Musical Apparatus
3rd-Level Artificer, Composer Feature
You create a signature musical instrument. At the
end of a long rest, you can use your smith's tools to create a
Musical Apparatus. You are proficient with this Apparatus
and it can be used as a spellcasting focus by you. When you
make an ability check with your Musical Apparatus, you can
add double your proficiency bonus to the result of your roll.
You can only maintain one Apparatus at a time. If you create a second, the previous Apparatus becomes unusable.
Upon creating your Musical Apparatus, you can weaponize it, choosing one of the following options below:
Raucous Blast. Your Apparatus can assault creatures with a blast of sound. As an action, make a spell attack against a creature within 60 feet that can hear you. On hit, the creature takes 1d8 thunder damage and is deafened until the start of your next turn. The damage increases by 1d8 at 5th level (2d8), and again at 11th level (3d8), and 17th level (4d8).
Ringing Strike. Your Apparatus is a simple weapon with the versatile property, and it deals 1d8 (1d10) bludgeoning damage on hit. You are considered proficient with it, and you can use your Intelligence, in place of Strength, for attack and damage rolls. In addition, you can cast the booming blade* cantrip as long as your Apparatus is the material component.
Thunderous Note
5th level-Level Artificer, Composer Feature
When you hit a creature with a Musical
Apparatus attack, you can expend a spell slot to knock Large
or smaller targets back with a thunderous burst of sound. The
creature is knocked back 10 feet for a 1st-level spell slot, and
an additional 10 feet for each spell level higher than 1st-level.
Also, whenever you deal thunder damage, you add your Intelligence modifier (minimum of +1) to your damage roll.
Resonant Frequency
9th level-Level Artificer, Composer Feature
You can use an action to play a note that
causes a target within 10 feet to resonate with undetectable
music for 1 hour. The next time that creature is hit by a melee
attack, the attacker must succeed on a Constitution saving
throw or take 2d8 thunder damage and not be able take
reactions until the start of their next turn.
You may use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
