HOW TO PLAY ARTIFICER

[Music] if you're an artificer like I am maybe you've dipped into the sage background or entertainer and you love to write and you like to build worlds then may I suggest to you big whiteboard so updated she's a big whiteboard Zack and just drawing right you're just there it goes as you can see this is the starting city there we go there we go okay anyways um so here's my path just don't go any further north I didn't have any more room some of these have other notes there in this book right here hold both the same time here is this easy to see I hope this is easy to see let me get to another book where I also have more notes and I'm gonna be putting in to lose the war landfill ever heard of World anvil it's probably the easiest way to manage your RPG campaigns including Dungeons and Dragons you can use all the little tabs to organize all the homebrew nonsense you've put into your games Oh perfect a cubby for diseases the app also has an explorer tool that allows you to search all the notes you've put into your world like a wiki and the best feature in my opinion is the map tool where you can import your maps and can put down landmarks that you can share with your players your players can also make characters get started today with world anvil link in the description and comments so you're gonna play our tifus er huh in the last ad campaign you were a wizard with 300 magic items and now you've started over again a level one and are like gym master I'm gonna take my alchemy jug and get the entire tavern drunk and then while they're asleep I'm going to take anything that can't be bolted down and shove it into my bag holding are you level two uh-huh [Music] sorry sorry I guess what I meant to say is the artificer is a support utility spell casting and fighting class that creates magic items has lots of skills and uses tools - wait wait wait what way what the [ __ ] can't this class do what cast sixth level spells oh well I guess that's fair here's how to play artificer so big thing with artificer is that most of their abilities are you making small objects that you craft so for example a healing spell would be a symptom or a acid splashes literally you eating a bottle of acid on one hand I really like this because it allows the player to flavor all their abilities to be cool little inventions that are unique to the artificer on the other hand I think you need to be creative when you play this class when you play an artificer think about their style and how their abilities will look don't just go well I can do this stuff now and I don't even know what it looks like I think this is the biggest reason why this class is such a jack-of-all-trades because the class wants you to be creative and to custom build what your artificer would do all I'm saying is that the main masters can role in this class and suck my level 1 you get magical tinkering in spell casting magical tinkering you pick up a spoon mug copy of fallout 76 or any other mundane object and give it magical properties such as attaching a lasso or a recorded message or sound smells a static visual effect that appears in one of the targets surface areas all okay so artificers basically just get a iPhone at level 1 granted they can't put all the effects on one object but can have as many effects on different objects equal to their intelligence modifier so you have the brand new iPhone 18 that instead of being on all one device all the features are now split among the coasters that you got from the dollar store spell casting our Tiffa sirs can cast spells much like the Ranger in what I said earlier these spells should be flavored as magical items or inventions that have the same properties of spells in fact you can do this with any class so long as your DM is ok with it this is a really great thing to do for 5e and I commend he artificer for challenging us to be imaginative most of the spells you get as an artificer are really fitting like shocking grasp heat metal and grease our Tiffa sirs get healing spells to make them a bit of a support class if that's what you want to do for your artificer but I couldn't understand why our Tiffa sirs would get reified bringing someone back to life is kind of the clerics job but revista Phi's the one that works only after a minute so you basically have a defibrillator or an adrenaline shot and it could be like that scene from Pulp Fiction level to infuse item you pick another regular old item and can infuse it up to two for now oh then you pick from the infusions below kneel to get three for now Oh customization and some of the infusions include magical weapons or replicating things like bags of holding oh I forgot you're broken I don't want to play with you anymore okay well this ability may seem pretty overpowered at level two you have to remember that you're restricted to the infusions you pick and you can change which infusions affect which items at the end of a long rest wait that's just even more powerful basically it looks all fine and dandy to be like mr. DM sir I can make plus one 1 A plus 1 weapon and a bag of holding but I can only have two at a time so I'll just keep the wand and the weapon and then one long rest later and you're handing a bag of holding to the encumbered player and the DM is staring at you like you just stole the last cookie from the cookie jar if we want to ramp it up a bit at level 6 you could give yourself the fighter and the Ranger repeating crossbows these repeating crossbows ignore the loading property and use no ammunition and basically turn you into the machine-gun Brigade luring a monster around the corner only to be met with the firing squad of doom with 6 attacks all that magical plus 1 with a deep tank damage this is a really nitty gritty thing to do but that's an average of about 54 damage with a maximum of 84 damage Oh paladin's crit average is still at about 32 to 48 damage level 2 so I guess this balances out like I said this class is more of a fun flavorful way to make magical tinkling if you min/max it you'll break it y'all know you can easily break my artificer class all stop being a hypocrite in any case this ability is pretty cool you basically get to infuse items with magical abilities some have level requirements and some are just full-on magic items every