This is an Artificer Specialization for 5A.

Conveyors build large machines that can convey themselves and a few others. This conveyance can be used for travel, exploration, or war. Always exotic, such vehicles are unique sights that always draw attention wherever they appear.

Greyhawk: Vehicles in use in the Flanaess is almost universally powered by draft animals or the wind, but certain artificers can build vehicles centuries ahead of their time. Built by individual geniuses, such vehicles can appear anywhere, but the central region around Greyhawk and the Ulek states is the likeliest place to find them.

Subclass Features

Proficiencies

When you adopt this specialization at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with carpenter's tools. If you already have this proficiency, you gain proficiency with one other type of artisan's tools of your choice. You also gain proficiency with one type of vehicles: land vehicles, water vehicles, or air vehicles.

Conveyor Spells

Starting at 3rd level, you always have certain spells prepared after you reach particular levels in this class, as shown in the Conveyor Spells table. These spells count as artificer spells for you, but they don’t count against the number of artificer spells you prepare.

Conveyor Spells
Artificer Level Conveyor Spells
3 Expeditious Retreat, Tenser's Floating Disc
5 Dragon's Breath, Pass Without Trace
9 Daylight, Meld Into Stone
13 Control Water, Freedom of Movement
17 Control Winds, Telekinesis

Experimental Vehicle

By 3rd level, you have completed an experimental vehicle. This vehicle counts as a creature, but it can take no actions unless you are driving it. If you are not driving the vehicle, it stunned. You can spend actions to use the vehicle's abilities, including any attacks the vehicle is capable of. Any artificer spells with a range of self affecting you also affect the vehicle as long as you are riding it.

If the Mending spell is cast on it, the vehicle regains 2d6 hit points. If it has died within the last hour, you can use your carpenter's tools as an action to revive it, provided you are within 5 feet of it and you expend a spell slot of 1st level or higher. The experimental vehicle is restored after 1 minute with all its hit points recovered.

Basic Type

When you gain this ability, you must decide to create a land vehicle, water vehicle, or air vehicle. You can only create vehicles of a type you are proficient with. You can change the type of vehicle when you advance in level.

Mount. The experimental vehicle can serve as a mount. Only you can ride it. If you are not riding it, the vehicle is constantly stunned.
Vehicle. When using land or swim speed on a road, calm water, or other flat, entirely clear terrain, the experimental vehicle only expends 2.5 feet of movement for every 5 feet moved. It moves normally in terrain that is neither difficult ground nor particularly flat. Any kind of difficult ground has double effect on the vehicle, requiring 15 feet of movement for each 5 feet moved—or more in very difficult terrain. The vehicle cannot climb and cannot swim unless it has a swim speed. When using swim speed, it can only move on a liquid surface, it cannot dive.
Driving. When driving the vehicle, you can use your Intelligence (Vehicle Proficiency) check in lieu of any Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check the vehicle takes.

Early Modifications

Starting at 5th level, you can apply a simple modifications to your experimental vehicle. You can change all modifications to your vehicle at the end of a long rest.
