Repair (Requires Tinker's Tools [or Smith's Tools for Repairing Metal Objects]). The
Initiate can restore 10 hit points to a damaged object for each hour of work. For any object, he
needs access to the raw materials required to repair it. For metal objects, he needs access to
an open flame hot enough to make the metal pliable.
Researcher. When the Initiate attempts to learn or recall a piece of lore, if he does not know
that information, he often knows where and from whom he can obtain it. Usually, this information
comes from a library, scriptorium, university, or a sage or other learned person or creature. The
DM might rule that the knowledge he seeks is secreted away in an almost inaccessible place, or
that it simply cannot be found. Unearthing the deepest secrets of the multiverse can require an
adventure or even a whole campaign.
Ritual Casting. The Initiate can cast an artificer spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag
and he has the spell prepared.
Set a Trap (Requires Thieves' Tools). Just as the Initiate can disable traps, he can also set
them. As part of a short rest, he can create a trap using items he has on hand. The total of his
check becomes the DC for someone else's attempt to discover or disable the trap. The trap
deals damage appropriate to the materials used in crafting it (such as poison or a weapon) or
damage equal to half the total of his check, whichever the DM deems appropriate.
Spellcasting. The Initiate is a 1st-level spellcaster. His spellcasting ability is Intelligence (spell
save DC 13, +5 to hit with spell attacks). The Initiate knows the following artificer spells:
Cantrips (at will): guidance, spare the dying

1st level (2 slots): absorb elements (see "Reactions" below), cure wounds, feather fall* (see
"Reactions" below)
*The Initiate needs material components to cast these spells.
War Caster. The Initiate has practiced casting spells in the midst of combat, learning techniques
that grant him the following benefits:
● He has advantage on Constitution saving throws that he makes to maintain his

concentration on a spell when he takes damage.
● He can perform the somatic components of spells even when he has weapons or a
shield in one or both hands.
● When a hostile creature's movement provokes an opportunity attack from the Initiate, he
can use his reaction to cast a spell at the creature, rather than making an opportunity
attack. The spell must have a casting time of 1 action and must target only that creature.
BONUS ACTIONS
Bonus Second Dagger Attack. When the Initiate takes the Attack action and attacks with
Dagger, he can make one attack with Second Dagger.
ACTIONS
Dagger. Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft. or range 20/60 ft., one target.
Hit: 4 (1d4 +2) piercing damage.
Guidance (Cantrip; Requires Concentration). The Initiate touches one willing creature. Once
before the spell ends, the target can roll a d4 and add the number rolled to one ability check of
its choice. It can roll the die before or after making the ability check. The spell then ends.
Light Crossbow. Ranged Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, range 80/320 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d8 +2)
piercing damage.
Magical Tinkering. To use this ability, the Initiate must have thieves’ tools or artisan’s tools tools
in hand. He then touches a Tiny nonmagical object and give it one of the following magical
properties of his choice:
● The object sheds bright light in a 5-foot radius and dim light for an additional 5 feet.
● Whenever tapped by a creature, the object emits a recorded message that can be heard
up to 10 feet away. He utters the message when he bestows this property on the object,
and the recording can be no more than 6 seconds long.
● The object continuously emits his choice of an odor or a nonverbal sound (wind, waves,
chirping, or the like). The chosen phenomenon is perceivable up to 10 feet away.
● A static visual effect appears on one of the object's surfaces. This effect can be a
picture, up to 25 words of text, lines and shapes, or a mixture of these elements, as he
likes.
The chosen property lasts indefinitely. As an action, the Initiate can touch the object and end the
property early. He can bestow magic on multiple objects, touching one object each time he uses
this feature, though a single object can only bear one property at a time. The maximum number
of objects he can affect with this feature at one time is 3. If he tries to exceed his maximum, the
oldest property immediately ends, and then the new property applies.
Second Dagger. Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft. or range 20/60 ft., one
target. Hit: 2 (1d4) piercing damage.
REACTIONS
Absorb Elements (1st-Level Spell; Requires a Spell Slot). When the Initiate takes acid, cold,
fire, lightning, or thunder damage, he gains resistance to the triggering damage type until the
start of her next turn. Also, the first time he hits with a melee attack on his next turn, the target
takes an extra 1d6 damage of the triggering type, and the spell ends.
Feather Fall (1st-Level Spell; Requires a Spell Slot and a Small Feather or Piece of Down).
When the Initiate or a creature within 60 feet of him falls, choose up to five falling creatures
within range. A falling creature's rate of descent slows to 60 feet per round until the spell ends. If
the creature lands before the spell ends, it takes no falling damage and can land on its feet, and
the spell ends for that creature.

