[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 3567611, member: 7006"] I'll just cut to the chase... as it stands right now with what you've presented... the answer in my mind is 'no, it is not plausible'. The Church in Newthrone isn't that big that they'd require their own artificer, not when House Cannith has already been established in the storyline with having a pair of shops in the city and have been doing work for the Church for this crusade. Sorry to be so blunt... but I didn't want to say 'no' outright because there was a chance you might have had this really awesome idea already that would have made me go "Ah! I get it! That rocks!" Since it appears as though you don't have some background already created to explain away why a gnome artificer who isn't a member of House Cannith but instead a member of the Church of the Silver Flame and has found himself in Q'Barra and is required to go on this crusade with a bunch of warriors, paladins, and clerics... I'm going to have to say 'no' to this character. Sorry. I cannot stress enough Voda Vosa... there is the list of the very plausible character breakdowns in the very first post that say quite specifically the kinds of characters that are much, much easier to justify in this game. You have to decide what's more important to you... this particular game because you like the storyline and want to be a part of it... or the desire to "play race XXX and class XXX because I've never done that before." (which seems to be why you keep throwing out classes like shugenja, warlock, and artificer - all the more obscure and esoteric classes). If it's the latter, then I'd recommend waiting for a new game to start up that is completely fresh and has no backstory or character requirements, because they're much more likely to have space for a dwarven shugenja that is looking for information on some assassins that killed his friends. Thanx for your interest in the game... but I'm wondering if perhaps this game isn't really going to give you what you are looking for? I really don't know. [/QUOTE]
