Candy Transformation[edit]

At 1st level, you've learned how to transform mundane organic objects into candy. To use this ability, you must have alchemists supplies or artisan's tools in hand. You then touch a Tiny nonmagical organic object as an action. It becomes a candy of your choose with the same size. The transformation ends when consumed or after 24 hours.

When you use candy transform, you may enchant it and give it one of the following magical properties of your choice:

Glow: The candy sheds bright light in a 5-foot radius and dim light for an additional 5 feet. When consumed, the user has the same glow as the candy.

Message: Whenever tapped by a creature, the candy emits a recorded message that can be heard up to 10 feet away. You utter the message when you bestow this property on the candy, and the recording can be no more than 6 seconds long. When consumed, the user can perfectly repeat the stored message. When they are tapped by a creature, they make an intelligence save vs your spell dc (8 + you charisma modifier + your proficiency modifier) or be compelled to speak out the message.

Phenomenon The candy continuously emits your choice of an odor or a nonverbal sound (wind, waves, chirping, or the like). The chosen phenomenon is perceivable up to 10 feet away. When consumed, the user has the same phenomenon as the candy.

Illusionary A static visual effect appears on one of the candy's surfaces. This effect can be a picture, up to 25 words of text, lines and shapes, or a mixture of these elements, as you like. When consumed, part or all of the user (chosen by the user) is under the same effects as the candy.

The chosen enchantment lasts indefinitely. As an action, you can touch the candy or creature and end the property early.

You can enchant multiples candies and creatures, touching one candy each time you use this feature, though a single candy or creature can only bear one enchantment at a time. The maximum number of candies and creatures you can affect with this feature at one time is equal to half of your Charisma modifier (minimum of one candy or creature). If you try to exceed your maximum, the oldest enchantment immediately ends, and then the new enchantment applies.

Infuse Candy[edit]

At 1st level, you've gained the ability to imbue mundane candy with certain magical infusions, turning those candy into magic candy.

Infusions Known

When you gain this feature, one candy infusion to learn. You learn additional infusions of your choice when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown in the Candy Infusions column of the Candyman table.

Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of the candy infusions you learned with a new one.

Infusing a Candy

Whenever you finish a long rest, you can touch a nonmagical candy and imbue it with one of your candy infusions, turning it into a magic candy. Your infusion remains in a candy indefinitely, but when you die, the infusion vanishes after a number of days equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1 day). The infusion also vanishes if you replace your knowledge of the infusion.

You can infuse more than one nonmagical candy at the end of a long rest; the maximum number of candies appears in the Candy Infusion column of the Candyman table. You must touch each of the candies, and each of your infusions can be in only one candy at a time. Moreover, no candy can bear more than one of your infusions at a time. If you try to exceed your maximum number of infusions, the oldest infusion ends, and then the new infusion applies.

Candied Items[edit]

At 1st level, you can coat an item with candy to create a fragile but powerful effects. Whenever you finish a long rest, you can touch a nonmagical object and cover it in cady, turning it into a magic candied item. Your candied remains on an item indefinitely, but when you die, the candied vanishes after a number of days equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1 day). Some candied items have a saving throw which is 8 + your strength or dexterity modifier + your proficiency bonus.

Each candied object has candy charges equal to half of your Candyman levels (minimum 1). Unlike most magic item, candied items automatically uses a charge whenever it is used. When all charges are used up, candied items appear to be a normal items as all the candy covering it has been destroyed. After a short or long rest, candied items regenerate all the charges and once more it is covered up with candy.

You can only have one candied item at a time. If you attempt to create a new candied item, the previous item looses the candied effect.

Weapon

Each time a candied weapon deals damage, it automatically expends a candy charge and deal an extra 1d4 damage and apply one of the following effects depending on the type of candy that is covering the weapon. When all charges are gone, it no longer can deal extra damage nor apply special effects.

Candy Corn: The most hated candy in existence. The target must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the target has disadvantage on all attack rolls against targets other than you until the end of your next turn.

Guts and Eye Gummy Gummy that is molded to appear like guts. When candied weapon is swung, the guts gummy moves to reveal the hidden eye gummy. The target must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, it is frightened of you until the end of your next turn.

Licorice Vine like candy that whips out when swung. This candied weapon's reach is increased by 5 ft.

Pop Rocks When hit, it creates a distracting and unexpected loud pop. The next attack roll against the target by an attacker other than you has advantage if the attack is made before the start of your next turn.

