Message: <blockquote data-quote="Voice" data-source="post: 7346337" data-attributes="member: 6939829">So, a while back I stumbled across a photo of a fluffy black kitten staring up at the camera, where the eyes had been photo-shopped to be blue/green two-tone.  It looked like a fluffy black soot-sprite.<img src="https://i.pinimg.com/564x/44/92/16/449216843be35ec1fe020636609f6938.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />It inspired me to create a character, where that was the familiar.  Unfortunately, I'm having difficulty putting the character to paper adequately.  I keep trying different combinations, and not quite coming up with what I'm looking for.The inspiration led to the concept of a character who wields a musket (his familiar being a spirit of industry and technology, after all), and casts his spells through it.The spell component pouch would be his ammo pouch, with a group of specially prepared paper cartridges replacing material components, the motions of loading/firing for somatic, with verbal as normal.The initial build was a simple wizard with the Weapons Mastery feat giving him a selection of Marital weapons (to include muskets, pistols, and some hammers), but I've also tried Warlock builds, and even Eldritch Knight builds with the Magic Initiate feat to give him Find Familiar and a direct damage cantrip for his 'bread & butter' magic 'cartridge'.I keep leaning more toward the Warlock builds, but that seems to be a common pattern with recent inspirations, so I'm wary of just falling into that pattern.The character does need to be a spellcaster, and does need to have a familiar (it will be a visual re-skin of whatever standard familiar is most appropriate for the build).He does *not* have to be an arcane caster, but should be Human (variant or otherwise).I'm looking for build suggestions for a combat caster, with a familiar, whose weapon of choice is a musket.</blockquote>
