The fact you find a picture that fits every topic must take quite the effort. I must say, it is very pleasing to watch with that classic ymbaDND ethusiasm and humor!
Tendency to make chemical projectile propellant aside, Artificer is a class built around creating and using magic items. They absolutely fit into D&D. And if you're going to point at intricate mechanisms as too advanced, I'm going to point to high level dungeon traps and even massive sprawling mechanisms like the interlocking rotating room puzzles in Tomb of Annihilation. D&D has magical airships, animated armors, biopunk starships, and more. Artificers belong.
Quick tip about Spell Storing item: An Artillerist can do the following with this feature because Artificers can make any item that can be used as an arcane focus a spell storing item. Why this matters is because ANY infused item in an Artificer's hands is an Arcane Focus. Because of this rule, the following options are possible: Improved arcane focus of scorching ray/ shatter. Enjoy your new ray gun/ grenade launcher! Cloak of elvenkind with invisibility: You now have an invisibility cloak! Boots of elvenkind with invisibility: Click your heels and turn invisible with the benefit of having muffled footsteps! Homunculus servant with scorching ray/ shatter/ Thunderwave: Enjoy your own personal attack drone that can fire powerful attack spells on your bonus action! Bag of holding with catapult: Launch your stored items out with impressive force! Homunculus servant of cure wounds: MEDIC! Homunculus servant of Vortex Warp: Pocket Teleporter! Arcane focus of heat metal: Probably the best debuff spell in the game. Try it out! This becomes even more fun if your DM allows you to use extra charges to upcast. Either way, have fun with this info fellow gremlins! P.s.( Make LOTS of wands of magic missiles for your party. They are only uncommon, and are therefore easy for an Artificer to make. Keep in mind that your homunculus servant may be able to use these wands as well. Javelins of lightning are also uncommon. Allow your party fighter to cosplay as Zeus!)
I can’t think of a better subclass for the Izzet League of Ravnica. In fact, All artificer subclasses are perfect for this Guild.
I'm not sure which sounds more fun; roving sentry guns that blast your enemies while you sit back and relax- or having them mounted on your shoulders so you can blast them with a shoulder cannon as you run around like a mad-man.
I play a lvl 6 Forest Gnome Artillerist and I LOVE IT! My dude renders the fat from animal products to fuel his fire-based attacks. He's always walking around with pocket bacon and once created a bomb using a whole roasted pig.😂
Great to see you post again, glad I found your vids. The first I watched was eldritch knight.
Listen. I'm an Artificer. That means I solve problems. Not problems like "What is a Half Gnome Half Giant, cause that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of race. I solve practical problems.
My artillerist is a bio-tinker who crafts items out of living seafood. Every contraption is some kind of fish or other sea creature with various modifications.
Hello sir long time listener right here I love your videos please keep doing them do as many and all subclasses as you can because this is helping me a lot to introduce d&d to a lot of friends
To GMs who can't possibly rationalize Artificers being in D&D, Tita Russell, what is basically a Human Artillerist, is in a fantasy-themed Setting. Trails in the Sky is extremely cool and this is one of the reasons why. It even makes Artificers work.
I feel like a perfect descriptor for this subclass is, "Your hearing loss is not service-related". Of course, you won't hear anybody say this, because you got that "Beeeeeeeeeeep" banger rocking around in your earholes 24/7.
You gotta do Zealot Barbarians!! I love all your videos either way though!
Oddly enough I was looking for this video earlier today and thought "it be nice if he covered artillerist too, oh well"
1:21 WHAT THE Hell is That? That is indeed nightmare fuel way more than Aranea pictures of older editions
If you take one lvl in wizard you can take the find familiar spell. Now get a flying familiar and attach the small version of your canon to familiar, instant air support.
This came up after watching dnd shorts on fixing guns. How awesome YouTube!
I've been waiting so long for this one
Artillerist is great for my current game, as its a wildwest setting, i also took the gunner feat, so i can barrel stuff people with wild abandon
