A series of one off games.

[Dictum Mortuum]

What book is the Trapsmith in?

One feat on each uneven level, or an extra feat now and an extra feat on level 13 it is the same thing

I should probably write all this stuff in the OP.

Heroics doesn't stack with itself.

Dungeonscape. They have a weird spell list with great spells at really low level. They get dimension door at level 2 with caster level 3, which is a lot cheaper than level 4 with caster level 7.
I fixed the feats.

Sure you can use them.

But remember artificers use their character level OR the minimum caster level of the spell as caster level, whichever is higher. That's at least how I read Page 32 of the Ebberron Campaign setting. So remember to use the your level on the level you create the item.

Ah, good thing you mentioned it, can't I voluntarily lower my level like spellcasters do?

[Mixster]

Doesn't look like it to me.

[Dictum Mortuum]

All right, no problem.

[Dictum Mortuum]

OK, I'm done, here's the sheet -> http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=239445

If you see any mistake, please inform me.

I'm not making an artificer again in my life

[jameswilliamogle]

Aren't Artificers the pits?  You have to use a freakin' spreadsheet just to figure out what you can do with your damn reserve pool!  Its horrible!  And the Warforged Artificers are the easiest ones, too!!! 

May I look at your sheet DM?  Is there any synergy here between party members before hand?

Of course you may, I think it's public anyway.
I forgot to add the item crafting breakdown, which is a boring list of numbers, really.
The problem comes when you factor in reductions, like the artisan line of feats. It's horrible. Horrible horrible horrible. At a certain point I had four calculators open. And I made a mistake. And had to do them all over again. Seriously, it took me three days just to make the item list, while the character took less than an hour.

Synergy with party members is some white raven maneuvers, a rather light lockdown setup (the feats are not enough :/ I can gain robilar's gambit through heroics though) and infusions. The main shtick is charging with persistent lion's charge, wraithstrike, swift haste, swift fly and power attack from heroics. I hope it is scary enough. I would also like to know how the white raven charging maneuvers interact with pounce.

He is probably the fastest warforged ever known, as persistent unfettered heroism and wand surge enable him to cast dimension door each round essentially for free. I could make more wands to benefit from this (know I only have the lion's charge wand and the dimension door wand), but that stupid wording that makes artificers unable to reduce their effective caster level for crafting really ups the costs. I mean, I had to buy most of these 'normal' wands (as eternal wands have a standard caster level and are more like wondrous items anyway).

By the way, the first two levels the most optimal use of my craft reserve was to dump them all on scrolls. I have like .... 74 scrolls, mostly of first level spells inside my handy haversack. Thank Mystra I found that scroll organizers from FRCS (mundane items, too! only 5gp each), now they are a lot more ... organized. So if anyone needs one of my 21 scrolls of lesser restoration or benign transposition or anything really, just ask

Yeah I've got some of the charge stuff too, but with a little side-schtick going on, as well.

[Mixster]

I'm terrible sorry to force you to go through that.

Now I have to proof read it.

Yuck.

EDIT:

I realise haven't given much information on how this game is going to run, so here is the general run-down:

The game will be played as a series of one-off mainly one off dungeoncrawls, but with also some roleplaying thrown in at relevant points, and quite a few in the moment decisions. Sometimes your actions may differ from what I'd expect my players to do, which will mean I will run the spin-off story-line you create, and then merely giving a short read on what the players where supposed to do. I think this will be both fun and educating for all of us

A lot of the silly things in the game will just be cut out as narrative test, how you found your way to the dungeon and how many barmaids you've slept with the day before is rarely of importance to me. And thus while I do enjoy roleplaying those moments IRL, I hope we can skip them for this game. Since this is mainly a series of dungeons I want to test and you are the high powered guinea pigs I expect to run through this.

As such the games will contain loads of dungeoncrawling and puzzle solving, while it will contain very little of that background character developing stuff.

I hope your are all cool with this, but I will adopt to satisify the needs of the players, it is your campaign too after all.

[Amechra]

I'm fine with that; I'm confused as hell how my character was living in that village.

Still, can anyone help me with level 3- Cleric buffs? It would be a great help, since I don't know what are the best spells.

(Mixster, if I grab Guidance of the Avatar and other such awesomeness, would I be able to effect Hostile++ people's attitude?)

Oh, and by the way, just in case my character permadies, should I make a backup?

I think the original DC for Hostile++ is something like 80 or 90. But actually I've never taken the whole friendly to Hostile parameter that seriously, and used Diplomacy as a much more, you want this NPC to do that for you, roll a Diplomacy.

The whole idea that a person is just generally nice to you and will take a bullet for someone he's just met without magical effects is sort of weird.

Well, perhaps you were a normal cat once, living in the village and when the dragon attacked your good fairy godmother gave your wings and stuff?
Actually I have no idea either, but it was the background I set for my players.

You can write a Back-Up if you want. But the transition to a new character will not be beautiful.

Also, since you like multi-weapon fighting with your claws, Girallions Blessing is a third level cleric spell by the way.

What's your caster level? It's a good idea to memorize sign, resurgence, divine favor and several level 3 spells from spell compendium are good choices.

[jameswilliamogle]

My votes:

Magic Vestment
Protection from Energy
Alter Fortune
Mass Lesser Vigor

[HeadofVecna]

Can someone help me with spell choice? Thing is, I don't know what the best 3rd level or lower buffs are on the Cleric list. I can definitely handle Bard spells, though.

Its not comprehesive, but I like the following:
Sign (SpC)
Silence
Sanctuary
Summon Monster 1
Conviction (Spell Compendium)
Resurgence (Spell Compendium)
Vigor, Lesser (Spell Compendium)

Aid
Divine Insight (Spell Compendium)

Animate Dead - Flankers!
Blindsight (Spell Compendium)
Know Vulnerabilities (Spell Compendium)
Spikes (Spell Compendium)
Mantle of Good/Evil/Law/Chaos (Spell Compendium)

And I second the vote for Alter Fortune (PHb2) that spell is awesome

[Amechra]

I'm CL 5 (It's not really the focus of my build, so...)

I will take Girallions Blessing (book, please); how does it synergize with Whirling Blade, which, strangely enough, works on my claws.

I'll look through SpComp tonight to see what I can find.

Thanks for your suggestions, guys.

[HeadofVecna]

JamesWM, I just want to make sure Den can make use of Greater Mighty Wallop (RotD) before have Nhilwrae memorize it.

Girallions blessing is Spell Compendium IIRC.
