Artificer
Base Class: Artificer

An artificer who specializes in firearms and explosives enhanced with a touch of the arcane. Gunsmiths might carry around a variety of different magical guns to replicate cantrips and other spell effects like thunderwave or scorching ray. For spells like fireball or sticking cloud, they might rely on a magical grenade that produces that same effect. They can charge their bullets with different elemental effects, increasing their effectiveness with firearms. A skilled Gunsmith can overcharge their firearms with arcane power, increasing the range and damage of the shot.
