Spells

A artificer must choose and prepare their spells ahead of time (see below).

To inscribe, prepare, or cast a spell, the artificer must have an Intelligence score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a artificer’s spell is 10 + the spell level + the artificer’s Intelligence modifier.

Like other spellcasters, a artificer has a limited number of spell points and spell slots. Their base daily allotments are given in the previous table. Bonus Spell points are awarded for high Int as detailed here.

Unlike a bard or sorcerer, a artificer may know any number of spells. They must choose and prepare their spells ahead of time by resting at a rest shrine or tavern. While resting Artificer decides which spells to prepare.

Of particular Note to Players developing a Artificer Character is that certain spells may only be obtained through the Auction House, finding a scroll or choosing it upon leveling up. The full list can be found here.
