Dungeons and Dragons New Artificer Subclass Misses the Mark: ‘You can go anywhere, but you can’t do anything when you get there’

Dungeons and Dragons‘ 2024 new Core Rules have reshaped the game in massive ways. Some classes and subclasses have drastically different abilities or playstyles, some core game aspects have been changed, and even some of the most iconic monsters in Dungeons and Dragons are nothing like they used to be. This is not always for the best, as losing identity for novelty is not necessarily a good thing, but the overall reception has been good so far. Now, a new book is coming out in the form of Eberron: Forge of the Artificer, which aptly features the Artificer class, its four existing subclasses, and an entirely new subclassed – the Cartographer.
