::: spoiler Transcription Fighter: So uhhhhh... you gotta pretty neat weapon there. Artificer: Thanks, designed "Ol Buzzy" myself! Fighter: Mind if I give her a go? Artificer: Sure, but you need any pointers? Fighter: Naaaaaw, I can figure it out. Artificer: \*To the DM\* CAN he figure it out? DM: \*To fighter\* ...roll me a wisdom check. Fighter: \*Nat 1\* DM, Artificer, and Fighter in unison: Hoo boy. [A picture of a man starting a chainsaw while the blade is placed between his legs, resting on his crotch.] :::

Tell the artificer player that it'll take seconds to get it working in a pinch, but the character can be fixing it up for as long as they want to milk it.

Their first use was as a surgical tool.

This is still pretty dumb, but as long as the chainsaw’s clutch isn’t somehow stuck engaged, then just starting the saw won’t spin the bladesSeems kinda like pointing an "unloaded" gun at yourself. For the purposes of safety, always assume the gun is loaded...and always assume a chains will be engaged.

I just looked into this and I will never see chainsaws in the way i've seen them before. As far as I understand it it was revolutionary at the time and saved lives, but it was absolutely gruesome either way.

This is still pretty dumb, but as long as the chainsaw’s clutch isn’t somehow stuck engaged, then just starting the saw won’t spin the bladesA gas chainsaw has a centrifugal clutch, so if it was "stuck engaged" the chain would move with the starter cord. You'd know it before you gave it a real yank. If you're starting with the choke engaged, it's possible the engine will idle at a speed high enough to engage the clutch and move the chain. 2-stroke engines aren't real anyway, they're bullshit wrapped in metal that works because the fossil fuel industry demands them to, so their behavior is entirely unpredictable and contrary to the operator's needs.

so i thought the artificer was similar to pf2's alchemist. now it seems it's closer to pf2's inventor. which one is it?!??Both. I'm not super familiar with it because by the time they got around to releasing an artificer I was already waning in my 5e interest, so I'm going largely on memory of early drafts (Unearthed Arcanas) and general cultural osmosis. Different subclasses or builds have different focuses. There's an alchemist subclass, a gunner subclass (like 2e's gunslinger), and one more like the inventor.
