Artificer - Mortis Engineer

Added 2024-12-01 21:43:31 +0000 UTC

Hello good hunter,

As promised an artificer subclass that is compatible with Steinhardt's Guide to the Eldritch Hunt

And as promised it is free.

This subclass blends necromancy and mad science. Reanimate corpses, command undead minions, and wield devastating lightning on the battlefield.

I also included the Corpse Bag magic item to carry your undead army, which you can craft with your magic item infusion

Here's a breakdown of the subclass' main features:

Reanimate corpses as zombies by driving electrified rods into their nervous systems.
Zombies gain temporary hit points, and a bonus to attack and damage rolls equal to your Intelligence modifier.
Control up to 2 zombies at once (increasing up to 4 by level 17). They explode with lightning when destroyed, damaging nearby enemies.

Swap Necrotic damage for Lightning damage (or vice versa) with your spells.
Your zombies can deliver touch-range spells for you, letting you stay out of harm’s way.
Zombies gain enhanced mobility (40 ft speed) and a System Overload ability to stun enemies with repeated shocks.

Animate multiple zombies at once with your lightning spells, provided you have enough corpses.
Enhance your zombies with metallic shells, granting them improved AC, saving throws, and immunity to Lightning damage.

Transform a zombie into a Flesh Golem for 1 minute, supercharging it with electrical energy.
When the golem dies, it explodes in a massive burst of Lightning damage, devastating everything nearby.

Take Care!
