Weapons Engineering
You are skilled in the design and engineering of weapons. Choose a type of weapon or ammunition for which you are adept at improving. Your Weaponsmith level determines the number of weapon or ammunition groups that you can improve, as shown in the Adept Weapons column of the Weaponsmith table. The properties of the chosen weapon types will dictate which improvements from the Weapon Improvements list can be applied.
Activating a weapon improvement requires a number of activation points listed for the improvement being activated. You cannot activate multiple improvements simultaneously during an action unless a class feature specifies otherwise. You also cannot activate an improvement on a weapon that currently has an active improvement effect unless a class feature specifies otherwise. Your Weaponsmith level determines the number of activation points you have, as shown in the Activation Points column of the Weaponsmith table. When you spend activation points, they are unavailable until you finish a long rest, at the end of which you regain all spent activation points.
Adept Weapon Type groups that you can choose from are:
Axes: Hand-axe, Battleaxe, Greataxe, War Pick
Blades, Heavy: Great-Sword, Long-Sword, Scimitar
Blades, Light: Dagger, Sickle, Rapier, Short-Sword
Bows: Shortbow, Longbow, Arrows
Crossbows: Light Crossbow, Hand Crossbow, Heavy Crossbow, Bolts
Hammers, Light: Club, Light Hammer, Mace, Morning-star
Hammers, Heavy: Great-Club, Flail, Maul, War-hammer
Polearms: Quarterstaff, Glaive, Halberd
Spears: Spear, Javelin, Lance, Pike, Trident
Special: Any single weapon not listed above may be selected. If it is a ranged weapon, you can work with it and its ammunition.

Efficient Workmanship
At 3rd level, when you attempt an improvement using a tool you are proficient with and successfully pass the ability check, the time and cost needed to complete the improvement is reduced by 1/2. On a critical success, the time and cost is reduced to 1/4.
At 6th level, as an action or a bonus action, you can gift one improved weapon to a friendly creature within 5 feet of you along with a number of activation points equal to half your Weaponsmith level, rounded up. If they are proficient with the weapon type, they can activate the weapon improvement on their turn by spending activation points given to them.

Weapon Improvements
With your Weapons Engineering feature, you can apply the improvements listed in this section to any number of weapons or ammunition of a type that you are adept at improving, provided the prerequisites are satisfied and your Weaponsmith level is not less than the improvement level. Each weapon or ammunition can only have one improvement implemented at a time unless a class feature specifies otherwise or the improvement requires the existing one. If the improvement requires a tool to complete, an ability check using that tool must be made against a DC equal to twice the improvement level. This ability check is made half-way through the time spent working on the improvement. If the improvement requires multiple tools, an ability check must be made for each tool. If any ability checks are failed, the improvement is not completed but half the cost is recovered. The DC for an improvement is halved for every past successful or unsuccessful attempt at making the improvement. Any weapon improvements that do not expire can be removed during a long rest, unless otherwise stated. All ammunition improvements are permanent.
When activated, some improvements require your target to make a saving throw to resist the effect. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:
Effect save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier
The Weaponsmith is all about creativity and customization. Your DM might allow other weapon improvements that are not listed here, provided they are fair.
Masterful Honing: 1st Level
You diligently sharpen your blade in a way that is perfectly tailored to your fighting technique. You can spend 30 minutes during a short or long rest to dutifully care for a blade. For the next 24 hours, if a creature is hit with this weapon, you must spend one activation point. You then add your Intelligence modifier to the damage roll in addition to other damage modifiers. If you have no remaining activation points, the attack becomes a regular attack.
Prerequisites: A whetstone, oil, and a melee weapon that deals slashing or piercing damage, provided it can be sharpened.
Counterweight: 1st Level
You understand the mechanics behind accelerating large masses quickly and accurately. You can spend 1d4 + 1 hours and 10 gp during a long or a short rest perfectly balancing a heavy weapon or a weapon that deals bludgeoning damage. When making an attack with a balanced weapon, you can choose to spend one activation point to attempt to knock the target prone. If the attack hits, the target must make a successful Strength saving throw against your effect DC or be knocked prone, taking an extra 1d4 bludgeoning damage.
Prerequisites: Counterweight material such as lead, a weapon that deals bludgeoning damage or that has the heavy property.
Barrel Tapered Arrow: 1st Level

Balanced Flight: 2nd Level
You understand how subtleties in the balance of a thrown weapon can affect its flight. You can spend 2d4 + 2 hours near a blacksmith's furnace and 18 gp carefully reshaping a weapon specifically for throwing. The throwing range of the improved weapon is doubled. When making a ranged attack with this weapon, you must spend one activation point and then add your Intelligence modifier to the attack roll. If the improved weapon is used for a melee attack, it does not require an activation point but inflicts half the damage the normal weapon would cause.
Prerequisites: Blacksmith's tools and a weapon with the thrown property.
Hilt Blade: 3rd Level
You can spend 3d4 + 3 hours and 31 gp constructing a hidden blade in the hilt or handle of your weapon. When a creature in range of your weapon misses a melee attack against you or when a creature within 5 feet of you attacks an ally, you can spend one activation point and use your reaction to attack the creature. This reaction attack uses the same ability modifier as the primary weapon for the attack roll but deals 1d4 + your Intelligence modifier in damage.

