while
Chaotically minded artificers tend to follow their whims, whether that road
leads them to inventions of creation or destruction.

Background: Similar to wizards, artificers receive formal training and education
through years of hard study. The talents and desire to enter the world of the
artificer often manifest at a very early age, through the disassembling of
objects and devices for no other reason that curiosity. Artificers are a closely
knit society, sharing a sense of camaraderie with others who have similar
training and knowledge. They relish intellectual debate and conversation with
their fellows, sharing theories and commentary upon each other’s techniques and
innovations. Rivalry between artificers is common, with each viewing themselves
as the pinnacle of a rare and exclusive breed, and eager to correct the
“mistakes” of their rivals.

Role: Artificers are valuable support within their party, offering technological
and magical assistance to others. Their weird science abilities make them well
suited to augmenting the specific needs of any adventuring group.

Alignment: Any Neutral

Hit Dice: d6

Starting Wealth: 3d6 x 10 gp (average 105gp)

CLASS FEATURES

All of the following are class features of the artificer.

WEAPON AND ARMOR PROFICIENCY

An artificer is proficient with all simple weapons, with light armor, and with
shields (except tower shields).

ELBOW GREASE

The artificer gains a +2 bonus to all Craft checks. This bonus raises to +4 at
6th level, and +6 at 10th level.

JACK OF ALL TRADES

The artificer has picked up a smattering of even the most obscure skills. They
may use any skill untrained.

WEIRD SCIENCE

An artificer is not a spellcaster, but instead possesses the ability to imbue
items with magical power. This weird science allows the artificer to create
devices that combine the effects of one or more spells, either arcane or divine.

An artificer has access to both arcane and divine spell lists, but only up to
4th level. Any number of spells can be combined into a single device. Spell
statistics (casting times, etc.) remain unchanged, although no components are
required and the artificer is considered the “caster” for the purposes of CL.

Weird science devices must be invented in advance, however — they cannot be
created on the fly. The time to create such devices is 4 hours per spell level
used. As such, an artificer usually has a fixed collection of regularly-carried
devices.

Weird science devices are temporary and unreliable. They are able to be used
reliably a number of times per day equal to 1 plus half the class level of the
artificer who built the device (rounding up, naturally). The device may be used
by anyone — but if used by someone other than the artificer who built it, it
requires a Use Magic Device roll at DC 15 to activate (a failed roll indicates
that the device fails to activate for that user, and a roll of 1 means that the
device breaks down for good).

If the device is used more times than allowed (by anyone), it requires a Use
Magic Device skill check with a DC equal starting at 20 and rising by 1 every
additional time the device is used. A failed roll means that the device breaks
down and may not be used again (the artificer will have to build another).

Combining multiple magical effects into a single device means that both effects
function simultaneously upon activation (effectively casting two or more spells
at once) — but such devices are even more unstable than usual: The Use Magic
Device check for extra activations starts at DC 25 + the number of effects used,
and goes up for each additional usage by the number of effects used.

EXAMPLE 1

Roderick, a 5th level artificer, invents an electromagnetic projector — a gun
which emulates the effect of the 3rd level wizard spell, lightning Bolt. It will
have a range of 120 feet, and do 5d6 points of electricity damage to any target.
This device will take Roderick 12 hours to build. It can be fired 4 times per
day before becoming unreliable (Use Magic Device, DC 20 +1 for each additional
use).

If Roderick had decided to combine lightning Bolt, inflict light wounds (2nd
level Cleric spell) and shield (1st level Wizard) into his gun, giving him a
weapon which does 5d6 electricity damage at 120′ range, 1d8+5 points of damage
if you use touch attack, and bestows a +4 shield bonus to AC for 1 min/level
errata, it would have taken him 24 hours to complete. The gun would be able to
be fired 4 times per day (Use Magical Device, DC 28 +3 for each additional use).

ITEM CREATION

At second level, an artificer’s invention ability expands to include the
creation of true magic items, even if the artificer does not have access to the
prerequisite spells. The artificer must make a successful Craft check (DC 20 +
caster level) to emulate each spell normally required to create the item. This
ability does not stack with the Master Craftsman feat.

