Aviator — Artificer Specialisation
Many artificers create a variety of trinkets and have a multitude of interests. But you have always been fascinated by the sky, by flight — to boldly challenge gravity with your inventions.
And now, after much trial and error, you have finally succeeded in creating a machine that gives you the gift of flight.
Level 3: Tool Proficiency
When you adopt this specialisation at 3rd level, you gain proficiency in leatherworker’s tools. If you already have this proficiency, you gain proficiency with one other type of artisan’s tools of your choice.
Level 3: Aviator Spells
Starting at 3rd level, you always have certain spells prepared after you reach particular levels in this class, as shown in the Aviator Spells table. These spells count as artificer spells for you, but they don’t count against the number of artificer spells you prepare.
Aviator Spells
Level Spell
3rd Fog Cloud, Zephyr Strike
5th Gust of Wind, Warding Wind
9th Lightning Bolt, Wind Wall
13th Freedom of Movement, Storm Sphere
17th Control Winds, Steel Wind Strike
Level 3: Battle Ready
When you reach 3rd level, your combat training and your experiments with magic have paid off in two ways:
- You gain proficiency with martial weapons.
- When you attack with a magic weapon, you can use your Intelligence modifier, instead of Strength or Dexterity modifier, for the attack and damage rolls.
