My gnome artillerist was also my first proper D&D character. He is a toymaker that creates Transformers. His cannons are Megatron (force ballista), Grimlock (flamethrower) and Trailblazer (protector). He also has a variety of other pets, such as Laserbeak (homunculus servant) and Squawktawk (familiar). He was tricky to get into, as discussed, but always has a tool for every situation. My DM also gave him the All-purpose tool (APT) which allowed a very good combo of turning a staff into the arcane firearm, use the APT to cast shillelagh, then cast booming blade or green flame blade through it for a really hard attack, using Intelligence as the attack stat. Incredibly fun and quite powerful character, he is also level 9.
Seres Dread, revered evangelist of the ebon torch, is my Artificer with acolyte background for adventurers league. Basically a battle sister from Warhammer. Full int and con, defense infusions and 2 lvls of school of war magic wizard. She runs first into battle while yelling "FOR THE EMPEROR!", To massacre and burn anything on her path with 2 flamethrowers on her shoulders and shocking grasp flavored as a thunder sword... Ive never had so much fun before. This characters i roleplay her as a cleric that sees the machines as something divine that deserves worship. She is definitely not a rearguard pc, she is really tanky and is always going straight to the enemy face to face or to the biggest group of enemies...but she is a bit reckless and tends to even burn allies if they dont position correctly
I like to switch out or add to glassblowers kit and make tempered glass guns powered by elemental crystals like fire or ice but also with the armorer as kind of a nod to oblivion elder scrolls and give them glass parts to there armor or just completely glass armor. I don't do it with all my artificers but it's good to change it up some times.
Ideas: * True Tanking - Have the party tank carry the flame thrower on his shoulder to add more fire to help him be a greater threat and deal with multiple enemies * Thicken and Medic - give patty Barbarians the healing cannon to let them stand longer or give it to the monk and let the move the cannon to were it is needed if the party is not together * Air Force tactics - use the force ballista with your humainlous by having it grapple the cannon and fly it way over the bad guys and rain pain on them and then if either is going down, kamikaze the baddies * The Gentlemen Blaster (style points)- any wand or staff, even common ones, can act as a Arcane Firearm and focus for the dapper adventure. You cane use a Wand of Smiles or a Staff of flowers into weapons. Going from charming kids to defending them with equal aplum * War-Artillerist (Slightly more power multi class) - Start as Artificer, 2 level of Warlock, then Artillerist. Effectively the biggest issue is that you could run out is spell slots considering the good spell list of the subclass. Using the pact magic you always can make a cannon. (DM allowing you can focus though the wand as well with your EB) Any warlock will do but I believe the Celestial (with the ranged heal and extra Cantrips) and Genie (Bottled Respite and Genis’s Wraith) make excellent choices.
@@darnell1391 This is going to be a tricky one but I believe in your ability to follow the steps. 1. type 'Viva La Dirt League D&D' into the RUclips search bar.
Early take. A lot of gunsmiths have a background In multiple forms of manufacturing (I work in this field). Most guns are compsite material products. A wood stock for your metal rifle.
Hey can you ask that Spotify not put politicians ads on your stuff cause imma be honest I’m not here to listen to criminal stats or anything like that when looking for D&D podcasts ya know
I guess you could go to one of Rob's stream (RobertHartleyGM on twitch) and ask him how he did it :) Streaming/uploading videos of your sessions could be it, or you could be like a 'freelance' and have people pay you for DMing their sessions, but I guess they would like some kind of 'book' to evaluate if you are worth the price first ...

Aww thanks!

Oh shit, I didn't know you guys had Rob on. That's awesome.

* Thicken and Medic - give patty Barbarians the healing cannon to let them stand longer or give it to the monk and let the move the cannon to were it is needed if the party is not together
* Air Force tactics - use the force ballista with your humainlous by having it grapple the cannon and fly it way over the bad guys and rain pain on them and then if either is going down, kamikaze the baddies
* The Gentlemen Blaster (style points)- any wand or staff, even common ones, can act as a Arcane Firearm and focus for the dapper adventure. You cane use a Wand of Smiles or a Staff of flowers into weapons. Going from charming kids to defending them with equal aplum

I LOVE VIVA LA DIRT LEAUGE!!
Glad to hear it! Hope you've been watching the D&D campaign then!

I love it Robert is cool will check out his stuff and pillow featherfall is great!
My kobold artillerist was the party healer with the Temps hp and healer feat it worked out pretty great
Think the reason for wood working tools for artificers is do to carpenters use to make the catapults and trebuchets for sieges.

I'm very serious, how does one become a professional dungeon master? It my dream job
By streaming your sessions and uploading them onto multiple platforms
I guess you could go to one of Rob's stream (RobertHartleyGM on twitch) and ask him how he did it :)
Streaming/uploading videos of your sessions could be it, or you could be like a 'freelance' and have people pay you for DMing their sessions, but I guess they would like some kind of 'book' to evaluate if you are worth the price first ...
My income comes from lots of avenues. Some from hiring me as DM, some from Twitch, some from RUclips,, some from Patreon, some from merch sales.
