Für dieses Jahr sind nur wenige Dungeons & Dragons Bücher angekündigt, darunter eine Abenteuer-Anthology mit ganz viel Drachen und neue Übersichtsbände für die Vergessenen Reiche, das Setting in dem auch Baldurs Gate III spielt. Es ist jedoch noch ein weiteres Buch angekündigt worden, nämlich Eberron: Forge of the Artificer. Dieser Erweiterungsband für D&Ds Steampunk-Setting kommt zwar erst im August raus, Controller-Reporter Lukas hat aber jetzt schon eine spannende Alternative für diejenigen, die dringend ein bisschen Eberron an ihren Spieltischen brauchen: Frontiers of Eberron: Quickstone.

Ever wanted to play an Artificer so obsessed with maps that they can literally teleport via doodles, yet still somehow get lost? Buckle up, because the Cartographer subclass is here to turn your D&D campaign into a magical GPS adventure—complete with rerouting, questionable shortcuts, and the occasional teleportation mishap straight into a dragon's lair! Episode Summary In this thrilling episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, the hosts embark on a magical journey through the latest Unearthed Arcana updates for the Artificer class, complete with a hearty dose of laughter and debate. They begin by dissecting the major changes to the Artificer's core mechanics and subclass features, including an in-depth look at the newest addition to the Artificer family: the Cartographer subclass—because what every adventuring party really needs is a sentient GPS that may or may not lead them into a pit of doom. The discussion unfolds with an analysis of the Adventures Atlas, a magical mapping system that aims to redefine exploration mechanics but also raises questions about just how useful a glowing, teleporting map can be in the middle of combat. Can you really fight a dragon while scribbling out escape routes? The hosts weigh in. From there, the conversation pivots to a much larger topic—the role of exploration in 5e. The hosts argue whether modern D&D has devalued travel and survival mechanics and whether subclasses like the Cartographer can bring back the golden age of navigating with actual consequences (hint: probably not, but it's fun to dream). Not stopping at Artificer updates, the episode veers into Dragon Marks, magic items, and character customization, with the hosts debating whether Dragon Marks should get a modern refresh or stay as the Eberron-exclusive party trick they've always been. They also dig into the Mark of Healing, Potent Dragon Mark, and the Boon of Sibiris, contemplating the power levels of these abilities and whether they introduce game-breaking (or at least table-flipping) potential. Lastly, the hosts share game-mastering wisdom and some truly absurd personal anecdotes, proving once again that no amount of Unearthed Arcana can prevent players from doing completely unexpected things. Key Takeaways Artificer updates: The Artificer class gets some noteworthy enhancements, including a revamped subclass and fresh spells that improve its versatility. Cartographer subclass: Magical maps and teleportation mechanics open new possibilities, but the subclass may still struggle to compete with stronger Artificer options. Exploration in 5e: The discussion highlights how D&D 5e has gradually moved away from meaningful travel mechanics, raising the question of whether exploration can make a comeback. Teleportation tactics: The Cartographer's teleportation abilities could be a game-changer in combat, offering strategic mobility for quick positioning and battlefield control. Dragon Marks reimagined: The debate over whether Dragon Marks should receive updates to fit modern D&D leads to a broader discussion about character diversity and flexibility. Magic items and balance: The hosts critique how newer magic items often overshadow classic ones, potentially making certain features obsolete. Healing and spellcasting feats: Mark of Healing and Greater Mark of Healing provide significant cleric-like abilities to other classes, while the Boon of Sibiris introduces high-level spellcasting power without using spell slots. RPG learning curve: The hosts share practical advice for navigating new RPG systems, from focusing on key sections of rulebooks to embracing the inevitable chaos of a first session. Game Master struggles: Balancing player agency, new rules, and campaign consistency is an ongoing challenge—but one that leads to some of the most hilarious moments at the table. If you've ever wondered whether a magical map can solve all your problems (spoiler: it can't) or if the Artificer is finally getting the love it deserves, this episode is for you. Grab your compass (or just ask your party's wizard for a Teleport spell), and dive into the latest Unearthed Arcana discussion!

