Spells
See also: Artificer 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 an artificer’s spell is 10 + the spell level + the artificer’s Intelligence modifier.

Like other spellcasters, an 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 Intelligence as detailed here.

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

Of particular Note to Players when developing an 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.
