{"name":"SoulWeaver Artificer","short_description":"A New Subclass for Artificers based on Mysticism and usage of souls and monster drops.","description":"Fueled by a deep understanding of soul energy and craftsmanship, these enigmatic artisans mastered the art of infusing souls into objects, imbuing them with extraordinary properties. The Soulweaver Artificer is a unique subclass blending craftsmanship and ethereal magic. These artisans harness the power of souls, infusing weapons, armor, and items with extraordinary attributes. With abilities like soul binding, creating ethereal constructs, and optionally cursing items, they craft artifacts of immense power. Soulweavers must balance this power carefully, as overuse of curses risks corruption.","ability_score_requirement":"For the Soulweaver Artificer subclass, the updated ability score requirements are:\r\nIntelligence: 14 (minimum)\r\nWisdom: 13 (minimum)\r\nThese higher requirements ensure that a character has a strong foundation in both mental acuity and intuitive understanding, essential for mastering the complex art of soul manipulation and crafting powerful, ethereal artifacts.\r\n","racial_restrictions":"None","notes":"1.
