Savant

As an Artificer following the Scholar subclass, your mastery lies in blending the worlds of academia and invention. Your magic is not sourced from arcane secrets or ancient pacts, but from your keen intellect and innovative creations. By channeling your scholarly expertise, you become a versatile problem-solver, utilizing your inventions to overcome challenges and unravel the mysteries of the world.

Inventive Casting

Starting at 3rd level, your magical abilities manifest through your inventions. All spells you cast are flavored as creations and contraptions. For example, casting "Bless" might involve deploying mechanical devices that emit an aura of protective energy, while "Fireball" could be an explosive invention launched from a specialized apparatus. The effects remain the same mechanically, but the flavor reflects your inventive approach.

Field Expert

At 3rd level, your scholarly pursuits have granted you expertise in a particular field of study. Choose one of the following options: Archaeology, Medicine, History, Nature, or any other appropriate area of expertise approved by your Dungeon Master. This choice grants you specific bonuses tied to your chosen field.

• Archaeology: You gain the ability to make a single investigation check to gleam information from text you cannot read, but may have seen before in text books. Once used, you cannot gleam more information from the same text. DC determined by rarity of the language to the DM's discretion. You also gain proficiency with investigation checks.

• Medicine: You gain proficiency with Herbalism Kit, and when you use a Healer's Kit to stabilize a creature, they also regain 1 hit point. You also gain expertise in medicine checks.

• History: You gain expertise in the History skill, and you have advantage on History checks relating to ancient lore or forgotten civilizations.

• Nature: You gain expertise in Nature skill, and you can gain advantage on Intelligence (Nature) checks to identify or track creatures.

• Custom Option: Work with your Dungeon Master to create a specialized field of study that fits your character concept, providing appropriate bonuses and abilities related to that field.

Scholar Spells

You always have certain spells prepared after you reach particular levels in this class, as shown in the Scholar Spells table. These spells count as artificer spells for you, but they don’t count against the number of artificer spells you prepare.

Spell
3rd - detect magic, identify
5th - knock, locate object
9th - glyph of warding, nondetection
13th - arcane eye, confusion
17th - legend lore, scrying

Extra Attack

You can attack twice, rather than once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

Ingenious Tools

At 6th level, your expertise with tools reaches new heights. You can use your bonus action to magically summon a set of specialized tools related to your chosen Field Expertise. These tools function as appropriate artisans' or tool kits and allow you to gain advantage on ability checks made with them. The tools disappear after use or when you dismiss them as a bonus action. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Proficiency bonus.

Analytical Mind

At 10th level, your scholarly pursuits have honed your mind into a powerful instrument of analysis and deduction. You may choose one of the following abilities:

Keen Observation: You have advantage on Intelligence (Investigation) and Wisdom (Perception) checks. Additionally, you can use your reaction to make an Intelligence (Investigation) check when you or a creature you can see within 30 feet of you fails an ability check. On a success, you can provide guidance or insight, granting the creature advantage on the next ability check it makes before the end of its next turn. You can do this equal to your intelligence modifier, regaining all charges on a long rest.

Analytical Instincts: You have an uncanny ability to anticipate and understand patterns. When a creature makes an attack against you or a creature you can see within 30 feet of you, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on the attack roll. You can use this ability a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a short or long rest. In addition, you may choose to reroll a failed ability check after the results have been determined equal to your proficiency bonus reset on a long rest.

Master Scholar

Upon reaching 14th level, your years of dedication to academia and invention have granted you unparalleled mastery. Choose one of the following abilities:

• Eureka!: Once per long rest, when you fail an ability check or saving throw, you can choose to reroll it. You must use the new roll. Additionally, if you have advantage on an ability check or saving throw, you can choose to forgo it and gain proficiency in that skill or saving throw until you finish a short rest.

• Inventor's Insight: You gain proficiency in two skills of your choice. Furthermore, your proficiency bonus is added to the damage of your spells or Artificer infusions that deal damage.

As a Scholar, your relentless pursuit of knowledge drives your inventions, and your inventions fuel your quest for understanding. Whether it's unearthing ancient secrets or revolutionizing medical practices, your inventive mind allows you to shape the world through the power of your intellect and creativity.