Challenge 1 (200 XP)
Enhanced Weapon (Infusion; Requires Simple or Martial Weapon). This magic weapon
grants a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it.
Equipment (126 gp, 5 sp; 106½ lb.). Bottle of black ink (10 gp), common clothes (5 sp; 3 lb.),
dagger (2 gp; 1 lb.) ×2 (4 gp; 2 lb.) dungeoneer's pack (backpack {5 lb.}, crowbar {5 lb.},
hammer {3 lb.}, pitons {¼lb.} ×10 {2½lb.}, rations {2 lb.} ×10 days {20 lb.}, waterskin {5 lb. ❴full❵},
hempen rope ×50 feet {10 lb.}) [12 gp], letter from a dead colleague posing a question the
Initiate has not yet been able to answer, light crossbow (25 gp; 5 lb.), quill, scale mail (50 gp; 45
lb.), small knife, thieves' tools (25 gp; 1 lb.)
Infuse Item. Whenever the Initiate finishes a long rest, he can touch a nonmagical object and
imbue it with one of his artificer infusions, turning it into a magic item. An infusion works on only
certain kinds of objects, as specified in the infusion's description. If the item requires
attunement, he can attune himself to it the instant he infuses the item. If he decides to attune to
the item later, he must do so using the normal process for attunement. His infusion remains in
an item indefinitely, but when he dies, the infusion vanishes after 3 days. The infusion also
vanishes if he gives up his knowledge of the infusion for another one. He can infuse more than
one nonmagical object at the end of a long rest. He must touch each of the objects, and each of
his infusions can be in only one object at a time. Moreover, no object can bear more than one of
his infusions at a time. If he tries to exceed 2 infusions, the oldest infusion immediately ends,
and then the new infusion applies. If an infusion ends on an item that contains other things, like
a bag of holding, its contents harmlessly appear in and around its space.
Initiate can restore 10 hit points to a damaged object for each hour of work. For any object, he
Repeating Shot (Infusion; Requires Simple or Martial Weapon with the Ammunition
Property and Attunement). This magic weapon grants a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls
made with it when it's used to make a ranged attack, and it ignores the loading property if it has
it. If the wielder loads no ammunition in the weapon, it produces its own, automatically creating
one piece of magic ammunition when he makes a ranged attack with it. The ammunition created
by the weapon vanishes the instant after it hits or misses a target.
Replicate Magic Item (Infusion; Hat of Wizardry; Requires Attunement by a Wizard). This
antiquated, cone-shaped hat is adorned with gold crescent moons and stars. While the Initiate is
wearing it, he gains the following benefits:
● He can use the hat as a spellcasting focus for his wizard spells.
● He can try to cast a cantrip that he doesn't know. The cantrip must be on the wizard spell
list, and he must make a DC 10 Intelligence (Arcana) check. If the check succeeds, he
casts the spell. If the check fails, so does the spell, and the action used to cast the spell
is wasted. In either case, he can't use this property again until he finishes a long rest.
Replicate Magic Item (Infusion; Ruby of the War Mage; Requires Attunement by a
Spellcaster). Etched with eldritch runes, this 1-inch-diameter ruby allows the Initiate to use a
simple or martial weapon as a spellcasting focus for his spells. For this property to work, he
must attach the ruby to the weapon by pressing the ruby against it for at least 10 minutes.
Thereafter, the ruby can't be removed unless he detaches it as ao action or the weapon is
destroyed. Not even an antimagic field causes it to fall off. The ruby does fall off the weapon if
his attunement to the ruby ends.

