Sculptor

Then the Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his
nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature.

An Artificer Archetype - 5e
Sculptor
Shape your wishes as you will, give your dream's images life.
What can you imagine? That is what you can create. As a
sculptor you can give your mind's desires palpable form and,
even better, give them purpose.
You are a creator in every sense, a maker of life, a god in
the eyes of your creatures. Your creations are an extension of
your mind, they obey and follow. You shall never lack help in
the direst hours, or companions in the darkest paths.
Sculptor Spells
A type of artist that is ready in advance? Yes, that exists.
Starting at 3rd level, you always have certain spells
prepared after you reach particular levels in this class, as
shown in the Sculptor Spells table. These spells count as
artificer spells for you, but they don't count against the
number of artificer spells you prepare.

Masterpiece
As your craftsmanship evolves, its fidelity to your own
imagination becomes hightened and you perfect your art to
the point it turns into an extension of your own mind.
At 3rd level, you gain the ability to create a masterpiece. A
sculpture so true to your mind's wishes it comes to life.
Crafting a masterpiece requires a creature to be built from
any raw material of your preference, as long as you can give it
form. The masterpiece is friendly to you and your
companions (assuming you are friendly to yourself and
companions) and lasts until you create another one or until it
is destroyed.
In combat, the masterpiece shares your initiative count. It
obeys verbal commands from you (no action required). If you
don't command it, it defends itself but otherwise takes no
action. The masterpiece uses the Masterpiece Stats Block
below.
Magical Link
You are bound together, master and creature. Your
connection surpasses reality.
Starting at 6th level, when you cast a spell or a cantrip your
masterpiece's attacks count as magical for the purpose of
overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks
and damage. This lasts until the beginning of your next turn.
While within 30 feet of you, spells you cast with range self
affect your crature as well. If the spell or effect has a duration
other than instantaneous, it stops affecting the masterpiece if
it moves further than 30 feet away from you and will not
affect the masterpiece again, even if it returns to you before
the duration expires.

