Whether on the Battlefield or in the workshop, the Weaponwright's creations are the pinnacle of ingenuity, where form and function merge seamlessly into devastating power.

Tool Proficiency

When you adopt this specialization at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with smith's tools and tinker's tools. If you already have proficiency with either, you can choose another type of artisan's tools.

WeaponWright Spells

Starting at 3rd level, you always have certain spells prepared after you reach particular levels in this class, as shown in the WeaponWright Spells table. These spells count as artificer spells for you, but they don't count against the number of artificer spells you prepare.

Artificer Level	Armorer Spells
3rd	Zephyr Strike, Shield
5th	Magic Weapon, Mirror Image
9th	ThunderStep, Elemental Weapon
13th	Fire Shield, Staggering Strike
17th	Passwall, Steel wind strike

Trick Weapons

Beginning at 3rd level, you can create a trick weapon with two interchangeable forms, allowing you to switch between them using a bonus action. You are proficient with the trick weapon, and it is only usable by you.

You create you trick weapon over the course of a long rest, you may only have one trick weapon created at a time.

Each of the two trick weapon forms have three "components" which you choose on the creation of the trick weapon, a Head(damage type of the weapon), a Frame(manner and range it is wielded in), and a Special(A property which the weapon gains). Special components which provide a spell foci as its property function as both the normal item AND that particular spell foci.
- short rest, you may exchange one of these components for another of your choice.
- Long rest you can completely redesign your weapon, switching any and all components.
- Cost: You start with two of each type of component (made of iron) for free to make your initial trick weapon, you may create additional components through crafting. Frame components are material cost 4, Head components are material cost 1, and Special components are material cost 2.

You may only replace parts of your trick weapon with components you have on your character. a Trick weapon may only ever have one spell foci special component on both of its forms. When you choose this specialization at 3rd level, choose 2 head, frame, and special components to start with, they are made of normal iron.

When you attack with a trick weapon, you can use your Intelligence modifier, instead of Strength or Dexterity modifier for the attack and damage rolls.
Additionally starting at 6th level, you trick weapon counts as magical for the purposes of overcoming resistances. Each special component gains a "Special Ability" listed after its property, which you can now use.

Extra Attack

Starting at 5th level, you can attack twice, rather than once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn. You may replace one of these attacks with a cantrip.

Adaptive Mastery

At 9th level, your expertise in weapon crafting allows you to fine-tune your Trick Weapon on the fly. You gain the following benefits:
- Dynamic Configuration: As a bonus action, you can spend a flash of genius to replace one component (Head, Frame, or Special) of your Trick Weapon without needing a short rest, if you have previously crafted that component. If you end up replacing a component that doesn't fulfill the requirements for the weapon, the Special of that form will be disabled, until you replace parts till the requirements are fulfilled again.
- Fluid Motions: Once per turn, when you switch your weapon’s form and damage a creature with it on the same turn, you deal an additional 1d8 damage of the weapon’s type. This extra damage increases to 2d8 at 15th level.
- Greater Technique: Each special part has a "weapon mastery" listed after its "component" ability which you gain the benefit of while wielding that part of the trick weapon. Special components with the "Foci" property instead grant a listed "Spell Feat" which you gain the benefit of when wielding the part. However you do not gain the ability score increase benefit of that feat.

Master Weaponwright

At 15th level, your Trick Weapon becomes a masterpiece of engineering and arcane ingenuity, granting the following benefits:
- Integrated Arsenal: Your Trick Weapon can now incorporate two (Non-foci)Special components simultaneously in one of its forms. Both effects are active, but you must meet the prerequisites for each. You must choose which of the two weapon masteries you gain the benefit when wielding a form with two special components, this choice is made when you switch forms
- Overdrive Mechanism: Once per long rest, you can overcharge your Trick Weapon. For 1 minute, all attacks with the weapon deal an additional 1d8 damage of a type associated with one of its components (your choice of bludgeoning, slashing, piercing, fire, lightning, or cold).
- Additionally, once per turn, if you land a critical hit with your Trick Weapon you can immediately make one additional attack with the same Trick Weapon.
