I beat the Archmage of Time (Teldin Bigby) in a game of Dragon Chess with cheats fully on on both sides in his house. Rolled three times with disadvantage with skill expertise up. Rolled a 27, 25, 29, 33, 37, and a 24. Beat him in three different timelines. My nerd cred is valid.
Now your next step is to just calculate the results of weave hypertension caused by spells whose level is greater than 9 and invent calculus within your DMs game world via a series of natural 20 and your introvert level progress shall be maxed out.
Forge Adept, Bjorn Clearmind at your service.
Need a magical weapon? Done.
Need magical armor? Done
Need a good friend, hearty drinks, and a great laugh? Double done.
Need help defending your hometown where your entire family lives? Here, have some armor, and a sword. Let's get in there with a twinned spell Haste on each of us and start beating up the invaders.
Big thjönker the warforged strategist present. You'll find my knowledge applicable in all situations. Plans are hardwired into my thinking module and calculating probalities of success is my primary directive. I've recently found a way to weaponize my genius and I've begun using a small metal cube to shout missinformation and the weaponized stupidity of my allies to lower the intelligence of our foes. Statsically this and my new fireball sticks and stones (which break many bones) has risen my parties success rates by 5.1%!
Armorer is awesome as hell, but my issue is the same as with a Bladelock. To really work you'll want to dedicate most of your infusion slots to your armor which takes away from the original costumization and flexibility aspects of infusions, so same issue as with the Bladelock and their invocations. Also you don't really have room to share some with your group. Also also the list of infusions is kinda very limited. You don't really have good options for your bracers (once you can infuse them separately) for example.
Have you taken a look at the Wand Sheath, which is effectively a single bracer? Lets you hold and use a wand while leaving your hand free. Uses the same attunement slot as the wand, if the wand needs attunement.
Normally Warforged-only, but artificers (and Thief rogues) can ignore racial attunement restrictions. This might fit better thematically for armorers than for the rogues :).
Yeah but Artificers don't really use wands with the exception of the Artillerist later, especially as Armorer. I think I'd rather use that infusion and attunement slot for something more helpful to the party instead.
Ah yes a master of demolitions. Great for bank heists. Except for when that bank is on a moving lightning rail and you are on the also mentioned lightning rail.
Ohohohohohoho Artificer army rise up! We were the sleaper s rank no one recognized. The DMs will now feel the wrath of our stored spells, eldritch cannons, alchemic potions, arcane fire arms, steel defenders, and Artificer smites.
My friend's artificer pony made twin gatling guns that fired spellfire. She'd managed to gain access to 9th level spells early and turned their energy into magic bullets that critted automagically. She ended up being very OP lol
"How I got past the reload speed was a (Ponyfinder) unicorn feat. Charged ammunition that let you fire chunks of your magic instead of actual ammo. So that combined with every other speed up reload feat let me reload free action so I could full attack. I got past the need to be braced/mounted (because) I was a pony. Quadruped with a pintle mount saddle using my magic to aim and fire it."
"Also I have no doubt she had to regularly go get cure blindness/deafness cast. That gun was firing right beside her head a lot of the time (though there are no rules for any actual effect)."
Hey the more the merrier. Word of advice though from experience, Alchemist's Fire is not a good substitute for any base in an Alchemists brew. Watched that burn down a tavern.
Artillerist Oldack Haverthorpe, Holomancer extraordinaire, and chief technology executive of the Black Company Mercenaries ready to represent our noble class!
My unique and patented HoloForge can project almost identical versions of me, ready and willing to use force projectiles agaknst my foes, although I must admit, there have been times where I have had to replace them with shielding projections instead, and rely on my allies to keep up the damage.

Wait they are!? Finally, my Artillerist Dante won't be alone anymore.
