Maybe you were a genius merchant who decided the best way to sell merchandise was to attract customers with an ingenious horseless carriage. You invested time, money, and effort to create the perfect way to move goods from one place to the other. Now, you journey the world for profit, selling your wares from the comfort of a mobile home you built with your own hands. Perhaps you were an innocent explorer who accidentally came across a machine made of forgotten magical technology. Through a stroke of luck, you repaired the machine into working condition and now you pilot your newfound partner into lands unknown. Veteran adventurers know that the best performances are always begotten of a good night's sleep. A party of such adventurers heard of your skill with handling vehicles, and hired you to drive a unique vehicle they procured from the laboratory of a mad scientist. As you became familiar with the vehicle, the party eventually accepted you as one of their own and your life as an adventurer began.

A Caravanner is a master of amenities, and is always able to provide refuge for weary wanderers. The owner of a home away from home, interlopers who covet the belongings of those residing inside a Caravanner's caravan should beware. A Caravanner only travels in style because they have the ability to protect both themselves as well as their passengers. Their Arcane Caravan is not only a roving shelter for vagrants and nomads, but is also a machine of destruction capable of blasting its way out of danger.

Arcane Caravan

3rd-level Caravanner feature

You combine magic and technology to construct a magical, moving home. See this vehicle's game statistics in the accompanying Arcane Caravan stat block, which uses your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places. The interior of the vehicle is an extradimensional space resembles your caravan's exterior, and can be up to 100-feet long, 100-feet wide, and 20 feet high. The interior is always at a comfortable temperature and the caravan can conjure a number of fully furnished kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, and other living spaces that can fit within the space. The caravan can only conjure mundane objects, cannot conjure objects worth more than 25 gold, and conjured objects dissipate into nothing when removed from the caravan. Any door within the caravan can lead to any room, as long as the room is stated before the door is opened. You determine the vehicle's outward and inward appearance, but the caravan must have a cockpit, which is outside of the extradimensional space; your choice has no effect on its game statistics.

You can use the Arcane Caravan as a spellcasting focus for your artificer spells.

If you are within the cockpit, you can use your bonus action to begin piloting the caravan. In combat, the caravan shares your initiative count. It can move on its own, but it cannot take an action on its own unless you take an action on your turn to pilot the vehicle into taking a number of actions. The vehicle can take 2 actions on its turn, choosing from the options in the accompanying Arcane Caravan stat block. The number of actions you can pilot the vehicle into taking increases to 3 when you reach level 13, and again to 4 when you reach level 17. You continue to pilot the Arcane Caravan until you leave the cockpit.

If the mending spell is cast on the caravan, it regains 2d6 hit points. If the hit points of the caravan are reduced to zero, the caravan is destroyed and all creatures and non-conjured objects within the extradimensional space are ejected into the nearest unoccupied space, taking force damage equal to your artificer level + any excess damage. If the caravan has been destroyed within the last hour, you can use your carpenter's tools as an action to rebuild it, provided you are within 5 feet of it and you expend a spell slot of 1st level or higher. The Arcane Caravan becomes fully functional after 1 minute with all its hit points restored.

At the end of a Long Rest, you can create a new Arcane Caravan if you have your carpenter's tools with you. If you already have an Arcane Caravan from this feature, the first one is immediately destroyed. The Arcane Caravan is also destroyed if you die.
