Elric Custos
Eric Custos, Level 5 Warforged Battles Smith ArtificerAlignment: Neutral Good with Lawful tendencies
Type: Humanoid, Size: Medium
Age: Activated 19 years ago Height: 4'11" Weight: 225bs+45lbs due to Custom Stabilized Forge-Horn Steam Armor for 270lb total.
Elric appears to be a somewhat short while slightly muscular humanoid with a body comprised of a variety of metals, some sort of crystalline glass, and wires. Elric's body appears masculine yet still looks lean and streamlined for his size. While the armored plates on Elric's body are a greyish blue, the more flexible areas are a dull bone white with black wires also being visible in portions of his body. Elric has blue crystalline eyes and a sigil in his forehead that seems to have several elements of runes with meaning pertaining to guardians and protection fused together. For those who have seen other Warforged, it is obvious that Elric is somewhat different as his head has two rabbit-like ear/stalk protrusions that stick up from the sides of his head and if someone pays close attention to them, they would notice that eyestalks can extend from them which allows Elric to look around corners or even behind himself without turning his head.

Elric gained a familiar via using a Mixture created by Michael Schylar.
As a Familiar companion: Bubo acts independently of Elric and in combat uses Elric's initiative and acts at the end of his turn. Bubo can't use an action to attack but can take other actions as normal.
Also, when Bubo is within 100ft of Elric and Elric casts a spell with the range of touch, Bubo can deliver the spell as if he had cast the spell using his reaction action. (If the spell requires an attack roll or spell save DC, Elric's attack roll, or spell save DC, is used.)

Artificer Class Features:
Battle Smith Specialist Feature
Magical Tinkering. You've learned how to invest a spark of magic into mundane objects. To use this ability, you must have thieves' tools or artisan's tools in hand. You then touch a Tiny nonmagical object as an action and give it one of the following magical properties of
your choice:
The object sheds bright light in a 5-foot radius and dim light for an additional 5 feet.
Whenever tapped by a creature, the object emits a recorded message that can be heard up to 10 feet away. You utter the message when you bestow this property on the object, and the recording can be no more than 6 seconds long.
The object continuously emits your choice of an odor or a nonverbal sound (wind, waves, chirping, or the like). The chosen phenomenon is perceivable up to 10 feet away.
A static visual effect appears on one of the object's surfaces. This effect can be a picture, up to 25 words of text, lines and shapes, or a mixture of these elements, as you like.
The chosen property lasts indefinitely. As an action, you can touch the object and end the property early.
You can bestow magic on multiple objects, touching one object each time you use this feature, though a single object can only bear one property at a time. The maximum number of objects you can affect with this feature at one time is equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of one object).
If you try to exceed your maximum, the oldest property immediately ends, and then the new property applies.
Spellcasting Intelligence is your spellcasting ability. Uses Thieves' tools or artisan's tools as a spell focus. (Must be proficient with the tool to use it as a focus.) After gaining the Infuse Item feature, any item bearing one of your infusions will also count as a spellcasting focus for you.
Cantrips Known: (Unlimited Use)
1 Guidance
2 Mending
All-Purpose Tools (+1): once a day as an action for 8 hours can cast 1 cantrip from any list, resets at dawn.
Spell Slots: 1st Level 4/4 2nd Level 2/2
Prepared Spells (Can change these when finishing a long rest by tinkering with your spellcasting focuses for at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list that is changed.)
Ritual Casting: You may cast an artificer spell as a ritual if that spell is prepared and has the ritual tag.
Prepared Spells: (Intelligence modifier + half your artificer level, rounded down) [4+2]
1. Cure Wounds
2. Faerie Fire
3. Absorb Elements
4. Enlarge/Reduce
5. Heat Metal
6. Aid (May swap out with Lesser Restoration when needed)
Battle Smith Spells
You always have certain spells prepared after you reach particular levels in this class, as shown in the Battle Smith Spells table. These spells count as artificer spells for you, but they don't count against the number of artificer spells you prepare.
3rd Heroism, Shield
5th Branding Smite, Warding Bond
Infusions:
Elric knows four Infusions and can infuse 2 nonmagical items with different infusions at the end of a long rest.
