Crafting Artificer Prestige Class

Class Skills: The artificer’s class skills are the same as the class skills of the class that they advance their spells / day in. For example, if the crafting artifacer's spells per day goes up for cleric spells, their class skills for that level are the cleric class skills.

The Crafting Artifacer

Level	Base Attack	Fort	Ref	Will	Other
1st	+0	+0	+0	+2	Item craft time reduced by 10%, spells per day +1 level of existing class
2nd	+1	+0	+0	+3	Item craft time reduced by 20%, spells per day +1 level of existing class
3rd	+1	+0	+0	+3	Item craft time reduced by 30%, spells per day +1 level of existing class
4th	+2	+1	+1	+4	Item craft time reduced by 40%, spells per day +1 level of existing class
5th	+2	+1	+1	+4	Item craft time reduced by 50%, spells per day +1 level of existing class

Item craft time: As crafting artifacers gain class levels, the amount of time it takes them to craft magic items is reduced. Thus, at 1st level of crafting artifacer, a magic item that costs 1100 gp to create takes one day, instead of two. At 5th level, the crafting artifacer can create magic items twice as fast as normal magic item crafters: 2000gp per day.

This reduction in crafting time does not in any way reduce the other costs related to magic item creation, including XP cost.

Spells per day: When a new crafting artifacer level is gained, the character gains new spells per day (and spells known, if applicable) as if she had also gained a level in a spellcasting class she belonged to before she added the prestige class. She does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained. This essentially means that she adds the level of crafting artifacer to the level of some other spellcasting class the character has, then determines spells per day, spells known, and caster level accordingly.
