3rd-level Culinarist feature
Your cooking knowledge grants additional proficiencies and a cantrip.

Culinarist Spells

3rd-Level Culinarist Feature
You always have certain spells prepared after you reach particular levels in this class, as shown in the Culinarist Spells table. These spells count as artificer spells for you, but they don’t count against the number of artificer spells you prepare.

3rd	Create or Destroy Water, Goodberry
5th	Gentle Repose, Locate Animals or Plants
9th	Feign Death, Plant Growth

Culinary Sciences

3rd-level Culinarist feature
You have a keen eye for identifying, preserving, and preparing raw ingredients for cooking.

Ingredient Harvesting. You can take 10 minutes, which can be part of a short or long rest, to extract ingredients from a creature’s remains using cook’s utensils. When you do so, you harvest a number of pounds worth of the creature’s ingredients according to its size: 1 pound for a Tiny creature, 3 pounds for Small, 5 pounds for Medium, 10 pounds for Large, and 30 pounds for Huge. This exhausts all viable cooking ingredients you can extract from that creature’s remains.

Food Preservation. During a short or long rest, you can cast the detect poison and disease or purify food and drink spell as a ritual. The spells do not require material components when cast in this way. In addition, casting either of these spells or any other activity related to food preparation doesn’t count as a strenuous activity for you. Finally, when you cast the purify food and drink spell on a non-humanoid creature’s remains or on a mound of ingredients within the spell’s range, you prevent it from decay and infestation for a number of days equal to your Intelligence modifier.

Gourmet Meal

3rd-level Culinarist feature
You can craft incredible meals called Gourmet Meals that possess beneficial nutritional properties.

Meal Preparation. Choose a number of Gourmet Meal portions to prepare up to your level in this class. The size of the creature determines the amount of Gourmet Meals it needs to consume in order to gain the benefits of its ingredients. If a creature consumes an inadequate number of portions, it gains enough nourishment to sustain it for the day but gains no additional benefits. The Gourmet Meal Portions table shows each size category and its requisite number of Gourmet Meals.

Gourmet Meal Portions

SIZE	PORTIONS
Tiny	1/4
Small	1/2
Medium	1
Large	3

 

To determine the benefits granted by the Gourmet Meal, choose up to two creatures for which you have ingredients.

The ingredients must have been harvested from beasts, humanoids, monstrosities, oozes, or plants. Goodberries or rations can also be used as ingredients. As you reach higher levels in this class, you can choose ingredients from other creature types.

For each ingredient, choose one trait or action from the creature's game statistics. The DM has the creature's game statistics.

Alternatively, you can choose any two combinations of traits or actions from the same creature the chosen ingredient was harvested from.

The chosen traits or actions must be present in the “Gourmet Meal Ingredients” section below. For example, if you are cooking a Black Pudding, you can choose its amorphous feature and bestow its Nutritional Value and Digest properties to the Gourmet Meal.

If the creature doesn’t have features present in the “Gourmet Meal Ingredients” section, choose the Bulking Agent option from that section instead.

Finally, expend a number of pounds of each chosen ingredient in any combination of ratios to fulfill the intended number of portions. For example, to make 4 Gourmet Meal portions using black pudding and dire wolf ingredients, you can expend 1 pound of black pudding ingredients and 3 pounds of dire wolf ingredients, or expend 2 pounds of each.

If you use goodberries, you must expend 10 to count as 1 portion. Similarly for rations, you must expend a day’s worth to count as 1 portion.

Cooking a Gourmet Meal. You must spend at least one and a half hours preparing the Gourmet Meal using cook’s utensils, which can be part of a short or long rest.

Note down each Gourmet Meal Ingredient you chose during Meal Preparation. Each ingredient has a Nutritional Value and a Digest property, which becomes the Gourmet Meal’s benefits.

Consuming a Gourmet Meal. A creature takes 30 minutes to completely consume its Gourmet Meal portions, which can be part of a short or long rest. After which, the creature gains the benefits of the Gourmet Meal. The benefits end when the creature finishes a long rest or after 24 hours (whichever comes first), if it consumes another Gourmet Meal, or if it dies.

Nutritional Value. The Nutritional Value property describes the beneficial effects the consumer gains for the duration of the Gourmet Meal.

Digest. The Digest property describes a beneficial effect with a shorter duration that the consumer can use at certain times. A consumer can use any of the Gourmet Meal’s Digest properties a number of times equal to 1+ your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1). The consumer regains all expended uses after it finishes a long rest.

For example, A creature consumes a Gourmet Meal made with the Amorphous and Pounce ingredients, created by a Culinarist with an Intelligence modifier of +3. The consumer uses the Digest property of the Amorphous ingredient and gains its benefits, leaving them with 3 remaining uses of the Digest property to expend on either the Amorphous or Pounce ingredients.

Gourmet Meal Freshness. A Gourmet Meal retains its freshness for a number of days equal to your Intelligence modifier, after which the food immediately spoils. A spoiled Gourmet Meal still provides enough nourishment to sustain a creature for the day but grants no additional benefits when consumed. Its freshness can be extended by a number of days equal to your Intelligence modifier if the purify food and drink spell is cast upon it. A Gourmet Meal can only remain fresh for a total of 30 days, after which it spoils immediately.

Culinary Combat

5th-level Culinarist feature
The components of your cook’s utensils become viable tools for self- defense for you. Each component counts as a simple weapon for you that you are proficient with and serves as a spellcasting focus for your artificer spells. The components can also be infused as either a weapon, shield (for the metal pot), or spellcasting focus, such as a rod, staff, or wand. The Culinary Weapons table shows which weapons and armor you can use from cook’s utensils.

Culinary Weapons

Cook's Utensils Component	Weapon or Armor
Metal Pot	Shield
Knife	Shortsword
Fork	Dagger
Stirring Spoon	Mace
Ladle	Club

A component grants the following benefits when you use it as a weapon or spellcasting focus:
• You can attack twice using the component as a weapon when you take the Attack action.
• When you attack using the component as a weapon, you can use your Intelligence modifier, instead of Strength or Dexterity modifier, for the attack and damage rolls.
• You add your Intelligence modifier to one damage roll of your cantrips when you use the component as a spellcasting focus.
• When you reduce a to 0 hit points using a component as a weapon or spellcasting focus and kill the target outright, you conjure 1 pound of its ingredients by the target’s feet.

When you cast the spell in this way, you can seek out any creature of a specific kind among the ingredient types that you know, even if you have not seen the creature up close.

The Finest Ingredients table shows the creature types you can choose an ingredient from and the spell slot level required to create it.