Infusions Known: Replicate Magic Item (Bag of Holding), Enhanced Defense, Repeating Shot, Enhanced Weapon
Infused Items: Repeating Shot on Chimera Pistol and Enhanced Defense on Breastplate
The Right Tool for the Job
You've learned how to produce exactly the tool you need: with thieves' tools or artisan's tools in hand, you can magically create one set of artisan's tools in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of you. This creation requires 1 hour of uninterrupted work, which can coincide with a short or long rest. Though the product of magic, the tools are nonmagical, and they vanish when you use this feature again.
Tool Proficiency
You gain proficiency with smith's tools. If you already have this proficiency, you gain proficiency with one other type of artisan's tools of your choice. Gains: Glassblower's Tools Proficiency
Battle Ready
Your combat training and your experiments with magic have paid off in two ways:
You gain proficiency with martial weapons.
When you attack with a magic weapon, you can use your Intelligence modifier, instead of Strength or Dexterity modifier, for the attack and damage rolls.
Steel Defender
Your tinkering has borne you a companion, a steel defender. It's friendly to you and your companions, and it obeys your commands. See its game statistics in the Steel Defender stat block, which uses your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places. You determine the creature's appearance and whether it has two legs or four; your choice has no effect on its game statistics.
In combat, the defender shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours.
It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. If you are incapacitated, the defender can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge.
If the mending spell is cast on the defender, it regains 2d6 hit points. If it has died within the last hour, you can use your smith'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 defender returns to life after 1 minute with all its hit points restored.
At the end of a long rest, you can create a new steel defender if you have smith's tools with you. If you already have a defender from this feature, the first one immediately perishes. The defender also perishes if you die.
Extra Attack: You can attack twice, rather than once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
Background: House Agent (Schylar Family)
Specialty/Role: Security with a secondary focus in Research & Development along with Acquisition. Elric is first and foremost a bodyguard, primarily for Michael Schylar and Mix, but he's also trained to help in alchemical pursuits as well as with his magic.
Feature: Hermit's Discovery (Ancient Arcana knowledge for full proficiency bonus on Arcana checks)
Traits: "I represent House Schylar and take pride in my appearance."
Quirk: "I am fiercely protective of my friends."
Ideals: "House Schylar serves a vital function, and its prosperity will help everyone."
Bond: "House Schylar is my family. I would do anything for it."
Flaw: "I'd risk too much to uncover a lost bit of knowledge."
Armor: 19+1 (Custom Stabilized Forge-Horn Steam Armor+1)+1(Integrated Protection)+ 3(Enhanced Spring Shock Shield+1) = 23 [20 without shield]
Custom Stabilized Forge-Horn Steam Armor +1 (45lbs, integrated so weight does not count against carried weight) Due to the Gomonite and Stabilized Forge-Horn this armor makes Elric immune to critical hits and grants resistance to Thunder and Acid damage. The armor's enchantments also grant a +1 bonus to all saving throws and to all ability checks. With its enchantments, this armor does not require monthly maintenance has a reduced weight of 45lbs, and does not impose disadvantage on stealth checks. It has the hit points and hardness as if made from adamantine but is non-metallic. With an Eternal Firestone, this armor is always powered. While powered due to its enchantments Elric gains a +10ft movement speed bonus and triples his long and high jump distances and always counts as running for the purposes of distance jumped. As per normal Steam Armors, Elric counts as a large creature for his carrying capacity (it doubles), Elric gains advantage on 'non-combat' strength checks, and Elric's jumping distances are calculated as if Elric's strength score was 5 points higher than it is.
Enhanced Spring Shock Shield+1 7lbs
Attacks:
Alchemical Buster Hand-Cannon, integrated into arm cannon [See A.W. Narrator's desc] (requires attunement) In 'Dormant' form. Its ranged modes incorporate the Aerodynamic property increasing the range from default to the ranges in the table below, and the melee form gains the deadly property. Regardless of its mode, this weapon has the Natatorial property.
Retracting the weapon into the hand or activating it requires your bonus action, and you can select any weapon mode when activating the weapon. When the weapon is already active you can change the weapon mode, once on your turn without using either an action, bonus action, or your environmental interaction for that round. A second mode change can be made using your environmental interaction/stow/draw a weapon, and a third mode change can be made using your bonus action. A fourth would require your action.
Attacks are +8 to hit. Save DCs are 16.