This week we're putting our heads together in the name of integrity, justice, and all that's good in this world. Because this past January in 2025, we were a small part of the charity drive to raise over 40,000 dollars to help Doctors without Borders! And that wouldn't have been possible without the incredible people who donated. This includes Ryan who donated to the cause and in return, Taylor and I are going to create a custom subclass for him! The requirements are such: cowboy themed Bard or Artificer and Ryan enjoys One Piece and a mix of roleplay and combat. And Ryan has been working on a Bard Subclass called The College of Humility. We have our work cut out for us And remember to give us 5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ AND a positive review! This helps us so much! Tell your friends! --------------------------- We also have an email for questions, comments, and topic ideas Reach out to us at Soyouwannabeadm@gmail.com And CLICK HERE to get our Patreon, join our Discord, follow us on TikTok and Instagram, and see what we're up to!

The Alchemist subclass has leveled up its potion game, proving you can now brew life-saving elixirs faster than most of us can make a cup of coffee. Meanwhile, the Armorer subclass is out here making Dreadnought armor that essentially says, "I'm big, I'm bad, and I take up two squares now." The real drama, though, lies in the rules chaos of pulling, pushing, and grappling mechanics. It turns out grappling is now about as effective as arguing with your DM, and brain extractions have been upgraded to dark comedy gold. But hey, the Artillerist got an upgrade, so you can still blow stuff up while debating whether guns belong in your magical fantasy world. Spoiler: Someone's Homunculus Roomba is going to have to clean up the mess. Tune in for the laughs, stay for the puns, and remember: one day, Vicious Mockery might become a bonus action, and then no adventurer's ego will be safe. Links Eberron: Rising from the Last War (affiliate link) Tasha's Cauldron of Everything (affiliate link) Unearthed Arcana: Revised Artificer Melancon: A Grimoire Tale (affiliate link) https://www.somanyrobots.com/s/Spellbound-Sea-Sample.pdf Summary and Takeaways In this hilarious deep-dive into Dungeons & Dragons' Unearthed Arcana, the hosts embark on a chaotic yet insightful exploration of all things Artificer. The episode begins with a lively discussion of the revamped Alchemist subclass, where the once-mediocre healer is now brewing elixirs that can practically bring characters back from the brink of death—or at least keep them upright long enough to face their next poor life choice. Potions are now crafted faster than ever, which might explain why Alchemists seem perpetually caffeinated. Shifting gears, the hosts don their metaphorical armor (and probably some literal helmets) to dissect the updated Armorer subclass. With options like Dreadnought armor, which makes you bigger and scarier in combat, and Perfected Armor, which adds a splash of damage and utility, there's something for everyone—unless you liked the old customization options, in which case, condolences. The new armor replication system is simpler, but as one host laments, "simplicity is the enemy of shiny customization." Things take a turn for the absurd as the conversation veers into gameplay mechanics. Pulling and pushing creatures might sound straightforward, but apparently, it's a one-way ticket to rules-lawyering chaos. Grappling, once a staple of wrestling matches gone awry, now feels about as effective as trying to hug a gelatinous cube. And then there's the unforgettable mention of "character brain extraction," which the hosts agree is equal parts horrifying and comedy gold, depending on which side of the dice you're on. Next, the spotlight shines on the Artillerist subclass, which has undergone upgrades that make it deadlier—and debatably more explosive—than ever. This sparks a lively debate about the coexistence of magic and technology in fantasy worlds, with one host arguing for the poetic elegance of wands and the other championing the raw, chaotic energy of boomsticks. Meanwhile, Battlesmith fans will be pleased to know the Steel Defender is now more useful, although one host quips, "It still won't do your taxes." The humor continues with a look at the Homunculus spell, a new addition to the Artificer arsenal that lets players conjure a small, slightly unsettling creature to assist in adventures. One host imagines it as "a glorified Roomba with attitude," while the other is already brainstorming scenarios where the Homunculus saves the day—or ruins it spectacularly. The episode rounds off with a mailbag segment tackling the question: which cantrips should become bonus actions? This sparks a flurry of debate, with one host suggesting Firebolt could add some sizzle to multi-action rounds and the other lamenting that bonus-action Vicious Mockery would lead to endless pun wars at the table. Throughout the episode, the hosts share their hopes, dreams, and mixed feelings about the future of D&D. They long for innovative subclasses, yearn for a return to the rich settings of Eberron, and urge designers to embrace the weird, wonderful flavor that makes the game magical. All this is delivered with a heaping dose of humor, proving once again that no matter how complex the rules or contentious the changes, the real joy of D&D is in laughing through it all with friends.

