Cartridge Caviler

A Cartridge Caviler takes the basic ranged weapons and turns them into an arcane device. This devastating power allows them to augment the nature of a ranged weapon. And when they bring this power to battle they seek to decimate their foes in search for greater prowess. The gunslinging elder kobold artificer Indus Hephedium has been especially known for the start of this practice, stating: “It’s about time someone made these contraptions more deadly!”

Tool Proficiencies

You gain proficiency with woodcarver’s tools. If you already have this proficiency, you gain proficiency with one other type of artisan’s tools of your choice. You also gain proficiency in Martial Weapons.

Cartridge Caviler Spells

You always have certain spells prepared after you reach particular levels in this class, as shown in the Cartridge Caviler Spells table. These spells count as artificer spells for you, but they don’t count against the number of artificer spells you prepare.

Arcane Ammunition

You have created a source of Ammo that uses your arcane knowledge to inflict lethal damage. Starting at 3rd level when you select this specialist, you can create a number of magical bullets of an amount equal to 1+ Your Intelligence modifier. You can use your Smith's Tools or Tinker's Tools, to create different types of ammunition, once you do so you can’t do so again until you finish a long rest or until you expend a spell slot to create one. You choose two types of ammunition, when you get a level in this class you can change one of your ammunitions to a different one. You must pick from the same level of ammunition or lower. (Ex. you can swap tentative toxin for chilling choke, you can swap psychic sink for chilling choke, but you can not swap tentative toxin for  psychic sink.) If the Ammunition requires a saving throw the DC is your spell save DC (DC = 8 + your Intelligence modifier + your proficiency bonus.)

The amount of ammunition you can have increases to two times your Intelligence modifier at 9th level, and then again to three times you Intelligence modifier at 15th level. As well as the number of ammunition types you can have increase by two at 9th level and 15th level.
