I'm converting our game to 2024, but I have an artificer in my group, and I kind of feel like they're being left out. I don't want to homebrew my own 2024 artificer, but is it unreasonable to give them weapon mastery? They gave it to every other half-caster (rangers/paladins) so it seems reasonable.
What's the other DMs out there doing for their games?
Maybe give them mastery in any weapon they infuse and are themselves using?
Con : they have to use an infusion Pro : they can switch their mastery, wich gives them more options and adaptability, wich seems to fit the class pretty well.
I've been thinking about this today and think that in line with alot of 2024 rules I'd make it so alot of class features that take an Action can use a Bonus action instead ie. Magical tinkering and Alchemist's potions. Additionally I would probably lean into the subclasses a bit. Battlesmith and Armourer could have weapon mastery and Artillerist and Alchemist an additional cantrip or something similar. The only buff missing at that point, that other half casters have been given, is the free casting of a specific spell or two.