Alternatively, you can spend 5d4 + 5 hours and 77 gp constructing a scabbard designed to keep a blade oiled. As an action, you can choose to spend two activation points to ignite the oiled weapon. If a target is hit by an attack made with the weapon while it is ignited, it takes an additional 1d6 fire damage. The weapon is extinguished after 1 minute or by using a bonus action. While the weapon is ignited you cannot sheath it and the improvement is considered active. Once the oil has burned out, the weapon cannot be ignited again until it is polished and more oil is applied. At 11th level and again at 17th level, you make your concoction burn hotter, increasing the additional fire damage by 1d6.

The target then takes an additional 1d8 bludgeoning damage. In addition, each creature within 5 feet of the impact, including the target, must make a Constitution saving throw against your effect DC. On a failed save, the creature suffers 2d8 thunder damage, and is deafened for 1 minute. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage and is not deafened. You must also make a Constitution saving throw with advantage against your spell effect DC. The explosion destroys the weapon. At 12th level and again at 18th level, the additional thunder damage is doubled and the effect range is increased by 5 feet.
Prerequisites: Tinker's tools, sulfur, charcoal, saltpeter, and a melee weapon that deals bludgeoning damage.
Antirequisites: Advanced Concussive Slam

You develop a specialized serrated pattern that causes bleeding upon hitting the target. By spending 6 hours and 10 gp near a furnace, you can construct three serrated arrows/bolts or for 6d4 +6 hours and 115 gp, improve one melee weapon. When making an attack with a serrated edge, you must spend one activation point. If the attack hits, and the creature has blood, the creature must make a successful Constitution saving throw against your effect DC or it takes 1d4 bleed damage at the start of each of the its turns. The creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns. If the creature receives any healing or successfully makes the saving throw, the bleed effect is ended. Any bleed damage inflicted in this way can compound. At 10th level and again at 14th, 18th, and 20th level, the bleed damage die increases by one increment up to 1d12 at 20th level.

Compound cams achieve more efficient torque so that the resulting weapon is permanently improved and is considered a +1 nonmagical ranged weapon. Any magical properties that the weapon previously had are destroyed by this improvement. As an action, you can choose to spend two activation points to make a powerful Line Shot attack by triggering a special mechanism built into the compound cams. The attack targets all creatures in a line originating from you within the range of the weapon. A separate attack roll is made for each creature. The first creature in the line that is hit takes an additional 2d4 piercing damage, the second creature in the line that is hit takes an additional 1d4 piercing damage, the third creature in the line that is hit takes no additional damage. The attack automatically misses all creatures behind the third creature that is hit. The mechanism cannot be used again until it is reset. Reseting the mechanism takes 1 minute or a bonus action by spending one activation point. Any improvements activated simultaneously with the Line Shot attack only apply their additional effect to the first creature hit.

You develop a cryogenic fluid that is placed in a special glass arrowhead that shatters upon impact, rapidly cooling the target area. You can spend 8 hours near a glassblower's furnace and 19 gp constructing three cryogenic arrows/bolts. When making a ranged attack with a cryogenic arrow or bolt, you must spend one activation point. The effective range of the weapon decreases by 1/2 for that attack. If the attack hits, the target creature takes an additional 1d8 cold damage and must make a successful Constitution saving throw against your effect DC at the beginning of its next turn or immediately suffer one temporary level of exhaustion. The creature can repeat the saving throw at the beginning of each of its turns. Temporary levels of exhaustion can compound causing the same effects as regular exhaustion with the exception that 6 levels of exhaustion cause the creature to fall to zero hit points. One temporary level of exhaustion is removed if the affected creature successfully makes the saving throw, receives any healing, or 1 minute passes. This ammunition is nonrecoverable. At 13th level the additional cold damage increases to 2d8.
Prerequisites: Alchemist's supplies and Glassblower's tools, three empty vials, three arrows or bolts.
Antirequisites: Napalm Shot, Anticoagulant Solution, Lightning Shot
Anticoagulant Solution: 8th Level

When making an attack with ammunition coated in this way, you must spend one activation point and the coating is lost. If a creature is hit by a melee weapon coated with this solution, you must spend one activation point and the coating is lost. If hit, the creature must make a Constitution saving throw against your effect DC. On a failure, any damage the creature takes from a bleed effect is doubled for the next 10 minutes. This effect cannot be applied more than once.

By spending 9d4 + 9 hours and 351 gp, you can improve a bludgeoning weapon made of metal that has the Concussive Slam improvement. Whenever a target is hit with the improved weapon, a focused explosion causes an additional +2 thunder damage. In addition, when an attack hits, you can choose to spend two activation points to trigger the Concussive Slam effect without destroying the weapon. However, the mechanism cannot be used again until it is reset. Reseting the mechanism takes 1 minute or a bonus action by spending one activation point.
