Mythwright

It is said that fire was a gift from the gods, providing the first spark of inspiration for many. Legends and myths inspire greatness and push heroes to their limits, but it is the Mythwright who shapes these stories into reality. These inventors do not create new magic; they recover what has been lost and awaken the power they have found.

They are not the supporters of heroes—they are their creators.


The Mythwright subclass was originally created by Kolya. This version has been adapted for D&D Beyond.
<new to making subclass :)>

Level 3: Myth Writer

You gain proficiency in the History skill. If you are already proficient in this skill, your Proficiency Bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses this skill.

Level 3: Mythwright Spells

You always have certain spells prepared after you reach particular levels in this class, as shown in the Mythwright Spells table. These spells count as Artificer spells for you, but they don’t count against the number of Artificer spells you prepare.

Level 3: Heroic Relics

Each Relic has a Mythic Effect and an Ascension gained while wielding the Relic, and a Resonance that the Artificer gains when the relic is wielded by someone else. Additionally, each Relic details which infused item it can be applied to.

If a Heroic Relic is applied to the Homunculus Servant, it is treated as if it is always in your possession, giving you the full effect, and it can’t be given to another creature.

Level 3: Relics of Old

⚠️ D&D Beyond Note:
When you reach 3rd level, this feature will display a “- Choose a Level 3 Option -” and “No Choice Made” entry.

• Clicking it shows you the list of relics.

• You can select one, but the builder will not visibly confirm your choice.

• To view your chosen relic, check Features & Traits on your character sheet.

• If you click the same relic more than once, it may duplicate. The easiest way to clear duplicates is to switch to another subclass (or blank), save, then re-select Mythwright in the builder.

At 3rd level, you know 2 relics of your choice. You learn one additional relic at 9th level (3 known) and another at 15th level (4 known). Each infused item can hold only one Relic. You cannot select the same relic more than once.

Relic picks are permanent. Once chosen, you know that relic for the rest of your adventuring career.

Optional Rule: At your DM’s discretion, you may replace one relic you know when you gain a level in this class, similar to artificer infusions.
