Mar 14, 2012 22:52:53 I will be playing in a game where the main activity of the campaign is interacting with the denizens of a populated city. I'm looking to make a generally benevolent character that will attempt to reconstruct some sections of the city that have fallen into horrible conditions and disrepair. I was looking for suggestions on what type of character would be best suited for city/town construction projects.
Thank you for any assistance in advance.

I think there's a magic lyre or harp that can also be used in this instance, but can't recall what it is exactly.

Mar 15, 2012 21:35:16 I was looking to stay away from using undead, the people of the town would most likely not appreciate it.
Lyre of building from the stronghold buider's guide would be useful for construction.
I like the artificer idea, I'm looking into playing a Psion shaper with their access to creation, fabricate and the nifty astral construct.