Battle Ready. The Aspirant's combat training and his experiments with magic have paid off in
two ways:
● He gains proficiency with martial weapons.

● When he attacks with a magic weapon, he can use his Intelligence modifier, instead of
Strength or Dexterity modifier, for the attack and damage rolls.

Identify Hides (Requires Leatherworker's Tools). When looking at a hide or a leather item,
the Aspirant can determine the source of the leather and any special techniques used to treat it.
For example, he can spot the difference between leather crafted using dwarven methods and
leather crafted using halfling methods.

feather fall* (see "Reactions" below), heroism (see "Actions" below), shield (see "Reactions"
below)
*The Aspirant needs material components to cast these spells.
Steel Defender. The Aspirant's tinkering has borne him a companion, a steel defender. It's
friendly to him and his companions, and it obeys his commands. See its game statistics in the
Steel Defender stat block, which uses the Aspirant's proficiency bonus (PB) in several places.
He determines the creature's appearance and whether it has two legs or four; his choice has no
effect on its game statistics. In combat, the defender shares the Aspirant's initiative count, but it
takes its turn immediately after him. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only
action it takes on its turn is the Dodge action. If the Aspirant is incapacitated, the defender can
take any action of its choice, not just Dodge. If the mending spell is cast on the defender, it
regains 2d6 hit points. If it has died within the last hour, he can use his smith's tools as an action
to revive it, provided he is within 5 feet of it and he expends a spell slot of 1st level or higher.
The defender returns to life after 1 minute with all its hit points restored. At the end of a long
rest, he can create a new steel defender if he has smith's tools with him. If he already has a
defender from this feature, the first one immediately perishes. The defender also perishes if the
Aspirant dies.
The Right Tool for the Job. With thieves’ tools or artisan’s tools in hand, the Aspirant can
magically create one set of artisan's tools in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of him. This
creation requires 1 hour of uninterrupted work, which can coincide with a short or long rest.
Though the product of magic, the tools are nonmagical, and they vanish when he uses this
feature again.
War Caster. The Aspirant has practiced casting spells in the midst of combat, learning
techniques that grant him the following benefits:

● When a hostile creature's movement provokes an opportunity attack from the Aspirant,
he can use his reaction to cast a spell at the creature, rather than making an opportunity
BONUS ACTIONS
Command Steel Defender. The Aspirant commands his steel defender to take an action other
than Dodge. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action.
ACTIONS
Guidance (Cantrip; Requires Concentration). The Aspirant touches one willing creature.
Once before the spell ends, the target can roll a d4 and add the number rolled to one ability
check of its choice. It can roll the die before or after making the ability check. The spell then
ends.
Heroism (1st-Level Spell; Requires a Spell Slot and Concentration). A willing creature the
Aspirant touches is imbued with bravery. Until the spell ends, the creature is immune to being
frightened and gains 3 temporary hit points at the start of each of its turns. When the spell ends,
the target loses any remaining temporary hit points from this spell.
Magical Tinkering. To use this ability, the Aspirant must have thieves’ tools or artisan’s tools
tools in hand. He then touches a Tiny nonmagical object and give it one of the following magical
likes.

uses this feature, though a single object can only bear one property at a time. The maximum
number of objects he can affect with this feature at one time is 3. If he tries to exceed his
maximum, the oldest property immediately ends, and then the new property applies.
Returning Javelin. Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft. or range 30/120 ft.,
one target. Hit: 7 (1d6 +4) piercing damage.
REACTIONS

Shield (1st-Level Spell; Requires a Spell Slot). When the Aspirant is hit by an attack or
targeted by the magic missile spell, he gains +5 bonus to AC until the start of his next turn,

early if the Aspirant is incapacitated, if he dons medium or heavy armor or a shield, or if he uses
