Wastelander[edit]
Artificer Subclass
- Vehicle Proficiency
When you adopt this specialization at 3rd level, you can add your proficiency bonus to ability checks made to pilot or repair land vehicles.
- Wastelander Spells
Starting at 3rd level, you always have certain spells prepared after you reach particular levels in this class, as shown in the Wastelander Spells table. These spells count as artificer spells for you, but they don’t count against the number of artificer spells you prepare.

| 3rd | compelled duel, searing smite |
| 5th | aganazzar's scorcher, cordon of arrows |

- Scrap Weapons
Beginning at 3rd level, whenever you finish a long rest, you can craft a scrap weapon in an empty hand.
When crafting a scrap weapon, choose a simple weapon and a modification, once the long rest is finished, the weapon you chose will be constructed with the modification you chose built into it.
You can only have 2 assembled scrap weapons at any time, to create additional scrap weapons you must disassemble an existing scrap weapon over the course of a long rest. You can create a new scrap weapon during the same long rest you disassemble a scrap weapon.
If a scrap weapon is ever lost or destroyed, you must salvage the materials to create a new weapon over the course a long rest.
Creating a scrap weapon requires you to have smith’s tools, Tinker’s tools or thieves tools supplies on your person, and any scrap weapon you assemble with this feature lasts until it is destroyed or disassembled during a long rest.
- Weapon Modifications
When at 3rd level, you can customize scrap weapons you craft with magical attachments. When you do so, choose an applicable weapon mod from the list below. The mod you choose gives your weapon special benefits. You can change a scrap weapon's mod whenever you finish a short or long rest, provided you have smith’s tools, Tinker’s tools or thieves tools supplies on your person. Ranged weapons that fire special projectiles due to their mod still use their normal ammo as usual, the ammo is transformed upon firing the weapon.
