The artificer is a character class in the Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 edition roleplaying game that was introduced in the Forgotten Realms.
Though introduced in the Magic of Faerun, artificers are most often seen in the Eberron. The artificer is arguably one of the more unique base classes to have been introduced in the 3.5 edition and a reflects many of the core themes of Eberron. The artificer's abilities act primarily on items and constructs. Through a combination of their infusions (which work similarly to spells but must target objects) and their item creation abilities they add a great deal of flexibility to a party.
The class is not mechanically similar to any of the other classes; though arguably the combination of combat abilities (incuding weapon and armor proficiencies), buffing spells and repair spells make it most similar to the cleric core class.
The artificer is a complex class, requiring extensive bookkeeping if a player fully utilizies its item creation abilities.
No currently published race has artificer as a favored class.
