Curator (5.5E)

After much searching in your career, you found a lost magic treasure that will help you make your mark. But should it go to a museum? The secrets you could learn through it could be limitless.

Level 3: Skilled with Gear

The number of Artificer Skills you learn is now = to your Intelligence Modifier (min of 2).

Level 3: Prized Artifact

 You can designate an ancient &/or magical item as your relic. Whenever you take a level in artificer, you can commit that level to your relic. Committed levels do NOT count toward gaining new artificer spell slots. When you take a short rest, you can regain a number of spell slots whose total levels are = your committed levels (rounded up). 

In addition, you learn a number of warlock spells. Take the total number of Committed levels & divided them by 2 (rounded up). These count as warlock levels on the on the warlock table's spells known column.

Count your total number of committed levels and compare it to the corresponding level on the Artificer Class table. Check the "Known Cantrip" column, you learn that many warlock cantrips. Repeat this with uncommitted levels to see how many artificer cantrips you know.

When multiclassing, committed levels count as "Pact Magic" feature while uncommitted levels count toward spellcasting feature.

You can use your relic as a spell casting focus. You are attuned to the relic & cannot unattuned. If your Artifact is non-magical, you can add the properties of an attunable Magic Item you can Replicate to your relic.  You always know in which direction it is in, what dimension it is in & if anyone is holding it or using magic on it. If the relic is away from your possession for over a week, you lose all benefits from this subclass until you regain the relic.
