Davvy's D&D 5e Artificer Infusions Guide

[@Gomjibar]

How did you (or your DM) rule with thespellwrought tattoo? That you knew "spellwrought tattoo" and when you created it you chose the spell, or when you got it you knew "spellwrought tattoo: Hex"? I would hope it would be the second option, as that would allow you to get multiple different ones (and create more with normal magic item crafting as you now know how it is made) but I haven't seen an official ruling... Also, in games were you have long time gaps, Pot of Awakening is another great one, as you can continuously roll out awakened shrubs and with the Tasha's companions features or some interesting builds to give them more power you can grow your own army.

[@mrjacob7795]

@@ok0then As a general rule the magic items available for Artificer infusions are never consumable items. I suppose it can be house ruled but I think magic item infusions are intended to be of a more "Permanent until dismantled" nature. Obviously the exploding horn stands out from this tendency but it's not so much as being "consumed" as experiencing a "catastrophic misfire!" But that's just my observation, you do you my friend!!!

[@jones81381]

Like he said in the beginning of the video, because with the exception of some generally good for everyone infusions like Cloak of Protection, the artificer infusions are entirely situational and giving them a general ranking compared to one another is impossible. There may be some situations where the Boots of Striding and Springing are the best option and other situations where they are the worst. It really depends on the party makeup, what the campaign is, where the party is or where they expect to be going, and what they expect to be fighting.

Also, our BBEG is fond of using Simulacrums, Illusions, and Invisibility. Dealing with him has been AGGRAVATING, and this new magic item is a HARD counter to all his tricks.

technically you can't take enhanced defense twice, since (with the exception of replicate magic item) you can't take any infusion more than once. That said, you could take either of the 6th level infusions that increase defense to a similar effect.

[@PrinceNikkoTethlar]

you dont need to have it take two of your Infusions Known, once you have it, you're allowed to infuse as many objects with the infusions you Know up to your infusion slots. So if you have say, both Bag of Holding and Radiant weapon as infusions known, but only 3 infusion slots, you're allowed to make 3 bags of holding and maintain them at a time, but you wouldnt beable to add Radiant Weapon to anything until you stop maintaining one of the bags.

Not strictly, i mean the included weapon is different and does not stack with your existing weapons, you can punch either thunderously or forcefully, not both at the same time

[@anniedarkheart5224]

Guardian Armor Thunder Gauntlet and Fire Bolt vs Arcane Propulsion Gauntlet, ignoring all of the extra utility provided by the former: Armorer's Int to Attack and Damage applies to Thunder Gauntlet and Lightning Launcher specifically. If you tried to use the Arcane Propulsion Gauntlet's ranged attack as an Armorer, you'd have to use Strength (thrown, not finesse). If your Int mod is +1 or better than your Str mod, then the Thunder Gauntlet is better, and that is if you don't use Enhanced Weapon on the Thunder Gauntlet (which you can do, unlike Arcane Propulsion Gauntlet) which would further widen the gap. If you had a 20 str and 14 int, then using Arcane Prop Gauntlet would be the infusion to use instead of Enhanced Weapon on the Thunder Gauntlet. This also means you don't get the chance to +2 your armor, as a Guardian Armorer, there's a decent chance you'd do since you can't Arcane Prop Armor a magical armor anyway. As a 14th level Infusion, level11 Firebolt would deal 16.5 average damage vs Arcane Propulsion Gauntlet's 4.5+Str. At level14 you would need to hit both attacks with +4 damage to beat an average hit of Fire Bolt. At level17 where Fire Bolt goes to 4d10 (22 average), you would need +7 damage and hit both attacks to beat Fire Bolt as a ranged attack. It's hard for the Arcane Gauntlet to hold a candle to the standard Armorer attacks, in addition to the utility they bring (Disadvantage to hitting allies, Displacement+Reaction attacks next level, higher Fire Bolt ranges, using Int before level14, using Int for Lightning Launcher)

I am not sure if everyone considers it worth the infusion but the extra attack that does scale with you spell casting stats is really nice. I will grant Battle Smith and Artillerist use their bonus action for other things but if you want to weaponize your bonus action as a Alchemist or Armorer like me then by all means. In addition to basically the same usefulness as a familiar.

[@companyoflosers]

I would like to remind people that it only requires ONE bonus action to command a homunculus if you are smart about it. If you command it to "attack hostile creatures" it will keep doing that until it is either dead or there are none left and doesn't actually require subsequent bonus actions to keep doing. You only need spend the bonus action on the initial command and whenever you want to change the command to something else.

That depends a lot on the domain, most of them would only be "tanky" when compared to an archetypical sorcerer or wizard

For example a eldritch knight fighter has really good AC and good HP, but has crap all in the way of healing and only has indominable to bolster their saving throws. On the other hand a paladin has a bit lower AC equal HP great saving throws thanks to aura of protection and access to some semi reliable healing.