Taffy: The sickest candy in the world. The target must make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, one item that your choice is stuck to your candied weapon. Anyone, including foes, can use an item interaction to easily pull the item from the candied weapon.

Shield and Armor

Each time a creature using a candied shield or wearing a candied weapon, it automatically expends a candy charge and AC is increased by 1d4, possibly turning a hit into a miss. This increased AC last until the start of your turn. It cannot do this again until the start of your next turn. When AC is increased this way, one of the following effects happen depending on the candy type:

Gum The stretchy gum flings back some of the energy caused by an attack. The target must make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, you push it back 10 ft.

Marshmallow The pillow like candy absorbs and bonce back some of the attack back to the attacker. The target must make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, you make them prone.

Jaw Breaker The hardest candy to be ever created. This only can be applied on shield. As a reaction, you can block an incoming melee attack and increase your AC to this attack equal to your strength modifier.

Food

When bitten or licked, it automatically loose a charge and grants an effect depending on the candy:

Chocolate It is known that cholate beans are good for your health. When consumed, gain 1d4 plus your charisma modifier of temporary hit points.

Life Savers Donut shaped candy. It got its name because unlike most hard candy, it cannot be chocked on by accident due to the hole in the center. When consumed, heal 1d4 hit points.

Sugar Crystals A thin layer of sugar crystals coat the food. When consumed, the next ability check adds 1d4 to the result. This last for 1 minute.

Spellcasting[edit]

Candy making is easy to start and hard to master. A little of magic birthed from years of studying can help to bridge that gap. Simple to an artificer, you use objects and inventions to create your magic.

Tools Required

You produce your artificer spell effects through your tools. You must have a spellcasting focus - specifically alchemist's supplies or some kind of artisan's tool - in hand when you cast any spell with this Spellcasting feature (meaning the spell has an "M" component when you cast it). You must be proficient with the tool to use it in this way. See the equipment chapter in the Player's Handbook for descriptions of these tools.

You can also use any candy bearing one of your infusions as a spellcasting focus.

Cantrips (0-Level Spells)

At 2nd level, you know two cantrips of your choice from the artificer spell list. At higher levels, you learn additional artificer cantrips of your choice, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Candyman table.

When you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of the artificer cantrips you know with another cantrip from the artificer spell list.

Spells Prepare of 1st Level and Higher

You prepare two 1st-level spells of your choice from the artificer spell list.

The Spells Prepare column of the Candyman table shows when you learn more artificer spells of your choice. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach 6th level in this class, you can prepare one new spell of 1st or 2nd level.

You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of artificer spells requires time spent tinkering with your spellcasting focuses: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.

Spellcasting Ability

Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your artificer spells, since your magic is more of an art than science and formula. You use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for an artificer spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier

Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier

Ritual Casting

You can cast an artificer spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell prepared.

Magic Candy[edit]

At 2nd level, you can store magic into a candy. As an action and appropriate spellslot, you can touch one candy or transformed candy, and you store any non-cantrip spell in it. This spell must be in the artificer spell list that requires 1 action to cast and you need to have it prepared. The spell remains in the candy until you regain your spellslot (long rest).

While holding the magic candy, a creature can take an action to consume the candy and cast the spell on themselves, using your spellcasting ability modifier. If the spell ordinally uses an attack roll, it instead requires a constitution saving throw vs your spell save or take the full effects of the spell. If the spell requires concentration, the creature must concentrate. They cannot drop concentration unless you allow it to happen.

When a creature, that does not require to eat, tries to consume Magic Candy, the magic storied in the candy becomes toxic. They must make a constitution saving throw vs your spell save or take 1d8 poison damage + 1d8 for each spellslot used. The original spell in the Magic Candy is gone. Magic Candies created by you, they work normally on you even if you do not require to eat.

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Sugar Rush[edit]

At 7th level, with a bit of magic, you can use sugar in your candy to boast the consumer. When you or another creature you can see within 30 feet of you, eats any candy, you can use your reaction to give them a sugar rush.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Candyman is Everywhere[edit]

You can listen to sounds as if your are a the candy's location until the start of your next turn. During this time, you are deaf to all sounds around your body.

Additionally, as action you can teleport to the nearest safe location of a Magic Candy of your choice. This process destroy the Magic Candy. The maximum distant that you can teleport depends on the spell's level stored in the candy as seen in Teleportation Distance table below.
