I solve practical problems, for instance: how am I going to stop some mean mother Hubbard from tearing me a structurally superfluous be-hind? The answer, use a gun, and if that don't work... Use more gun. Take for instance this heavy caliber tripod mounted lil' old number designed by me, built by me, and you best hope... Not pointed at you."

      The Kobold mech jocky is actually really strong. Take Mounted Combatant and suddenly the majority of attacks against you are at disadvantage, you can have a massive armor class, you get Absorb Elements and Shield, and with your Steel Defender being within five feet means you always have pack tactics active. My DM allowed the party to each pick one uncommon magic item as a reward and I'm eyeing the Wand of Magic Missiles as who doesn't want to fire swarms of missiles while piloting a mech suit?

      Same with the oozes' acid - nonmagic only. They all got nerfed in 5e apparently. It used to hit magic stuff, as well, with each + giving the item a percentage chance to resist to effect. Oh well.
      As a DM, I guess if I got really sick of artificer shenanigans, I might whip up a magic-eating beastie that brought that fear back, maybe a group of them raised as pets by Luddite goblins or something. That would be a fun encounter. Or there's the Rust Dragon...

      Sooooo how is this class not broken again? You have a character that can build and replicate wondrous items, can enchant items permanently and apparently can make indestructible mounts.
      I don't think there's any remaining homebrew or UA out there that can break the game as much as this class (except maybe Mystic and Super Saiyan).
      Not to be that guy, but when they do stuff like this they lose players who get fed up with the game being unbalanced. They should fix the core mechanics of the game first before they go fooling around with an OP remix of the wizard.

      If you were level 1, that's why. 5e level 1 is horribly swingy. A goblin rolled good damage two times? Or even worse, crit you? Could get downed instantly. Lvl 1 has so low hp.
      My friend had a monk who rolled godlike stats (nothing under 14 iirc, and 18+ in all the key stats). A goblin crit him and he instantly went down.
      A number of classes can start the game with sub 10hp. You don't need to have seen much 5e to realise how a 1d6+2 (that's low lvl monster damage, right?) could reduce the 6-17 hp a lvl 1 character might have to zero right quick.

    Theoretically, with the way verbal components are actually used in spellcasting, the infusion that lets you record and play messages can let you use verbal only cantrips by itself.
    To simplify further, the item would play the verbal components and cast the spell. Verbal components are the specific sounds and pitches, so according to PH spellcasting section, an item could theoretically just cast something every six seconds or so if you really wanted it. Or, a non faster could utilize it for something simple.

      I've seen it in action in one of my campaigns. It's not the numbers that make it weird, it's that certain abilities are worded in a way that makes them borked or subtly stronger.
      Did you know that a mystic with the restoration discipline has a revivify that has no costly components?
      Did you know the nomadic mind discipline can make you proficient with ANY SKILL as a bonus action? (Side note, pair that with a lvl 11 rogue for truly disgusting synergy)
      Note also how one discipline grants you damage against a target, guaranteed. No save, no attack, 60 ft range. They just take psychic damage. 1d8 per psi point (at level 5 that's 5d8 for 5psi out of your 27 for the day).
      There's also the bonus action for 2psi that reveals one monster's; current exact hp as well as all resistances, vulnerabilities and immunities of said creature. Range? "A creature you can see", no other range stipulated.
      Abilities like those mentioned above clearly need another pass to tone them down. Only a few are lore-wizard UA level stupid (mostly those mentioned above) but many of them have weird phrasings that make CC durations oppressively long or makes the ability considerably stronger in practice than it seems at first glance. Enough of those and it can get a little dumb. I can see how a mystic in the hands of a munchkinny player could be a nightmare for a DM. It takes a player playing it in good faith and/or being ready that DM might nerf CERTAIN abilities.
      TLDR: Overall the mystic isn't "BUSTED, ZOMG, WILL BREAK THE GAME LOLOLOLOL" but is due to weird wordings, and a key few abilities being a little too strong, ripe for abuse.
      Not super borked but ripe for abuse. That's where I put the mystic.
