Play an Artificer Horror Subclass for 5e! | Grim Hollow | Bard | D&D | TTRPG | DnD

The literal second I heard dangerous though experiment I knew it was a Ruko's Basilisk reference. It's an awesome concept that's certifiably creepy

[@GhostfireGaming]

Right!?

[@Tomha]

One bit that always struck me as odd is how Flesh Golems were always portrayed as hideous amalgamations. You'd think someone who put so much time and effort in collecting, assembling and mending parts would take the effort into make their appearance reflect the quality of their work, like stone golems. If I remember right, the OG Frankenstein's Monster basically had a perfect everything but his face is what freaked out the doctor so much. Then again when I played a spellcaster back then, I played him as more of an artistic sort that wanted to perfect animating statues and other works.

[@thereseemstobeenanerror1219]

It was something about the monster's appearance that caused people to flip out whenever they saw him. Perhaps he just looked super uncanny, close to human but not.

The Machine Cultist Artificer sounds like so much fun to play! ❤

[@sykune]

It also sounds like the creator of skynet

sounds like the Adeptus Mechanicus from Warhammer 40k.

it's a warlock artificer, what's not to love?

Oh shit I LOVE the Reanimator already! GIMME!

Oh fuck all kinds of YES! This is BEYOND cool! Artificer was already my second favorit class and this just makes me WISH someone had gone artificer in my game.

College of Adventure Bard is like the first bard I've ever genuinely wanted to play. I would go down the Arcane/Eldritch route and pick-up spell-sniper to be an Eldritch-Blast/Agonizing Blast caster with a tone of support spells. Maybe even pickup the Wizard spells find familiar and Dragon's breath to to light up the battlefield with damage. And I love all the Artificer infusions that the Dark Fantasy Supplement included like the Book that allows you to takes spells from any school of magic. I would love to pick up spiritual weapon, or give it out to other players to expand their own spell list. Imagine a Warlock that got Spiritual Weapon, Spirit Guardians or even Dragon's Breath for a Chain-Pact.

[@GhostfireGaming]

I suppose the visuals are meant to mirror the macabre themes of crafting a flesh golem. It is gruesome work stitching a composite together, and materials you have to work with are not perfect due to decay... likely why it needs to be a composite to begin with. But of course what your flesh golem would look like is entirely up to you! 🙂

[@andrewholland2763]

I am going to go check out that artificer guide.

If I could get 2 Ghostfire videos a week, that would be great. :)

[@Greenmanb275g]

I have to say on top of everything else that ghost fire provided me with that I always wanted, the machine cultist has to be the greatest. My two favorite classes has always been artificer and Warlock I've never had a good way to merge the two that a dungeon master would approve. But now with this subclass not only does it do it really well but it's probably my favorite of all time. Thank you for creating such an amazing subclass for someone who enjoys the more odd things that 5e has to offer!

I'm surprise you didn't included the Apothecary in this one , well I.M.H.O it sort of a Ghosfire Game class after all and it it a perfect fit for Grim Hollow . 🍺

[@GhostfireGaming]

All true! I might take a closer look at the apothecary before long, it’s a really exciting class for a dark fantasy campaign and I’ve had heaps of fun when getting to play it.

[@extaslash7077]

A really great video I think would be maybe something along the lines of improving combat, particularly with dark fantasy twists but even just in general. I feel like it's universally accepted fact that combat, particularly martial combat is one of the weakest links of fifth edition at this point and I'd be interested to hear ghostfires ideas on improving that facet of the game.

[@GhostfireGaming]

If you haven't already, you should check out our video on Grievous Wounds and Recovery. I'll link below. While it doesn't change the core of 5e combat, it does make combat more dangerous and slows down the rate of PC recovery. This means the party can't super-nova every combat, and makes spell slots more precious which can make martials shine a little more... especially considering martials have more features that recover on a short rest or are entirely passive. video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHfVfXyDh9aIjpI

[@extaslash7077]

@GhostfireGaming Yeah, it's a solid concept and I use it often once I get past the Ditches in the Grimhollow fable. Though in the ditches themselves I find using normal long rest rules of 8 hours is better given the module nerfs to Rests and how tedious the ditches can seem already. It does slow down the strategic (spread over long time) pace of combat but at a tactical (individual combat for example) level there's still only so much variety someone can have.

[@qurterx7]

lol, just imagine two friends join a table one is the Reanimator Artificer and the other is his monster, that would be interesting.

[@GhostfireGaming]

Very possible with the new Grim Hollow 'Arisen' species, who have been built, not born. We touch on them briefly towards the end of this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIrCe3eNms6FhMk

[@nielsvanoosten]

I love the flavor of these subclasses. One small question: Does the 'Potion Injection Projector' infusion combine with the Plague Doctor's Potion Craft, if you decide to multiclass?

What happened to the Artificer subclasses; they're not in the GH Players Guide?

[@GhostfireGaming]

You can find the Grim Hollow artificer subclasses in the DM’s Guild. Because the artificer isn’t included in the D&D SRD, we aren’t able to publish subclasses for it directly into our books.
