You are studied in the art of crafting magically enhanced weapons and armor. You learned your skills as an apprentice to a master artisan and are well on your way to becoming a master in your own right.
- Skill Proficiencies: Arcana, and History, Nature, or Insight
- Tool Proficiencies: Jeweler's tools and a choice of cobbler's tools, leatherworker's tools, smith's tools, weaver's tools, or woodcarver's tools
- Equipment: A set of artisan’s tools (one of your choice), an armorer's notebook, a set of traveler’s clothes, 1 azurite, and a pouch containing 5 gp
Specialty
Arcane armorers typically focus on one of five types of equipment: metallic armor and weapons, wooden armor and weapons, footwear, leather armor, or clothing; although some tend to dabble with all types of arcane armor. They are generally found in cities large enough to support the need for such specific crafts; however, smaller towns and even sometimes villages might have one arcane armorer that also serves the public's needs for mundane items.

Feature: An Eye for Gems
You have developed an acute eye for useful gems and can sometimes pick them out of a pile of unprocessed ore or an open rock area where gems are known to be found (25 percent chance per day) and can even sometimes find a stray useful gem in a batch of otherwise labeled gems at a market (50 chance of finding an alternative gem of similar value). It is rare for you to be fooled by a fake gem and usually know the true value of a gem regardless of the sale price.
Suggested Characteristics
Arcane armorers are among the most interesting people in the world — both in their workroom and out on the adventuring trail. They understand the value of hard work and the importance of community, but they’re vulnerable to sins of greed and covetousness.
