Message: <blockquote data-quote="Anthelios" data-source="post: 3770283" data-attributes="member: 25609">I ran a long Eberron game with a very effective Artificer PC playing, here are some of the tricks he used:1.) Use Magic of Eberron book. Its got a LOT of useful infusions. Blast Rod is very handy in battle. 7th level is 7d8 worth of blasts (either as separate blasts or all at once) if my memory serves correct. Also, races of Eberron has some infusions which can turn the human artificer into a warforge temporarily, allowing him to directly buff and heal himself.2.) DMG2 Has some very surprisingly easy low market bonus abilities. Get yourself a flaming weapon and then use weapon augmentation to add the elemental summoning abilities from DMG2 to the weapon, turning your market value +2 sword into a huge fire elemental.3.) Bane weapon. Personal Weapon Augment + bane is very effective. +2 +2d6 comes in handy.4.) Grab some low cost rings/amulets/works of art from the treasure, or purchase them in a town. Use this to cast Bull's Strength and Cat's Grace early on. By 7th level those spells last over an hour. Wear the rings yourself, or pass them to the fighter to increase his damage output while you blast away with your blast rod.5.) The Magic Item Compendium has a lot of new abilities that can be conferred with weapon and armor augmentation spells. The list goes on.EDIT: I forgot to mention, in another game I got to play in, the artificer PC and my necromancer came up with a wicked little combo. He would add the wounding property to his three iron defenders, then I would follow up with Escalating enfeeblement, since the target had CON damage already.About the iron defenders, there is a feat in magic of eberron which allows you to give your hommoculi special abilities. One of which is storing an infusion.. like a weapon augmentation or a repair construct they can cast on them self. This saves time at the beginning of the battle.</blockquote>
