Lapidary[edit]
Artificer Subclass
Lapidtary specialize in just about everything related to gemstones, and they are often employed in places where large amounts of treasures are kept. Many have found ways to rise rapidly through the ranks of nobility through both bribery and honest labor, securing positions of power with their exotic magic. When it comes to gems, very little escapes their keen eyes.
- Tool Proficiency
When you take this specialization at 3rd level, you gain proficiency in jeweler's tools. If you already have this proficiency, you gain proficiency in one other type of artisan's tools of your choice.
- Lapidtary Spells
Starting at 3rd level, you always have certain spells prepared after you reach particular levels in this class, as shown in the Lepidary Spells table. These spells count as artificer spells for you, but they don’t count against the number of artificer spells you prepare.
Lapidtary Spells
| Artificer Level | Spells |
|---|---|
| 3rd | chromatic orb, earth tremor |
| 5th | Maximillian's earthen grasp, shatter |
| 9th | erupting earth, meld into stone |
| 13th | fabricate, stone shape |
| 17th | scrying, transmute rock |
- Conjure Gemstone
When you reach 3rd level, your combat training and your experiments with magic have paid off, as a part of long rest, you can use jeweler's tools to conjure nonmagical gemstones. This gemstone will be uncut and unpolished and can be used as a typical gemstone only for spellcasting component and imbue magic. Gemstones cannot be used for selling and crafting due to their properties which resemble of a stained glass. You can have number of gemstones by this feature up to your Intelligence modifier. Total value of gemstones you created which you have at a time by this feature must not more than 50 gp.
You are able to conjure more valuable gemstones when you gain more level in this class. The maximum total value becomes 300 gp at 5th level, 500 gp at 9th level, and 1,000 gp at 13th level, and 5,000 gp at 17th level.
In addition, You gain the following benefits:
- Whenever you make a Intelligence (Arcana) check concerning gemstones, you are considered proficient in the Arcana skill, and can add double your proficiency bonus, instead of your normal proficiency bonus.
- You are able to tell the exact location of any gemstone within 15 feet of you.
- Enchanted Gem
Also at 3rd level, you have learned to utilize the focal properties of gemstones in your own innate magic. Whenever you finish a long rest, you can magically imbue a gemstone you touch with magical properties. Choose a property from the Enchanted Gem table below; the more valuable a gemstone is, the more properties available for you to imbue. Gemstones with a higher value can have lower-valued properties applied to them.
You can create additional enchanted gems by expending a spell slot of 1st level or higher for each one. When you do so, you use your action to create imbue a gemstone you touch, and you choose the gem's effect from the Enchanted Gem table. You may imbue an enchanted gem with an additional property by expending a spell slot of 3rd level or higher for each one.
Creating an enchanted gem requires you to have jeweler's tools on your person, and any enchanted gem you create with this feature will retain its magical properties until the end of your next long rest or you choose it to retain its magical properties indefinitely (equal your your Intelligence modifier at a time). When you reach certain levels in this class, you can freely make more enchanted gems at the end of a long rest: two at 6th level and three at 15th level. Each enchanted gem requires its own separate gemstone.

- Bijou Helper
At 5th level, you have become so in tune with the magical nature of gemstones that you are able to use them to create life in the form of a Bijou Helper. It's friendly to you and your companions, and it obeys your commands. See its game statistics in the Bijou Helper stat block, which uses your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places. You determine the creature's appearance and whether it has two legs or four; your choice has no effect on its game statistics.
In combat, the helper shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes on its turn is the Help action unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other available action. If you are incapacitated, the helper will switch to only taking the Hide action. If it cannot hide, it will instead take the Dash action and avoid combat.
If the mending spell is cast on it, it regains 2d6 hit points. If it has died within the last hour, you can use your jeweler's tools as an action to revive it, provided you are within 5 feet of it and you expend a spell slot of 1st level or higher. The bijou helper returns to life after 1 minute with all its hit points restored.
At the end of a long rest, you can create a new Bijou Helper if you have jeweler's tools with you. If you already have a helper from this feature, the first one immediately disintegrates. The helper also disintegrates if you die.

The spell ends if you dismiss it as an action or if you use it again. You can also attack with the sphere, although doing so ends the effect. When you use this action, or as an action on a later turn, the helper shoot the sphere as a magical beam at a creature within 30 feet of it. The attack hits if their AC is less than your spellsave DC. On a hit, the target takes 1d8 force, fire, or radiant damage, or half as much damage on a successful one.
