Jandeku 11-20-07, 08:21 PM	I started my first campaign as a DM some months ago, and recently I was attempting to introduce a spellcaster NPC that focuses on building constructs of various kinds. As a prototype, I made him as a wizard and made sure he had the most common spells for construct-building (according to the ones on the monster manuals)... In the end, I wasn't all that satisfied with the final result. My question is: is there any prestige class for this kind of characters, or even feats that'd give him an edge over regularly built constructs?

Effigy Master is good at building them, also you could probably stack a few levels of Maester onto that too to get quick crafting and whatever else it grants. Check out Eberron as well. I know there is the Artificer class that has specific abilities for constructs, so there's bound to be more stuff in that setting for manipulating constructs.

I was looking at Maester combined with Effigy Master - pointless. Maester sucks. Though if you are going to craft a colossal effigy, then yeah, you can craft it in a month instead of 2.
