Artificer Specialization: Mechanist

ADD TO WISHLIST >

A Mech-Piloting Specialization for the Artificer Class!


Build and pilot a modular battle suit with this new specialization for the Artificer class! Mechanists can fit in across the worlds of D&D, from engineers of Eberron's House Cannith pushing the boundaries of the same technology that created the warforged, to the frenzied inventors of Ravnica's Izzet League, designing haphazard and mismatched constructs to add to their guild's arsenal.

The mechanist presents over 30 upgrades to mix and match, to build exactly the battle suit you want. For example, an unstopable wrecking machine using the heavy armor and dozer shields upgrades, a battle suit with airtight and submersible upgrades, armed with a harpoon, for a deep-diving kraken-hunter, or a suit with stabilisers and armed with the elemental beam for a crawling weapons platform!

How does this align since the release of Tasha?

Hi, the Artificer release in Tasha's Cauldron should work just fine with this - it was designed with the version published in Eberron, and should still work with the version in Tasha's.

Hi, I have a question concerning the wording of the 'Airtight' Upgrade on page 5. It says that the pilot is 'immune to acid, cold, fire, etc. damage originating from outside the suit'. Does this include spells cast on the suit itself? For example, if someone were to cast the spell 'Heat Metal' on the battle suit, would the pilot still be protected by the upgrade?

Hi,
Great product. It’s the 4th thing you’ve made that I’ve currently purchased. I have a few questions.


on Pg.3; “inside your battle suit, you have 3/4 cover against attacks and other effects outside the battle suit”

The battle suit has AC 15. 3/4 cover provides a +5 bonus to AC. Does this mean that it’s AC 15 to target the battle suit and AC 20 to attempt to target the mechanist directly? I assume area effect spells can still effect the mechanist but they get +5 to their dex save due to 3/4 cover?

Pg.4 Mechanized mastery
“When you reach 9th level ........Your battle suit can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the attack action on your turn using the battle suit. Additionally, while piloting a battle suit, you can take any of the following bonus actions on your turn:
......... - make a melee attack with the battlesuit.”

Does this mean the mechanist could potentially; have two ranged attacks & one bonus...See more

Hi there, thanks for the kind words!

The 3/4 cover is granted only to the pilot, so it'd be the pilots normal AC based on whatever armor they're wearing, +5 while they're inside the battle suit. Area of effect spells will still affect the mechanist while piloting the battle suit, but yes, the pilot would gain the +5 bonus to Dexterity saves.

Mechanised Mastery does allow an additional melee attack with the battle suit, regardless of how the mechanist has spent their action that turn, meaning yes, you'd be able to make 2 other attack with the battle suit's melee or ranged weapons, or cast a spell with an action as its casting time.

The eldritch volley cannon, elemental beam, elemental cone and harpoon can only be used once per round due to the recharge element of each of these upgrades, so if a mechanist wanted to make two ranged attack during their turn they would indeed need two of the above options (thus the option to install two eldritch volley cannons onto a battle suit)....See more

I don't know if I missed something. What are the Strength and Dexterity stats for suits. It just has stars (*) where the numbers should be.

It's brought up in the Artificer's Handiwork ability on the battle suit's statblock - the suit's Strength and Constitution scores are equal to the artificer's Intelligence score.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
