Grenadier

The sturdiest of the Artificer Specialties, Grenadiers generally don heavy armor, serving as mid-line tanks that lob projectiles at the frontline.   Grenadiers gain proficiency with Heavy Armor upon selecting the subclass.  They can also spend an hour creating a Grenadier’s Bandoiler, which acts as a holster that can simultaneously hold 8 grenades at one time.   If a full 8 hours are spent making grenades, two are yielded.   This increases to three at 12th level.
