Bonesmith

Bonesmiths are Artificers that use necromancy to empower their infusions. They specialize in using their artificer training combined with Necromancy to create a suit of Bone Armor that can be augmented with the remains of the dead.

Bone Armor

The Bonesmith specializes in using their artificer training combined with Necromancy to create a suit of Bone Armor that can be augmented with the remains of the dead.

Your Bone Armor serves as a conduit for your magic. As an action, you can augment any armor with a corpse of medium size or larger or a pile of bones of equal size, turning it into Bone Armor, provided you have smith's tools in hand.

You gain the following benefits while wearing this armor:

• The Bone Armor takes on the properties of the armor you augmented.
• If the armor normally has a Strength requirement, the Bone Armor lacks this requirement for you.
• You can use the Bone Armor as a spell casting focus for your artificer spells.
• The armor attaches to you and can’t be removed against your will. It also expands to cover your entire body, although you can retract or deploy the helmet as a bonus action. The armor replaces any missing limbs, functioning identically to a limb it replaces.
• You can doff or don the armor as an action.

The armor continues to be Bone Armor until you don another suit of armor or you die.

Amalgamated Armor

You can customize your Bone Armor by adding more bones or fetishes to it. When you do so, choose two options from the Amalgamated Armor list. The options you choose gives you special benefits while you wear them on your armor.
