Base Class: Artificer
These macabre masters of anatomical magic seek out perfection in the art of flesh craft, some creating creatures in a genuine hope to further medical magic while others use their craft to creating hulking monstrosity’s they can sell to brutish warlords in the midst of a faltering war, paranoid nobles in need of a loyal guard dog or aging wizards requiring a silent assistant.
Despite all of this work they do artificers of this school are commonly shunned by the unintelligent as they fear what they cannot understand.

Self improvement
3rd-level Flesh Crafter feature
Your research into the flesh arts has allowed you to safely better yourself:
- You gain proficiency with a weapon of your choosing
- When you attack with a magic weapon, you can use your Intelligence modifier, instead of Strength or Dexterity modifier, for the attack and damage rolls.
Flesh Crafter
3rd-level Flesh Crafter feature
Your study into dark and taboo arts have seen you create a being of stitched flesh. It’s friendly to you and your companions, and it obeys your commands without fault. See its game statistics in the Steel Defender stat block, which uses your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places. You determine the creature’s appearance and whether it has two legs or four; your choice has no effect on its game statistics.
In combat, the Golem shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. If you are incapacitated, the golem can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge.
If the mending spell is cast on it, it regains 2d6 hit points. If it has died within the last hour, you can use your leather workers tools as an action to revive it, provided you are within 5 feet of it and you expend a spell slot of 1st level or higher. The flesh golem returns to life after 1 minute with all its hit points restored.
At the end of a long rest, you can create a new flesh golem if you have leather workers tools with you. If you already have a golem from this feature, the first one immediately perishes. The golem also perishes if you die.

The art of flesh
5th-level Flesh crafter feature
Your study into the flesh arts has given you a new perspective into using your killed enemies for greater purpose. You can use your leather workers tools to take apart enemies and put them better use.
(It is DM’s discretion as to how long it will take for you to implant parts, a replacing of an arm for something stronger might take one long rest while implanting the glands that allows a Dragonborn to breath fire may take longer)
Controller of flesh
9th-level Flesh Crafter feature
Your studies have opened the door to use the flesh magic to harm or heal. When either you hit a target with a magic weapon attack or your flesh golem hits a target, you can channel magical energy through the strike to create one of the following effects:
- The target takes an extra 2d6 Necrotic damage.
- Choose one creature you can see within 30 feet of the target. Dark magic flows into the chosen recipient, restoring 2d6 hit points to it.
You can use this energy 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 of flesh
15th-level Flesh Crafter feature
Your controller of flesh feature and flesh golem become more powerful:
- The extra damage and the healing of your controller of flesh feature both increase to 4d6.
- Whenever your flesh golem uses its Deflect Attack, the attacker takes necrotic damage equal to 1d4 + your Intelligence modifier.
- you have gained the needed experience to maintain two flesh golems as once.
