1 new playable Artificer Specialist Subclass: The Magebreeder.
5 additional magebreeder infusion enhancements (based on the mutations table in Eberron: Rising From The Last War page 200).
1 NPC statblock for a Stealthy Magebreeder - for DM's to drop straight into their encounters.
3 Magebred Beast statblocks, and the necessary rules framework to create more.
Notes on integrating magebreeders into your world, and some possible adventure hooks featuring them.
All artificers make a point of learning from nature, but magebreeders have taken that a stage further - using animal husbandry, selective breeding, vivisection, infusions and arcane magic to create and train powerful creatures that mimic spell effects. Magebreeders work as closely with nature as druids or rangers but seek to master and shape rather than protect or survive. Some work subtly, growing and developing alternative animals that look almost natural, others are brutal - taking surgical and magical shortcuts to create unnatural-looking brutes. Magebreeders study of animal life often makes them effective emergency battlefield healers - although those healed by them may bear both physical and emotional scars.
This subclass is intended for use in conjunction with the Artificer class as presented in Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything. It is an attempt to capture the feeling of Eberron based magebreeding without limiting Players who might wish to magebreed in other contexts (We think this works quite well in Ravenloft too). Hopefully we’ve managed to allow the creation of some interesting companion creatures whilst remaining balanced and not overloading on complexity.
