Savant Artificer

The equivalent of a mad scientist for arcane casters, the savant artificer stores her magic in strange arcane implements. The stereotypical savant artificer is an eccentric and foolhardy inventor who pushes the limits of their magic by building more and more esoteric devices. It should be said that many are scientific and patient minds, who carefully learn the limits of their invention… just so they can push them.

Class: Occultist

Level: 1st, 8th, 12th, 16th, 20th

Replaces: Armor and Weapon Proficiency, Spellcasting (Altered), Outside Contact

Benefit: A savant artificer gain the following class features:

Armor Proficiency: A savant artificer is no longer proficient with medium armor.

Spellcasting: A savant artificer is an arcane spellcaster instead of a psychic spellcaster, they are able to cast in light armor without incurring arcane spell failure. Their implements are strange arcane devices, but otherwise function in the same manner.

Overload Implement (Su): At 8th level savant artificer can overload one of her arcane devices to increase the potency of a spell. In order to do so she must spend 1 mental focus stored in the implement as a free action as she casts a spell whose school matches the implement's school. The spell receives a +1 bonus on its caster level and a +1 bonus to its DC. After the spell is cast, the implement becomes inactive for 1d4 rounds. While inactive the savant artificer cannot use the mental focus stored in it, the focus's base power and does not count as having the implement for the purpose of casting spells.

At 12th, 16th and 20th level the increase in caster level and DC the spell receive increases by 1. This replaces the Outside Contact class feature.
