The Artillerist is an
Artificer subclass from TCoE. It functions as printed, except as noted below.
All features that refer to a Cannon instead refer to an Arbalest, simply as a function of the ancient setting.
Eldritch Arbalest
The arbalest lasts for 1 day; you "refurbish" it as part of a long rest and reset this duration at the start of your day. You must still spend a spell slot as an action to repair the arbalest if it is destroyed before then. You can also spend a spell slot as an action to reconfigure an existing arbalest into one of the other two types.
Arctuator
This is a rename of the Arcane Firearm feature since the name just bugs me, especially in an ancient setting. The feature itself does not change.
Explosive Arbalest
The "damage" increase also applies to the Protector arbalest's temporary hit points.
Only the Flamethrower and Force Ballista can be made to explode. The Protector cannot be self-destructed in this way.
Fortified Position
The half cover benefit moves to 9th level and applies only to the Protector arbalest and never to the other types, in place of its loss of the explosion.
Artillery Battery
This is a rename of the "two arbalests" feature at 15th level, shorn of the Fortified Position benefit as noted above.
Highly Explosive Arbalest
Also at 15th level, the benefits of the Explosive Arbalest feature are doubled.
Highly Fortified Position
Also at 15th level, the Protector arbalest grants 3/4 cover to allies within 5 feet of it.
