[QUOTE="Phoenix8008, post: 6512756, member: 211"] Okay, I need some help to decide exactly what I'm doing here. I'm picturing a dwarf that wants to learn and understand the tech side of things. A tinkerer and builder if possible. I understand that things like guns and laser rifles would be extremely rare, and he's not likely to be able to actually replicate the process needed to fabricate such items, but that would be his driving goal. Maybe he dreams of locating a foundry or assembly plant that he could get going. In the mean time, he might end up disassembling his share of any tech like that to try and figure it out (via downtime training to gain proficiency?). He's a wannabe scientist/technologist in a magical world. He wants to understand the old tech and be able to make some of it work again. I don't know what class would be best to go with this though. Maybe Warlock with some patron that encourages discovery/rebuilding the old tech? The intelligence of the Wizard would seem to work with the scientist type, but unless he's going to use a magic/tech merger to accomplish stuff it doesn't seem to flow well. None of the Saints listed would seem to lend themselves to this concept. Any other combat class would seem to work for just staying alive when exploring the ruins and finding the old tech. I don't have my PHB with me, but I'll have to see if any backgrounds flow well with this concept once I'm home tonight or tomorrow. I'm open to any ideas from anyone though. [/QUOTE]
