I'm looking for ideas. The idea is that a strong wizards guild, in a major city, has developed special practices and tools for creation of magic items. I'd like to reflect this training in the form of a PrC. This is not intended to be a PC class, so things that require time or bulky equipment are certainly open. Some way to lower the cost in gp and xp are my main desires. Just looking for suggestions.

How about a 5-level PrC that includes partial spellcasting improvement and the acquisition of the three artisan feats from the Eberron Campaign Setting?

The Artisan

Entry Requirements
• The character must possess at least three item creation feats
• The character must be able to cast 3rd-level spells

Features
• d6 hit die
• 2+Int mod skill points every level (with class skills mainly in wizard class skills)
• Poor BAB
• Good will saves, poor fortitude and reflex saves
• Gains +1 level of existing spellcasting at levels 2, 4, and 5
• Gains Exceptional Artisan feat (reduces time for item creation by 25%) at level 1
• Gains Extraordinary Artisan feat (reduces gp cost for item creation by 25%) at level 3
• Gains Legendary Artisan feat (reduces XP cost for item creation by 25%) at level 5

Otherwise, the Towers of High Sorcery sourcebook (published by Sovereign Press, for the Dragonlance Campaign Setting) has a decent Spell Broker PrC, with similar benefits.

Yep, that's pretty close. The decrease in time isn't really an advantage for such a character, most of the time, but it's a perk.
