School of Metallurgy in Dungeons & Dragons 5e

School of Metallurgy - 5600 AXP

TIER TWO FEATURE: School of Metallurgy

    • AXP: 5600
    • Pre-Requisites: None
    • Grants Access To: None

Experts in the field of electricity, metals, and improving their quality. They are the most exposed to acids, as they etch metals, plate weapons. They are also the chemists with more time around the forge than other classes, knowing how to extract metals from an ore and synthesize flux. A metallurgist could’ve been a part-time miner, excited to see a vein of silver for the first time in their life. They know how metals can conduct electricity, and they wish to expand their utility in this regard. And, perhaps, become a notorious inventor someday.

This feature is a prerequisite to features in the Metallurgist Feature Tree.

You now have proficiency with medium armor and one martial weapon of your choice.

Additionally, you learn the following recipes:

This silvery black potion grants the creature who is administered it or ingests it a bonus to AC as silvery carbon coats their body. The targets AC becomes equal to 16, if it's less than 16. This effect lasts for one hour and their AC cannot be reduced below 16 during this time.

If applied to a weapon, for the 8 hours lightning springs from your weapon to deliver a shock to any creature you hit with the weapon. Make a melee attack against the target.