Get ready, adventurers, because the RPGBOT.Podcast is diving deep into the latest Unearthed Arcana for D&D 2024. This time, it's all about the Artificer, and the updates are so game-changing they might just qualify as magical tinkering on steroids. We're breaking down the Drain Magic Item ability—yes, the Artificer can now convert magic items into spell slots, effectively turning "resourceful" into an art form. The new rules for infusions and the Replicate Magic Item feature let you conjure common magic items at level 2, while rare ones have to wait until level 14. Battlesmith fans might be mourning a few losses, but the class's overall versatility is better than ever. In this episode, we talk about what works, what feels awkward, and why features like Right Tool for the Job might need a little extra fine-tuning. We also dig into why the Artificer has solidified its place as the Swiss Army Knife of adventuring, ready to save the day with creativity and clever mechanics. Don't miss this discussion—whether you're here for the strategic breakdown or just want to laugh at our attempts to pronounce "homunculus" correctly. Tune in now wherever you get your podcasts! Summary In this episode, the hosts tinker with the latest Unearthed Arcana release from Wizards of the Coast, spotlighting the Artificer class updates for Dungeons & Dragons 2024. They break down the changes to spellcasting mechanics, the revamped Infusion feature, and the flashy new "Drain Magic Item" ability, pondering how these tweaks might supercharge Battlesmiths and reshape gameplay strategy. The conversation doesn't stop at mechanics—they explore what the updates mean for character development, subclass diversity, and the art of outsmarting your DM with magical gadgetry. Along the way, they examine how the Artificer's changes align with broader trends in D&D design, share thoughts on the class's evolution, and speculate on future possibilities (spoiler: more subclasses, please). If you've ever wondered how to balance a bag of holding full of spell-storing items or why concentration mechanics are your worst enemy, this episode is for you. Tune in, and discover how the Artificer's shiny new toolkit might just redefine your next adventure!

They explore the significant changes introduced in the playtest, focusing on how these updates impact gameplay and the class's overall role in the game. Key features like the new Drain Magic Item ability stand out, allowing Artificers to convert magic items into spell slots, adding a strategic layer to their utility. Other updates include adjustments to Replicate Magic Item, which now allows Artificers to create any common magic item starting at level 2, while delaying access to rare items until level 14 for better balance. The ability to change cantrips on a long rest has been extended to Artificers, increasing their adaptability in various scenarios. Meanwhile, the changes to spellcasting focus require infused items, creating new considerations for character planning. The hosts also discuss the potential downsides of the revisions, such as the removal of certain options for Battlesmiths and the diminished utility of Right Tool for the Job. They emphasize how these updates reflect a broader effort to refine and modernize the class while noting the mixed player reception. The conversation highlights the importance of clear mechanics, balanced features, and rewarding gameplay experiences, especially as players evaluate the Artificer's evolving toolkit. While the updates show promise, the hosts agree that more refinement is needed to ensure the class remains engaging and versatile, particularly through the introduction of new subclasses and impactful capstone abilities.

This week we're taking a pit stop back at Class to talk all about the Artificer! These tinkering little scientists combine the arcane with the mechanical! They're hopped up on infusions, attuned to the max, and have all the tools in the arsenal at their disposal.

