[QUOTE="Sravoff, post: 3324497, member: 33724"] Its looking better, but it still doesn't do much, aside from item creation outside of adventure time. Currently, at first level all our inventor can do is run around with a club and no armor. Perhaps give them a "Jury Rig Magic Item" ability of some kind at first level.