@@NobodyDungeons no man is an island, the cleric's self-healing is also their other-people-healing and is expected to be distributed across the party wherever it is needed (the only place self-heals would be valid as contributing to tankitude IMO is with life domain, vampiric touch and champion fighters as they specifically heal you, not anyone else). Unless of course you abstract "tanking" as "protecting party members from harm, absorbing blows meant for them" where healing overall would play a huge role to tank potency and where abjuration wizards are king and were the cleric would be the tankiest bitch in the game

You glossed over the bag of holding, which as a infusion has some major implications. Note, when you reinfuse your old infusions stop functioning. It does explicitly say when the bag becomes non magical the contents are placed in the spaces around the bag harmlessly, but if those spaces are say, suspended in the air then gravity takes over. Pair with the mayo creation of the alchemy jug for a once per month(the amount of time it takes a alchemy jug to completely fill a bag of holding) rancid mayo bomb.

It doesn't work nearly like this. 1. You can have specific Infusion only on a single object at a time. So no "8 bags of holding". 2. You can't infuse *any* Infusion on your power armor, only those that can be applied to specific parts of it, which are listed in the feature description. You can't Infuse parts of your armor as Bags of Holding. 3. There are no "+3" Infusions. Max AC bonus you get is +2.

I'm really, really hoping for more non replicate magical item infusions in the future. What we get isn't bad for a first foray mind, but there's a lot of overlap. As a DM I would say that if you can replicate it you can craft it wholesale.

[@defensivekobra3873]

Yeah, that would be a much needed boost, since right now a 1st-9th level artificer is no better at crafting magic items than a fighter with proficiency in smith's tools

[@Wanderingsage7]

@@defensivekobra3873 I mean, you'd still have to provide the money and crafting time

[@companyoflosers]

maybe but that take a LONG time and a LOT of money. at most I might cut the time and money needed to craft some magic items by a little, but it still needs to be a challenge otherwise the party will be running around with WAY too many magic items.

[@Wanderingsage7]

@@companyoflosers I've thought about homebrew starting that part of the ability earlier and staggering it throughout. Like level 6, common and uncommon, level 10 rare and very rare, level 17 legendary... with each addition lowering the time of the lower tiers to a day minimum...? Iunno

THANKS DAV

[@Neutral_Tired]

08:37 not much of a caveat tbh, they do it magically, continue to function as normal lungs even in an antimagic zone (though they lose any other magic benefits when in such a location) and when removed your real lungs magically reappear. If anything they're better than the amulet because it's not exactly easy to steal someone's lungs

[@yushakader4991]

That is unless you’re in an asdf video

[@Ryu_D]

Thank you for the video.

[@cloudfair2]

I was a bit disappointed by the high level items the artificer could make because by the time you get there you either already found one or it’s just not very useful at that level.

[@franknova987]

This is gonna be fun!

[@SpungeySays]

So I had a discussion with my DM not to long ago about stacking the AC Bonus infusions and if they would stack. We couldn't really come to a conclusion on that though.

[@antongrigoryev6381]

You can have only one object with specific Infusion, so you can't spend literally all your slots on AC. And you can put only one Infusion on a single object. Everything you can do *does* stack, however, just like normal magic items. And I don't think it would be broken. You can get max +5 AC from your Infusions, which sounds like a lot, until you remember that Infusions are applied *instead* of magic items (you can't Infuse already magical item), so if your DM is at least somewhat generous, any character can get similar bonus.

[@SpungeySays]

@@antongrigoryev6381 Well take Enhanced Defense for your armor, Repulsion Shield, and Replicate Magic Item (Cloak of Protection). Could you get the AC Bonus from all three items at once?

[@antongrigoryev6381]

@@SpungeySays Of course. Why not? And Ring of Defence too. As I said, just as with normal magic items. You're limited only by attunement slots.

[@SpungeySays]

@@antongrigoryev6381 isnt there a rule about bonuses not stacking?

[@antongrigoryev6381]

@@SpungeySays There's a rule about AC *calculations* not stacking. If an ability such as Unarmored defense or item, such as a set of armor, says "Your AC equals...", then it does not stack with other such abilities. If an item or ability just gives you bonus AC ("You get +1 AC"), then it *does* stack, both with AC calculations and with other AC bonuses.

[@Elitegameing-tr2wv]

You say here that you can put enhanced defense on the shield and armor but you can’t only one of each infusion except for replicate magic item

[@AdventuresHobbies]

How many infusions can artificer do in a day? I understand they can only have x number active but does that mean that they can repetitively infuse items throughout the day cause they just changed their mind or were showing how for coin over and over. Where does that state that?

