. . . am thinking of playing an Artificer in a non-Eberroni world.

How well would this work? From eye-balling the infusion lists, they are very heavy on effecting constructs. However, if playing in a world other than the construct/living construct-rich Eberron, is this redundancy going to be a factor?

I like the idea of the class, and am keen to give it a whirl . . . anyone played an Artificer out of Eberron, and found the infusion lists a little limited due to the lack of construct-type targets, etc . . ?

Knowledge Arcitecture and Engineering....go!

Constructs barely even matter to them.