EXAMPLE 2

To make a 1st-level wand of magic missile, an artificer would need a Craft check
result of 21 or higher. To create a carpet of flying, (caster level 5th), he
would need a check result of 25 or higher to emulate the overland flight
prerequisite spell. The artificer must make a successful check for each
prerequisite of the item.

The magic item creation guidelines are used, and for the purpose of emulating
prerequisites, the artificer’s effective CL equals his class level +2. However,
if the item duplicates a spell effect, the statistics of that effect use the
artificer’s actual level.

EXAMPLE 3

Access to a 3rd level spell usually requires a 5th level caster. Under these
rules, an artificer could emulate fireball at 3rd level — but the damage of a
fireball coming from such an item would only be 3d6, rather than 5d6, since the
artificer is only 3rd level. An artificer can also make Use Magic Device checks
to emulate nonspell requirements, including alignment and race, as per the
normal DCs for the skill. He cannot emulate skill or feat requirements, however,
including item creation feat prerequisites.

BONUS FEATS

An artificer gains every item creation feat as a bonus feat. He gets Scribe
Scroll as a bonus feat at 2nd level, Brew Potion at 3rd level, Craft Wondrous
Item at 4th level, Craft Magic Arms and Armor at 5th level, Craft Wand at 7th
level, Craft Rod at 9th level, Craft Staff at 12th level, and Forge Ring at 14th
level. In addition, an artificer gains a bonus feat at 3rd, 8th, 12th, 16th and
19th level. For each of these bonus feats, the artificer must choose a feat from
the following list: Empower Spell, Enlarge Spell, Extend Spell, Heighten Spell,
Magical Aptitude, Maximize Spell, Quicken Spell, Silent Spell, Skill Focus,
Still Spell, Widen Spell.

SALVAGE

At 5th level, an artificer gains the ability to salvage the gold piece value
from a magic item and use those funds to create another magic item. The
artificer must spend a day with the item, and he must also have the appropriate
item creation feat for the item he is salvaging. After one day, the item is
destroyed and the artificer gains the gp value it took to create the item. This
value is cannot be spent as gold, it may only be used in the creation of another
magic item.

EXAMPLE 4

An artificer wants to salvage a wand of lightning bolts that has 20 charges.
Originally created (like all wands) with 50 charges, it required 5,625 gp when
initially made, or approximately 113 gp (5,625 divided by 50) per charge. The
artificer is able to recover the gp value from the remaining charges. He gains
the value of (113 x 20) 2,260 gp to put toward the creation of another item.

METAMAGIC SCIENCE

At 6th level, an artificer gains the ability to apply a metamagic feat he knows
to a spell trigger item (such as a wand). He must have the appropriate item
creation feat for the spell trigger item he is using. Using this ability expends
additional charges from the item equal to the number of effective spell levels
the metamagic feat would add to a spell.

EXAMPLE 5

An artificer can Quicken a spell cast from a wand by spending 5 charges (4
additional charges), Empower the spell by spending 3 charges, or trigger it
Silently by spending 2 charges. The Still Spell feat confers no benefit when
applied to a spell trigger item. An artificer cannot use this ability when using
a spell trigger item that does not have charges.

IMPROVED METAMAGIC SCIENCE

At 11th level, an artificer gains the ability to apply a metamagic feat he knows
to a spell completion item (a scroll, for example). He must have the appropriate
item creation feat for the spell completion item he is using. The DC for the Use
Magic Device check is equal to 20 + (3 times the modified level of the spell).

EXAMPLE 6

Applying the Empower Spell feat to a scroll of cone of cold, creating a
7th-level effect, has a DC of 20 + (3 x 7), or 41. An artificer can use this
ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + his Int modifier.

IMPROVED JACK OF ALL TRADES

All skills are now considered class skills for the artificer, receiving the
usual +3 bonus given to class skill checks.

EXEMPLAR

The artificer’s jack of all trades ability reaches its zenith: The artificer may
now add half his class level to all untrained skill checks.