Shapes from the Mind
As you perfect your craft, fragments of your mind can take
palpable form.
Starting at 6th level, you learn how to sculpt tiny magic
shapes during a short or long rest. These shapes are a
reflection of your state of mind at the time they are made.
You can have only one shape at any time. The shape must
be placed in a surface before it becomes active and can be
placed in any unoccupied square within your reach as a
bonus action.
The sculpted shape must have one of the following traits:
Frightening: the form embodies terrible thoughts your
mind keeps at bay. Perhaps a nightmare you never forgot, or a
trauma so deep it has haunted you for years. Your sculpture
becomes a beacon of dread. It can be activated as an action
and, once active, emanates a dread aura for one minute. Any
enemy who starts its turn at (or enters) a 30ft radius from the
figure must succeed on a Wisdom Saving Throw or become
frightened for the duration. At the end of each of its turns, an
affected creature can make a Wisdom Saving Throw. After
any success on a Wisdom Saving Throw against this feature
the effect of this sculpture ends for that creature and it
becames immune against it for one hour. After the end of the
effect the shape looses this property.
Absorbing: deep thoughts of emptiness, loneliness or even
fatigue can lead to shapes that seek to draw energy from
their sorrowdings. Your sculpture becomes a beacon of
magical thirst. Once it is placed while within 30ft of the
shape you can cast Counterspell as a 3rd spell slot without
using a spell slot and not necessarily knowing the spell. After
using this feature the shape is destroyed.
Insufferable: when anxious and obsessive, your thoughs
take on a spiral shape that gets projected into your sculpture.
The piece becomes filled with intricate patterns and a heavy
aura that makes its sorroundings hard to bear. You can
activate it as an action. When you do so, for one minute the
terrain becomes difficult to any enemy within 60 feet from
the shape. This feature can be used three times before the
shape loses this property.
Protective: when feeling fierce, strong willed, secure or
confident your sculpture takes encouraging and protective
forms, maybe a token that reminds you of your father's care
or an animal whose strenght you relate to. You can activate it
as an action and when you do so the shape emanates a
protection aura tha lasts one minute. While active, you and
your allies within 30 feet from the shape gain a bonus to AC
equal to half your proficiency. At the end of the effect the
figure is destroyed.
Vicious: when feeling particularly cruel towards enemies,
perhaps vengeful or mean, the shape takes vicious forms that
embody these offensive thoughts. You can activate it as an
action and when you do so it emanates a vicious aura for one
minute. While active, you and your allies within 30 feet from
the shape gain a bonus damage equal to your proficiency. At
the end of the effect the figure is destroyed.
Lure of Beauty
Your art is so true to your desires and your habilities are so
heightened by your mastery that the masterpiece you create
shows a beauty that surpasses what is merely visible.
Starting at 9th level you can use your action to make your
masterpiece radiate this unearthly beauty to enlure enemies.
They just can't stop themselves from looking. It is
unexplainable, so enticing it can not be from this world!
Any enemy in a 30ft radius from your masterpiece when
first seeing it must make a Wisdom Saving Throw. On a
failed save, the enemy becomes charmed for one minute,
becoming incapacitaded and with a speed of zero.
The effect ends for an affected creature if they are attacked
or if someone else uses an action to shake the creature out of
its stupor.
After using this feature, you must finish a long rest to use it
again.
Gift of Inspiration
You were blessed with so much talent and imagination it
would be wrong not to give back to the universe. A gift so
great is meant to be shared.
Starting at 9th level you learn how to use your resting time
to create beatiful carvings that can be given as tokens of
inspiration for your friends and allies. After finishing a long
rest you can create a carved gift whose feature will affect
your party until you finish the next long rest. You must choose
one of the features bellow.
Fast as the wind: Wishing for the partie's fast and sure
arrival to its destination you carve waves, wind vanes, maybe
your conception of a hurricane. For the duration of the
feature you and your party speeds increase by 10 feet and the
travel speed gets doubled.
Heros of the ages: Imagining a bright and heroic future
you carve your idea of courage as a form. For the duration of
the feature you and your party have advantage on Saving
Throws against being frightened.
Mithridatism: Self administrating non-lethal amounts of
poison can make one resistant to its harm. You steal this
wisdom from ancient beings, and carving snake shapes or
perhaps scorpion-like images you can borrow this power. For
the duration of the feature you and your party have resistance
against poison damage.
Luck favors the bold: Hoping for the best could bend faith
to your will. It has happend before. You carve your luck with
your own hads. For the duration of the feature each member
of your party, including you, can reroll an Attack roll, Ability
check, or Saving Throw. The new roll must be used. The
feature can only be used once for each member until you
make this carving again.
Master and student: You carve precisely an image of how
to do something with such accuracy and didactic that for the
duration of the feature you and your party have proficiency in
a skill of your choice (the skill that you chose to portrait).
Complex Mind
Not just your mind's main wishes are being translated into
your sculpture, but some of its underlying desires also come
along.
Starting at 15th level, when you create a shape during your
short rest, you can give it two traits instead of only one.
Immortality
You masterpiece becomes a testimony to the immortality of
your art.
At 15th level, it gains damage resistance to bludgeoning,
piercing, and slashing from nonmagical attacks. It has
immunity to charming, exhausted, frightened, paralyzed and
petrified conditions.
Ressurection
When a piece of art truly reaches its perfection it becomes
indestructible, it can never cease to be. It retakes form in
thousands of millions of ways. A sculpture can be destroyed
but it will resurrect as another sculpture, as a song or a
paiting. It has transcended its body, it has become an idea.
At 15th level, when your masterpiece is destroyed you can
either reforge it as an action, restoring the masterpiece hit
points to full or, alternatively, as a reaction gain one extra
spell slot of your highest spell level. This spell slot lasts until
you use it or finishes your next long rest.
After you use this feature, you can't use this feature again
until you finish a long rest.
Note About Complex Mind
When you use a feature that destroys the shape
made, the remaining feature gets lost as well.
