Creating an Artificer
Artificers rely on their understanding of every item around them, and their ability to enhance those items such that they perform far beyond any reasonable expectations, to survive and prosper. Their greatest powers are time-consuming and require delicate manipulation, and so artificers reward cautious play and careful planning, making Intelligence of prime importance. Many artificers rely on Wisdom to enhance their understanding, while others rely on their Constitution to allow them to support more magical ties.
Battlesmith Artificer
You spend some of your preparation time augmenting your armor and weapons in a more thorough fashion than you do with other equipment. As such, you are more capable of going toe-to-toe with your foes and rely on your augmented abilities to see you through situations other artificers could not manage.

Artificer Class Features
Artificers have the following class features.

Artificer Feature
You channel the energy of your infusion into your target's armor, providing lasting protection.
Encounter
Arcane
Minor Action
Close burst 5
Target: You or one ally in burst
Effect: The target gains a +1 power bonus to AC until the end of the encounter, and you expend an infusion crafted with your Healing Infusion class feature. The target can end the bonus as a free action to gain temporary hit points equal to its healing surge value + your Constitution modifier.
Level 11: Temporary hit points equal to the target's healing surge value + twice your Constitution modifier.
Level 21: Temporary hit points equal to the target's healing surge value + three times your Constitution modifier.
Special: You can use two Healing Infusion powers per encounter, but only one per round. At 16th level, you can use three Healing Infusion powers per encounter, but only one per round.
Arcane Empowerment
Whenever you take a short or an extended rest, you can attune a number of weapons or armor equal to your Intelligence modifier. These attunements last until you next rest. Whenever you use a power with the Empower keyword on a creature bearing one of these items, you empower them until the end of your next turn.
Empowering a weapon grants a power bonus to damage rolls equal to your Constitution or Wisdom modifier. Empowering armor grants temporary hit points equal to your Constitution or Wisdom modifier. If a target affected by your arcane empowerment bears both attuned weapons and armor, they receive both bonuses.
Combat Preparations
The division between artificers who spend some of their attention empowering themselves, as opposed to those who focus on their allies and make do with whichever small tools they themselves can manage, is one of the key differences between artificers.
Choose a method of combat preparations. The choice you make gives you several benefits and also provides bonuses to certain artificer powers, as detailed in those powers.
- Alchemical Preparations: During an extended rest, you can create a number of alchemical items of your level or lower equal to your Intelligence modifier at no cost. Each time you reach another milestone, you may create an additional item during a short rest. These alchemical concoctions are fragile, and fade to uselessness when you take an extended rest. In addition, you can use alchemical items whenever you are allowed to make a ranged basic attack.
- Battle Enhancements: You gain a +1 bonus to AC when wielding a melee weapon, and can use Intelligence instead of Strength for making melee basic attacks. In addition, you gain proficiency with military melee weapons.
- Seeking Bolts: When making a weapon attack with a crossbow, you have combat advantage against any creature adjacent to an empowered ally. In addition, you gain Speed Loader as a bonus feat.
Healing Infusion
You gain the Healing Infusion: Curative Admixture and Healing Infusion: Resistive Formula powers. You can create healing infusions for later use. At the end of an extended rest, you create two healing infusions that last until the end of your next extended rest. At 16th level, you instead create three healing infusions.
You determine the effect of a healing infusion at the time you use the power, not at the time you create it. When you use a Healing Infusion power, you expend one of the infusions you created during your last extended rest. During a short rest, you or an ally can spend a healing surge to replenish one of the infusions expended.
Ritual Casting
You gain the Ritual Caster feat as a bonus feat, allowing you to use magical rituals.
About Artificer Powers
Many artificer powers have an additional effect - empowering - upon characters bearing items you have specially prepared ahead of time. For ease of reading, the phrase "an attuned creature" means "a creature bearing an item you have attuned".
