06-04-06, 11:03 PM Just wanting to ask quick advice --

A friend of mine gets a huge kick out of being able to make stuff in-game, and is especially looking forward to being level 15 (he's 12 now) and getting Craft Construct. He's a straight-up cleric.

He would like to add some interest to his character by taking a prC, but without impacting his casting level too much (or at all if possible). Techsmith sprang immediately to mind, but upon reading it it seems kinda so-so on the creation side of things. Gondsmen kinda suck, unless there's rules I'm not familiar with that apply to them a la warforged. For the extra sphere/construct annihilation side of it, Techsmith's are fine. But.... they actually suck a bit at making things.

Can anyone tell me what another, alternate choice would be? Even if not a class, just some ruleset somewhere for building mechanical things. Or, a decent Techsmith build would be fine, if you're going to use the extra domain to, say, meet requirements for crafting certain things.

So, please, help with a prC for a guy who just wants to make robots, 12th level cleric of Gond.
