Infusilier

Infusiliers have created a unique method of infusing rounds of ammunition with supernatural effects by manipulating the magic in the world around them. Through dedication to their craft, they have discovered how to add exceptional firepower, stopping force, and even restorative properties to each bullet they fire. Infusiliers are expert marksmen, firing with unwavering will and pinpoint accuracy. If they're staring down the barrel, no enemy is safe.

Aether Ammunition

At 3rd level, you learn to unleash special magical effects with some of your shots. When you gain this feature, you learn three Aether Ammunition options of your choice (see “Aether Ammunition Options” below). You may choose to replace any Aether Ammunition options during a short or long rest.

Once per turn when you fire a bullet from a musket or rifle as part of the Attack action, you can apply one of your Aether Ammunition options to that bullet. You decide to use the option when the bullet hits a creature, unless the option doesn’t involve an attack roll. You have uses of this ability equal to plus your proficiency bonus (minimum 2), and you regain uses of it equal to half your proficiency bonus rounded up per short rest or long rest.

You gain an additional Aether Ammunition option of your choice when you reach certain levels in this class: 5th, 9th, 13th, and 17th level.

Ability can be used a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus per long rest. During a short rest, you may recover a number of uses equal to half of your proficiency bonus rounded up.

Deployable Cover

You’re a master at forming well-defended emplacements using Deployable Cover. Using tinkerer's tools or smith’s tools, you can take a bonus action to magically create a Deployable Cover in an unoccupied space on a horizontal surface within 5 feet of you. The deployable is a half-foot thick and 5 feet wide.

Once you deploy a cover, you can’t do so again until you finish a long rest. You can have only one cover at a time.

The deployable cover has an AC of 17 and a number of hit points equal to five times your artificer level. It is immune to poison damage and psychic damage.You and your allies have half cover while within 5 feet of a cover you create. If the mending spell is cast on it, it regains 2d6 hit points. It disappears if it is reduced to 0 hit points or after 1 hour.

Extra Attack

You can attack twice, rather than once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

Abundant Aether

As an action, you can overcharge the aether in the chamber of your firearm. Choose an Aether Ammunition to apply to this shot. Each creature in a 120-foot line must make a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC, taking 10d6 damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one and applying the effects of the selected Aether Ammunition.

Once you use this feature, you can’t do so again until you finish a long rest, unless you expend a spell slot of 3rd level or higher to use it again.

Due to the extreme force of the blast, your firearm jams and cannot be used again until you spend an action to try and repair it. To repair your firearm, you must use an action.

Aether Ammunition Options

The Aether Ammunition feature lets you choose options for it at certain levels. The options are presented here in alphabetical order. They are all magical effects, and each one is associated with one of the schools of magic.

If an option requires a saving throw, your Arcane Shot save DC equals 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier.
