Infuse Mecha

Artificer Specialist
Artificers pursue many disciplines. Here is one specialist
option you can choose at 3rd level.
Machinist
A machinist excels at creating devices, repairing constructs,
and operating automata. Practitioners of this specialty herald
a future in which industry and machinery will revolutionize
civilizations and improve the quality of life. Besides being
famed as engineers ahead of their time, machinists are also
known to be inventors of powerful robots known as mechas.
Machinist Spells
Starting at 3rd level, you always have certain spells prepared
after you reach particular levels in this class, as shown in the
Machinist Spells table. These spells count as artificer spells
for you, but they don't count against the number of artificer
At 3rd level, you learn how to upgrade your mecha with
infusions. When you learn or replace an infusion of your
choice, you can choose one infusion from the list of options
found at the end of this subclass description.
When you imbue the mecha with an infusion you know
from this list, it doesn't count against the number of infusions
you can have active. The mecha can be infused any number of
times, but not more than once by the same infusion.
Extra Attack
At 5th level, you can attack twice, rather than once, whenever
you take the Attack action on your turn. Moreover, while you
control the mecha, you can forgo one of your attacks to allow
the mecha to make one attack.

Create Mecha
At 3rd level, your tinkering has culminated in the construction
of a mecha. It is friendly to you and your companions. See
this creature's game statistics in the Mecha stat block, which
uses your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places.
The mecha is of a size which you can mount, choosing
from Small, Medium, or Large. You also decide its
appearance, or you can determine it randomly by rolling on
the Mecha Shape table.
In combat, the mecha serves as a controlled mount for you.
While you control it, the mecha can take the Attack action.
The mecha doesn't move or take actions independently,
unless you are incapacitated or you take a bonus action on
your turn to command it to move and take actions.

 Upgrade Model
At 9th level, choose one of the following models: Air, Land, or
Water. The mecha adopts the traits of the chosen model,
which are described in its stat block. You can change the
model of the mecha whenever you finish a short or long rest.
Arcane Synchrony
At 15th level, the mecha can cast artificer spells you

have prepared while you control it. The mecha uses

its own actions to cast the spell, and concentrates

on it so you don't have to. You provide

the spell components and slot (if any).

You can use this feature a number

of times equal to your proficiency

bonus, and you regain all expended

uses of it when you finish a long rest.
