 +Rokko has squirreled the deed to his clubhouse / workshop [[Anongnomeous]] with his mum. Unfortunately, she thinks it is Rokko's new novel and reads aloud from it to anyone who will listen in the marketplace because she is proud of her son. Also, Rokko's mum is shellshocked from PTSD and heavy drug use.

 +
 +==== The Right Tool for the Job ====
 +
 +At 3rd level, you've learned how to produce exactly the tool you need: with thieves' tools or artisan's tools in hand, you can magically create one set of artisan's tools in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of you. This creation requires 1 hour of uninterrupted work, which can coincide with a short or long rest. Though the product of magic, the tools are nonmagical, and they vanish when you use this feature again.
 +
 +
 +
 +==== Tool Proficiency ====
 +
 +When you adopt the battle smith specialization at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with smith's tools. If you already have this proficiency, you gain proficiency with one other type of artisan's tools of your choice.
 +
 +==== Battle Smith Spells ====
 +
 +Starting at 3rd level, you always have certain spells prepared after you reach particular levels in this class. These spells count as artificer spells for you, but they don’t count against the number of artificer spells you prepare.
 +
 +  * Heroism, Shield
 +
 +==== Battle Ready ====
 +
 +When you reach 3rd level, your combat training and your experiments with magic have paid off in two ways:
 +
 +You gain proficiency with martial weapons.
 +When you attack with a magic weapon, you can use your Intelligence modifier, instead of Strength or Dexterity modifier, for the attack and damage rolls.
 +
 +==== Steel Defender ====
 +
 +By 3rd level, your tinkering has borne you a faithful companion, a steel defender. It's friendly to you and your companions, and it obeys your commands. See its game statistics in the Steel Defender stat block, which uses your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places. You determine the creature's appearance and whether it has two legs or four; your choice has no effect on its game statistics.
 +
 +In combat, the defender shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. If you are incapacitated, the defender can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge.
 +
 +If the Mending spell is cast on it, it regains 2d6 hit points. If it has died within the last hour, you can use your smith's tools as an action to revive it, provided you are within 5 feet of it and you expend a spell slot of 1st level or higher. The steel defender returns to life after 1 minute with all its hit points restored.
 +
 +At the end of a long rest, you can create a new steel defender if you have smith's tools with you. If you already have a defender from this feature, the first one immediately perishes. The defender also perishes if you die.

 The continual grinding and cynicism makes him cocksure and a braggart. He's a natural motivator and he would pull the PCs together for a job he needs to do for sure. However, he makes  a poor leader because of his single mindedness. He has never met the gnome he thinks is his father, a famous artificer who has created some important artifacts in his time. Maybe this gnome even has a brand-name or handiwork that is seen all over the place. The continual grinding and cynicism makes him cocksure and a braggart.

-Rokko loves the sound of his own voice, and is wary of any plan that is not his own. He likes being "in control" and doesn't like to show his barbarian rage side unless he really has to. +Rokko loves the sound of his own voice, and is wary of any plan that is not his own. He likes being "in control." He's not crazy about his barbarian rage, but he will show his anger when he has to. Maybe it is like a "nerd rage" kind of thing. I'm not quite sure yet.
  
 Rokko has always had a way with people. He knows what makes them tick, and can tease out their hearts' desires after a few minutes of conversation. With a few leading questions he can read them like they were children's books. It's a useful talent, and one that he often uses to his advantage. Rokko has always had a way with people.

 Rokko knows what people want and he delivers. At least, he promises to deliver. These marvels sound implausible, but he makes them sound like the real deal. Sometimes his ego writes checks that his talent can't cash. At the end of the day, he either makes the deal happen by hook or by crook, pulling off a daring heist or delivering clockwork knockoffs that work just long enough for him to get away.  Rokko knows what people want and he delivers.

He's on the small side, even for a gnome. Sooner or later, someone will have a larger axe and he will have to compare sizes. "It's not how big it is, it is how you use it, pal."
