Most of your weapon attacks are just bolts you invented. Artificer Attack 1: Aggravating ForceWarden Attack 1: Strength of Stone for melee, you have a collapsing longspear; when it's folded up it is easy to conceal.Warden Attack 1: Stinging Nettles (Warden)Artificer Attack 1: Caustic RampartThievery Utility 2: Fast Hands you'll need this for switching between weapons.  Note that your crossbow counts as both an implement and a weapon, with the Crossbow Caster feat.Artificer Attack 3: Shocking Feedback FEATSAlchemistLevel 1: Mark of Storm Again, you are not actually dragonmarked.  This feat represents a refinement you've added to your electric bolts, so they knock their targets around.Level 1: Hybrid TalentLevel 2: Crossbow Caster ITEMSCrossbow BoltsAntivenomSuppression Crossbow +1 x1 has a great daily antimagic field effect.  Not actually magical, just very cleverly built by you.Nightmare Ward Leather Armor +1 x1 more antimagic -protects you from mental spells.Lesser Cloaked Longspear +1 not really magically cloaked, it just folds up so you can hide it.Amulet of Protection +1 x1Adventurer's KitThieves' ToolsSpider Bolt +1Shadowshaft Ammunition +1====== End ======I threw out all notions of role -with a group this big, you don't need to worry about being a "good defender or leader", just being able to do something fun and useful with each turn.  Mostly you stand back and shoot people with bolts that shock them, knock them around (ideally into the wall of acid you pour out) or slow them down.  When things get close you can quickly pull out your telescoping spear and fend them off.  You have 1 healing spell per encounter, and you could mark an adjacent foe every turn, but why would you?  Despite being a defender/leader hybrid, I suspect this will play as a hard-to-hurt controller.</blockquote>
