Artificer’s Artificial Mind… that mean you can’t cast 1 action spells thru it?
Dear @mikemearls and @JeremyECrawford,
For the Artificer’s Artificial Mind – Manifest feature, if you have to use your action to see thru its senses, and have to use its senses to cast spells thru it, does that mean you can’t cast 1 action spells thru it? Or is the assumption your likely already concentrating to sense thru the AM, and the only restriction would be casting a concentration spell would make you lose the ability to sense thru the AM?

Turn A: Use your action to hear and see through the manifested mind.
Turn B: Use your action to cast a spell.

No problem!

I want to reskin the Archivist with Floating Animated Books
I want to reskin the Archivist with Floating Animated Books/Sheets Of Paper—for that arcane librarian feel where the pen is truly mightier than the sword.

As a DM, I love empowering players to get creative when describing character abilities.
I decided to encourage that creative liberty in the artificer class itself. Want your Artificial Mind to look like floating books? The subclass invites you to do it! #DnD https://t.co/BJqc5Q4K8B

What’s the reasoning on making pets such a large part of the Artificer?
What's the reasoning on making pets such a large part of the Artificer? It doesn't really mesh with what I think of when I think of an Artificer. I understand having one pet subclass, but ALL of them focus on the pet to the exclusion of (imo) more CORE ideas to Artificing.

When the artificer class debuted in Eberron in 2004, the class could make a special homunculus, a companion creature. I decided to keep that theme in two of the new class's subclasses. The other two subclasses have mobile artifices, rather than companion creatures. #DnD https://t.co/OUcIshrwGd
— Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) May 15, 2019
While I understand you're reasoning for saying those two aren't creatures, it seems like the general consensus is that they're pets.
— Starlos the Shark (@DwhyDx) May 15, 2019
If your artificer would like to treat a weapon or an A.I. as a pet, I think that's sweet. I'm all for creating in-character connections to other creatures and things.

How would Artificer levels, spells, and multiclassing work?
@SageAdviceDnD @JeremyECrawford how would Artificer levels, spells, and multiclassing work? Would it be like other half-casters such as rangers & paladins, or more like a warlock?
— Skeletorial (@IorthLord) May 14, 2019
Want to multiclass with the artificer? You're in luck! Check out the sidebar "Optional Rule: Multiclassing" in the artificer PDF. #DnD https://t.co/dyBMHYQDAP

We need your thoughts about UA Artificer
Ok, @HellcowKeith. I’m sure I can speak for lots of folks: We need your thoughts about what was recently released on UA. If you feel like answering, or even reading the comment, thanks a lot. Enjoy your weekend. It’s something that needs to be playtested and refined, which is the point of UA.
— Keith Baker (@HellcowKeith) March 1, 2019
I like the various ways that the class gets to feel creative—preparing new spells every day, being able to swap cantrips, changing damage types with Arcane Weapon. This sort of versatility is something that was missing from the previous UA artificer. I’ve seen complaints that it uses spells as opposed to an entirely separate system, but the 3.5 artificer was also a spellcaster. The description could be refined, but I like the basic principle. There should be more subclasses, and I expect there will be.

Just had a thought/question regarding Artificer infusions
@JeremyECrawford Just had a thought/question regarding Artificer infusions. The weapon infusion specifies "simple or martial", but technically there's four weapon categories. Simple. Simple ranged. Martial. Martial ranged. Does this mean you can or can't infuse ranged weapons?
— Diex (@Diexna) March 14, 2019
If a feature in D&D, like Infuse Item, lets you do something to a weapon and doesn't specify melee or ranged, then it works on either. #DnD https://t.co/exmDxrZRJK
