________________________________________ _________________________

I like to multiclass or getting a prestige class. But I don't know, witch I can take. So, I hope you have some advises for me. Maybe you can help me with the correct Feat at Level 3 or witch Items I should make first, wenn I reach 'Craft Wounderous Item'- Feat.

Maybe you see problems with this Charakter?

Thanks!

First off, there is almost never a reason to multiclass the Artificer. If you absolutly must, take 2 levels of Heir of Sybers. Take the Sybers Mark of Making.

True Creation 1/day... and since it is a Spell Like ability, it doesn;t use XP. So essentially, after this, you would never have to pay GP to create magic itmes ever again. XP is all you have to worry about.

So, onto the items. Wonderous items are wonderful, pardon the pun, things. They can do almost anything!

One of the best items you can make, is Boots of Expiditious Retreat. 4000 Market Price, 2000 gp to craft, 160xp and 4 days. +30 to your base speed is allllllways a life saver.

Another great item for low level is a 'belt' or whatever of Use Magical Device +5.

This will cost (5x5x100) 2500 gp market price. 1250gp to craft, 100xp, and 3 days.

This will be VERY handy early in your career. Just stick with Artificer until you can do 2 levels of Sybers. Even with those 2 levels, you are losing a 6th level infusion, a BAB, a Will save, I think, and 9000xp craft reserve!

12-14-04, 03:04 PM The Mark of Making has an XP cost. As per the eratta.

I'd go straight through artificer, though a brief dip into HoS is nifty, since you make your own dragonshard items, and a Siberys Mark is a pretty cool thing.

But the Artificer craft pool. You will love it.
