Base Class: Artificer
In the dim light of his workshop, you behold an artificer unlike any other. Amidst shelves laden with arcane trinkets and alchemical vials, stands a figure surrounded by life-sized wooden dolls. Each one meticulously crafted, possesses an uncanny resemblance to living beings. But these are no mere toys; they are conduits of magic, wielded by the artificer with skill and precision. As he moves among them, weaving intricate gestures and whispering ancient incantations, the dolls spring to life, imbued with arcane energy. With a flick of his wrist, they become guardians, messengers, or instruments of destruction, a testament to the artificer's mastery over both craft and magic.

Puppet
3rd-level Puppeteer feature
I carefully select a piece of aged wood, feeling its weight and texture in my hands. With each precise stroke of my carving tools, the puppet begins to take shape, its features emerging from the raw material. As I infuse it with arcane energy, a spark of life ignites within, and my creation becomes more than just wood and magic—it becomes a trusted companion.
