Construct Creater PrC

[PiccaloJr]

Ok, so I've looked and looked for PrCs that deal with making Constructs/Golems/Homonoculi and all I've found is Golem Master from Kingdoms of Kalamar and Effigy Master in Complete Arcane. Here is the reason for the search:
I'm working on a character for a gestault game. Artificer/Sorc that starts play with the Construct Graft "Mighty Arm". (Story line tie in. Only 1 arm is a construct arm) I've always liked the golems in the MM and the ones that EBH brings out are neat. Just having a heck of a time finding a PrC based on their creation.
A few people on the official WotC boards have been helpful in pointing out the Effigy master and a couple feats that could help. I'm just checking here to see if anyone had any further ideas/info/rants/pancakes

^_^

Hard to have a class based on the limited constructs given in the Core rules. Check out 'GolemCraft 101' This small pdf has pretty solid rules on the constructing of Golems, homunculi, and other arcane things..along with a base class dedicated to making the things.

Well worth it {sorry, don't have an easy link, but its on RPGNow last time I checked}


BTW, welcome to the boards!

lol thanks! ^_^
I'll definetly check this out.

Well I checked out Golemcraft 101. It was decent. You still have to be a fairly high level caster to toss most of that stuff down though, but still not a bad buy.

On the other hand I think I found what I needed. The Techsmith PrC from Faiths and Pantheons (Faerun). A few small adjustments to it and it's PERFECT for Artificers who want to go the golem/construct route.
For those not in familiar with it, you get a free construct companion that will fight for you. You can upgrade him and out fit him with weapons and the like. You also get better at crafting items. In addition to that you learn to really put the hurt on constructs in general.
The only issue we saw with it was the Bombs thing. Eberron doesn't have smokepowder like Faerun so we just swapped that ability out for an ability to create more effective golem/constructs. If anyone is interested I'll post the write up we did on it.

The PrC that grants the Gondsman, right? It's fun.

Artificers can always burn feats on craft golem or craft effigy, if so inclined. IIRC the flesh golem is reasonably inexpensive, though getting it through populated areas requires a bit of planning.

Mongoose has a whole book devoted to constructs I think.

I asked a similar question a few months ago, and I believe the Kingdoms of Kalamar's 3.5 Player's Book has a class along the lines of what you're looking for.

I didn't buy it, because the campaign I needed the class for never got off the ground.

Yea, I planned out the character and did take craft construct to be able to make Effigys and later full on Golems. But I'm thinking starting in Techsmith will work and really bring out what I want with the character without too much fanageling. Oh, and flesh golems? To me, only necromancers with a last name ending in "stein" should touch that.

I'll search it up, but do you know a name on the book? I did find the book Golemcraft101. Dunno if that was the one you ment.

I have it. It's -ok- at best. They get a free Homonoculus, Animate Object once a day, A gargolye for 24 hours, 50% reduction in cost and 25% in time on Golem making, a buff on their golems stats when they make them, and no chance of having them break control. I like the crafting time/money reduciton and the buff but the rest, imo, is just not worth the PrC.

I'm gonna go ahead and finish the writeup of our version of the Techsmith for Eberron and toss it up here.
While I'm doing so, does anyone have any ideas on what to call the Gondsman? Gond is the greater god of creation/forge in Faerun and Onatar is the on in Eberron. Onatarman is kind of an odd name. ^_^

Hand of Onatar?

Your Eberron version should be interesting.