Step into the world of Tales of the Valiant with us as we embark on a two-part exploration of the fascinating and unique Mechanist class. In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, we delve into the mechanics and features of this class, discussing its differences from the Artificer, its limited subclass options, and its powerful abilities such as Eyes of the Maker and Shard of Creation. Join us as we break down the augment system, its various effects and limitations, and the exciting Weapon Options feature. And stay tuned as we share our expert insights on building the Metalurgist and Spellrite subclasses, including tips and tricks for level 4 improvements and talents. It's time to roll for initiative and discover the wonders of the Mechanist! EPISODE SUMMARY In this two-part episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, we begin the build of the Mechanist class from Tales of the Valiant. The team explores the differences between the Mechanist and the Artificer, noting that the Mechanist focuses more on building and enhancing items rather than spellcasting. The team also discusses the limited number of subclasses available for the Mechanist and the potential challenges of adapting Artificer subclasses to the Mechanist. We provide insights into ability scores, lineage, and heritage choices for the class; highlighting the Eyes of the Maker feature, which allows the Mechanist to identify magic items, and the Shard of Creation feature, which grants the Mechanist a ball of loose plasma. We explore the Mechanist's ability to inspire themselves and the scaling of their features with level. We'll move on to the augments, which are similar to infusions in the 5th edition artificer class; and highlight the adhesive, collapsible, detecting, empowered, elusive, and loading augments and their effects. We break down the limitations and scaling of the augments, and discuss the Augments feature of the Tales of the Valiant Mechanist class. Finally, we go through each augment and discuss its effects and potential uses and talk about the Efficient Action feature, which allows the use of augments as a bonus action, and the Weapon Options feature, which provides special attacks depending on the type of weapon. Tyler and Ash each will break down builds for the two subclasses of the Mechanist class, the Metalurgist and the Spellrite, briefly mentioning the level 4 improvements and talents. MATERIALS REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE Black Flag Reference Document on KoboldPress.com BFRD.net Content From RPGBOT.net 5e to ToV Transition Guide KEY TAKEAWAYS The Mechanist class in Tales of the Valiant focuses on building and enhancing items rather than spellcasting, making it distinct from the Artificer class. Adapting Artificer subclasses to the Mechanist may be challenging due to the differences in spellcasting abilities. The Mechanist class offers flexibility in ability score distribution, with a focus on Intelligence for class features. Lineage and heritage choices should be made based on the desired playstyle, with options that enhance durability or provide damage resistance being popular. The Mechanist class features, such as Eyes of the Maker and Shard of Creation, offer unique abilities related to identifying and interacting with magic items. The Mechanist class in Tales of the Valiant has unique features such as the Shard of Creation and the ability to inspire themselves. The augments in the Mechanist class are similar to infusions in the 5th edition artificer class. The adhesive augment allows objects to become adhesive and can hold up to a thousand pounds. The collapsible augment makes objects smaller. The detecting augment provides various vision enhancements, including dark vision, invisivision, magic vision, and x-ray vision. The empowered augment gives a +1 bonus to attack and damage, which scales to +2 at level 9 and +3 at level 15. The elusive augment allows objects to be disguised as other objects of the same type. The loading augment generates ammo and ignores the loading property for ranged weapons. The augments scale with level, with the Mechanist gaining more options and the ability to use multiple augments on different items. The Mechanist class offers a unique playstyle with versatile and customizable abilities. The Augments feature of the Mechanist class provides a variety of enhancements and abilities that can be applied to weapons and armor. Efficient Action allows the use of augments as a bonus action, increasing the versatility and speed of combat. Weapon Options provide unique attacks based on the type of weapon used, adding depth and tactical options to combat. The Metalurgist subclass focuses on enhancing armor and shields, while the Spellrite subclass combines spellcasting with martial abilities. Level 4 improvements and talents offer additional customization options for the Mechanist class.
