Phytomancer
A phytomancer has a keen interest and affinity with the
plants of the natural world. They know how to make
things grow hale and healthy, and can even inspire a
specially prepared plant to animate and do their bidding
for a short time.
A phytomancer might be employed as a gardener to a wealthy patron, creating order from chaos, or prefer a life of solitude, delighting in the seasonal changes of the natural world.
Proficiencies. You gain proficiency with herbalism kit and the potter’s tools. If you already have either these proficiencies, you gain proficiency with one other type of artisan's tools of your choice.
Seedcraft. You learn the druidcraft and shillelagh cantrips. They are artificer spell for you, and don’t count against your number of cantrips known.
The Cultivar is friendly to you and your companions, and it obeys your commands and lasts for 10 minutes. You can summon a cultivar once for free and must finish a long rest before doing so again. You can also summon the cultivar by expending a spell slot of 1st level or higher. If you summon a second cultivar from this feature, the first one immediately withers and dies. You can wither your cultivar at any time (no action required by you).
In combat, the cultivar 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 one of the actions in its stat block or the Dash, Disengage, Help, Hide, or Search action.
If you cast the mending spell on your cultivar, it regains 2d6 hit points.
Additionally, your shillelagh gains new potency. Once on your turn when you hit a creature with your shillelagh, you can roll a d8. Add the results to the damage of the attack, and designate a creature with 30 feet of you that you, and grant them a number of temporary hit points equal to the result + your Intelligence modifier. The recipient of these temporary hit points can immediately make a new saving throw against one unwanted blindness, deafness, paralysis, poison, or disease. The temporary hit points last for 1 minute.