[@anyoneatall3488]

What do you think of the kittlestasty's alternate artificer?

[@Lngbrdninjamasta]

"In-fus-ion ha!"

[@DaniMartVTen]

Wizarding Wand Battles are the original No-Scoping. Prove Me Wrong.

[@mralexbooth]

At level 4 I can have 2 infused items at a time and 4 known items all together. My question is, can I flip flop through my known infusions through out the day? Or can I only choose the 2 for the day and have to wait for a long rest to change my infused items?

[@charger1369]

You can't flip flop, you have to pick which ones are active at the end of a Long Rest.

[@sanguiniusonvacation1803]

Between this and nile reds videos my Ratman Artificer has been running around in my friends game and having a ball . Right now in trying to figure out how to build wrist rockets for the monk.

[@KayDeeKeySull]

Me, noticing that the list of patron names are in the colors of the ace flag: that's neat! (Probably a coincidence but ehhhh i don't care💜)

[@anthonynorman7545]

I'm not the only one who thought that!

[@magicmaster9957]

davvy you are my favorite youtuber. but please start doing D&D play streams

[@isaackarr6576]

Spell send a friend. This spell turns your friend into a small projectile. Thes spells range and damage work like this the spell level adds 10 feet to its range. Your spell modifier adds 5 feet to it's range your friends size category subtracts 5 feet from its range. Your friend makes an extra off turn attack and adds 1D4 damage per every 5 feet of unused travel from this spell if the attack lands.

[@MrRukrio1]

something i should add: the Arcane Propulsion Armor is just better Arcane Propulsion arm, who'da thunk?

[@anniedarkheart5224]

1:23 Each of your infusions can be in only one object at a time.

[@joeholtz5395]

Slow down and read the info please. Really awesome info and video. Thank you for making it. Can you do another or redo this one? I know longer videos don't get as many views because of younger peoples short attention spans. Most young people lol thanks!!!!

Are going to review the Draconic UA that dropped a week or two ago, or are your OCD fans just going to have to bear a UA without your 2 cents?

[@WOLF7356]

Better yet, give all the AC boost items to the monk who already gets proficiency in all saving throws and make them unstoppable

[@antoninperron1307]

There is still no infusion to make a gunblade...

[@blesper3415]

Sure there is. You create adhesive with the alchemy jug, and apply it to a long cloth strip that you than use to bind your gun to a longsword

[@companyoflosers]

you can just MAKE a gunblade. why should you need and infusion for that?

[@-POISON-]

5:45 Shrek instead of Lump the Enlightened? Why?

[@rimurutempest4945]

I was so surprised by Snow Day Heimer Donger

[@ZebraMetal]

Can anyone explain the Enhanced Arcane Focus to me? I mean in the class description it tells me I can only use tools I have a proficiency with as a focus but with this infusion I can only infuse rods, staffs and wands...which I can't use...?

[@thomasshepherd8909]

You can use any item as a spellcasting focus as long as It has one of your infusions infusion of it

[@nicolaezenoaga9756]

Thanks.

[@trinioler]

You missed some infusions after the replicate magic items infusion. :P

[@Watchin4story]

Who doesn’t want a wand with a scope. Though a wand with silencer would be the best.

[@companyoflosers]

I actually homebrewed a bracelet of silence that enacts a very small localized silence spell in the radius of about a foot around itself and has charges. excellent for spell or firearm use when you want to be stealthy.

[@garburetor3901]

Give your barbarian the boots of striding and springing and the ring of jump. You will thank me later.

[@The_Number1Candyman]

Davvy can laugh at jump enchancing things all he wants, he won't be laughing when my character clears a 189ft gap in one jump

[@charlesmwolf]

your wrong in one section; you cannot use the SAME infusion on different items at the same time, so you canot use enhanced defense on your shield AND your armor, only one. You would have to use repulsion shield to max out AC from artificer infusions at +3

[@Kasevampir]

you charmed me ;o)

[@sircatfaceesq578]

I wish I could use half of these. My DM only lets me use Replicate Magic Item as long as I have a magic item to copy. Like buying a bag of holding just so I can make another

[@antongrigoryev6381]

That's bullshit, it robs Artificer of a good part of its options. I would've left such a table where DM limits me like this.

[@charger1369]

Yeah that's not kosher. If it specifically for the setting, then fine, but compensate you because that is a big section of your class power lost. So nah man.

[@trailguidealex5010]

I don't like giving orcs bows in my worlds because they are stupid strong and they could wipe out a party without any of them being able to see them. But I give them throwing sticks, aka heavy hunting boomerangs that don't come back. And returning weapon infusion is great for that.

[@companyoflosers]

except thematically why would any orc be smart enough to be an artificer?

You call it the Wand of Magic Detection, I call it a Sonic Screwdriver.
