    Edit: since everyone wants to know how to do this, I asked my friend and he said that he used an artificer spell from 3.5e, but he misinterpreted what it meant, so he basically made up a spell. And don’t ask me which one, because I don’t know.

    Fun story: in a game I’m in, one of our players, who isn’t an artificer but did something I believe an artificer should be able to do, he made napalm, using his real world knowledge on how to make them, he gave my character, a Half Orc Bard Fighter 10 bolts that were dipped in the stuff, a few games later, I used one on a flaming enemy, forgetting that it would create a 10 feet cube of fire damage, one of the fellow players, a full Orc Barbarian. Was right next to the enemy, his character got knocked down, but survived, but later. The original player who made the napalm, a Triten Monk, took the bolts back and went to blow up a ship, he was caught as he was making his escape, his character was caught in a massive explosion that killed his character, but the DM gave him a chance to survive, which he did and now he has magic ghost fists... this game is still going...

And the character, whom was playfully nicknamed sticks, decided to use the lowly stick to show that magic flows through everything. (due to game mechanics i chose to go with sticks) Anyways, artificer was the best class to make, use, and sell magic while telling the world of his ideas on magic.

    It's called the Arcanist and lets you swap out known infusions once a week, convert infused items into permanently enchanted ones (basically by giving you a discount on the enchantment rules and an expanded infusion list), and you can also have all of your +whatever items be more effective and give a +4 to one enchanted item an ally has for a short time. That last one has a side effect of causing the item to burn out after a minute if you use the action, at which point it needs 10 minutes to be able to do anything again. But it can also be used as a way to temporarily disable cursed items too, since all magical effects are stopped by the burnout.

    Man, reading all these comments about the various flavors of BOOM, and here's my artificer who managed to make a piece of tech that collected and stored arcane energy to power a potbelly stove with arms and a face called Stonewall.
    He also shot lazers, could punch through stone, grow LORGE, and spoke like a steam vent. And she rocked the fantasy equivalent of a .50 cal rifle in a crossbow.

    My DM added some extra fun to artificers by making it so a failed tinkers check could still make a working device, it’s just the effect of said device does something random based off the wild magic surge table and none of the players are allowed to know what it does until the device is activated. We used the extended wild magic surge table and one of the devices I created ended up being a bracelet that, unknown to us, created a platinum piece in the pocket of your greatest enemy every time you touch the bracelet. Our greatest enemy was a rebel leader who A) had tried to kill us more times than I can count and B) was just in general a pervy prick. Our ranger had a kleptomaniac monkey and after we found it had no noticeable effect, we threw it in the bag of holding, after which Captain, the monkey, took it out and started playing with it. By the time we got back to the kingdom, the economy had crashed and rebels held most of the land because Captain playing with the bracelet gave the rebels near endless funding. That influx of money destroyed the economy and we had to spend the next dozen sessions saving the kingdom from the mess we inadvertently caused

      Bet you going in like "we'll solve this, just give us all the money and then the economy is saved and the bandits will be eliminated"
      It would have been great if the DM made it so one of you guys kept gaining the money and the monkey was secretly your enemy all along.

    Our artificer ended up having a mech battle that no one, not even me DMing, saw coming. And it all happened because a night hag managed to polymorph her into a rat while her steel guardian mastiff was nearby. How can you say "no" when there's opportunity for someone play a rat piloting a robot dog in a fight?
