#1 Serow_Darkstar Aug 14, 2008 22:47:50	Hi there CO, I've got a question - What's the best way I could optimize a level 3 Artificer, without the help of much down-time? The character is only likely to be active for the one adventure, so I don't have to worry much about item creation and such. I can come in, however, with magic items I would have been able to make. On the other hand, would I be better served as playing another class? There's already a Druid and a Monk - Any suggestions?

That, combined with a huge number of self-crafted scrolls, should get you pretty far.

As a 3rd level artificer, you've also got access to craft wondrous item; you can arguably have already spent your craft reserve making wondrous stuff, but I'm not sure you're going to be able to justify having spent any more XP than that...
