Artificer Specialization: Siegewright
T
hrough your tinkering and experiments with
engineering, you have managed to create an
engine of destruction that towers above a
battleground and lays waste to those that
oppose you.
Tool Proficiency
When you adopt this specialization at 3rd level, you gain
proficiency with smith's tools. If you already have this
proficiency, you gain proficiency with one other type of
artisan's tools of your choice.
Siegewright Spells
Starting at 3rd level, you always have certain spells
prepared after you reach particular levels in this class, as
shown in the Siegewright Spells table. These spells count
as artificer spells for you, but they don't count against the
number of artificer spells you prepare.
Siegewright Spells
Artificer Level Spells
3rd armor of agathys, jump
5th mind spike, misty step
9th protection from energy, sending
13th locate creature, freedom of movement
17th far step, wall of force
Mechanical Mastermind
Beginning at 3rd level, you gain ownership or possession of
a robotic ally that will assist you in your adventures. This is
a Titanic Custodian, which will obey your verbal
commands. The Custodian is physically incapable of
hurting you; it cannot make attacks against you, even if
ordered to.
As an action, you can dismiss the Custodian to an
extradimensional space, where it waits until summoned. To
summon it, you must spend 1 minute conjuring it, at the
conclusion of which it appears in an unoccupied space
within 15 feet of you. If there isn't a space for the Custodian
to appear, the summoning fails.
As a bonus action on your turn, you can command the
Titanic Custodian to either move up to its speed or to take
the Attack action against a creature the Custodian can see
within range of its attack. You can also command it to
use an ability given to it via an infusion, such as a spell
stored within it.
Weaponry. Upon creation, the Custodian has two
methods of attack; a melee attack and a ranged attack, both
of which are described in the Custodian's stat block. At the
DM's discretion, weapons used by larger enemies, such as
giants, might be usable by the Custodian. Alternatively,
such weapons could be built. Discuss with your DM the
specifics of the weapon and how your Custodian might use
it.
Ability Scores. The Custodian's Strength score is
calculated differently than other ability scores; the score is
equal to 12 plus your Intelligence modifier plus your
proficiency bonus, up to a maximum of 30. Whenever you
gain the Ability Score Increase feature, you can also
increase one of the Custodian's ability scores by 1 (apart
from Strength), to a maximum of 20.
Saving Throws And Skills. The Custodian gains
proficiency in two saving throws and two skills of your
choice, using your proficiency bonus.
Infusions. You can create special Infusions that affect
your Custodian and change its capabilities. Like your
normal infusions, these have a level prerequisite and count
towards your currently infused items. The Custodian can
be under the effect of any and all infusions you place on it.
Controlling the Custodian. If you are within 5 feet of
the Custodian, you can use your action to enter it and take
control of it. While controlling it in this way, you have full
control over its actions, and the Custodian gains a +2
bonus to all attack rolls it makes. You have full cover
against attacks, and don't need to breathe. You can use
your action to exit into an unoccupied space within 10 feet
of the Custodian.
While being controlled, the Custodian shares your skill
and saving throw proficiencies unless its own are higher. It
also shares your weapon proficiencies.
Falling. The Custodian is immune to all fall damage, and
you are also immune to fall damage while controlling the
Custodian.
Spells. While controlling the Custodian, you don't
require verbal or somatic components for your artificer
spells.
Combat. When not being controlled, the Custodian acts
on its own initiative. When being controlled, it acts on your
turn instead.
When the Custodian dies, any creature within 10 feet takes 2d6
force damage, If you are controlling the Custodian you take the
remaining damage dealt to the custodian after reaching o
hitpoints
Destruction. If the Custodian dies, it becomes an object
and remains in its space until you use your action and a
spell slot of 1st level or higher to revive it with hit points
equal to your artificer level. If you are controlling the
Custodian when it dies, you are trapped until you or a
creature adjacent to you makes a DC 18 Strength check to
remove you from the rubble.
Armoury Assault
Starting at 5th level, your Titanic Custodian can make two
attacks using its action, instead of one. In addition, the
Custodian's attacks count as magical for the purpose of
overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical
attacks and damage.
Empowered Protector
At 9th level, your tinkering has made your Titanic
Custodian more fearsome. Your Custodian now becomes
Huge, and the reach for its melee attacks increases by 5 ft.
In addition, the Custodian gains proficiency in one saving
throw of your choice.
Bulwark's Shield
Beginning at 15th level, your Custodian's plating is almost
impenetrable to standard weapons. The Custodian gains
resistance to nonmagical bludgeoning, piercing and
slashing damage.
In addition, the Custodian can now make three attacks
using its action, instead of two.
Titanic Custodian Infusions
All the following Infusions require a Titanic Custodian;
attempting to place these Infusions on something else
results in the Infusion being unsuccessful.
Absorbing Armor
Prerequisites: 14th level
Whenever you finish a short or long rest, choose three
damage types the Custodian doesn't have resistance to.
Until you finish a short or long rest, the Custodian has
resistance to those damage types.