one fits you fancy is the one that you should pick level 3 artificer specialist and tool expertise or tifus or specialist this is your subclass we've got alchemists this one makes me giddy because I've always wanted to play an alchemist in D&D and now I kind of can you gain proficiency with alchemy supplies and herbalism kits you can craft potions and half the time and you also gain spells like purify food and drink ray of sickness Asadero web create food and water stink and cloud blight deathlord cloud kill and raise dead which can all be flavored as potions or all chemical concoctions which is [ __ ] cool this is basically the support subclass for the artificer and you'll gain resistance to acid and poison and the to cast lesser and greater restoration you also get a little homunculus buddy full metal alchemist joke archivist while the other subclasses may be worried about crafting potions or weapons your skills are utilized in creating artificial minds and intelligence with arcane science is used to store information ok you'll gain proficiency with calligraphers supplies and forgery kits you can craft magic scrolls in half the time you also learn spells like comprehend languages dissonant whispers tech thoughts locate object hypnotic pattern tongues locate creature phantasmal killer legend Lord and modify memory personally I think that most of these spells should be a casted via book or maybe they could be casted via AI what I don't know personally I don't know how you cast tongues your implants you also gain a little AI buddy that can share his proficiencies with you huh how sweet you can also summon forth the intelligence itself as an invulnerable being of knowledge and can cast spells from it you can also channel it to overload people's brains oh ok oh ok ok you can also telepathically communicate with people using the AI and overload people's brains to a point where they are stunned artillerist you're a war monger artificer made for crafting explosives you gain proficiency with Smith's tools and wood carvers tools and can use rods wands and staffs for your focus penis joke crafting magic wands takes a quarter of the time and half the cost you get battle spells such as shield thunder wave scorching ray shattered fireball wind wall ice storm wall of fire cone of cold and wall of force you also get to summon a turret that you could put on any space in front of you there's a flamethrower ballista and defender which gives people temporary HP when standing next to it and if that doesn't work use more gun take for instance this heavy caliber tripod-mounted little ol number 2 by me built but me and you best hope not pointed at you you also get a gun wand because a burr on battle Smith this is like if you mixed alchemists with the artillerists together to make a support battle defender guy you gain proficiency with leather workers tools Smith's tools crafting magic armor takes quarter of the time and half the cost you also gain spells like heroism searing smite branding smite warding bond or a vitality blinding smite aura of purity staggering smite banishing smite and mascara wounds got dang that's more smite there and a paladin they're not really spiked cuz here on our tiffith certain to probably something different I I don't know you power up your sword or something if you want to see somebody play this exact subclass go check out tesseract on arcane arcade Paul plays a guy who's this guy you can use your intelligence modifier for attack and damage rolls on magical weapons and you get an iron defender which is modeled after an animal and can do lots of damage and take lots of hits at level 3 you get tool expertise you get to have expertise in your tool proficiencies because can't have enough [ __ ] tool level 5 arcane armament you get extra text along as use a magical weapon dense level the right can't rip for the job I love this name you can replace your can trips on the long rest hey that's actually that's pretty neat I like the name I like the ability is cool one I like this dad add 10 18th level you can store first or second level spells into items yeah they appear so detects squad go xx so love artifice at 20th level you understeer did you prepare poo at 20th level your understanding of magic items is unmatched allowing you to mingle your soul with items linked to you you can tune up to six magic items at once in addition you gain a +1 to all saving throws by magic item you're currently attuned to this this is what our differences are well wait this is actually relatively cool and really balanced huh a good level twenty ability cool so that's it that's the end of the video but that's also kind of the end of this series this is I mean that's all the classes crossed off not to play them all so I did it I did it for you Abdulrahman you were the one who coming to done broke saying I better do every classic I did it so there you go this is a lot of fun and this series was really it was really tough to me but it was also there's a lot of challenges in order to make these videos and I didn't want to stick to him for a long time but I know everybody liked them and I know if people would necessarily like some of the jokes and I rewrote a lot of episodes regardless regardless it's been a really long journey finishing these episodes of the how to play series and there may be more in the future of something else but this is kind of the end of these specific videos the class videos that are me poorly and weirdly explaining all these classes and I just wanna say thank you thank you for sticking with me behind all of these videos and for enjoying all of them and and commenting on all of them and always type in first whenever they got uploaded so I don't know what's in the future I have a lot of things I want to do with this channel that expands outside of Dungeons and Dragons I would love to make some somewhat videogame videos and do something along the lines of that but I hope you guys stick with me for the future because I have a lot more planned than just these videos but I just want to say thank you through all the shitty songs and all of the editing and craziness that is going on with these videos and of course world--a in full for sponsoring almost half of them I just want to say thank you and I'll see you next time
