Arcane Rifleman[edit]
Artificer Subclass
Sometimes a tinkerer of Arcane items decides they require better protection or want to hit back harder. They gain visions of staffs and wands but none could compare to the vision of a device that would focus the Arcane energy similar to a staff but with stronger and more precise damage.
- Spell-Rifle
When adopting this specialisation at 3rd level, you gain proficiency in firearms and achieve the vision of your new spellcasting focus, the "Spell-Rifle" which you can craft over the course of a Long Rest providing you have at least 2 items that class as Arcane foci, please select a damage type when acquiring this rifle, the damage type can be changed during a long rest (The Spell-Rifle can only be wielded by other Arcane Riflemen).
