A Gearforged Artificer in Dungeons & Dragons is a fusion of mechanical ingenuity and magical craftsmanship. Gearforged are constructs infused with the soul of a living being, replacing their mortal body with a clockwork form. Originating from Kobold Press's Midgard setting, they resemble sentient golems, powered by arcane cores and intricate gears. Unlike traditional warforged, Gearforged require maintenance and occasional soul transfer rituals to sustain their existence.

As an Artificer, a Gearforged excels in imbuing magic into objects, constructing mechanical wonders, and augmenting their own body with arcane enhancements. Their natural construct nature provides advantages such as resistance to poison, immunity to disease, and the ability to function without food, water, or sleep. Combined with the Artificer’s ability to craft magical infusions and wield gadgets, they become unparalleled tinkerers and inventors.

Their subclass choice can further define their capabilities. An Armorer Artificer might integrate their own body into a walking suit of arcane-powered armor, a Battle Smith could develop a mechanical companion to aid in combat, while an Alchemist might distill magical potions with precise, clockwork efficiency. Gearforged also benefit from their construct physiology, making them durable and resilient in battle, while their Artificer training allows them to manipulate magic and technology in unique ways.

Their role in a party is often that of a versatile support specialist, excelling in crafting, healing, and battlefield control. Story-wise, a Gearforged Artificer might be a former mortal who chose an immortal mechanical body to continue their work, a lost soul bound to a machine seeking purpose, or a relic of a forgotten civilization rediscovering the world. Their existence raises intriguing philosophical questions about identity, memory, and the nature of the soul, making them a compelling and unique character choice.
