Message: <blockquote data-quote="Octal40" data-source="post: 3048689" data-attributes="member: 30805">I'm going to be playing an Artificer in a game that starts next week. We'll all be 7th level. At 1st level, we're all gestalt //fighter. After that, we level up in a single class only. This is for thematic reasons. Another player is going to play as <a href="http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/wp/20030412a" target="_blank">a Maug (Fiend Folio)</a> fighter. Maugs are constructs, but not golems (they don't have construct immunities, but they do get a LOT of immunities). My giggling and snickering goblin artificer will be riding atop his back. Full time if I can make the Concentration checks while the Thull (the Maug) is fighting.We're 32 point buy, 19k gold, 6.5k/item max.My questions:1) What type of artificer should I be? The bufficer and blastificer seem like the best options. I'd like advice from players who have played an artificer with a warforged/construct in the party. What buffs did you find valuable?2) Since I'm gestalt with Fighter, I get a fighter bonus feat at 1st level. Since I'm going to be almost entirely ranged, Point Blank Shot and Precise Shot seem like a no brainer. But! I'm also interested in dual weilding wands, so grabbing Two Weapon Fighting here seems like a good thing. I'd love to hear from players (or DMs who have had players) who have gone the double wand route.3) What should I build for a riding basket/saddle? If I go the basket route, can I -- at 7th level -- make the interior an extra dimmensional space? Large enough for a lab to do my work? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> If not, how would you enchant it? There aren't a lot of magic saddle-type items in the books. Plus, I don't need to make Ride checks. I will not steer Thull with my knees. Much easier to just talk to him about a plan of action. Is there a way to make the basket give a bonus to Concentration for the occupant? Can I specify the type of bonus (compentence vs enhancement vs whatever)?</blockquote>
