[QUOTE="irdeggman, post: 3770078, member: 16285"] I have to assume you are using action points. If not, the Eberrron setting class - artificer is hampered a lot. The ability to spend AP to reduce casting time is huge. He can also spend charges to apply metamagic feats to wands (if he has the metamagic feat) - so that CL -1 wand of magic missiles could be much more powerful if appropriately "metamagiced". And he should be good at Disabling Devices too. You need to find wands, staves or rods. The artificer's strength lies in his UMD ability (second only to the warlock). Is the player dissatisifed with his ability to contribute in combat or are the other players? There is a major difference. If the player is not happy then look for ways to help him out (several have been suggested), if it the rest of the players - tough it. It is his character and he is doing what his character does well. Making items that the party can use. [/QUOTE]