Advanced Scanning Systems
Prerequisites: none
The Custodian gains blindsight out to 5 feet and
tremorsense out to 10 feet, and the range of its darkvision
extends by 30 feet.
Arcane Ballista
Prerequisites: 6th level
When you finish a long rest, you can use smith's tools to
forge special sigils into a Medium object and thereby turn it
into an arcane ballista that your Custodian is proficient
with. The sigils disappear from the object if you later carve
them on a different item. The sigils otherwise last
indefinitely.
When your Custodian makes a ranged attack using this
ballista, the attack's range increases by 30 feet and the
attack deals an additional damage dice of piercing damage.
Core Program: Desolate
Prerequisites: 14th level
Choose one conjuration, evocation or necromancy spell
of 6th or 7th level. You can command your Custodian to
cast that spell, or cast it when controlling it,
centered on the Custodian, without expending any spell
slots. Once you do so, you can't again until you finish a long
rest.
Enhanced Servos
Prerequisites: 6th level
The Custodian gains a climbing speed of 20 feet and its
walking speed increases by 10 feet. In addition, you can
enter and exit the Custodian as a bonus action, rather than
an action.
Fortified Battery
Prerequisites: 14th level
Choose two evocation spells that are on the artificer spell
list. While you are within 15 feet of the Custodian, they
always count as prepared for you. The Custodian now
counts as an object for the purposes of your Spell-Storing
Item ability.
Explosives Dispenser
Prerequisites: 6th level
The Custodian can use a bonus action to activate a
directed explosives barrage. You can distribute up to four
marks that dictate the explosives' targets. A target must be
within 60 feet of the Custodian and be visible to it. For each
mark placed on a target, make a spell attack roll against the
it. On a hit, the target takes 1d4 fire damage and 1d6
bludgeoning damage, or half that on a miss.
Once you use this ability, you can't do so again until you
finish a short or long rest. Alternatively, you can expend a
spell slot of 1st level or higher to use this ability, targeting
creatures equal to twice the spell level.
Hardened Plating
Prerequisites: 6th level
The Custodian becomes immune to nonmagical damage
that comes from the environment, such as natural lava,
acid or gas. In addition, the Custodian gains temporary hit
points equal to your level upon finishing a short or long
rest.
Improved Impact
Prerequisites: none
The Custodian deals double damage to objects and
structures, and hitting a creature smaller than it with a
melee attack pushes the target 5 feet away from the
Custodian.
Internal Detonator
Prerequisites: 14th level
As an action, you can cause the Custodian to initiate a
self-destruct sequence. If you are controlling the Custodian,
you are teleported to a point it can see within 30 feet of it.
At the end of your next turn, the Custodian detonates,
instantly killing it. All creatures within 20 feet of the
Custodian must make a Dexterity saving throw (DC = your
spell save DC + 2), taking 6d8 fire damage and 6d8 force
damage on a failed save, or half that on a successful save.
If you attempt to revive the Custodian after using this
ability, you must expend at least 5 levels worth of spell slots
in order to successfully revive it.
Vortex Capture System
Prerequisite: 10th level
As an action, the Custodian can create a 10-foot cone in
the direction it's facing until the end of its next turn. Any
ranged weapon attack that passes through the cone
becomes negated, and when the cone vanishes, you can
make one ranged attack (as described in the Custodian
statblock) against a creature you can see for every
ranged attack negated in this way.
Once the Custodian uses this ability, it can't do so again
until you finish a short or long rest, or you expend an
artificer spell slot as part of the ability.
VTOL Launcher
Prerequisites: 10th level
The Custodian can use its action to gain a flying speed of
20 feet until the end of its next turn. This increases to 30
feet if you are controlling the Custodian.
Titanic Custodian
Large construct, unaligned
Armor Class 10 + the Custodian's Constitution
modifier + your Intelligence modifier (natural
armor)
Hit Points Your Intelligence score + 5 times your
Artificer level
Speed 30 ft.
Custodian Weapons
The attacks in the Titanic Custodian statblock reflect the
basic attacks available to it; if you wish to use other
weapons (such as melee weapons), some concepts are
displayed below.
Using Premade Weapons
Generally, any weapon that is sized for giants can be used
by a Custodian effectively. Unless a weapon is made
specifically for a Custodian, however, it is not proficient
with the weapon, and therefore suffers a -1 penalty to
attack rolls with the weapon unless time is taken to give it
proficiency in the weapon.
Making Melee Weapons
If you spend a total of 8 hours using your smiths's tools
making a melee weapon for your Custodian, you can
choose one type of melee weapon in the Equipment section
of the Player's Handbook. You must also expend an amount
of gold pieces equal to ten times the weapon's cost in order
to acquire the resources needed to make it.
The weapon's weight increases by a factor of fifteen, and
the weapon's damage dice increases by one tier, to a
maximum of 1d12. If the weapon's damage dice was
already 1d12, it increases to 2d8.
The attack deals an additional 1d4 force damage on a
hit, regardless of the weapon. This ability is innate to the
Custodian, and requires no proficiency or additional
requirement.
