Blight Brewers are artificers that have specialized in the forbidden arts of poisoncrafting and plague-making. The poisons crafted by a blight brewer are more potent than the average poison and far more specialized toward the victims. Blight brewers craft individual poisons, toxins, diseases, and other noxious concoctions to specifically target whatever they intend to weaken or kill, allowing them to poison even the most resilient of foes. In battle, they wield esoteric weapons designed to deliver poisons to their victims with the utmost efficiency and precision.

Tool Proficiency

When you adopt this specialization at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with your choice out of brewer's supplies, alchemist's supplies, or poisoner's kits. If you already have these proficiencies, you gain proficiency with one other type of artisan's tools of your choice.

Blight Brewer Spells

Starting at 3rd level, you always have certain spells prepared after you reach particular levels in this class, as shown in the Blight Brewer Spells table. These spells count as artificer spells for you, but they don’t count against the number of artificer spells you can prepare.

Blight Brewer Spells

Artificer Level	Spell
3rd	detect poison and disease, ray of sickness*
5th	darkness, protection from poison
9th	stinking cloud, toxic breath (new)
13th	blight, venom lash (new)
17th	cloudkill, contagion

D&D Beyond Note: New homebrew spells and spells marked with an asterisk must be selected manually in the character builder. Homebrew spells must first be added to your collection.

Combat Poisoner

When you reach 3rd level, you develop a way of fighting that allows you to surgically test your poisons against your foes in combat, gaining the following benefits:

• You gain proficiency with martial weapons.
• When you attack with a magic weapon, you can use your Intelligence modifier, instead of your Strength or Dexterity modifier, for the attack and damage rolls.
• Choose either chill touch, poison spray, or the new venom dart cantrip. You learn the chosen cantrip as an artificer spell, and it doesn't count against the number of cantrips you can know as an artificer.

Blighted Strike

Also at 3rd level, you learn how to swiftly apply a special poison to your weapons in the thick of battle.

You can use a bonus action on any of your turns to apply a special poison to one weapon you are holding. The next time you hit with a creature with an attack using the weapon during that turn, it deals extra poison damage equal to 1d10 + your proficiency bonus, or extra necrotic damage equal to 1d6 + your proficiency bonus if the target is immune to poison damage.

You can also use a bonus action to empower the next artificer spell you cast during the turn. The first time the spell deals necrotic or poison damage to a creature, it deals extra damage equal to 1d10 + your proficiency bonus to one of the damaged creatures.

Extra Attack

Starting at 5th level, you can attack twice, rather than once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

Noxious Toxins

At 9th level, the toxicity of your poisons and concoctions of blight increases dramatically. When you deal necrotic or poison damage to a creature, you can choose one of the following effects:

• The necrotic or poison damage is increased by 2d6.
• The target must make a Constitution saving throw against your artificer spell save DC. On a failed save, it is poisoned until the end of your next turn.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of once), but you can do so no more than once on a turn. You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Master Poisoner

When you reach 15th level, your mastery over the art of poisoncrafting grants you the following benefits:

• You gain resistance to necrotic and poison damage.
• You have advantage on saving throws against poison.
• The damage dealt by your Noxious Toxins feature increases to 4d6, and creatures have disadvantage on the saving throw against being poisoned.
• When you use your Blighted Strike feature on a weapon, the effect lasts for 1 minute. For 1 minute or until you use the feature on another weapon, the first time you hit with an attack using the weapon on each of your turns, the attack deals the bonus damage.
