09-19-06, 09:48 PM I need some help with my Rock Gnome from FR. I want him to be a merchant who can make a ton of gold by buying and selling products. And my DM is making me start out lvl. 10 so I am not sure what classes to put in to be a sweet merchant.

I also want to have some sort of power or ability or skill, like being a Mage Merchant would be sweet. Or a Martial Arts Maniac Merchant. Or a Monk Merchant... I am just not sure.:confused:

Please give me some ideas.

09-20-06, 12:07 PM Artificer is an excellent choice. Also, there is a class in the DL source book War Of The Lance that has a class called the master. It allows your masterwork weapons to convey huge bonus's. Its not campeign specific so intergrating it into FR shouldn't be a problem. Mabey a multiclass mixture of the two. Also IIRC, there is a feat or two in the PHB 2 that allows you to sell items for more money.

Hope this helps.

Good Luck.
