[QUOTE="draconlord, post: 5587739, member: 6675873"] Hi. As the title might have already subtly implied, I'm trying to create a level 12 Batman Artificer. Any advice on magical items/spells/general gameplay would be highly recommended. Also, DCs are too low, but hey. Here's the general concept so far: Level 12 Human Artificer. Gold: 88,000 to play with(standard) Item Creation XP: The DMs giving me 6000 free xp, plus the basic bonuses artificers get. Obviously the other characters are leveling up a bit quicker, but with a batman build, I honestly doubt it's that big a deal. Feats: free Artificer ones, plus: Extraordinary Artisan Legendary Artisan Wand Mastery Craft Contigent Spell Extend Spell Persistent Spell Quicken Spell Two Weapon Fighting* Double Wand Wielder* The Double Wand Wielder chain doesn't seem to go well with the Batman theme. It's a tossup, really, since Etch Schema and Improved Homunculus(or Craft Construct) would be really cool. However, DWW allows some blasting potential to aid and abet the party's sorcerer, plus the ability to blast out a spell and then Dimensional Door away is invaluable. Skills: Except for UMD, idrc. Scrolls/wands: Now this is the most important part of being an artificer, especially a batman artificer. I could emulate every single spell from [U][I]any spell list[/I][/U]. Broken? a tad. At level 12, I could emulate up to 7th level spells. However, high-level scrolls are expensive as ----, so it's probably better for me to have a whole lotta low-level scrolls instead of one huge whammy(sorta like the fox vs. hedgehog argument) Please tell me if there's any glaringly important spells I missed.(Note that unless stated otherwise, the minimum CL is assumed. Also unless stated otherwise, it's a scroll, not a wand). Oh, and I choose to use mostly PHB spells unless it's [I]really [/I]good, because my group tends to get pissed if somebody checks the rulebook for twenty minutes during combat. * asterisks are next to scrolls I'm not actually likely to use but are so cheap not being prepared for the contigency is just idiotic [U]Underlined [/U]are ones I'm very likely to use.
