HOW TO PLAY ARTIFICER (again)

You forgot armorer subclass.

i think magic tinkering is pretty cool because imagine you need to blind someone and your close to them you can make your glove shine light into the eyes of the enemy

One of my favorite character concepts is a plasmoid armorer artificer. His name is Blobert Downey Jr

I remember somewhere that artificers infusions only need to be swapped if it isnt on the artificer a long damn time i had bag of holding goggles of night and a alchemist jug and i only had to juggle if i wanted to gift the rouge returning daggers or the paladin an +1 greatsword especially since I didn't even know that this was homebrew but once per long rest i could dismantle one attuned magic item to gain an extra infusion so my mind has been permanently skewed on how good artificer was

Does anyone know the site that ge mention while talking about the artificial arm ?

I will never forget when I made an artificer who was a Warforged. It was so broken. I was untouchable. But I also was able to talk my DM Into letting me take two subclasses but I had to inflict myself with some kind of madness as a damper. Ghost in the machine type situation. It was so much fun!

Hehehehhe Bird pirate artificer

Tinkering + crossbow bolts = tracer rounds. Fire a light bolt at an enemy in darkness to light 'em up. Fire a stink bolt at a fleeing carriage and get the ranger to sic their wolf buddy on the scent trail.

so my setting is at a roughly 30 years war level of tech with a healthy amount of magic. I'm thinking of having a character that is basicity DaVinci that is an artificer.

The way I always saw the artificer's spellcasting was that instead of inventing something for every spell, they instead invent a spellcasting focus, so instead of using a staff, or the weave or an instrument, the artificer MAKES their spellcasting focus, something that instead of channeling the artificer's magical power passively absorbs it from the world.

That way you don't need to make 50 inventions just to cast your spells and can instead put focus on the 2 or three spells you want to make specific separate inventions.

I thinking of a toy maker thats an artificer

Magical Tinkering becomes infinitely more useful if you talk to your GM and be like "this sucks, can I remove a couple stupid limitations please?"

It's funny because when you click on the sound icon on the definition, it does indeed say "arTIficer," however when you click on the, "learn to pronounce" button, both the American and British pronunciation emphasize the "AR" as in "ARtificer." So I'm still confused lol

I found that putting the light effect of a arrow or crossbolt is nice when dealing with targets go invisble but this is easier said then done in some cases

love this channel, abd tge cibtebtbut i feel the complaints are super ignorant.
create light: light up dangerous things so your party can avoid them in the dark:
record message: record a sound in a tiny pebble and throw it the opposite way you and the party are to distract guards/ patrols for easy sneaking./ use performace or alter self to ma e yourself sound like the NPC's boss, and tell them to return to bas eimmedaitely for free passage.
smells: in a warehouse filled with bombs, fill the area around the enemy with smell of fire, scaring them away from said warehouse because they fear an explosion.
writing words: arcane tinker a falsification of a contract or letter to get into places you wouldne be able to get into otherwise

Can you apply the Magic Tinkering four spells (light/sound/smell/picture) onto an arrow?

I'm picturing an arrow screaming WHEE after being launched. A curious distraction.

So what if you used magical tinkering to create a totally black illusion around an enemies eyes?

OMG I love the song!

JACOB! WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO DO A: HOW TO PLAY ARTIFICER (AGAIN) (AGAIN) VIDEO?!?!

Really though you haven't made one since TCoE came out and I want to know your thoughts on the Armorer class, and some ideas for characters. I want your opinion on a party of Artificers, and how versatile they are!

Use Magical Tinkering to imbue a rock with the Light, then keep it in a short scroll case, and when you open the top you have a flashlight and give it to the party member without darkvision! Rock gnomes can make a "fire starter" which is a lighter but not with the light radius a torch would have. The sound could be used to help someone sleep or a signal. The smell could help someone remember specific details because of Olfactory memory. Can use the image to identify people or items. There's one use for each of the 4 senses mentioned

You sound like a goob saying that word.

"This niche hobby that isn't niche anymore but we're all pretending that it is."

I'll speak positively of you in the afterlife for that one, Jacob.

I know I'm late to the debate, but over the years I've found many a use for magical tinkering. Ex.the 6 sec recording is perfect for verbal component for a spell(my dm allowed me to cast sword busrt this way as a trap as when activated it would say the spell as I were saying it) the smells are good for animal lures setting moods or covering up that dead body smell. The light is better than most people think simply because it's infinite length and lack of fuel requirements

Best artificer is armorer, basically Iron Man. I just wish we had more than 4 subclasses but 3rd party can’t even use artificer.

I can be Spider-Man by enchanting gloves and attaching mini cannons to my wrists that shoot grappling hooks and nets

Currently playing a solo artificer game from the birth of the character, 14 sessions in and 17 at level 1. The depth and care i have for this character is beyond anything ive played before. The utility, the flavour and sheer creative impulse that the class forces you to adapt to. Love this and the doors it opens in game play

I've never heard one say artficer dumber

I play artificer and I use the light and sound tinkering to make flash bangs

The way arftocter can cast spells is they store them in there items

Bombs

cool video!! thx

Dont trust google pronunciations.

Touch a one-pound rock, magical tinkering a 6-sec message saying F-you. Then use the spell catapult to fling the rock at your enemies.

Can't you see the more productive use of those small little magical trinkets? I see that more of being a sort of distraction. Pick up a rock, chuck it over with a sound so a guard will look towards it...which, I guess, is still just what a rock does, but if it's bright the guard might get distracted

Played a Warforged outside of Eberron in that his creators were a forge cleric & artificer, respectively working on their magnum opus: a living, thinking, evolving automaton who was also a Forge Cleric. He wasn't even made of stone or wood, just solid "celestial" bronze" metal.
So yes, if you play your cards right you can thematically fit a character in any other setting.

Boots of the winding path are what?

Fucking ...

Your unnecessary beep masked the word

Just hearing the uses of magical tinkering gave me so many ideas

I think he dented his drywall when he kicked the door in. Ouch lol

I played probably the most braindead Artificer ever. I played a warforged armorer artificer who wasn't really that smart and immediately answered the enemy when they asked what each member of the team did. The artificer's name was Able, he was created by a scientist named Adam and Adam's actual son was named Cain

grab some bronze coins cast magical tinkering scream for 6 seconds repeat until you have a bunch of them put them in a bag then when your in combat tell everyone to cover their ears as you reach into the bag and touch all of the bronze coins then as the screams overlap the enemies will be stunned from there ears hurting

I get it.. i get it.. Google says it both ways. But doesnt it sound dumb? A tificer that ars? Just say ARTIFICE.. and add an r.

I would make a 6 second recording of just a pure fart sound and send it to the bbeg

I decided to make an artificer that multi-classes into warlock, i don't think theres much usefulness to the artificer past level 15 tbh.

"What if they pull the syringe out!?" Mans acting like injected drugs don't have a half-life that will mark the ending of the drug's effect :p
