In some campaigns, finding the time and gold to create magic items is harder than other campaigns.The class doesn't look unbalanced to me (but I haven't seen it in play). It's a 10-level class, and you can't get into it until 8th level. They lose out big on spellcasting, gaining only 3 spellcasting levels out of the 10. For a non-epic game, that limits him to maximum 13th level spellcaster (7th level magic). All artificer levels stack for item creation pre-requisites, though.The trade-off? He gets 3 bonus item creation feats, improved ability to identify magic items, a few other minor abilities, and an ability called Efficient Process. With this ability, he creates magic items at 5% less gold and XP per level (so at 10th level Artificer or 17th level character, he's only paying half-price for any magic items he creates).So, these guys can create magic weapons, armor, and other items more easily than other casters, but it's still a costly process. After all, as DM you have a lot of control over how much gold he gets his hands on. If you don't have a problem with that, then it should be fine.Of course, you'll want to see the PrC for yourself. I assume the player has the book, so you should ask him for a photocopy or something. For an online game, ask him to type it up for you and see if you think it's overpowered or not.Edited for spelling and clarity.</blockquote>
