[QUOTE="Jeremy Ackerman-Yost, post: 1377386, member: 4720"] Just sort of percolating a few ideas I've heard here... A master Dwarven magical craftsman. Kind of plays up the "arcane formula" aspect of D&D wizardry. He can "see" the magical structure in things. i.e. he could look at a sword and just sort of see where to "hang" magic onto it. Give him lots of ranks in Alchemy and have him fiddle with various substances and how they could enhance his magic creations. (Maybe the DM and you could cook up some power component ideas for magic items) If he were trying to identify the magical properties of say, an axe someone had found, he would look at, weigh it in one hand, pull out a hair and run it along the edge, taste the metal, all while mumbling under his breath: "little bit o' sulfur in there, seems like fire to me..." And if he were thinking about how to enhance an existing item, he would say things like, "Could hook a nice dazing effect on there... might need some pixie dust..." And so on. [/QUOTE]
